- Flame Area -
Zoe and Amy were looking around new area they were in, finding that no matter where they looked, it all looked relatively the same, to which both saw nothing but stalactites, mountains and fire.
"We need to watch each other's back." Zoe said, unsure of what dangers or enemies lurked within the flames, but knew that if they were to get out they would have to work as a team.
"Last time I was trapped here I needed to fight both your Human Spirit and Beast Spirit." The wielder of the Spirits of Wind then told Amy, who nodded, but then said in reply. "Easier said than done. With all this fire around, it's putting a damper on my water power. Not to mention wind based attacks will only spread the blaze, so we are at a serious disadvantage here."
"Don't think like that." Zoe said, making Amy look at her with a puzzled expression.
"We just have to remain confident in our strengths and each other." The blonde then said with confidence, her mind drifting to Takuya as she thought. 'At least that's what Takuya would think if he were here. I hope he and Ingrid are doing okay.`
However, before Zoe and Amy could react, the ground around them began to shake, before things went from bad to worse as flames shot out from the cracks, trapping the pair in a circle of fire.
Unsure what had caused the area to turn violent, the pair got their answer as a figure before them emerged from the flames, smirking at the girls.
Looking at the unknown Digimon, guessing he was the one who had caused the flames, Zoe asked. "Who are you?"
"I am Marsmon, the ruler of the Flame Area." Marsmon introduced himself, flames encasing his hands as he then added. "And you two will be the first to feel my firepower."
"Guess again." Zoe said back, defiant and determined as she withdrew her D-Tector.
"Execute! Fusion Evolution!" She then exclaimed, fusing with her Human Spirit of Wind and her Beast Spirit, where she then called out in a strong and determined voice. "JetSilphymon!"
Seeing JetSilphymon, Amy spoke up as she too withdrew her D-Tector. "Don't think you're the only one fighting. Execute Spirit Evolution!"
"Ranamon!" The wielder of the Spirits of Water called out.
"Let put out this hot head! "JetSilphymon yelled, about to attack, but was forced to stop when Ranamon got in her way.
"Leave this to me. It'll be a piece of cake." Ranamon said with a confident tone and smirk as she started to run towards Marsmon.
"Wait a minute..." JetSilphymon tried to warn her ally, but was too late.
"Draining Rain!" Ranamon called out, creating a blackening cloud above Marsmon, which began to pour upon him.
However, despite the attack being water based, which should've had an advantage against the fire user, Marsmon just smirked and stood in place, showing the attack was having no effect on him.
Shocked, Ranamon questioned. "What's goin' on? Why didn't my attack hurt him?"
"If that's all you can do, then crushing the both of you will be quicker than I expected." Marsmon said in reply, just as he clenched his hands into fists and set them ablaze.
"Mugenhadou!" He yelled, rushing up to Ranamon and made her cry out as he began to strike her with punch after punch, not letting up until he slammed his right fist into Ranamon's stomach, drove her into the ground, which erupted with a massive burst of fire, making Ranamon's cries turn to a scream of sheer pain.
"Ranamon!" JetSilphymon called in concern upon seeing her ally harmed, making her fly up and draw her pinwheel.
"Ultra Turbulence!" She announced, releasing a powerful wind attack at Marsmon, who countered the attack by picking up Ranamon's damaged form and used her as a shield, making the Legendary Warrior of Water cry out from further pain, before throwing Ranamon into the air, where she collided with JetSilphymon, knocking both girls to the ground.
"Pathetic." Marsmon stated. "I can't believe I was assigned to fight weaklings like you."
"Weak?" Ranamon questioned, pulling herself up and yelled. "I'll show you who is weak. Slide Evolution! Calmaramon!"
With that, her being was then wrapped in a cocoon of Data as the Legendary Warrior of Water switched to her Beast Spirit, transforming into Calmaramon.
"Acid Ink!" Calmaramon then announced, shooting a wave of black ooze from her mouth, covering Marsmon's entire being, before JetSilphymon decided to join in on their clash as she shot forward and slammed at Marsmon with her Pinwheel.
Managing to hit him, Marsmon was knocked back, which resumed as JetSilphymon continued to strike, not letting up with her attacks.
But despite JetSilphymon actually hitting him, Marsmon was able to counter the girl's attack, grabbing at her pinwheel and smirking at her as the ink dripped down and off of his face, revealing his fangs.
"Is that all?" Marsmon asked, just before kicking JetSilphymon in the chest and knocking her down, before throwing her pinwheel aside.
"My turn. Mugenhadou!" He then exclaimed, his fists ablaze as he went in to strike at JetSilphymon, who narrowly avoided the attack as she rolled aside and took to the skies, watching as the ground erupted.
'That was too close.' JetSilphymon thought as she sighed, knowing if she hadn't acted as fast as she did, Marsmon would've turned her to ashes.
However, JetSilphymon didn't have much time to rest, for Marsmon continued to attack, striking the ground, causing pillars of fire to erupt high into the air, forcing the legendary Warrior of Wind to shoot through the area, making sure none of the flames got to her.
Seeing Marsmon remove his fists from the ground, ceasing his attacks, JetSilphymon headed down, landing next to Calmaramon.
