Neo Digimon:
Digital War
Episode 18 - Verses the Dark Lieutenant, Panjamon
Chibi-Koushiro walks up. "Hi," he waves. "This series is NOT FOR KIDS. It is
rated R for a reason. It was not arbitrarily assigned. If you are under 18 years
old, and your parents won't let you see a rated R movie-- then you should NOT be
reading this either."
Chibi-Koushiro coughed. "Anyway. The characters are properties of Toei Animation
Inc., Saban Entertainment and others. They are used without consent. Archive is
only borrowing them for an indefinite amount of time.
"Strict Japanese spelling for all names when possible. If an English name for a
digimon or his attack is used and you know what the name is supposed to be in
Japanese-- please tell Archive so it can be corrected."

"Try to run from danger, and it finds you," Hikari said nervously. "We went to
Primary Village, hoping to recover our injuries before having to face Devimon.
However, we led the serpent straight into Eden. Devimon's second-in-command,
Panjamon, and several high level digimon followed us right into the village
after us. Now I face a terror that is probably in my nightmares, a digimon with
the face of Vamdemon."
_________________
"V-Vamdemon...." Hikari breathed, staring in horror at the digimon hovering
before her.
"How would you...." Vamdemon paused and then smiled. He floated down to her and
caressed her cheek. "Oh, it's YOU."
Hikari literally pissed her panties in fright. She backed away from the vampire
digimon, crying out at the top of her lungs, "STAY AWAY!!!"
Vamdemon merely laughed, but was cut off as XV-mon and Stingmon rushed forward
and punched the vampire into a building.
"It's not nice to pick on a girl," Stingmon commented.
Vamdemon floated out of the wrecked building, seemingly unharmed. "And how would
you stop me?"
"Any way we can," Daisuke retorted, moving to protect Hikari. "Take him down!"
"No!" Hikari cried out. "That's Vamdemon!"
Daisuke blinked. "He's is?"
"XV-Laser!" XV-mon cried out, sending forth his attack.
Vamdemon dodged and twisted in time to see Stingmon attempt to use 'Spiking
Finish,' however the vampire digimon grabbed the insectoid's arm and threw him
at XV-mon. Before he could do anything else, electricity ripped through his
being. Vamdemon whipped around and glared daggers at Kabuterimon. "You!" he said
as if he cursed.
"Huh?" Kabuterimon questioned before Vamdemon gripped his face and then forced
the him head first into the ground.
Vamdemon looked around. "Where is your stupid partner..." His toothy grin spread
as he saw his target. "You shall die for what you did to me!"
Koushiro stumbled back as the Vamdemon rushed toward him.
"No so fast!" XV-mon punched Vamdemon, knocking the evil digimon away.
Vamdemon rubbed his chin. "You shall pay for that." He made a fist and called
out, "Crimson Lightning!" A red whip formed from his fist and cracked against
XV-mon's face, sending the draconian digimon tumbling to the ground.
Stingmon rushed forward to attack, but he fell to Vamdemon's crimson whip.
"First I'll kill Koushiro, then I'll take Hikari to where she belongs," Vamdemon
said, standing up.
"How do you know about us?" Daisuke questioned.
"That is not your business!" Vamdemon retorted before lashing out at his whip
toward Daisuke and Hikari.
Daisuke could only dodge the attack.
Hikari screamed, her hands moving to protect her face. "Please no!" she pleaded
as the attack missed her.
"Leave her alone!" Takeru yelled, Patamon flying next to him.
"And what will you do?" Vamdemon cracked his whip again, this time striking
Takeru in the chest. The young boy tumbled to the ground.
Hikari curled up into a ball, sobbing.
"You bastard!" Daisuke howled.
Stingmon tried to stab Vamdemon again, but the vampire grabbed him and used him
to block XV-mon's attack and then kicked the green insect at the blue draconian.
He turned and wrapped his whip around Kabuterimon's neck before the blue insect
could add his attack.
Patamon sighed with relief as Takeru shakily got to his feet. He then turned and
glared in hatred at Vamdemon. He knew he had to stop this demon, and could feel
Takeru was in agreement. He called out, "Patamon evolve!" A pillar of light
encased the flying brown mammal. The pillar faded with a shower of pristine
white feathers and floating in the air was an angel dress in white, blue and
gold with six wings and holding a large golden staff. "Angemon!"
"WHAT?!" Vamdemon cried out in shock.
The others stared in awe of the angel digimon.
