Chapter 80: Two Digimon, Different Destinies
“Is…is the camera rolling? OH! OK! This is Scarlet Overseer of Canterlot News reporting from an airship! The black shield that trapped us in here has finally shattered. As you can see, we and the other evacuating airships are rising higher away from Canterlot! Which as we speak has now become a battlefield! Eyewitness stated that a huge demonic creature had risen from the ground and started attacking the city! Many streets now reduced to rubble! There is even an unconfirmed report of a second Twilight Sparkle among those that stayed behind to fend off the monster! With everything that has happened in the past hour, I don’t know what to believe anymore! Wha…What’s that?! News just in! BlackWarGreymon! The Saviour of Equestria! Has just been spotted within the city centre! No doubt confronting the new threat! Will things return to normality soon? Personally, I hope so. The fate of Canterlot…no! The fate of Equestria itself may be hanging in the balance.”
“This is Scarlet Overseer. Waiting for the next update.”
…………………………………………………………………………………………......................................................
In the heart of the ruined centre of Canterlot, lay the ultimate confrontation between two Mega level Digimon. Standing in front of his pony friends was BlackWarGreymon. The Artificial Digimon that was brought to Equestria to fulfil his redemption and become the hero the world needed. Standing ahead of him was the one he was sent to destroy. Diaboromon. The Unidentified Digimon that was originally brought for the same purpose. But chose to reject that path in pursuit of world domination. Warping the world of ponies for thousands of years in preparation for his rise from hiding.
Both ponies and Changelings froze from such a sight. Two warriors of the Digital World had finally locked sights with one another. For Twilight and her friends and family, the sight was nothing like they had ever seen. While some would count the clash at the Crystal Empire as such a meeting, but ChaosBlackWarGreymon being very similar to BlackWarGreymon showed that the battle could go either way from a visual stand. But Diaboromon was radically different. Their black armoured friend had never faced a being like him before. What also stood out was the simple fact that the confrontation was for the very fate of their world. Their lives were in BlackWarGreymon’s hands. And after knowing Ayumi’s history, BlackWarGreymon himself knew that.
While in the Harmonium Nexus, Harmony herself was watching the confrontation via a magic window. The look of anxiety on her face.
“BlackWarGreymon. Please be careful.”
While BlackWarGreymon stood firm with a stern glare in his eyes, Diaboromon chuckled as he looked at his foe with amusement in his voice.
“At last. We finally met. Face to face.”
He continued as he gave the Artificial Digimon a mocking bow.
“I’ve heard so much about you, BlackWarGreymon.”
As he rose back up, he saw that his foe remained silent. Continuing to glare at him in hate.
“Well? Nothing to say?” Diaboromon commented. Addressing BlackWarGreymon’s silence.
BlackWarGreymon broke his silence as he replied back to Diaboromon.
“What’s there even to say? I know what kind of Digimon you are. The kind that goes around slaughtering everything in your way. Even the young and weak.”
He then shifted his arms to the side. Brandishing the metal claws of his gauntlets as they gleamed in the moonlight. A very clear sign that he was looking for a fight. Such a sight sent a shiver to the Changelings. Some of them even backing away a little.
“The kind that has no heart,” He finished. His voice full of anger.
Diaboromon however paused in thought. Tilting his head to the side as he gazed back at his armoured foe. But then a grin curled on his face as he knew what to say next.
“Goes around killing…not having a heart… Are you sure you’re not talking about…YOUR kind?”
Such a surprise was felt throughout the ponies. How dare he say that despite everything that the evil beast had done prior. But the one who was surprised the most was BlackWarGreymon himself. Who was startled by the choice of words given.
“What do you mean!?”
Diaboromon replied as he pointed his finger at BlackWarGreymon.
“You’re an Artificial Digimon. Are you not?”
BlackWarGreymon flinched as he broke his aggressive stance. Looking at the evil Mega in complete surprise.
“What!? H-How did you know about that!?”
BlackWarGreymon was right to be surprised. From what he learned from Harmony, Diaboromon came to existence long before the rise of the Control Spires. And while the evil being made his re-emergence after the conflict, it was very unlikely he would’ve bothered to research what happened in the Digital World. Already gearing up to conquer the Human World.
Believing that he had already won the war, Diaboromon felt free to explain to him.
“It was your data that told me. The data I used to create ChaosBlackWarGreymon. Beforehand, you were an enigma. But upon the creation of your clone, I deciphered your data and found some of your memories. While I only saw a few, I was able to piece together who you are. What you are.”
