I Need a Villain ~Katsura, Ban/D, Dante (Fin)

Post by Dante on Nov 14, 2017 6:48:13 GMT
Azetramon sneers at Ban after giving his speech. He brought up some good points. Azetramon was unquestionably the most evil and corrupt one there. Still, she refuses to back down, and admit that maybe her beliefs were self-serving. Katsura activates a card, and Nyao becomes gigantic. The super-sized Mega creates a tornado, and the wind generated starts to pull the Goddess in. Azetramon is hit by the blade for heavy damage. While Gunner fought valiantly, D and Ban soon had the upper hand. Gunner's shield takes several hits, and his arm is nearly broken. Gunner and the Mistress take up defensive stances.
"I do not expect you to understand the magnitude of the forces at work. Every generation has those who feel entitled to rule. Only I fully understand what must be done. You have not studied the ancient texts that I have. You have no idea what it is like to rule a kingdom with an iron first. If it was not for me, all of you would be at the mercy of a lesser tyrant."
Gunner examines his shield. It has become badly cracked and damaged. Gunner tosses the shield down, choosing to opt for more speed. His left arm could barely hold it up any longer anyway. The blacksmith does his best to avoid Nyao's gaze when necessary. The illusion made him afraid, but his devotion to his Mistress kept him going on. Gunner took exception to some of the things Ban said. "You know, I like to think I'm a pretty laid back guy. It takes a lot to rock my boat. But I'm not some zombie brained lackey blindly following orders. You may have noticed that I do not behave like others under the effects of the Goddess. That is because I choose to serve my Mistress, because I love her with all my heart, and I would follow her through the depths of hell. I am a little upset."
Gunner raises his hammer and slams it down, creating another shockwave. It is only a distraction to try and catch Ban and D off guard. He swings his hammer around and sends it flying towards D, while still holding onto the handle. The hammer flies towards D and slams down into the ground. Gunner lets go before the impact, and stabilizes himself. He turns to Ban and attempts to grab him by the fur, and lift him up over his head to slam him on the ground.
Piedmon takes notice of the giant Nyao, and is distracted by some of her curves. (Thinking) "Hmm, that body's got it going on. If I wasn't fighting to avenge my love, I might be into that. Maybe I will wait until she digivolves to Mervamon. Oh yes." Piedmon raises his hand out and fires a pink colored laser towards Azetramon. The blast travels at high speed, but the Goddess blocks it with her magic barrier. Piedmon fires a few more blasts, but it has little effect. "Your magic is vastly inferior to mine. With the power and the knowledge of two Goddesses, two expert sorceresses, you might as well be a magician." Cambramon takes offense. "Hey! I know real magic!" "Silence, whore." Azetramon fires a laser much like Piedmon's but much larger and more powerful. The blast hits the ground next to Revan, Piddomon, and Cambramon. "No! Revan and Cambramon!"
The trio lays on the ground, injured in the blast. Revan struggles to get up, his body already reaching its psychical limit. Dante, Raziya, and Kiyoko watch on from the balcony. "I don't get it, Dante. You ask me out on a date, then your bimbo friend over here shows up and ruins everything, and now you've fallen for that psychopath? You're never going to be boyfriend material!" "There are more important things going on than your stupid little date! If you had not acted so rude, Misty and I would not have captured you." Raziya and Kiyoko get up in each other's faces. "Ladies, there is no need to fight. We can all serve my Mistress." "Oh, what is the use? Arguing with Miss damsel in distress over here is not going to change Dante back." "Well how can we snap him out of it?" "Maybe if we remind him of things he likes?" Kiyoko grabs Dante's hands. "Dante, I want you to think about your favorite books, maybe a chant you enjoy listening to. Now picture yourself all alone in a tranquil temple."
Raziya facepalms. "That's not what Dante likes! That's all stuff you like. Let's see, video games, junk food, oh! Cigarettes. Dante, think about lighting up one of those thin white stink sticks. Feel the tobacco making your fingers greasy. Inhale the aroma, as the smoke goes down smooth and fills your lungs with toxins." "Yes, I do enjoy smoking. Even if it is very unhealthy. But what matters is that I serve my Mistress." "Oh great! Nice plan, Kiyoko." "It was a fine plan." Raziya smacks Dante in the face. "Snap out of it, you obsessed pervert! You're really letting that monster of a woman bewitch you? Can't you see that she's crazy?!" "You calling someone crazy. I find that humorous." "Shut up, you're not helping."
While Dante deals with his harem, the Goddess focuses on Nyao. "Increasing in size is not enough to challenge my power. You should have surrendered when you still had the chance." Azetramon activates a spell, covering herself in a violet aura. She dashes towards Nyao, and fazes out. She passes by Nyao's blade, attempting to strike with a highly concentrated blast of energy at Nyao's chest. Azetramon passes by Nyao, and she begins to faze back completely. If the attack lands, it would surely deal a devastating amount of damage. "Lilithmon may have her Razor Nails, but I possess a technique that is far more lethal, and now it is more deadly than ever. Consider it an upgraded Death Nail, a technique I once used to eliminate an emperor that ruled over what is now known as the Eastern Timberlands. I would be surprised if you choose to continue fighting after receiving such an attack. Is it really worth it to you to stand against my supremacy? You certainly have an interesting taste in companions. Ban seems to be bright enough, but you choose to accompany that fool, Piedmon? Typical. Always the first to throw a stone, yet never do you examine yourself for faults. All of you are guilty of this. Kiyoko is the worst offender." "Look who is speaking."