"Evil must be purged," Angemon condemned. "Heaven's Knuckle!" The angel punched
the air, sending forth a golden ray that washed over Vamdemon.
Vamdemon screamed in horrendous pain as his body began to delete.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"
Kabuterimon looked at Angemon and then at the towering XV-mon and Stingmon. "I
feel inadequate."
"Was that really Vamdemon?" Daisuke questioned.
Koushiro hobbled over. "I don't think so. I think he was the Bakemon that
disguised himself as Ryo. Otherwise, he'd have no reason to come after me."
Explosions echoed through the village.
"Doesn't matter right now," Daisuke replied. "We've got to help the others now.
Come on!" Daisuke rushed off, followed by XV-mon and Stingmon.
Takeru clutched his chest as he walked over to Hikari. "He's gone, Hikari."
"It wasn't him, but he looked the same. Looked the same...." Hikari mumbled
through her sobs.
"You okay?" Koushiro asked.
"I'm fine," Takeru replied. "Don't know about Hikari."
"We can't leave her alone," Angemon stated. "Evil is all around us."

Mojamon launched himself into the air, only to get frozen solid and his body
shattering upon crashing to the ground. A Drimogemon charged forward, only to be
gutted like a fish. His brother managed to scratch his opponent, but that was it
before a sword was plunged between his eyes.
Panjamon snorted. "Isn't there anyone who's worthy to fight me?" The digital
information of his fallen opponents floating into the air around him.
"I doubt I'm worthy," Yuki Duramon replied.
"You've got that right," Panjamon agreed. "Just give up now."
"I don't think so." Yuki Duramon smirked. "Your ice attacks can't hurt me."
"But my sword can," Panjamon sneered.
"True, but you have to touch me first," Yuki Duramon mocked as he raised his
fists to the air and then slammed them down with all his might. A wall of ice
erupted from the ground.
"And what's that supposed to do?" Panjamon questioned.
"To buy the others time, of course." Yuki Duramon smiled.
"What a joke." Panjamon punched the wall and it cracked.
Yuki Duramon took a couple steps back and punched the ground again to create
another wall. "I can do this all night."
Panjamon glared. He leapt into the air, briefly landing on top of the ice wall
before jumping towards the snow bear digimon, sword ready to kill.
Yuki Duramon encased himself in a protective ice dome, but there was too much
momentum. Panjamon's sword pierced through the dome, breaking it as the lion
digimon crashed though the ice and fell on top of the bear.
Panjamon grinned as he brought his fist down on Yuki Duramon's head with enough
force to make it shatter like a fallen snowball. The evil lion chuckled as he
stood up. "Best fight I had in a long time. Hope the Chosen are better."

Taichi leveled his gaze as he watched Garurumon, Birdramon and Greymon wore down
Phantomon's defenses, making the digimon tired, angry and careless. He had
doubted this was the same Phantomon from the cave that held the Digimental of
Courage, now he was sure of it. This ghost digimon didn't have a clue how to use
the chain on his scythe while the other one they had fought used it as his
primary attack.
The Phantomon blocked another attack from Greymon and tried to counter, but the
had to block attacks from Birdramon and Garurumon.
"We've got to speed this up," Yamato commented. "He's not alone."
An explosion echoed from behind them.
Taichi nodded. "Try to get Garurumon to attack from the right." He pointed to
indicate which right to use. "Sora get Birdramon to attack straight down. I'll
have Greymon go to the left. He won't be able to stop all of our attacks."
Yamato and Sora nodded.
Taichi and Yamato acted first, running to opposite flanks of Phantomon and
calling their digimon to do the same.
"From above," Sora cried out to Birdramon.
Birdramon first looked up, but then realized what Sora meant.
"Attack now!" Taichi screamed when all three digimon were in position.
"Mega Flame!" Greymon spewed forth his fire.
"Fox Fire!" Garurumon scorched the air with his burning breath.
"Meteor Wing!" Birdramon rained down destruction.
Phantomon tried to block Greymon's giant fireball, but failed to block all of it
as the other two attacks hit him as well. He fell backwards using his scythe to
support himself. His ghost body burnt in several places.
"Finish him!" Taichi ordered.
Once again the three digimon let loss their attacks, and Phantomon was too weak
to offer any defense. He exploded into data.
"Got him! Sora cheered.
"That was too easy," Taichi muttered to himself, before calling out, "Come on
guys, we aren't done yet!"

