"DRACOMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO... BREAKDRAMON!!"
THUD!! Breakdramon's heavy body landed on the grass of the forest with a strong thud that shook the land around him. Silphymon, Lily, and Lopmon all looked up at Dracomon's unfamiliar new form in wide eyed disbelief and horror. Breakdramon was massive, towering over all the trees in the forest, to the point where his massive height and body nearly looked like a skyscraper.
"Whoa..." Taeka stared up at Breakdramon with a wide eyed look as well, before a creepy smile formed on her face, the dark aura still emanating around her body. "A new evolution, huh...? Heheh, interesting. This is different, but atleast your powers are back. Now, Breakdramon... KILL HIM! DESTROY DOCTOR X!!"
"...TAZER STRIKE!!" Breakdramon fired a giant drill right at Doctor X, the drill completely cutting off one of Doctor X's limbs. This caused Doctor X to stumble back a lot, nearly falling over as he let out a horrible, high pitched squeal of agony.
Stomp...Stomp...Stomp...
Suddenly a bunch of rapid stomping noises was heard... As four Fangmon suddenly came into view. The Fangmon all took a step away from Breakdramon, baring their fangs as they all growled at Doctor X... Quickly then lunging at and biting him.
"Fangmon...? Wh-where'd they come from?" Lopmon asks.
"They must be trying to help us..." Silphymon says, pausing as he looked up at Breakdramon. "But..."
"UGH, FUCK OFF YOU STUPID FANGMON!! THIS IS MY BATTLE!!" Taeka screamed, her voice low and filled with a type of fury that no one had ever heard from her before. Breakdramon then grabbed and lifted Doctor X slightly up into the air, shaking all the Fangmon off of him as they plopped onto the ground...
"...GRAVITY CRUSH!!" Breakdramon then stomped onto one of Fangmon... Completely poofing it to dust.
"Hey!!" Suddenly everyone could hear Axel's voice, seeing him and ExTyrannomon run into view. The two of them looked up at Breakdramon, eyes widening in shock. "Wh-what's happening here?!" Axel asked.
"I can't believe this is happening..." Silphymon muttered. "I should have seen this sooner..."
"Seen what?! Wh-what are you talking about?" Lily asked, her voice straining with fear.
"That dark energy I've been sensing this whole time... It's been coming from Taeka, not Doctor X." Silphymon says.
"WHAT?! H-how..."
"When we were walking in the forest alone together, I... I started sensing that dark energy." Silphymon says, his voice low and serious. "I brushed it off at first, because I didn't wanna believe it, but now..."
"No way... H-how is this even possible?!" Lily panics.
"GRAVITY CRUSH!!" Breakdramon stomps two more of the Fangmon at the same poofing them to dust at well. He then looked down at the last Fangmon standing...
"TAZER STRIKE!!" And quickly attacked and killed the last one. Breakdramon's head slowly then turned to face Doctor X once more, who stepped back a few steps... However...
"GRAVITY CRUSH!!" Breakdramon quickly stomped on Doctor X, immediately killing him on impact, turning his body into nothing but a mushy pile of flesh and blood. Everyone looked up at Breakdramon in complete horror, as he lifted his foot up slightly, wiping the blood and guts off on the grass, smearing it everywhere.
"Oh god..." Lily was starting to feel nauseous at this sight, clutching her stomach and looking away as she held back the urge to throw up.
"Taeka please, y-you and Breakdramon need to calm down now..." Silphymon spoke in a stern, yet nervous tone. "Doctor X is taken care of now... Please, just..."
"SHUT UP, SILPHYMON!! YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!" Taeka furiously screeched back, cutting Silphymon off. "I'm the hero here... Not you... I KNOW MORE THAN YOU!!"
"RAAAAAAAAGHHH!!" Breakdramon let out an ear piercing roar, angrily and repeatedly stomping the ground, causing it to shake...
"RAPID FIRE!!" But Breakdramon stopped when an attack hit him out of nowhere, Rapidmon flying into view. Breakdramon let out a low growl and glared at Rapidmon, trying to attack him as Rapidmon quickly dodged. Jake and Doctimon quickly then ran up to everyone. The two quickly noticed the dark aura around Taeka, both looking pretty shocked as they took a step back. "Wh-what's wrong with Taeka?!" Jake nervously asked.
"I don't know exactly, but it's incredibly dangerous to have her acting like this..." Silphymon says, looking up at Breakdramon. "If she doesn't snap out of this soon, Breakdramon could end up destroying the whole forest." He paused, looking out at the tall, faraway buildings of the city in the distance. "Or even worse..."
"Taeka, please... You have to snap out of this!!" Lily pleaded, but was still ignored by Lily.
"Maybe we could try and weaken Breakdramon...?" ExTyrannomon says, preparing an attack. "Let's see... BLACK MATTER!!"
ExTyrannomon attacked, but the attacked bounced off of Breakdramon's metal body, Breakdramon only glaring down at ExTyrannomon in response.
"All that's gonna do is just anger him even more..." Silphymon grunted. "Unless somebody digivolves to the mega level, nobody stands a chance against him..."
"Taeka please, look at what you're doing! Look at what Breakdramon is doing!!" Lily's voice strained with pure fear and distress, Lily starting to feel tears welling up in her eyes. "STOP THIS! PLEASE!!"
"HAHAHAHA!! NOBODY CAN STOP ME!!" Taeka cackled loudly, barely even glancing in Lily's direction. Quickly then, anger starting well up in Lily, as she walked right up to Taeka...
WHAP!! And roughly slapped her in the face. Everyone gasped in shock at this sudden motion, as the maneuver quickly caused the dark aura around Taeka to dissipate within seconds, like it was never there. Taeka slowly turned her head back to face everyone, blinking as she rubbed her cheek with a completely baffled look.
"Wha... What the? What is going on?" Taeka muttered in confusion, looking up at Breakdramon as her eyes went wide, nearly stumbling back in fear. "What the hell? Who is that?!" Taeka then paused, looking around in a panicked frenzy. "Wh-where's Dracomon?!"
"That is Dracomon..." Lily muttered, Taeka gasping as her eyes darted back and forth between Lily and Dracomon, nearly falling over as she stumbled backwards again. "WHAT?! H-how is that possible?!" Taeka snapped.
"You tell me, Taeka! You're the one that caused him to Digivolve into this!" Lily snaps back.
"That can't be possible, I... I don't remember doing that!" Taeka's breathing started slowly becoming more rapid, her gaze darting between Breakdramon and the ground as one hand rustled through her hair in a panic.
"Taeka, do you remember anything weird happening to you?" Lily asks. "Lily any kind of dark energy or force corrupting you?"
"N-no, I... I don't know, I just... I-I feel like I've blacked out or something..." Taeka stuttered, her nervous energy only getting worse, to the point where it was increasingly getting more difficult to think clearly. "I don't remember a single thing that just happened!!"
"That dark energy... It didn't come from anything. It's been inside of you this whole time, Taeka. Deep inside your mind." Silphymon states, Taeka shaking her head in disbelief. "Wh-what? No, that's not true..." Taeka whimpers.
"TAZER STRIKE!!" Breakdramon quickly attacks Rapidmon, causing him to revert back to Terriermon, also knocking ExTyrannomon to the ground roughly as well. Axel and Jake both ran over to their partners to help them out, Lopmon glaring up at Breakdramon.
"Urgh... We don't have a choice here, anymore..." Lopmon huffed. "I'm gonna have to fight you, Breakdramon."
"LOPMON WARP DIGIVOLVE TO...
..."
