"How do you plan on saving him?" Cyberdramon sneered as he spread his arms. "Go ahead, attack me... Monodramon will feel the pain as much as I will. Do you really want to risk deleting him alongside me?"
"I don't have to," Spyromon said confidently. He raised his right arm and revealed a blue bracelet wrapped around his wrist.
"What's that?" Kitsunemon wondered. "Another bracelet of water resistance? That would be useful when Cyberdramon spits at us..."
Spyromon smirked. "Watch... DIGITAL LASSO!"
And the same lasso that usually came out of his D-Power came flying out of the bracelet, flying directly into Cyberdramon's direction, wrapping itself tightly around his forearms and neck.
"What's the point of doing that?" Cyberdramon grunted. "I'm gonna be free from this thing in no time. This lasso constricts me as much as a... rubber band... would...? What the...? What's going on?" he yelled as he tried even harder to free himself against the lasso. "Why can't I break free?"
"Struggle as much as you want, you won't get away this easily. The lasso is amplified by my Hybrid powers, and since the D-Power is syntonized to Cyberdramon's digital field, it works even better against you. You wanted me to be your Tamer? Fine, I'm taming you! Stop struggling and surrender!"
Brawlmon whistled. "Nice move, Ryo! So, you really got him under your control?"
"You bet I do!" Spyromon said. "He won't be able to do anything unless I order him to do it and... wait a minute..." He tried holding on to the lasso, but the pull coming from Cyberdramon was increasing by the second. "Something's wrong here... why are you getting stronger?"
Kitsunemon groaned. "I knew it was too easy..."
"You fools!" Millenniummon's voice roared as he started to grow in size. "Ryo, do you really believe you can control me like that because I am in possession of Cyberdramon's body? I am something grander and better than both Cyberdramon or Monodramon... I am MILLENNIUMMON!"
By now, Cyberdramon's head nearly touched the ceiling, and Spyromon practically dangled at the end of the strained lasso. Using his wings, the dragon Hybrid tried very hard to pull the titanic Digimon to his knees, but he was just too strong.
"I can't hold him any longer!" he gasped. "Everyone, attack him, now!"
"FLARE BLASTER!"
"RISING DRAGON PUNCH!"
"SPIKING STRIKE!"
"USELESS!" Cyberdramon roared as the attacks bounced off harmlessly. He tensed his muscles and with one sudden movement of his arms, he broke free from the digital lasso. It instantly vanished back in Spyromon's bracelet.
And then... Cyberdramon started glowing in a dark, ominous aura...
"CYBERDRAMON DIGIVOLVE TO... MONOMILLENNIUMMON!"
Cyberdramon's body began to swell. His powerful, but sleek legs turned into a pair of massive, pillar-like legs that ended in mechanical claws. His arms elongated, became more mechanical in appearance and grew wicked claws as well. His head looked like that of a Kimeramon who put on a Machinedramon-shaped helmet. Two huge machineguns were attached to his shoulders, and his whole stance was hunched over. In the middle of his techno-organic chest, a huge hole was visible, resembling both an exhaust pipe and a gaping wound. Red blood and black oil were seeping down to the floor. The hole was covered with a strong grate, and behind it, Monodramon's tiny body was visible, attached to MonoMillenniummon's insides with slimy tendrils and tentacles. It actually looked like he was growing out of the organic material that surrounded him.
"RYO!" he shouted and tried getting free from the tendrils that were holding him. "HELP ME!"
"MONODRAMON!" Spyromon shouted. "Damn, what do you want with him?"
"I need him as part of me... but at the same time, as my prisoner," MonoMillenniummon spoke in a rumbling voice. "You WILL be my Tamer Ryo, it is destiny! And all those who stand in our way will be DESTROYED!"
He spread his ridiculously long arms until they nearly touched both ends of the cavern. Black electricity and flashes of purple were dancing around them, until they got concentrated in the middle of his claws.
"VIRAL STREAM!" The streams of dark thunder and evil light came pouring out of his hands, engulfing Kitsunemon, Brawlmon and Stingmon. They cried out as unbelievable pain was surging through their bodies.
"Can't... stand... the pain..." Kitsunemon winced as she slowly collapsed to the ground. Her sister and Stingmon followed quickly.
"This is... too much..." Brawlmon gasped.
"I... have failed..." Stingmon muttered weakly. "Forgive me, mother... father..."
"FIRE FRISBEE!" Spyromon shouted, and two spinning disks of fire appeared in his hands. He threw each of them at one of MonoMillenniummon's claws, where they exploded. MonoMillenniummon didn't really feel anything, but he must have witnessed Ryo's attempt, as he chuckled and ceased sending destructive energy into the direction of his friends.
"It is kinda amusing, Ryo... you still struggle to save your friends? Why, I ask you? I am all you need. I am perfection... I am the ultimate Digimon... I can make all your wishes come true!"
"That... that's not true..." Monodramon winced from inside his prison. "Because Ryo's wishes would never be fulfilled if his friends are gone. They are giving him his strength... and his resolution!"