"Whoa. Mirror match," Mimi observed as whatever attack Monzaemon attempt, Waru
Monzaemon would counter with the exact opposite attack, and vice versa. The
fight had gone on for a few minutes, and neither seemed to be gaining the upper
hand.
"Are you sure you don't want help?" Togemon questioned, again.
"Stay out of this!" both Monzaemon hissed at her.
"Right, I'll just protect the babies," Togemon mumbled to herself.
Elecmon whimpered next to her. He wanted some means to stop them. While stronger
than most of his kind, he still had little chance to stand up to a Perfection
digimon. He then noticed something occurring in the nearby field. "Someone
already died in battle," he observed seeing a new digi-tama form.
"Would that be the first one tonight?"
"Well, yes," Elecmon replied before realize he didn't know who asked that. He
turned and saw Panjamon walk over to the freshly formed egg. His eyes widened in
shock. "What are you doing?"
Panjamon picked up the egg and tossed it a few times. "Simple, I making sure
Unimon never bothers me again." He then crushed the egg in his mighty hand.
"He'll never be reborn!" Elecmon cried in horror.
"That was the idea," Panjamon sneered.
Mimi had heard every word. She seethed in anger. "Togemon!"
"He's dead meat," Togemon vowed. She rushed forward, trying to punch him in the
face with all her might. However, he dodged and twisted as she continued to try
to punch him silly.
"Not bad," Panjamon taunted. "But you really need to work your legs." He dropped
his upper body to the ground while kicking up on of his feet, hitting Togemon
right in the face.
Togemon sprawled to the ground, very pissed off.
"Gattling Missile!"
Panjamon jumped out of the way of the attack, and remarked, "Thanks for the
warning." He spotted Andromon supporting himself against one of the buildings,
and sent a freezing punch in his direction.
Andromon sprawled to the ground as the icy attack froze the building next to
him.
"Stay down," Panjamon ordered as he tried to freeze Andromon again, however
Miyako riding Holsmon swooped down to pulled him out of the way.
Panjamon then felt a sharp pain as Togemon punched him in the jaw, however he
didn't fall down like she expected. Instead he used his freezing punch at point
blank range, right into her face.
Togemon bounced once off the ground before de-evolving into Palmon. Mimi ran to
carefully cradle her partner, but her enemy loomed above her.
"Red Sun!" Holsmon attacked, trying to drive Panjamon away from Mimi.
Panjamon scowled darkly, knowing he would have to get Holsmon to move in closer
if he wanted to score a solid hit. He bent down to grab Mimi to be his lure and
to be a shield against the flying digimon since he wouldn't attack with the risk
of hitting her. However, when his hand touched Mimi's digivice, it burned him
and he stumbled away while growling, "What trickery?"
Mimi noticed that he digivice was glowing, and guessed that had been what hurt
Panjamon. Being upset over what Panjamon had done, she took her digivice and
slammed it down on his foot as hard as she could.
Panjamon yelped in pain and hopped several meters away from her. "I won't be
defeated by a toy," he hissed. He reared back to freeze Mimi where she stood.
The attack from Holsmon wasn't enough to stop him, but being tackled by Stingmon
and XV-mon sent the humanoid lion flying.
"What's with bad digimon picking on girls," Stingmon commented.
"Probably upset that they can't get any," Daisuke quipped.
Panjamon growled in angry fury. He rushed toward Stingmon, shoving his sword
into the insectoid digimon's shoulder and pining him to a building. Then he
whipped around kicking XV-mon in the stomach. He continued to unleash a series
of furious combination of punches and kicks that left XV-mon flat on the ground.
He prepared to finish off the draconian with his ice punch when flames erupted
around him.
"Thanks for the save," Daisuke called out.
"No prob.," Taichi returned. He could see the battle between Monzaemon and Waru
Monzaemon going on in the background, but that fight seemed to be well in hand.
Panjamon, however, apparently had taken out Stingmon, XV-mon, and Togemon.
Panjamon rose from his fire bath despite his pain. He dashed toward Greymon who
was far too slow to dodge the onslaught of punches and kicks inflicted on him.
However, that left his back open as Garurumon pounced, biting hard into the
lion's shoulder. Panjamon grabbed the wolf digimon, flipping and slamming him
into Greymon.
This gave Birdramon and Holsmon the room they needed, and launched their
airborne attacks. However, Panjamon grabbed Greymon and hoisted him in the air
to block all the damage.
Daisuke clenched his fists. "He's beating us senseless. The Vamdemon we just
fought wasn't this tough."