"What are you still doing here?" Calmaramon asked, before saying with sarcasm. "You've got wings, why don't you just buzz off and find your precious Takuya and your daughter?"
Hearing her bickering, Marsmon smirked.
'Good. The Water one is letting her jealousy consume her, which will make handling these pests that much easier, maybe then I can find some actual fighters worthy to oppose me.' He thought, deciding to take a moment to see how the girls would react to each other and the tension building between them.
"Look Amy, I know we don't get along but I will not leave a teammate behind." JetSilphymon said in a serious tone. "No matter how annoying."
"So we need to work together to beat this guy." She then stated as she looked at her ally.
"Teamwork?" Marsmon laughed, getting the attention of the girls, where he then commented. "This whole fight, it's been two against one and I have been clobbering both of you. The only thing that matters in battle is power. Sometimes you have to work with others, but you'll find they just slow you down, so it's best to crush all those around you to maximize your strength."
"You." Marsmon called to JetSilphymon.
"You know as well as I you are the superior one, the one who actually has a chance of defeating me, however, because you have to keep an eye on your teammate, it's slowing you down." He told the Wielder of the Spirits of Wind, before moving toward Calmaramon, where he asked. "As for you, you are nowhere as powerful as I am. But that can change. JetSilphymon holds the power you deserve, why should she be able to Fusion Evolve when you can obtain that power for yourself?"
While JetSilphymon wasn't backing down or fooled by his words, Calmaramon was standing there, thinking about what Marsmon had said JetSilphymon.
Looking at Calmaramon, JetSilphymon knew the Warrior of Water was tempted by Marsmon's words.
"Don't listen to him!" JetSilphymon called to her. "The way to unlock the power of Fusion is about..."
But before JetSilphymon could finish, the Legendary Warrior of Wind got struck in the stomach with a burst of fire, sending her crashing into a big rock behind her.
"She is weak." Marsmon said, approaching Calmaramon, where he placed his left hand on her shoulder and told the Wielder of Water. "You know what to do, defeat her, take her energy and reach a level of power you never dreamed of."
"Here." He then said, handing Calmaramon JetSilphymon's pinwheel to her.
"Can you feel its power, the power of Fusion?" Marsmon asked as his smirk darkened. "Use it to take what is rightfully yours'."
Looking up from the ground, JetSilphymon gazed at Marsmon and Calmaramon.
"Calmaramon... you know what has to be done..." JetSilphymon managed to say, earning a nod from Calmaramon, who brought the pinwheel up, above her head, looking like she was about to finish JetSilphymon off.
However, when Calmaramon brought the weapon down, she pulled her arms to the right, causing the weapon to curve and struck Marsmon in the stomach, knocking him down.
"Calmaramon." JetSilphymon could only say, just as the Legendary Warrior held out the pinwheel.
"I believe this belongs to you." She said, returning the weapon to the Wielder of the Spirits of Wind.
"For a moment, I actually believed you were going to do it." JetSilphymon admitted.
"So did I." Calmaramon confessed as she helped JetSilphymon up, before both heard Marsmon roar in fury.
"You little brats! How dare you make a fool of me!" He yelled, surrounding his entire being in flames, showing his rage.
"Corona Sanctions!" Marsmon exclaimed violently, leaping up and releasing the flames in one massive burst at the girls.
But acting on her emotions, JetSilphymon aimed her pinwheel at Calmaramon and released its energy, pushing the Legendary Warrior of Water back with a burst of wind, just before the flames shot down, causing JetSilphymon to scream as she was consumed by the inferno.
"JetSilphymon, no!" Calmaramon called, sounding highly concerned as she disengaged her Digimon form, reverted back to her human self and approached the dying flames, where she saw JetSilphymon, on the ground and badly injured, just before the Warrior of Wind was wrapped in a cocoon of Data and reverted back to Zoe.
Confused, Amy questioned. "Zoe? Why? Why'd you do it?"
After her question, Zoe looked at Amy, a smile forming on her face as she told her. "I did it because I needed to protect my teammates... Even if we annoy each, we are and will always be a team..."
Amy was taken by surprise at what Zoe told her, speechless as she could only stare at Zoe, who just smiled at her, before the damage she sustained was too much for her, causing the blonde to close her eyes, while her body went limp.
"Zoe? C'mon, Zoe. Wake up. Zoe!" Amy called in concern, shaking the girl, trying to wake her up.
"One down." Amy heard Marsmon say, feeling the flames behind her intensify. "One to go."
"Sorry Marsmon, but the only one going down is you." Amy stated, turning to face the Mega Level Digimon, showing a newfound determination in her expression.
Amused by her words, Marsmon crossed his arms and asked with arrogance. "And what are you going to do to stop me?"
"I'm going to take a page from Zoe and fight for my friend!" The brunette yelled in reply, continuing to let out a powerful yell as a blue colored aura circled her.
Feeling such strength, Amy withdrew her D-Tector, seeing the energy was coming from it and knew what she had to do.
"Execute Fusion Evolution!" Amy called out in a strong tone, releasing the energy from her D-Tector and using it to envelop herself in a final cocoon of Data, while combining the best aspects of her Spirits.