The two naturally jumped in the air, evading the shockwave, once more, D noticed the Hammer late, and couldn't escape in time. Ban was lifted, and landed hard on the ground, wind being knocked from his digital lungs. He lied there, for a moment, while Azetramon finished her monologue. Suddenly, his massive fist reached up, grabbing Gunner by the face, "I don't understand Love, as I have never allowed my emotions to dictate my actions, so I suppose I do not understand your position. However..." he said, while he placed his other hand on the ground behind himself, using his legs and his arm to fling himself and the human into the air, for a moment, before he slammed Gunner into the ground, headfirst, "...we can argue over emotions or the right to rule, or we can focus on the only thing that actually matters here..." he continued, before he spun in place, throwing Gunner a fair distance away, "...is the fight at hand, and whoever will be standing at the end of this."
He stood, panting from the impact, still reeling from the human's strength, before he regained his composure. Despite his stern appearance, he was enjoying this, and fire burned in his eyes as he stared at the human. He reached for his blade, and tossed it aside, bringing his fists up, taking a defensive stance now. He spoke loudly, to answer the mistress's statement, "I serve no one. Nor will anyone serve me. I only accept allies, those who can stand alongside me, never those who push others down to achieve their goals. You are a fool for taking me for some common lackey, like this human here." he said, purposely trying to provoke his enemy. He noticed Azetramon boasting about a new ability, the words rang empty until proven with action, but he couldn't help but wonder if Nyao and Piedmon were enough. D, in the meantime, writhed in place, trying to dislodge the hammer, until he decided to grab onto it, in case Gunner tried to call it back.

Katsura was losing respect for Azetramon every second, inspired by Ban's speech Katsura yelled up from her tile on the battlefield in retaliation. "The right to rule is measured by the strength of the heart not by power. You're nothing but a bully!" Katsura was getting serious as you could see in her determined expression, you could say that Katsura was blind to the world but maybe, just maybe did she had a different opinion? The next thing that caught Katsura's attention was Gunner, though it wasn't his miserable state or his now useless arm that only amounted to a cold dead look. It was his response to Ban that left Katsura "triggered". "That's even worse! You have a free will, you should know better. How can you look yourself in the mirror knowing you're doing this by choice?"
While Piedmon was busy shooting magic at Azetramon to no avail, Nyao listened in on a conversation between Dante and his surprisingly large group of girls, since when was this a harem anime? Well it gave Nyao an idea as she yelled to Azetramon. "Hey crazy lady, an advice from one psychic to another. Dante will never love you, he's nothing but a parrot saying whatever you have brainwashed him to. You resorting to mind control proves how worthless you are to him. Don't believe me? Why don't you undo your charm on him and ask? I dare you or are you afraid to find out how little you truly mean to him?" Nyao was largely unmoved by Azetramon's attack. All she did to counter it was moving her shield near her chest and allow it to grow to gigantic proportions. The beam hit her shield and was split in all kinds of directions leaving Nyao completely unharmed. Azetramon's self-glorifying rant was thus left redundant. "Yeah and I got a shield that grows to the size I need, it's not fancy but it gets the job done. You can spend most of your life reading ancient books and practicing to master a single obscure spell, or you just can spend 5 minutes doing this:"
Nyao shrunk her shield to a more manageable size, she ran towards Azetramon with a sword in one hand and her other fist clenched. First Nyao tried to give Azetramon a well deserved punch, then she made several slashes with her sword in an X formation this was a serious attempt to hurt Azetramon.