Diaboromon grinned as he explained what he had found out. Almost reminding BlackWarGreymon of what he was meant to be.
“Created from one hundred Control Spires. The first of your kind to reach such power. You were created to be a tool. A weapon for declaring war. An obedient slave that was born to destroy. But in the end, expendable pawns for the ambitions of your creators. The same could be said for all those who were created from those spires.”
The ponies felt uncomfortable as Diaboromon spoke. The way he phrased his words was a clear sign that he was trying to hit a nerve in BlackWarGreymon. The same trick he used to break Ayumi. Out of the group, Luna quietly but angrily grunted in response. The evil being was reminding her special friend of where he came from.
But her hidden anger skyrocketed from hearing Diaboromon’s next choice of words.
“Don’t you get it? Your creators made you to be a mindless soulless slave. A tool with no thought, no imagination or freewill. You may have gained all those qualities, but in the end, you’re still an Artificial Digimon. A FAKE.”
He continued as he gestured his hand towards himself.
“Say what you want about me, but unlike you I was BORN a Digimon. Hatched from my very own Digi-Egg. My heart may be cold and cruel, but at least I HAVE one! Unlike you.”
BlackWarGreymon’s muscles began to tense up. Diaboromon’s words beginning to get to him. Grunting in anger in response. But then the evil Mega tried to push him further.
“Makes one wonder. Which of us is truly ‘heartless’?”
“ENOUGH!!!”
Surprised by the sudden outburst, BlackWarGreymon turned his sights over to an enraged Luna standing beside him. Her hated glare staring at the towering monster before her.
“You know nothing of BlackWarGreymon! About who he is! What he had been through! The pain he endured until now!”
Luna briefly paused to close her eyes, calming her temper down. After opening her eyes once more, her voice still retained a hostile tone towards the giant.
“He may not have been born like you, but he is twice the Digimon you are.”
BlackWarGreymon couldn’t help but feel touched by Luna’s words. Showing that she was there to support him one hundred percent. Even against a foe as horrid as Diaboromon. All the other ponies too felt awe from the Moon Princess’s stand against the beast. Admiring her bravery. Both Cadence and Shining Armor in particular felt a sensation. To them, they were not just seeing a friend standing by a friend. They were seeing a girlfriend standing up for her boyfriend. They couldn’t help but smile at the sight. Ayumi too was hit with a mental image. Remembering the Luna she knew back in her Equestria. Despite some differences between the two versions, the fierce determination to stand for what she believed in.
Diaboromon silently looked down at the blue Alicorn with a blank expression. Only for a chuckle to escape from his toothy maw.
“You poor deluded worm.”
The crowd recoiled in surprise at what the evil Mega just said. But it was the Digimon’s expressions that began to unsettle them. Behind Diaboromon’s toothy smile, was a primal fury seething through.
He then revealed the cause of his boiling temper. Gesturing his hand over to BlackWarGreymon as he spoke to her.
“That creature there is a mockery of all Digimon. A mistake of nature. A thing that shouldn’t even exist! And yet… you… of all ponies… is treating him like a god!?”
As he continued, Diaboromon began to lose his composure. Revealing the insane nature of what he had become. A sight that was admittingly unsettling to see from the point of view of his foes and his allies. The surrounding Changelings shivering the unsightly display. The Mega’s red blade-like fingers twitched in a threatening-like manor as drool leaked from the edge of his twisted smile.
“He was barely here…and you give him such reverence! I’ve shaped this world for thousands of years! Long before all of you were even born!! I SHOULD BE THE ONE REVERED!!! I AM YOUR GOD!!! NOT HIM!!! MEEEEE!!!”
In a fit of rage, Diaboromon swung his right hand to his side. Despite not actually hitting anything, the sheer force behind the swinging fist obliterated several buildings to his right. Solid brick reduced to rubble in an instant. The display of such strength took everyone completely by surprise. Even BlackWarGreymon was taken back by the sight. The idea of mass destruction caused with such minimal effort was simply terrifying. Especially with such strength being wielded by a force of pure evil.
With a horrific snarl, Diaboromon turned his sights over to the stunned Luna.
“I ought to rip you apart.”
Before Diaboromon could have his way, BlackWarGreymon raised his left arm to his side. Getting in-between Luna and the evil being.
“Leave them out of it! This is between you and me,” He said, making it very clear that it would only be him the cruel Mega would face. Sparing the ponies from any further harm.
