21: Hello, and welcome to the third and final part of my D0 Trilogy, namely D0: The Demonic Dozen. For those who are just coming please read D0: The Satanmon Saga, and D0: The Terrible Three before reading this.

Sponsor: What took you so long? You were supposed to update a week and a day ago!

21: Well, I left you all in a deep suspense, and I didn't want to break it so quickly...

Sponsor: moron, I don't know why I put up with you!

21: ...I also broke my computer, so I didn't have access to one for the updating procedure (so even though I have flash and J-drives for backing up my files, I still needed a computer.) Anyways, it came back just in time for Thanksgiving, so here's the update.

Sponsor: unacceptable...

21: I don't think you have the right to tell me what's acceptable around here or not.

Sponsor: I'm your sponsor!!! What do you think I'm supposed to do if not tell you what is and isn't acceptable?!?!

21: ...ummmmmmm.....give the disclaimer and get poked?

Sponsor: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

21: Just give the disclaimer already, people are getting bored by your antics.

Sponsor: Yes sir. The21stMartian doesn't own Digimon, he only owns the characters he's invented and maybe a pencil, so no suing!

21: excellent. now I shall poke you (begins poking a grumbling sponsor).

Sponsor: STOP THAT!!!!!!!!!

21 (continuing to poke the sponsor): Now, without further ado, I hereby present the next installment of my ongoing D0 Trilogy, and the first ever episode of the third arc of said trilogy D0: The Demonic Dozen, namely...

Episode 50: Terror of the Titan Part 1: Dilemma of the Deity

(Rachel): So George was continuing to fight Humongousmon, but now he was utilizing the abilities of both Falconmon and IceAngemon. His plan was to weaken Humongousmon's armor and then move in for the kill. Although it was difficult, George eventually succeeded and we thought the battle was over. As we were leaving, the mountaintop began to glow, and we turned around, and let me tell you, we are in trouble now.

"Humongousmon Digivolve to—Titanmon!!!!!!!"

The smoke condensed into a solid shape that towered above the Digidestined floating in the air like a horrible nightmare. Titanmon was around twice as big as Humongousmon, but was no longer robotic. The armor had been replaced by scaly pale-green skin, and the metallic horns disappeared. Instead, Titanmon's arms became extremely muscular, as he rose majestically up from the mountaintop, grinning an evil grin with his horribly fanged mouth.

Each fang was about as long as one of the Digidestined's arms, and looked like it could cut through even the toughest ChromeDigizoid armor.

There were no legs to speak of, instead, Titanmon had a dragon-like tail that ended in a spiked club. Titanmon's head remained humanoid, as he sprouted two green scaly wings of a similar design to a pterodactyl's wings.

"I am Titanmon, the death-angel digimon, my Tempest of the Titans attack will utterly decimate my enemies," said the titanic being, as the smoke finally finished clearing.

"I've never heard of a death-angel digimon before," exclaimed Ferarimon nervously.

George boldly stood up to fight him despite his exhaustion, and then promptly fell over. Dan and Jimmy helped him back to his feet.

"I'm going to need help on this one, Humongousmon was hard enough, but Titanmon will be much harder. I am sensing power levels that are off the charts emanating from him, and I have still not recovered from my bout with Humongousmon. I'm not sure if we can win, but at the very least we can try. Who's with me?" exclaimed the leader.

The digimon immediately warp digivolved to their mega levels in response, and the wounded George took to the skies once more.

-------------

The great expanse that is the sanctuary of the Digital Sovereigns. For eons this region has been a stable environment and meeting place of the sovereigns during situations of crisis, and this was certainly a crisis. The clouds overhead turned black and lightning flashed across the area, temporarily illuminating the four gigantic silhouettes lingering within the temple's entryway. The temple itself was almost as remarkable as the four beings it was built for. Built by the first civilization of digimon, this temple was commissioned by the leaders to serve the four Digital Deities, and it was used by the Sovereigns as a meeting place in a long forgotten city of ruins on an island unknown to the rest of the digital world. This island was positioned such that storms would circumvent it…usually.

Today however, the island was hit with a massive electrical storm.