Ban's attacks had left Gunner laying motionless on the ground. He was essentially out of the fight now, clinging onto what little energy he had left. Azetramon does her best to keep up with Nyao's attacks, creating barriers in front of her hands, but the Goddess was soon overwhelmed. Nyao's attacks had gotten through, and after sustaining significant damage, Azetramon's form continues to mutate from her original appearance. Her Death Nail had been unsuccessful, and now it looks like the Goddess was going to have to go on the defensive without Gunner.
Both Ban and Katsura took offense to Azetramon's words, and Gunner's loyalty. Nyao accuses Dante of just being a puppet, and tries the coax the Mistress into removing her control over the Tamer. "Hmph, pitiful! You actually think I would willingly relinquish my last available servant? Gunner, my love... you have served me well. Dante, would you prove your loyalty by shutting up that obnoxious priestess once and for all?" "But, my Mistress... Kiyoko is my friend. I, I don't want to hurt her." Azetramon stares down at Dante from high in the air, struggling to maintain her form. "You dare question me?! I have given you an order!" "Yes, my Mistress."
Dante looks Kiyoko in the eyes. He does his best to control himself, but Azetramon's influence was too much to resist. Dante grabs Kiyoko by the throat with his hand. Kiyoko grabs his hand, trying to free herself. "Dante, this isn't you... I know, what it feels like..." Raziya attempts to separate the two, but Dante pushes her back. Kiyoko can fell Dante's hand grasping tighter. She sees the sorrow and anguish in his eyes. Suddenly her digivice starts to glow. Kiyoko is surrounded by a veil of light, and Dante is thrown back. Renamon's data biomerges with Kiyoko, forming the Mega level Sakuyamon. The spirit fox speaks with the elegance of Kiyoko, but with a stern tone. "Find your inner peace, Dante."
Sakuyamon throws a seal onto Dante's forehead. Dante's head feels like it is spinning, as the spirit energy flows through him. Azetramon's grasp on Dante's will is no more. "Kiyoko, it's gone! I can think clearly now. I'm so sorry! Please, forgive me." Sakuyamon looks at Dante with an emotionless expression. "It was not your fault. You are forgiven." Sakuyamon reaches down and picks up Piddomon's staff. "Azetramon! You believe yourself to be a Goddess among insects, but all you are is an evil presence that needs to be eradicated. You claim to possess tremendous power, but most of the power you wield was stolen."
Azetramon's form continues to shift. Several large spikes appear, and the faces of demons start showing up on her body. Her arms become demonic claws dripping with toxic liquid. "Ahh, this power, it's becoming more difficult to contain! It doesn't matter how many of you there are, or how hard you try. In the end my magic is too strong. I can feel the presence of the Dark Fortress flowing through me. It won't be long until I absorb all of you as well." "You are not the only one with powerful magic. With this staff, I can separate Lilithmon's energy from your wretched body. If only I had a suitable energy supply to execute this spell."
"I shall not grant you the chance! DIE!" Dark waves of energy spiral around Azetramon. The Mistress launches several streams of black toxic energy towards those remaining. Sakuyamon creates a barrier of spirit energy around those on the balcony. Piedmon creates a weaker barrier in front of Revan, Piddomon and Cambramon. Unfortunately, this left the others open, in particular Katsura. This toxic energy was more than enough to seriously harm a Digimon, and there was no telling what it would do to a human. After a few waves of toxic smog are unleashed, it begins to subside. Piedmon looks down at the Data Core around his waste. "So you need a lot of energy, eh Sakuyamon?"
A light purple aura starts to form around Piedmon. "All my life, I have lived for chaos, greed, pleasure, destruction, and acting. But above all I have always had one true love. However, now I have other friends that I care about, and they care about me. I will not allow you to hurt my friends any longer. I will save Lilithmon, even if it costs me my life." Piedmon activates the Data Core. He starts releasing its energy around him. "Sakuyamon, fire up your spell." Sakuyamon points the staff at Azetramon, and traps her in place inside a veil of golden spirit energy. "I know I haven't exactly lived up to my true colors as of late. I've always been the Villain. I've laughed as I made the lives of those around me miserable, and I reveled in their agony. I even destroyed the one I love. I hope this makes up for that. All of you have touched my dark heart in a way that it never was before. But all good things must come to an end. It is time for my farewell tour, my swan song, my final and greatest performance. All I ask is that you remember me. As a Villain, and in my last moments, as a Hero."
Piedmon flies over to Azetramon and passes through the spirit veil. "What are you doing? No, stop it!" Piedmon reaches towards Azetramon and grabs her. His energy and that from the Data Core combine with Sakuyamon's spell. Azetramon's form starts to warp even further. Lilithmon's torso appears sticking out of Azetramon's chest. Piedmon pulls, and he pulls. Azetramon screams out in pain. Finally Piedmon successfully removes Lilithmon from the Mistress. Lilithmon is wearing basic purple robes without her jewelry, and her black hair is long and messy. Piedmon and Lilithmon are sent crashing down onto the grounds of the Dark Fortress. Sakuyamon's spell ends, and the spirit fox drops to a knee, gasping for air.
Lilithmon lays on top of the Prince of Chaos. Piedmon's energy is almost gone, and Lilithmon is in no shape to fight either. "Piedmon, you, you saved me..." "All these years, and at long last, I get to hold you in my arms. Goodbye, my love." Piedmon's body turns a dark shade of red. His body shrinks down and turns into a little Piedmon doll. Lilithmon is devastated, as are Piedmon's lackeys. "Piedmon! NOOOOO! You crazy bastard! He's really gone..." Piddomon starts bawling his eyes out. "Master! WHYYYYYY?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYY?!" "This can't be happening! Not Piedmon! Why couldn't it have been Piddomon?!" "Lord Piedmon... you were a showman to the very end." Dante can't believe it. After almost 2 years of wanting to get revenge on Piedmon for what happened after the Data Core tournament, and Piedmon was finally gone. He just didn't think it would ever come to an end like this.
Azetramon attempts to generate a new form without Lilithmon's data. "You imbecile! Good riddance! Gunner is injured, and now Lilithmon is no longer apart of me. Is this how my reign comes to an end? No, I refuse to be defeated! I still have my true form! That pitiful clown died in vain! Wha ha ha ha ha ha! Which one of you pests is next?! Say goodnight!" Dark smoke forms around Azetramon, as she transforms into a giant dragon. Her scaly hide is as dark as the night. The spikes on her back could pierce through the strongest armor. Black slime drips down from her now reptilian mouth. Azetramon lets out an earth shattering roar that shakes the Dark Fortress to its core. The fortress begins descending lower and lower into the lava. "Behold! Gaze upon the one true Mistress!" Azetramon takes to the skies, reigning down clouds of toxic black smoke. "Damn it, Azetramon. You always were a handful. This time I'm not going to let you escape your fate!"

Ban coughed, for a moment, before wiping his jaw. The human was down, it was a bit soon, but he was an excellent fighter, despite the physical advantages Ban possessed as a digimon, but his ideals and his determination simply wasn't enough "haah... Haaah... Save your strength, warrior, contemplate your defeat, and forge a new path for yourself, rather than follow another's without question." He said, turning to D, who was already freed from the hammer. D stood, cracking his neck, and taking a puff of his cigarette, before glancing towards the spectacle of light. The two watched Piedmon's stand, realizing his intentions early, and only able to stand by as he performed his final act. Ban and D didn't know the clown prince long enough to feel a meaningful connection, but Piedmon was far more than a simple trickster. He watched as Dante and Lilithmon were both freed, obviously dragging Azetramon to her limits. She morphed from her human form, into a monstrous one. Ban turned away, he could throw as many speeches as he liked at her, but she was clearly beyond any form of reason, so Ban leaned down, picking up Gunner's hammer. It seemed human weapons bore a unique ability, and were capable of damaging virtually anything, human, digimon, mega levels, it hardly mattered. "Mistress? I don't see no mistress, all I see is a rabid lizard that needs to be put down." D remarked, as he also picked up the hammer. He glanced towards Gunner, "Hope ya don't mind, but if you do mind... I don't care that much" he stated, quite bluntly, as the two gripped the hammer, before throwing it at the dragon, not really sure how much damage it would do, but feeling it would be more effective than their fists and blades alone.