"Vamdemon?!" Taichi questioned.
"Yeah. He freaked out your sister and hurt Takeru, but he died easily enough,"
Daisuke replied. "Koushiro thinks that Vamdemon was the Bakemon he fought,
evolved."
Taichi gritted his teeth. "There's got to be a way to stop him." He then
flinched as Panjamon threw Greymon into a building and tossed Garurumon at
Birdramon, knocking her out of the air.
Holsmon tried to attack, but had to dodge as Panjamon attacked with freezing
punches.
Sora blinked as she saw Mimi stomp towards Panjamon, and then screamed, "Mimi,
get away from him!"
Panjamon turned to look at her, but was too late as she punched his shin with
her digivice.
Everyone stared in surprised as Panjamon cried out in pain and backed away from
Mimi, who continued to advance on him as if she was the hunter.
"Her digivice is able to hurt him," Elecmon answered their unspoken question.
Taichi grabbed his digivice and looked at Yamato and Daisuke. "Care to give it a
try?"
"This is crazy," Yamato commented, but pulled out his digivice anyway.
"Count me in," Sora added.
Panjamon tried to attack Mimi, to stop her from using her digivice on him.
However each time he moved to hit her, another digimon would attack him and gave
the girl the opportunity to hurt him. He had unwittingly backed himself against
a building, staring down five children each holding out their digivices. He made
one more attempt to kill them, but the now recovered XV-mon hit the lion digimon
with his laser attack, slamming Panjamon against the building.
The five children didn't know how their digivices hurt Panjamon as they touched
him with them, and quite frankly didn't care. Their digivices glowed brilliantly
as the lion howled in pain. His eyes looked up in horror as he saw Angemon fly
toward him and used Heaven's Knuckle, aimed straight for his head.
A blinding light flashed from Panjamon's body, and everyone instinctively
protected their eyes. When it faded, the gray furred humanoid lion gave way to a
much smaller yellowish-orange furred version, who fell bonelessly to the ground.
"What happened to him?" Mimi questioned.
Greymon stared at the fallen digimon in shock. "That's Leomon! You freed him."
"He is?" Daisuke questioned.
Taichi turned to see if he could find Hikari, but saw no sign of her, Takeru,
Koushiro, Kuro, Tentomon or Patamon. Unless the angel digimon was one of them.
He then looked over and saw the end of the Monzaemon battle.
Waru Monzaemon had been looking in Panjamon's direction when he de-evolved,
momentarily blinding him. Monzaemon wasted no time in exploiting that, slamming
the tattered bear to the ground and holding him there. The big yellow teddy-bear
then fired his Hearts Attack, right into Waru Monzaemon's back.
Waru Monzaemon couldn't help but feel happy from Monzaemon's hearts. Those good
feelings somehow destroyed the black gears inside him, causing him to de-evolve
into a Numemon.
"You mean the Monzaemon evolve from those icky Numemon?!" Mimi called out in
surprise. "Ew."
"There's nothing wrong about Numemon," Monzaemon huffed.
"Is that all of them?" Daisuke questioned.
"It appears that way," Angemon replied. "I still sense evil around us, but it's
not in the village."
"So we've got a moment to recoup." Taichi sighed, his adrenaline rush from
battle subsiding. "Has anyone seen Hikari and the others?"
"They should be coming from that way," Angemon answered, pointing with his
staff.
Taichi gave another sigh, but this one was in relief as he saw Kuro guiding
Hikari towards them with Kabuterimon carrying Takeru and Koushiro.
"W-wha-what have I done?" came a mumbled growl.
The Chosen and most of the digimon turned nervously toward Leomon.
The lion digimon was staring at his hands, and was crying. "How could I have
done those things? I-I-I killed so many digimon... Why? Why did I do that?!"
Before any of them could think of something to say, a stream of energy spikes
streaked from the sky, piercing Leomon's body and killing him.
Everyone immediate tensed up, trying to spot who had killed him when they heard
a mocking voice call from the air, "His usefulness was at an end. With Primary
Village, I can create an army of loyal troops that will only obey me."
"Over my dead body!" Elecmon yelled back.
"Granted. Nail Bone." More energy spikes rained from the sky, removing Elecmon
from existence.
"Devimon," Kuro said as if he cursed.
"Close." The night sky seemed to darken as giant form with black wings attached
to red and black skeleton holding an evil looking staff. He gloated haughtily,
"I WAS Devimon, but I have evolved! You can't stand against the perfected might
of Skull Satamon!"