"What is this!?" Marsmon questioned, sensing from within the cocoon, Amy's strength was increasing drastically, past anything he had felt from her beforehand, causing him to charge at the Data cocoon and put a stop to it.
However, the second Marsmon tried to attack, Calmaramon's tentacle emerged and smacked him back with a great amount of force, making Marsmon skid back, before looking on in awe as the aura dispersed, revealing a new Digimon.
While she looked like Ranamon, having her face and body, covered by a blue coloured bikini, a blue tail had replaced her legs, but didn't look like it'd slow her down.
Calmaramon's squid-like body now acted as a helmet, with two tentacles coming out of Ranamon's shoulders, while her long, turquoise coloured hair was revealed and flowed down her shoulders, further highlighting her beauty.
But to show she was not just a pretty face, the new Digimon had a golden trident that had a beautiful crimson gem in the centre middle prong that she wielded proudly.
And with her new form, came a new name, one the Digimon announced with pride and might.
"Amphitritemon!"
Seeing the new Digimon, Marsmon snarled.
"So you have a new form? It still isn't enough to defeat me." He stated.
"We'll just see about that." Amphitritemon said back, lowering her trident so the tips were aimed in Marsmon's direction.
"Torrential Surge!" She then called out, causing water to shoot out from the trident, the force of which slammed into Marsmon and knocked him back several feet.
Getting back up, Marsmon was stunned.
"Impossible! No water attack should be able to endure the strength of my flames." He stated, making Amphitritemon smirk and say in reply. "Well that's because you've never encountered a water Digimon like me."
"Draining Rainstorm!" Amphitritemon then announced, continuing to shock Marsmon as the skies erupted with black clouds, before a great torrent of water poured down, not only causing all the fire around the area to evaporate, but as the rain poured upon him, Marsmon fell to all fours, feeling like all the energy he had in him was being washed away.
"This cannot be." Marsmon said in great disbelief, looking around to see the area no longer consumed in fire, before facing Amphitritemon when he noticed the various puddles of water her attack had caused gathering toward her and building up above her trident and forming into one massive sphere.
"Actually it is. Marsmon, you are all washed up. Dragon Siege Tsunami!" Amphitritemon exclaimed, the red gem in her trident glowed powerfully as she unleashed her final attack, causing the water to not only head right at Marsmon, but for it to also take shape, forming a massive red eyed dragon.
And with her commanding the very water, it crashed and enveloped Marsmon, making him cry out in disbelief from within the water dragon, his body unable to withstand all the damage it had taken, causing Marsmon's being to digitize as he was defeated.
With his Fractal-code visible, Amphitritemon pulled out her D-Tector, ready to purify Marsmon of the evil in his heart.
"Fractal-Code: Digitize!" She called, scanning the Data of Marsmon into her D-Tector, ridding his being of corrupt Data and leaving behind a Digi-Egg, which floated away, to be looked after by Swanmon until Marsmon was reborn,
With Marsmon done, Amphitritemon turned back to normal, her attention focused on Zoe as she approached the blonde to make sure she was alright, to which the brunette saw Zoe had regained consciousness and was trying to rise to her feet, where Amy then offered out her hand.
"That was amazing!" Amy stated, feeling like a new woman.
"Now I understand how you, Takuya and Koji feel when you guys Fusion Evolve." She then said, making Zoe smile at seeing how ecstatic Amy was with her new form of Digivolution.
"It is pretty cool." Zoe admitted, continuing to smile, before the Legendary Warrior of Wind got serious as she said. "But back to us. If I remember correctly the way out should appear now that the area has been purified of its guardian."
Just as Zoe said that, an eye appeared in the centre, where Marsmon use to stand, causing Zoe to look at Amy, who smiled and nodded.
"Let's go. After all this heat, I could really go for a cool bath." Amy commented, making Zoe giggle a little at the brunette's words, before both Legendary Warriors walked through the eye.
-Outside Sakkakumon-
Bokomon and Neemon smiled joyfully upon watching the events of the Flame Area finally finish, just before the eye of Flame lost its light.
"They did it. Not only were they able to defeat Marsmon, but Amy learnt what it truly means to be a Legendary Warrior." Bokomon said with pride.
"And they won." Neemon added, making Bokomon sigh at Neemon pointing out the obvious, but decided to ignore it when the pair saw Zoe and Amy, within a sphere, which then emerged from the eye and floated down to them.
And when Zoe and Amy landed on the ground, the orb dispelling around them, the girls saw Bokomon and Neemon, where both ran towards them.
"We did it! We won our battle!" Amy said, still proud of herself, as well as finding a newfound respect for Zoe.
But Zoe, glad she and Amy had escaped, looked up at Sakkakumon and said. "And now we have to wait and pray for our friends, to see if they can face and overcome the challenges we faced."
'Takuya, Ingrid, I hope you're okay and come out soon.' The Wielder of the Spirits of Wind then thought, still concerned for the pair, which Bokomon noticed the worried expression on the blonde's face, walked beside and said to her. "Don't worry. Takuya is strong. I am sure they will be ok."
"I hope so." Zoe replied