At the start Nyao found immensely fun in beating Azetramon to the pulp with nothing but her sword technique. There was just something hilariously ironic about a self-proclaimed Goddess who has spent years studying magic only to struggle against a sword in an actual fight. When Gunner fell and the mistress refused to undo her power over Dante, all Nyao did was grin smugly. You could get the impression that on top of having mind controlling powers Nyao also had the power to predict the future, the latter was of course a fallacy. The following struggle between Kyoko and Dante made Nyao laugh yet again, with not the slightest hint of surprise. Aside from fighting, Nyao did not speak up until the biomerged Sakuyamon showed up and freed Dante from her spell.
"Not really I just tried to warn you. That is the "love" the boy has for you that's the demonstration of his "loyalty". Aside from Gunner, nobody loves you let alone worships you as a Goddess. You're all alone."
As it turns out, coaxing Azetramon to free Dante was just the tip of the iceberg. Nyao's true target was Azetramon's psyche which she intended to mercilessly break through insecurity and by destroying all her confidence in herself. Would anyone really love you if they weren't forced? If not does it even count? A narcissist's worst nightmare is more often than not paranoia. Nyao then saw Azetramon devole into a demon with long deadly spikes that leaked toxic waste. "You steal others power to call your own. But look on the bright side: Now your outside is as beautiful as your inside. You welcome!" This had to be the most backhanded compliment Nyao have ever given. Katsura couldn't even take Azetramon seriously anymore, all she saw was a rotten whiny girl that somehow had acquired enough power to be a threat.
"And I thought Liliana was entitled." The things that happened next would forever charge both Nyao and Katsura's life.
After hearing yet another self-glorifying rant from the remains of Azetramon which was starting to lose impact on Nyao, she heard that Sakuyamon knew enough about magic to further destroy Azetramon by separating a Lilithmon from the Goddess. Azetramon did not take that well and launched a large stream of black toxic energy. Nyao was mortified, so mortified that she called off her Eyes of dread and turned towards Katsura seeing how this would turn out.
"Oh no you don't!" Nyao ran right onto Katsura and engulfed her as a ball to take as much of the toxic energy intended for Katsura as possible. Nyao closed her eyes and assumed that this would be her final act.
Katsura screamed in horror, she closed her eyes in panic and slashed the first card she got in a desperate attempt to save Nyao's life. There was utter silence aside from the streams of toxic energy. Then Nyao noticed something odd, she felt no pain or anything. Nyao moved her hand closer and felt something cold almost... Metallic? "Huh? Am I dead now?" Nyao opened her eyes and saw a metal shield had taken all the toxic energy. As Nyao looked down, she saw Katsura crying. "Please don't leave me, I need you... I need you more than anything" "Katsura" "Huh?" "Thanks."
The giant Minervamon hugged Katsura for a minute before standing up to resume fighting. But now Piedmon had an idea, a terrifying idea. At first Katsura did not understand the situation and looked at him confused, then she heard a sentence that made her face go white. "Even if it costs my life"
"WHAT?! NO PIEDMON whatever you plan DON'T. I can't let you, I won't allow... I..."
It didn't matter what Katsura said, there was no way she could stop Piedmon from sacrificing his life to save his friends and his beloved Lilithmon. Katsura went through all her cards in vain, even if she did found a card her scanner had timed out and even then they only worked on Nyao or the environment. Katsura fell down on her knees crying in despair once the powerlessness hit her and Piedmon said his dying words.
Nyao took off her helmet in respect.
"This Azetramon, this is true loyalty. The kind you will never receive. Get up everybody! If we give up now Piedmon have died in vain. Azetramon is still not beaten but neither are we."
Katsura forced herself to get up again. "Katsura, don't blame yourself. You were right about Piedmon all along. Maybe I'm the one that fail to see the world for what it is."
Katsura dried her eyes in her sleeve as she turned to Ban who had taken Gunners hammer. While Nyao took her helmet on again. "I can't break a promise. That lizard needs to be stopped somehow." "We can't let Azetramon win that goes for everyone. Giving up now will be a disgrace to Piedmon's memory and doom everyone in the digital world. Piedmon, you shall never be forgotten" Nyao raised her sword in the air to signal a full-scale assault on Azetramon as a tribute to Piedmon.
Katsura used the Gaiamon card Katsura is out of cards.