_________________
Author's Notes:
Next: Episode 19 - Battle for File Island
Devimon finally reveals himself as Skull Satamon, but can the Chosen defeat him
when he sets the battle to his own rules?
Tahnks to Icer 757 for pointing out a couple grammar errors.
Yes, the Vamdemon was the Ryo-Bakemon evolved. How he knows what he does will
get explained in full later. You didn't honestly think I'd make the
Odaiba-Vamdemon that easily killed.
The more experience a digimon is with their body and powers, the stronger they
are. Ryo-Bakemon/Vamdemon had only been evolved for days, while Panjamon had
been around for at least a year Digital World time. The Odaiba-Vamdemon has held
his form for several years, and fully knows the powers of his form.
"OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE! OMAKE!"
shouts the entire chibi-Chosen as they prance around File Island.
Chibi-Daisuke tries to sneak a skirt peak of what's under chibi-Mimi's school
dress. A tail whips out from her skirt, wraps around his neck, and draws him in.
Chibi-Mimi makes a strange face and chibi-Daisuke is suddenly thrown out of her
skirt by the tail. He looks like he had been beaten into a bloody pulp.
The remaining chibi-Chosen continue the mantra until they start climbing up
Infinity Mountain. Chibi-Hikari falls off and her skirt lifts up showing a
picture of a broken heart on her white panties.
"Now for a little extra," chibi-Hikari moans.
------------------
"Welcome back to 'Whose Line is it Anyway' - Digimon style," Referee announced.
"To recap our guests, we have Bobby from Lord Archive's Diaries series."
Bobby waved, a blond America boy of fourteen who was dressed in torn jeans and a
new T-shirt with 'Shameless Plug: Read War Diaries Entry 13' written on it.
"Hirokazu, or 'Kazu' to you North American viewer, to represent the Digimon
Tamers," Referee continued. "Also we have Armadimon for Adventures Zero-Two,
and...." Referee looked over to make sure who was there. "And Gomamon
representing Adventures Zero-One."
"Now for movie scenes," Referee stated. "This will be for Hirokazu and Bobby
first. They'll come up and act out a scene using film various film genres. As we
don't have a live audience, I'll have to come up with them as we go. The scene
will be acting IS: Bobby is here to fix Hirokazu's computer. The round begins
NOW!"
Bobby hiked up his pants to the point of nearly giving himself a wedgy. In a
nasally voice he asked, "What seems to be the problem?"
"It doesn't do anything!" Hirokazu replied frantically.
Bobby sat down and started pressing the same button over and over again. "It
looks dead."
Hirokazu peered over and slapped his forehead. "I forgot to plug it in."
BUZZ
"Tragedy," Referee announced.
"I'll just plug it in," Hirokazu stated and inserted the plug.
Bobby moved ever so slowly. "Nooooo Dooooon't"
Hirokazu mimed plugging the computer and then spasmed as if he was being
electrocuted.
Bobby kneeled down next to him. "Oh, dear God he's dead! And he was the greatest
chemist to live. Now the virus will run rampant and destroy humanity.
BUZZ
"I said tragedy, not B-movies. Now Romance," Referee intoned.
Bobby stroked Hirokazu's face and spoke dearly, "Oh, my beloved. If only you had
recognized that was the air-condition plug you were trying to plug the computer
into."
Bobby stood up, with a hand to his forehead. "How shall I go on without your
cheerful smile. Your sardonic wit. How can I stand having lonely nights without
you forceful touch from behind!"
BUZZ
"Horror," Referee called out.
Bobby acted as if he was sobbing.
Hirokazu shambled to his feet.
Bobby noticed and jumped back. "Beloved, you're alive!"
Hirokazu grinned sickly. "Meat. Flesh. Yummy."
"I wouldn't think you'd be so horny after dying," Bobby edged away.
Hirokazu jumped forward and latched onto Bobby's arm, slobbering all over it as
he 'bit' into it.
"You're not my beloved 'Kazu!" Bobby jerked his arm away, holding his 'wounded'
arm defensively.
"Food!" Hirokazu lurched forward menacingly.
Bobby screamed like a little girl and ran around the stage.
BUZZ
"That's all for you two," Referee stated. "Bobby has lost points from straying
off genres, while Hirokazu gets extra points for being a convincing stiff. Now
stay tuned for the next Digital War episode, where it'll be Tento... er, I mean
Gomamon and Armadimon's turn at theater styles."