"I don't like this at all," remarked Azulongmon staring out the stain glass window as another lightning bolt flashed across the sky.

"You are overreacting my friend," remarked Ebonwomon.

The rookie, Zhuqiaomon cleared his throat. "I think we should combine our powers with those of the Digidestined and wipe out Titanmon once and for all!"

Griffinmon sighed, Falconmon's successor still had a lot to learn. "We cannot interfere with the course of development," he said sagely. Of the four, he was the oldest, and as such was the only one to have seen the construction of the Digital Temple.

"I still fail to see why humans are needed to bring balance to a world we are supposed to be able to protect," countered Zhuqiaomon.

"The Digidestined were chosen to protect this world because we are unable to do so," said Griffinmon calmly "that is all we need to know", but the fiery tempered phoenix was not about to concede.

"My mentor DIED because of that human. I have a right to know WHY," he snapped.

Ebonwomon's snakelike head snorted. "And you think you can get all the answers by fighting Titanmon do you?"

Azulongmon looked at Griffinmon. Surely he couldn't possibly approve of such nonsense…right?

Griffinmon straightened himself to full height, towering over the rookie sovereign. "Is that really what you want?" he inquired curtly. The phoenix nodded meekly. Griffinmon sighed, "alright, you have my permission, but remember Titanmon is your enemy, not the humans."

Zhuqiaomon nodded quickly and flew from the sanctuary across the sky as lightning continued to streak across the black clouds. Griffinmon sighed as he watched the rookie's retreating form get smaller and smaller.

-------------

George and the five megas charged Titanmon firing off their best attacks along the way. The colossal digimon just stood perfectly still as each attack bounced off his massive form, not even leaving a single scratch.

"Damn it!" thought George, "if only I wasn't so tired! I could summon more of my power."

The goggled teen flew in for a close range shot, but Titanmon intervened in the form of an arm crashing into the unsuspecting warrior knocking him clear across the horizon. He landed ten miles from the mountain, the impact causing a mini earthquake. George didn't get up. As soon as the shaking stopped, the other Digidestined ran to the crater and looked inside. The crater was about 500 feet deep, and at the bottom lying in a pool of his own blood was the motionless figure of George.

After pulling him out of the crater, the Digidestined set George down on a flattened rock. Hannah began to examine his wounds. The main problem was a wound to the head, which was the one that was bleeding the most. She cleaned it off and bandaged it using a piece of his sleeve. She then moved on to the various lacerations across his torso, arms, and legs. Cleaning each off and bandaging the few that were bleeding. She sighed, all in all George was a lot better than he looked.

She turned and looked at the faces of her concerned comrades.

"He'll be okay," Hannah remarked, "He's mostly just exhausted. His body has shut itself down for rest and repairs."

"Well, what're we going to do now?" demanded Dan, "He's our best hope for destroying that monstrosity!"

"We'll have to wait until he wakes up, in the meantime all we can do is wait…and hope our Digimon can hold him off for long enough."

The Digidestined turned to look at the mountaintop where Titanmon was thoroughly trouncing their Digimon.

-------------

Azulongmon stared at the point where the rookie Sovereign's form was last visible in disbelief. He looked over at Griffinmon, a questioning tone in his eyes.

Griffinmon smiled, "You want to know why I let him go."

Azulongmon nodded, and Ebonwomon immediately turned both of his heads towards the ancient Sovereign.

"He must learn that violence and action will not solve all problems, neither will it provide solutions to his own personal issues, and the only way he will learn is by failing."

"Is that not a wee bit harsh?" inquired Ebonwomon.

"There is no other way…he is too stubborn. I just hope he knows who his real enemies are," explained the digital sage.

-------------

Zhuqiaomon flew rapidly toward Driver to find the answers he had been seeking. In his eyes burn flames of rage and determination.

"That human has meddled in the affairs of the Digital World for the last time!"

Narrator: Will George recover in time to defeat Titanmon, and what exactly is Zhuqiaomon up to? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters.

21: Well, that's a nice way to start things off wouldn't you say?

The Sponsor is out cold from being poked too ferociously.

21: huh...go figure. I think I'll leave him here until the next update. See y'all in around a week!