With Piedmon sacrificing himself to both save Lilithmon and weaken Azetramon, the weight of the situation had sunk in. It would take all of them working together to stop Azetramon's reign of terror, even if it meant that some of them might not survive. As the Goddess's toxins fly towards Katsura, Nyao rushes over to protect her, but Katsura activates a card, creating a shield because she couldn't bare to lose Nyao. D picks up Gunner's hammer and throws it at the Goddess. A wise plan, this hammer clearly possessed some kind of magical qualities that even Azetramon would have to respect. However, Azetramon simply dodges, and the hammer falls back to the ground.
Lilithmon picks up the Piedmon doll, and heads towards the others. Dante and Raziya jump down from the balcony to join the group. Cambramon leans over the Piedmon doll and starts performing CPR. "Come on, Piedmon. Please, come back!" Suddenly Cambramon starts getting larger. She returns to her normal form. "Lord Piedmon's spell must have worn off now. He really is gone..." Some members of the group were crushed to lose him. Piddomon in particular is taking it really hard. "Piedmon was the only one who ever cared about me! He took me in after I fled Luminas, even though I've always been a terrible lackey. You deserved better than me, Piedmon."
Azetramon watches the group grieving for the Prince of Chaos. "You never cease to amaze me. You mean you actually have pity for that wretched jester? He was a blight upon the land. And you think I am ugly on the inside, Nyao. Piedmon was a deplorable Digimon, who reveled in tormenting his prey. You grieve for one tyrant, yet stand against another. A change of heart at the end of his life doesn't change anything. Piedmon died a fool's death." Lilithmon grinds her teeth, tightening her fists. In her current state, she wouldn't be able to fight until enough time has passed for her energy to recharge. "You know, you're really giving us Goddesses a bad name. They probably think all of us are narcissistic sociopaths." "Don't you start with me, Lilith! You loathed Piedmon every bit as much as I did."
With Gunner still laying on the ground, it was Azetramon vs all. Sakuyamon, Cambramon, and Lilimon step forward to fight the Mistress. Piddomon is too frightened to fight, instead cowering next to Revan and Lilithmon. "Oh, I'm so scared! Hide me!" Piddomon crouches down and lifts up Lithmon's robes, hiding between her legs. "What do you think you're doing?!" Lilithmon knees Piddomon in the face, and starts stomping on him. "Oww! Ooh! Ahh!" Dante and Raziya have to pull Lilithmon away from Piddomon. "Stupid obnoxious creep. Only Shirou and I get to act like perverts!" "Quit messing around, we need to figure out how we're going to stop Azetramon."
Sakuyamon and Lilimon fly up into the air. Azetramon descends down towards the spirit fox. Sakuyamon uses her Fox Drive spell, sending forth a wave of spirit flames that burn the Goddess. Azetramon flies past her and turns around, smacking Sakuyamon with her tail. Lilimon fires a Flower Cannon, but Azetramon dodges with ease. While she is distracted with Lilimon, Cambramon takes out a deck of playing cards, and sends them flying towards the Mistress. They slice up her scaly hide, but only deal minor damage. Azetramon charges up energy and fires a massive blast of psychic energy from her mouth towards the group. Cambramon takes off her top hat and a cyclone appears, absorbing the energy from the blast. "Hee hee hee, now I've got plenty of energy for more tricks."
Azetramon creates distances from the combatants, flying higher into the sky. Lilimon flies in for a melee strike, but Azetramon dashes towards her and attacks with her claws. She grabs a hold of Lilimon and starts crushing her with her claws. "No, Lilimon!" Azetramon is hit by another blast (you can decide who), and tosses the injured Lilimon to the ground. Cambramon reaches into her hat and pulls out a tommy gun. "Eat this, you overgrown lizard! Ha-ch-ch-cha!" Cambramon sprays a volley of rounds towards the Goddess, but the unholy monstrosity is able to dodge most of them. "It is no use! Azetramon is too fast for us. We need to find a way to keep her in one place long enough to hit her with a very powerful attack." Azetramon dives down from the sky, swooping down and unleashing a wave of psychic energy at ground level. Anyone in the battle is within range. The rest of the group is towards the outer ring of the blast, and is pushed back by the energy. An already injured Lilimon takes significant damage, and devolves down to Lalamon. Sakuyamon and Cambramon were also hit by the psychic wave, with Cambramon also sustaining significant damage.
Raziya runs out onto the battlefield to grab Lalamon. "No Raziya, don't go out there!" Azetramon leaves a trail of toxic smoke in her wake. Before Raziya can reach Lalamon, she starts coughing and choking on the toxins. Cambramon quickly dodges back, keeping her distance from the toxins. "Raziya's in trouble! We have to save her." "I'm not gonna breathe in that smoke to save her! I say good riddance." "Now is not the time to be spiteful." Azetramon returns to the skies, looking down on the war torn grounds. The Dark Fortress continues sinking lower and lower. "Um, is anyone else getting really, really hot?"

Ban frowned at how effortlessly she dodged it. D, however, just sighed, already knowing Ban's idea. "No." He said, not even looking at the older digimon, as he watched the rest fought the beast. The two jumped into the air, to avoid the psychic attack, "We need to be fast enough to hit her and be capable of following her into the air, if we are to hope to ever hit her." Ban explained, calmly, "And we are running out of footing." He added, as they landed back on the rapidly sinking castle. It seemed to be quite stuffy, but it wasn't a problem yet, "No, you old bastard, I'm sick of having to run to you for help with this trash." D said, "This is the last time." He sighed, throwing a punch, leading Ban to respond, until they glowed, and the roar of a jet echoed through the area, as an armored fist caught flame, as a blue blur sped past, streaking red, as it blew away the toxins surrounding Raziya, and flying past, in truth, Ourjamon had missed his attempt to grab the girl, and had only bought her a few moments free of the toxins. His actual target, he caught, however. The hammer was now somewhat small in his massive fists, but now he was sufficiently armed to face the beast. He prepped his engines for the monster's next attack, even if she stayed relatively high, his engines would ensure he could chase after her. The Brawler believed he had made a good enough window for someone to save the human girl.