The twisted anger that Diaboromon showed morphed into a sinister chuckle as he recomposed himself. Glaring his sights over to BlackWarGreymon.
“Hnn… is that how it should be?”
“It’s how it MUST be!”
The two Mega level Digimon tested each other. BlackWarGreymon taking a more aggressive stance. Preparing for anything that could be thrown at him. Diaboromon however remained composed. Letting out a soft growl as he narrowed his glare at his armoured foe. When he spoke once more, his next choice of words sent a horrifying chill through all around him.
“Know this. By the time this fight ends… only ONE of us will still be alive.”
He paused before giving a reason for wanting to continue on living.
“And I have waited far too long to simply die here.”
Feeling that the inevitable fight was just moments away, BlackWarGreymon still made it his priority to make sure his friends are safe. Despite not tearing his sights away from Diaboromon, the Artificial Digimon spoke to his friends.
“Everyone. I want you all to get as far away from here as possible. Get somewhere safe.”
Recognizing the seriousness in his voice, the ponies didn’t even hesitate to see how dangerous the warzone is going to be. They began to make their leave. But not before giving their brave hero one more supportive smile.
“You can do it, big guy. Make that freak pay,” Rainbow Dash said as she hovered close to the others.
“Be careful, ok,” Fluttershy added as she and Applejack helped the injured Discord away.
“Be sure not to hold back. You have to win,” Twilight said as she, Cadence and Shining Armor helped Ayumi back onto her hooves. The silent eyes of the alternate Twilight remained locked onto BlackWarGreymon even as she was being lead away. The group were followed by Celestia who took up the rear. The Sun Princess knew that their fate rested on the shoulders of the saviour.
Despite the warnings given, Luna remained still. Standing beside BlackWarGreymon to face the evil Mega. But to her surprise, the black armoured Digimon advised against her idea of joining in.
“No Luna. You go as well.”
The shocked Alicorn briefly stuttered from hearing what her friend just said. Surprised by BlackWarGreymon’s choice to fight alone, she looked over to him in denial.
“What? You…want to fight by yourself? But…we fought together at the Crystal Empire,” She argued. Reminding him about how well they teamed up against ChaosBlackWarGreymon.
When BlackWarGreymon spoke again, his voice carried a very stern tone. Showing Luna that the circumstances had become very different.
“It’s not the same as before. ChaosBlackWarGreymon was wild. Lashing out at anything that attacked him.”
His eyes narrowed while keeping his sights on Diaboromon. Finishing the comparisons between the two Mega level Digimon.
“But HE is very different. He knows full well what he’s doing. If he gets the chance, even only for a moment, he WILL kill you.”
Luna shivered the second BlackWarGreymon’s sentence ended. But remained stunned at how serious he was being. But there lied the facts that she couldn’t simply argue against. From the tone in her friend’s voice, Celestia’s vision that she had seen, the glimpse of Ayumi’s past she witnessed and the heartless actions of Diaboromon, it was evidently clear that the evil Digimon was simply too dangerous for even her to face. It was a miracle that her friends and sister were even alive.
She truly wanted to help BlackWarGreymon. To fight by his side. But with how grave the situation was, she closed her eyes and began to relent. After a deep breath, she began to retreat. But paused to look over her shoulder. Turning to face BlackWarGreymon with one more thing to say. A smile forming on her face.
“I shouldn’t be worried. You’re very powerful. You’re more then enough to defeat him, right?”
To Luna’s surprise, BlackWarGreymon didn’t answer. He didn’t make a reply. He didn’t even turn to look back at her. His eyes remained locked onto his foe. She spoke to him again. Her voice showing her increased uncertainty.
“R-Right?”
It was then Luna noticed BlackWarGreymon’s yellow eyes. They weren’t just filled with anger and determination. They were filled with something else. Something that made her feel very uneasy. The expression… of fear. The only time Luna saw fear in BlackWarGreymon’s eyes in a fight was moments when he thought he was going to lose. When ChaosBlackWarGreymon used his magic. When Tirek drained the Ascended energy from him. Those were the key moments when the Artificial Digimon felt that he was at his limit.
Luna felt a cold shiver through her spine. She was seeing those very eyes…yet the fight with Diaboromon hadn’t even started!
With concern suddenly surging within her, Luna turned back and took a few steps towards BlackWarGreymon. The tone of her voice matched the worry in her blue eyes.
“BlackWarGreymon? You…can defeat him, r-right?”