"I can give him ALL the power in the universe!" MonoMillenniummon roared, and Monodramon cried out in pain when his small body got electrocuted. "Friendships may end... and friends can die... but when Ryo follows me, we will live FOREVER!"
"Thanks, but no thanks!" Spyromon grumbled. "I prefer my old life and my old friends, but you... you can disappear! Forever!"
"Behold the power I possess!" the colossal behemoth bellowed. "And say once again that I would ever disappear... ridiculous! My power is endless, and I am your perfect partner... if you don't want to accept that, I will have to free you from your bond to your friends." And he once again charged up energy in his claws.
"No, don't!" Spyromon yelled. "Fire Frisbee!" But once again, his attack failed.
Monodramon gritted his teeth. "R-ryo, I'm trying to stop the energy flow from within, but... the power flowing through his veins... they are too much for me to handle! I can't do this... I need your strength!"
"What could I do?" Spyromon whispered as he sunk down to his knees and stared at his clawed hands. "I am just a Rookie... and Millenniummon is too powerful. If only we could digivolve..."
But then, out of nowhere, something flashed through his mind... something that was buried in there, a knowledge which came with the digital DNA in his blood... a knowledge that his mother had given him during his birth."
Spyromon got up from the ground. "We are children of destiny," he said. "Champions of the Digital World AND the human world, warriors with blood from both worlds running through our veins... and we ALWAYS have the ability to stop evil creatures like you... BECAUSE WE ARE THE HEROES!"
And with a sudden burst of speed, he threw himself directly into the way of MonoMillenniummon's blast.
"You fool!" the towering beast roared. "Do you want to kill yourself?"
Spyromon screamed as the evil energy surged through his body, making his wings twitch and his tail thrash around. But, at the same time, lines of digital energy were appearing along his body and limbs, making him glow like a neon lamp.
"What... what is that?" MonoMillenniummon murmured. "This energy... I've never felt anything like it before."
Spyromon stumbled forward and fell down to his hands and knees. He panted hardly. The beam that hit him had been devastating, and he was barely able to stay conscious. Only the thought of his imprisoned partner was keeping him up. "M-monodramon..."
"Ryo, hang in there..." Monodramon whispered.
And then, a glowing item came flying through the air.
"Ryo! Catch!"
Spyromon was able to catch the item in spite of his weak state. He looked at the item which looked like a green-glowing computer chip.
"What... what's that?" he murmured.
"A Healing Chip!" Brawlmon shouted. "Rika bought it back at the village... use it to regain your energy. We always need powerful healing items for difficult boss battles."
Ryo pressed the Healing Chip to his chest, and it melted down to a green glowing puddle of goop that got absorbed by his body. At the same time, all of his wounds were healing.
He stood up again, and the data streams running along his body were still making him glow.
"I take it you never have played an RPG before, Millenniummon?" he asked while stretching out his arms. "This is Limit Break Energy... digital energy that fills our bodies whenever we are hurt. And since your Viral Stream was a pretty devastating attack, it filled my body with huge amounts of Limit Break Energy... enough that I can supply my friends with it." Little spheres of light detached themselves from his body and flew over to Kitsunemon and Brawlmon.
"Whatever you did, it will never be enough to defeat me!" MonoMillenniummon snarled. "You are just mere Rookies and Champions!"
"Well, then I guess it's time to change that, isn't it?" Spyromon and his friends closed their eyes.
"KITSUNEMON DIGIVOLVE TO... SORCERESSMON!"
"BRAWLMON DIGIVOLVE TO... AURARENAMON!"
"SPYROMON DIGIVOLVE TO... EXCALIMON!"
Three new Digimon Heroes were standing in front of MonoMillenniummon.
Sorceressmon was a tall, shapely woman dressed in blue and white robes. Her beautiful face resembled Rika's and her red hair billowed behind her like waves of fire. She was holding a golden staff that was tipped with an ornate fox head. A golden fox tail was also coming out from her robes.
AuraRenamon looked like a taller, more muscular and fiercer version of Renamon, and her fur was red instead of yellow. She was wearing similar fighting gear as Kitsumon and Brawlmon. A purple-glowing scar resembling a Yin and Yang symbol was in the middle of her stomach just below the shredded, white shirt that covered her ample chest.
Excalimon was a noble dragon warrior with white scales and huge wings spreading behind his back. His body structure resembled Spyromon, only more muscular and mature. He was dressed in a silver armor, resembling that of a European knight from the middle ages. He was holding a curved cutlass in his right hand.
Excalimon pointed his weapon at MonoMillenniummon's form and shouted: "There is always a way for us to win, and do you know why? Because we are the heroes!"
Kei let out a sigh of relief as she slumped down in her chair. "Phew, am I glad I came up with that in the last minute... for a moment, I thought they were goners..."
"You did great, Kei!" HolyCalumon smiled. "Now they don't need BioCalumon's powers to reach their Ultimate Level anymore. But you know, you should try and come up with a reason for how Ryo was able to see all those informations in front of his mental eye... just 'because it was in his blood' isn't quite accurate, and I'm afraid Bio might use any plot hole to his advantage."
"You're right, I'm working on something," Kei nodded. "But let's make sure that our friends can win the fight and save Monodramon first."