Katsura sent Ban a sad nod. "I know... but Minervamon is her strongest form." Strongest form Katsura is aware of that is. Of course there was one final level Nyao had kept a secret knowing that the strain it would have on Katsura not to mention she needs more maturity to achieve it. Too bad really, now would have been the perfect time to launch such a power. Open Ban's next comment both Katsura and Nyao looked down, only then did they notice that the castle, not to mention the whole domain were currently sinking! In the meantime Katsura was steadily coming to terms with the fact that Piedmon was dead, seeing his castle going down combined with Azetramon's verbal smack down was enough to convert Katsura's grief into scorn.
"I'm not grieving a tyrant, I'm grieving a friend! Someone willing to give his life to save those he loves. And I don't care about you anymore..."
While Katsura walked out of the immediate battlefield knowing that her place was on the side row, not up front. Nyao meanwhile crackled her head sideways. *knick-knack* "I only got two things to say, you are such a spoiled royal pain in the ass that you are in the middle of destroying the domain for everyone, you included. 2 for once I have no obligation to go easy on you."
True to her words, Katsura had not only stopped crying but was now staring at Azetramon with dead cold eyes penetrating Azetramon's very digi soul this would give most people chills. Indeed Katsura did not look sad nor angry, barely alive when you think about it. She looked like an empty shell, proving that Azetramon had officially worn Katsura's patience thin. It gave a jarring contrast to Lilithmon complaining how thanks to Azetramon everyone thinks gods are sociopathic narcissists. Right now Katsura didn't even try to hide her true nature as a textbook sociopath with only a basic understanding of her own emotions and a talent for stage acting to over-compensate.
While Piddomon was busy hiding underneath Lilithmon, Nyao prepared a fighting stance with her sword, as she did her sword glowed brightly. But before Nyao could take advantage of its power Azetramon had finished her dogfight in the sky and was now flying down to launch a psychic wave of energy. Nyao who was within range had to lift her shield up towards her face, thankfully she was armored to protect her vital organs. Those places she couldn't defend was more hurt leaving rifts and moderate wounds. Finally the force alone shrunk Nyao back to her regular height after having been a living windshield for Katsura who suffered no effect whatsoever thanks to the unselfish efforts of Nyao. Nyao looked around the torn battlefield and several of her allies were hit though at least Ban seemed to have that under control, thus making Nyao morally confident in placing all her focus on Azetramon. Or did she? "Piddomon" Nyao began without turning away from Azetramon. "I know you're very afraid, so am I believe it or not. You see, not only are the stakes high but I can't do this alone. My sword could currently kill Azetramon with ease, however... Azetramon can fly and very fast, I can't in this form. But you can. I'm not asking you to die in a suicide mission, but if you care about Piedmon as much as he cared about you. Now is the chance to return his favor."

After a bit of a scuffle, D and Ban had combined to reform Oujamon. The Ultimate level sprang into action, retrieving Gunner's hammer and clearing a path through the toxins for Raziya to escape. Raziya grabs Lalamon and quickly returns to the group. Nyao shrinks down to her original size. However, something strange had happened to Katsura. Suddenly she came across as uncaring and sinister as the Goddess. Was her attitude before just a façade? A mask that she wore to manipulate those around her? This was a side of Katsura the group had not seen before. Nyao, still focused on Azetramon, gives Piddomon a rallying speech, persuading him to overcome his fears and fight the Goddess for Piedmon. The comically inept angel is resistant at first, but he was tired of being viewed as useless. This is his chance to finally be useful. Sakuyamon hands Piddomon his staff. "Surely you know something about this staff that I do not. Use it to stall the Mistress, and leave her open to a powerful attack." Piddomon looks at Sakuyamon with a confused expression, but nods and takes the staff. "Alright. It's time to prove myself. I will do it for Piedmon, and to spite all of those angels who mocked me!" "No, this staff possesses holy magic. You cannot channel its powers through malice or hatred. You must focus on your love for Piedmon, and defeat the foul beast with love, and compassion." Revan scoffs. "So lame..."The Dark Fortress continues to sink lower and lower. Lava starts flowing in through the lower portions. Soon they would be surrounded by lava. Sakuyamon grabs her own staff and stretches her arms out, creating a large but weak barrier to ward off the encroaching lava. "I can't hold it off forever. Go, and fulfil your destiny, young angel." Piddomon slowly steps forward, holding the staff with both hands in front of him. Cambramon floats behind Piddomon and places her hand on his shoulder. "Don't worry, you're not alone. We will stop that obnoxious monster together. With all of us working together, we will stand tall in the end." "What's with all this lovey dubby garbage? If I wasn't injured, I'd be joining Azetramon right about now."Azetramon lurks in the skies above the Dark Fortress. The sky turns red from the smoke and reflection of the lava. "Okay, now is my chance. It's just that I don't feel so go-bleh!" Piddomon hunches over and starts throwing up. "Alright, I think I can do this now." "Worst case scenario, everyone dies." "Shut up, Dante! We can do this." Cambramon and Piddomon float up into the sky. Cambramon creates a small platform that resembles a stage. She also conjures up several spotlights around the fortress aiming at the duo. "What is the meaning of this?" Azetramon flaps her wings, sending a vicious psychic wave down towards the duo, as well as the group. Cambramon summons an energy mirror, reflecting part of the attack back towards the Goddess and shielding Piddomon and herself. Some of the others are hit by the tail end of the blast for minor damage. "Now's our chance. Let's give it everything we've got!"Like a PrayerPiddomon and Cambramon start to sing, using the staff as a microphone. "Life is a mystery. Everyone must stand alone." "I hear you call my name, and it feels like home." The group watches on from the ground. "Uh, what the hell are they doing?" Revan facepalms. "And to think, I could have died peacefully without hearing Piddomon sing again." Magic energy starts to spiral around the stage. "When you call my name, it's like a little prayer." "I'm down on my knees, I wanna take you there." The aura of energy starts to turn gold, and it is channeled towards Azetramon. The Goddess tries to fly away, but the magic from the staff greatly slows her down, slowly dragging her lower. "What sorcery is this?! You think a pathetic song is enough to defeat my power? Oh Goddess, make it stop!" Gunner looks up from the ground, still clinging to life. "My mistress, you can't let this be the end. Everything we've worked for, only you can save both worlds from human corruption."The duo continues to sing. "I hear your voice. It's like an angel sighing. I have no choice, I hear your voice. Feels like flying." "I close my eyes. Oh God(dess) I think I'm falling, out of the sky, I close my eyes. Heaven help me!" "I can't believe it." "Yes, Piddomon is actually doing something useful!" Lilithmon is pleased to see her long time rival succumbing to their duet. "That's right, you wretched she-devil! Feel the power of true love!" "It's like a dream, no end and no beginning." "You're here with me, it's like a dream. Let the choir sing!"Azetramon continues to fly lower and lower to the ground. She struggles to move of her own will, but the magic is too strong. "Argh, this can't be happening! I am Azetramon, the strongest of all Goddesses! No one can defeat me! Curse you!" "She's vulnerable. Now's our chance! Hit her with everything you've got!" With any luck, their combined power will be enough to destroy Azetramon.