BlackWarGreymon remained still. And then finally broke his silence. The tone in his voice carried fear and quiet desperation. His eyes narrowing.
“Please go.”
Luna was taken completely by surprise by BlackWarGreymon’s response. She heard the wobble in his voice as clear as day. A very clear sign that the friend, the Digimon that overcame the odds, was having doubts. Doubts that he could win against Diaboromon. The blue Alicorn was so conflicted about how to respond, she failed to notice that her sister had come back to get her.
“Luna. Come on. Let’s go,” Celestia said as she wrapped her wing around her younger sibling. Trying to get her to move.
Despite being dragged away, Luna kept her worried eyes on BlackWarGreymon. Fear and concern going through her mind. But she was eventually led away out of sight. Joining up with the other ponies.
BlackWarGreymon’s eyes had a glint of sorrow. Almost on the verge of tearing up. He didn’t have it in him to tell Luna the truth. The truth that his next fight… was likely going to be the toughest he ever had. That the probability of him losing was quite high. If he told her, she would very likely try to stay and help. An act that would get her killed. But he couldn’t just lie to her either. Hence why he didn’t give the blue Alicorn a clear answer. Only a desperate plea for her to leave.
The Changelings, after witnessing the retreat of the ponies, had a similar feeling of escape.
“Umm…should we get to safety too? Or…?” Chrysalis asked her Digimon master. Unsure of how to respond.
“Do as you wish. Just don’t get in my way,” Diaboromon answered as he waved his hand to dismiss her.
As the Changelings hovered away, Chrysalis couldn’t help but noticed the threatening tone in the Digimon’s voice. He clearly didn’t want her or her children to get in his way. As they fled to a safer distance, Diaboromon and BlackWarGreymon were left alone. A stray wind blew through. Both their yellow hairs swaying in the breeze. The evil Mega grinned as he tried to strike a nerve in his opponent.
“Hnn. You sure you don’t want your friends to witness this fight? Or could it be that you didn’t want them to see your demise?”
Knowing that being angry was what his foe wanted, BlackWarGreymon kept a level head by reminding himself of what’s more important.
“It doesn’t matter. What matters is that they’re safe. Especially Celestia and Luna. This world wouldn’t function without them. But you already know that, don’t you?”
Diaboromon chuckled in response.
“Oh, how self-righteous of you. Willing to give up your life for such pathetic creatures.”
But then a stray thought occurred to him.
“There was one thing that puzzled me for a while. Which was how you ended up here in the first place. But now… I have a very clear idea on how.”
BlackWarGreymon’s eyes narrowed from figuring out what Diaboromon was about to tell him. To which the evil Mega done so.
“That worthless guardian. The one that brought me here all those years ago. She was the one who brought YOU here too. Didn’t she? To fix the mistake she made.”
Hearing the evil Mega badmouthing Harmony caused a sudden surge of anger to boil within BlackWarGreymon. Reflected in how he responded.
“That’s enough! She only wanted what was best for you. But you were too selfish to even consider her offer.”
“Then she truly was a fool. For not seeing the kind of damage I can bring to this little world. She is not fit to be a guardian,” Diaboromon replied. Dismissing the guardian once more.
BlackWarGreymon however was the opposite in his opinion of Harmony.
“She may have brought me here to deal with you. But in doing so she saved my life. She gave me a second chance to do things that I never had a chance to do before. I’m grateful for what she had done for me! And you can’t convince me otherwise.”
To BlackWarGreymon’s surprise, Diaboromon grinned in response.
“Seems wherever you go, you will always be a tool to someone else.”
BlackWarGreymon flinched in response. But the feeling of fury followed when he realized what Diaboromon was saying to him. But the evil Mega continued. Adding fuel to the rage.
“Your creators made you for destruction. To serve their needs. And now that guardian saved you to destroy me. Serving her own needs.”
The pupils in BlackWarGreymon’s eyes turned to slits from the sudden rush of anger. Diaboromon was finally pushing his buttons. Criticizing the very Unicorn that saved his life. The mare that gave his life a new meaning. But just as he thought he couldn’t be pushed too far. Diaboromon opened his mouth.
“Be it for good or evil, you were never more than a weapon to be used! A tool to be abused!! A TOY TO BE PLAYED WITH!!!”
With the last of his restraints broken, BlackWarGreymon launched his first attack. Digging his feet into the ground, he launched himself towards Diaboromon. But before he could get in close, the evil Digimon launched his right arm out at him with surprising speed. His giant hand collided into BlackWarGreymon’s side. Sending him crashing into the ground in a cloud of dust.