Well, this was getting pretty absurd, but Piddomon and Cambramon were putting on a performance for the dragon. This seemed to be using some form of enchantment, and visibly weakening the monstrous creature, despite how weak the two were before. This must be be the potential Ban had sensed within Piddomon. Enough thinking now, he decided, as he activated his thrusters, and spun in place, flying diagonally away from azetramon, until he was level with her draconic face, where he turned off his jets and pivoted mid-air, before reactivating his jets, and rocketing himself towards his foe. For a moment, time seemed to slow as the two made eye contact. "Give us back our employees." He ordered, simply referring to Gazimon and his coworkers, before slamming her face with Gunner's hammer, before continuing down the length of her body, swinging the hammer wildly, tossing it between his fists as he struck. He was quiet, for the most part, only emitting mild grunting noises, before he ran out of energy in his gauntlets, and fell to the ground. He stood, listening, not wasting energy by looking, as if their combined efforts weren't enough, he would have to go beyond. Though, he was tired from the whole day of fighting, so he wasn't about to do it, carelessly, he needed to know if he needed to do so, before acting.

This was unexpected just when Katsura was about fall back into herself Piddomon proved to her that there were still hope, even if Azetramon was not worth her compassion. Katsura lightened up a bit, much to the delight of her partner Nyao. Katsura even managed to make a tiny smile after seeing Piddomon demonstrating the true and holy power of his staff, Nyao likewise made a nod to show her approval. Katsura heard that to get the true power of Piddomon's staff, you'll need to focus on your love to Piedmon. Katsura took a deep breath and conjured her mental image of the misunderstood performer, claiming to be a evil tyran but in reality only wanted the best for his friends and loved ones. The Piedmon willing to take in an allegedly useless angel and ultimately sacrifice his life. These memories sparked a warm feeling inside Katsura, she couldn't explain it but somehow she knew this was what Piddomon wanted of her.
What happened next was an epic musical duet between Piddomon and Cambramon. That made Katsura return to the self Willis had seen. "This, this is why I love the digital world." "Heh, I knew you had it in you." "Nyao! Look!"
Katsura pointed at Azetramon who was forced by the magic of Piddomon to land. Causing Nyao to stretch out preparing for one devastating strike this time there was a mysterious sync between Katsura and Nyao, almost as if they were one entity. That's why when Dante signaled that the now grounded Azetramon was vulnerable, they both nodded in perfect unison.
Nyao ran up to Azetramon, once close she turned into a tornado again, spinning right towards and maybe through the body of Azetramon. Trying to turn her into a salami.

With Piddomon and Cambramon's paralyzing performance, Azetramon was left open for the group to finish her off. Oujamon flies up in the air, and unleashes a series of strikes with Gunner's hammer down the dragon's exposed belly. Katsura returned to her normal demeanor, and embraced her compassion for Piedmon. Nyao starts spinning around rapidly forming a tornado and charges right towards the Mistress. Nyao slashes right through the dark beast, and Azetramon's body can no longer contain the data she has absorbed. Energy starts flying out of her body. Several Digimon that formerly worked for Phelesmon reappear next to the battleground. Energy continues to soar across the sky, returning the data to various places the Digimon were when they were unfortunate enough to cross Azetramon's path.
Gazimon reappears laying on the ground, still low on energy after the Mistress used up so much energy she had stolen during the fight. "Uhh, where am I?" Revan slowly makes his way over to Gazimon. "Welcome back. You probably won't believe it, but Azetramon absorbed your data. Good to have you back." "Wha? That cruel witch absorbed me?" "Yes. Also, our boss Piedmon is no more." Cambramon and Piddomon finish their duet, and the platform lowers down. Cambramon gives the angel a big hug, but squeezes him too tight. "We really did it, Piddomon! That was amazing!" "Ah! Somebody get this girl off of me!"
Azetramon lays on the ground, her appearance reverting back to a distorted version of her regular form. Parts of her body start to fade in and out of reality. She struggles to breathe in. "Bah, ha, ha... Nooooo... I was going to destroy you all. My power, it's gone. This can't be happening, I was going to usher in a utopia. I would have ruled with divine supremacy." Dante and Lilithmon approach the Goddess. "Let that be a lesson to you, Azetra. You shouldn't reach for the whole apple. Just a slice." "Don't you patronize me, Lilith! You could never match my power. I was always the strongest Goddess. You only succeeded because of the Dark Triad." "You're right. I had allies. People that I cared about. You are incapable of caring about others. You can't force people to accept your beliefs. You just have to let things work themselves out. Life is about survival. No divine intervention is going to change that. Part of me grieves to see another of our kind fall. I understand why you believe what you do, but there is simply no place for the likes of you, either in the Digital World, or the Hooman World."
"Dante... you believed in my cause, right?" "In theory? Yes. In execution? No. I cannot justify such inexcusable evil even for a righteous cause. But my love and my admiration for you will always remain." "This isn't over. My work is not done. There are still others out there that seek power. You have won the battle, but lost the war. If I could not shape the world as I see fit, I would rather be dead." Gunner hears his Mistress dying, and struggles to sit up. He drags himself along the ground to be close to Azetramon. "My Mistress, I cannot stand to lose you." "Goodbye, Gunner. My love for you is as strong as my hate for this world." Gunner reaches out and holds Azetramon's hand. The Goddess's eyes turn white as her data fades like dust in the wind.
It was finished. The Mistress has been defeated. For whatever reason they had for being there, allies, enemies, friends, associates, and romantic rivals had come together to defeat a great evil. The only thing remaining of the Mistress is a small violet jewel on a gold necklace. Dante reaches down and picks up the jewel. "Strange. Is this some kind of magic item?" "Every Goddess has an item of great importance to them. I have my grimoire. That jewel might have been the source of her psychic powers." "Neat. What do we do about Gunner?" "Let's worry about saving the Dark Fortress before we deal with the blacksmith."
Sakuyamon struggles to maintain the barrier. Lilithmon takes the jewel of the mistress and heads over to the spirit fox. "Sakuyamon, my magic hasn't returned to me yet. Can you use this to save the fortress?" "Yes, I will try to." Sakuyamon stops maintaining the barrier, and lava starts to surround the area. Sakuyamon taps into the jewel's power, repeating an incantation. Magic energy spirals around the priestess. The Dark Fortress begins to rise out of the lava. Sakuyamon returns the Dark Fortress close to where it was before, placing it along the Cliffs of Chaos far enough away from the lava to stay safe. Cambramon and Piddomon celebrate. "Yay, Kiyoko, yay! We're saved!" "I'm so emotional right now! If only Piedmon could have seen this."
The group has a moment of silence to honor the Prince of Chaos. They gather around the Piedmon doll. Dante thinks back to all the times Piedmon played tricks on him. Lilithmon reflects upon her life with the Dark Triad. Piddomon tries to stop himself from crying. Suddenly a familiar voice can be heard. "And the award for best scene goes to..." _______________________
We are close to the end. How about we finish this rotation, and I will post one more time. Then you can write your last post if you want.

Oujamon stood, it was done. The mistress faded away, making Oujamon drop the hammer, and turn towards the group, "Alright, as long as that's it..." He said, before punching himself in the face, forcing the fusion apart. Ban staggered backwards, as D landed silently on the ground, before the two cracked their necks, (And D stared at Ban, angry his crack might have been drowned out,) and approached the group.
D stared around, his red eye swiveling around to scan the castle, while Ban stared at Lilithmon, for but a moment, but in that moment, his eyes pierced her, again trying to read her, "So... now what?" D pondered, aloud, "We have a castle, two dead mega levels and a small army of-" He was cut off, by a voice, to which Ban closed his eyes, sounding calm, still, "I should have known it was but an illusion." he sighed, peering to see the source of the voice.
D turned, snorting out some cigarette smoke, before he was in the face of whoever spoke, "What's the big idea, huh!? Hiding out so you didn't have to keep fighting, eh!?" He yelled, before sighing, and turning away, "You shouldn't pretend to be dead. You went and got us all worked up for no reason, bastard." He sighed, holding his cigarette between his index and middle fingers, before glancing back, pointing, while still holding it, "Don't you go and lie like that again, you hear me?"

This was it, Azetramon was finally done for and all the innocent digimon she had absorbed was now leaking out of her remaining body. Nyao mostly just stared bored at Azetramon during her dying speech. A powerful Goddess rambling about taking over the world and kill everyone who oppose? Scary and a serious threat. A disgruntled shade of a soon to be dead now powerless entity? Annoying at worst. "So to summarize:
A self loathing waste of potential, a self righteous priestess who thinks she is smarter than she is, the most pathetic angel of all, a delusional side show, a foolish girl who is so weak, she continues to be captured over and over, a mostly useless flower power tramp, a wannabe actor that will never amount to anything, a corrupt wanderer with evil lurking in his heart, an inexperienced assassin with no purpose in life, a fragile young girl who cannot see the world for what it is, and a pawn following Katsura's orders is what you need to take down an all-powerful Goddess. Good to know the next time a spoiled brat stumbles over more than she can chew on."
Nyao used the time while Azetramon was speaking with Lilithmon and Dante to catch her breath from speaking such a long line. Only doing something worthwhile again when Azetramon had said goodbye to Gunner, at that point she started waving away the data of Azetramon. Of to the village of beginnings with her then. Nyao then sent Gunner a threatening glare.
"Why are you still here?" All there was left of Azetramon was a jewel that was likely the source of her psychic powers. Nyao looked at it with disgust, she had no intention of wearing something that symbolized such a foul creature. That being said, she was fine with joining in on the conversation about goddesses and their special items.
"As a Goddess of wisdom and warfare, my sword is sufficient for me." It then appeared that Sakuyamon could use said jewel to move the fortress back to a safe location. Nyao sighed with relief upon learning this. Then someone mentioned Piedmon and both Katsura and Nyao instantly lost all happiness and pride, Nyao took off her helmet. Katsura ran towards Nyao for emotional support, tugging into her and holding her hip.
When they approached the doll of Piedmon to honor his memory and perhaps think of a proper funeral, they heard a familiar voice. Both of them looked towards the voice to find Piedmon alive. "Piedmon! You're alive." Katsura wasted no time to ran after him in a glomp. "I knew you were a good guy."
Nyao handled it a tad more gracefully, after putting on her helmet she walked next to him with an overbearing smile. "Piedmon you son of a bitch, you made us all worried and poor Katsura was devastated." Nyao's punishment for Piedmon's crime was to punch him on the shoulder, not hard not even enough to qualify as a punch buggy. Still Piedmon's reputation as a villain was pretty much destroyed by now, at least according to Katsura.