After retracting his arm, Diaboromon grinned as he kept his eyes on the dust cloud. But beneath his gaze, the cloud suddenly shifted. Then BlackWarGreymon reappeared behind him. With a mighty kick to the back, the Artificial Digimon sent the giant hurtling across the ground before crashing into an empty building. The sound of the impact echoed throughout Canterlot.
After recomposing himself, BlackWarGreymon raised his gauntlets to his sides as his eyes locked onto the broken wall of the building. Knowing full well that it would take more than that to hurt Diaboromon. Then just as he predicted, the freakish giant emerged from the rubble. But something was off. BlackWarGreymon watched in confusion as it looked like Diaboromon was…twitching. The fingers of the giant flickered as if having a spasm. All the while with a very sadistic grin on his face. The sight of which unsettled BlackWarGreymon. Unsure of how to process what was happening. Or even knowing what to do in such a situation.
But from the next words to escape from Diaboromon’s mouth, his actions were of pain and shock. But not in the way one would think. If anything, Diaboromon was… enthralled. Happy even. Chuckling like a twisted madman.
“Yes. This is it. This…pain. The pain I hadn’t felt for thousands of years! To be struck by another strong Digimon!! I’ve……I’VE MISSED THIS!!!”
Throwing his arms wide, the Mega cleared all the debris away as the ground trembled from the rush of power surging within him. BlackWarGreymon recoiled from the tremors and sensing such a rise in power. He then heard the evil Digimon’s outburst of laughter. Laughing hysterically as a wave of nostalgia struck him. Remembering his past battles with other Digimon.
“THIS PAIN!!! I MISSED THIS PAIN!!! IT’S BEEN SO LONG, I’VE FORGOTTEN WHAT IT FEELS LIKE!!!”
Even in the weakened state of his past, the strongest attack spells Equestria had to offer could do very little to hurt him. With that state of mind for thousands of years, it was an existence of no pain. One would think it was good to not feel pain. But after countless centuries, to Diaboromon, it made him feel numb. As if his body was in a permanent state of nothingness.
But after BlackWarGreymon’s single attack, the state of nothingness had finally been broken.
After another outburst of laughter, Diaboromon calmed down. His laughter died down as the tremors subsided. He then froze. His sights fixated at the night sky above. Only to then slowly lower his sights until he stared directly at BlackWarGreymon. His soulless yellow eyes glowing like a creature from a horror movie. Drool dripping from his demonic toothy grin before he spoke once more.
“I’m going to kill you…slowly. Not because I’m angry. Far from it! I want this fight to last as long as I want! To savour every single moment of this battle! I…want…MORE!!!”
Despite taking a defensive stance, BlackWarGreymon was admittedly disturbed by Diaboromon’s attitude. The rarest times when the Artificial Digimon was genuinely creeped out.
“You’ve got to be kidding me! He’s completely lost it!”
“DYING TIME!!!”
With nothing holding him back, finally letting loose, to truly be his destructive, unrelenting self, Diaboromon launched from the crumbling building and sailed towards his foe. BlackWarGreymon likewise doing so in response. The two Mega level Digimon quickly closed in one another.
Both were brought to Equestria. One who rejected Harmony’s wish. And the other who chose to accept it.
The resulting clash between the two… will decide the fate of Equestria itself.

Chapter is good
Wait fight and battle of Blackwargreymon and Diaboromon
Please wait updates next chapter
Forget about running, if Canterlot was evacuated until noone could see it over the horizon, its still too close. theyre going to be lucky if the moon remains a pile of rubble from a blast, directed stray or otherwise.
DIO!!!!!!! *Ayumi screams as she's hauled away, her anger returning as her mind began to shift her thoughts on how to avoid the demonic Digimon's ascension* I'LL BE BACK STRONGER AND WITH MY BLADES!!!!

Why do you think the moon is gonna get hit in the cross-fire?
And that was also greatly upset Luna, of course.
12196099
Is that a Jojo Bizarre Adventure reference?
nice work look forward to the next chapter
Awesome Start to the fight, can’t wait for the next Chapter, it will be interesting to see how Black fairs against Dia, I could see Black going into his Ascended Form to overpower him, I have no clue how he will be able to beat Armageddemon though
Not even Omegamon, a Fusion of WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon could, he needed to give his Power to Imperialdramon another Fused Digimon to have the Power needed to win
So can’t wait to see how Black overcomes such a Foe
