Session 10

When the bell tolls

The Beta Testers stood there, motionless.

"We're screwed." Angewomon whispered as the creature made up of parts from an aquilamon and a stingmon landed. Standing on the creature, was teenage girl dressed in a blue corset gown with matching opera gloves and high heels. Long brown hair trailed down to her waist and large green eyes stared with malice towards them.

"And you are?" Nora questioned as the girl laughed.

"Keiserine Von Ichijouji." Keiserine announced calmly, forcing Alex and Nora to look among each other.

"And this makes sense, how?" Nora whispered as Alex stared blankly.

"Diary of a Conqueror and The Ex-Conqueror Diaries." Lara whispered and the two gave her a slight nod.

"I still have no clue what those two things are." Letorramon whispered.

"Doesn't matter." Coronamon answered and squeezed Letorramon's plush nose. Letorramon slowly growled and took a deep breath.

"Let's do this!" Nora announced, causing a dark purple outline to surround him."You're just a stepping stone on the path, here to test us!"

Letorramon returned to normal without Angewomon reverting to her cut-out state as a similar dark purple outline appeared over them.

James: Now there's something I would like a pokemon to try.

In Angewomon's place, stood the exact same digimon but dressed in a purple dress with green petticoats. A green longbow dripping with purplish green goop.

In Letorramon's place, stood also the exact same digmon except painted white and had sprouted a pair of angelic white wings.

"Awesome!" James announced and Keiserine smiled.

"Let's show that that fake conqueror." ToxinAngewomon announced, cocking her bow back and fired an arrow off. The projectile headed towards the monster, only to deflected into the ground by gunfire."Hey, fight fair!"

"Oh that's a wonderful idea!" Their attacker smiled and whispered something into her walkie talkie. The gun fire came closer, as if the shooter was aiming towards them...

"Hey! Stop pointing the obvious out!" The shooter announced and revealed their current location.

"I'll handle this." Butterdramon announced and flew through the gun fire, pulling the weapon away.

"Nice, man." James shouted as Butterdramon began to shoot at their target as the would-be conqueror smiled and laughed.

"It's funny." Keiserine whispered, just loud enough for the group to hear."It doesn't matter what pace you take to your goal. At this point, it won't matter."

"What do you mean?!" Luke accused and Keiserine laughed.

"You'll just have to wait and see." Keiserine answered as ToxinAngewomon and AngelicLetorramon

Holy Spray!

Toxic Arrow!

The arrow of poison and spray of white water reached their target this time, melting the digimon and caused Angewomon and Letorramon to return to normal.

"Let's go!" Alex shouted as the group ran past their defeated opponent. As they ran, the clock tower became bigger and bigger.

"Get down!" Lara shouted, pulling the other humans down onto the ground and dodging a barrage of darts that was aimed at them.

"Thanks." Nora whispered as they got their first glances at the opponent.

A grey calico cat wearing a pair of pink glasses was standing in the middle of the road, attempting to block their path.

"What, did the author run out of ideas?" James joked and ran towards the kitty. A bright light then surrounded the beast, causing a grey catgirl dressed in a white blouse, black skirt and grey sandals along with the same pair of glasses appeared in its place.

"Or not." Butterdramon remarked as Flower ran towards the creature and slammed the creature away."Well, I guess that worked."

As they were about to continue on, sixteen robot bears and a robot rabbit cheerleader thing popped out.

"Monjo Squad, attack!" The Rabbit announced and the "Monjo Squad" ran towards them.

Fox Illusion Paw!

Alex then morphed into the rabbit cheerleader thing.

"No, attack her!" Alex pointed at the other rabbit cheerleader thing, causing the Monjo Squad to attack her.

Fox Leaf Arrowheads!

The arrowheads struck the robots, causing them to blow up. The heroes continued on their merry way and Alex relinquished her assumed form and returned back to normal. At that point, the clock tower towered before them, three girls awaited them at its entrance. The first was dressed in a red skimpy boob tube with an extremely short matching skirt and an extreme amount of make-up upon her face that went her long black hair.. The second was dressed in a faded grey dress and a pair of faded sandals with matching silver hair and eyes. The third was dressed in a blue kimono with long blue hair and a cutlass along with a pistol.

"Have you enjoyed your trip through the little madness we call friends?" Girl #3 remarked causing Girl's 1 and 2 to give her a stern glance."What? It's sort of the truth."

Girl #3 pulled her cutlass and pistol off, pointing it at them. Girl #2 pulled a stick out and Girl #1 grew bat wings and claws.

"Are we sure we're not on drugs?" Flower inquired as her fellow heroes just looked at her.

"Doesn't matter!" Alex shouted and pushed the three gals away. They headed in, taking the steps two at a time.

"Only a few more steps..." Nora remarked as the bell began to ring. The beta testers froze in place, there digimon only watching them."We were so close!"

"If only..." Alex thought as she looked up towards the sky. Luke promptly punched her and looked into her eyes.

"Stop moping and continue on!" Luke announced and ran up the stairs, his fellow friends and digimon trailing right behind. As they reached the top, a foreign smell filled the air.

"Well, time to face the music." Lara whispered as they walked out of the stairway and into the bell chamber.

[Despair Pollution Noise]

A mangled and twisted body laid below the golden bell in a large puddle of pink goop. For some reason, the body was wearing an orange t-shirt with blue paint splotches and a pair of blue jeans with orange splotches along with an oversized blue and orange court jester hat.

"Uh... That isn't Maxy." James slowly explained as a katana was pointed within inches of him.

"What is the meaning of this sick trick?!" The wielder of the katana accused. It was a teenage boy, dressed in a white t-shirt and gray shorts complimented by brownish blonde hair.

"Sick trick?" Nora answered as he stared at the boy."I could say the same thing about your plan."

The boy slashed at the air, coming dangerously close to Nora. Thankfully, a second boy walked up and placed a hand on boy #1's shoulder. Unlike boy #1, he was dressed in an orange sleeveless t-shirt and black pants with blue eyes and jet black hair.

"Miguel, this won't bring her back." Boy #2 explained as Miguel glared at him. A few seconds later, a loud ringing filled the air and Alex pulled out the rectangle out.

"Hello everyone!" A voice announced and everyone stared into the screen. Maxy was now standing in some elevator with Palmon running back and forth behind her, doing the Palmon equivalent of the middle finger."How did you enjoy your little game?"

"Shut up." Miguel announced as Maxy began to giggle."You killed her, didn't you?"

"Of course I did!" Maxy announced, flashing a violet and dark blue D-3 at them."I couldn't let her have this."

"I'll let you know this!" Miguel and Nora announced simultaneously."You will pay!"

"I believe that means we're working together then." Boy #2 explained and shook Alex's left hand."So what do you guys call yourselves?"

"Alpha." Alex explained as a portal opened up."I guess we're heading out."

"See you around." Miguel remarked as the members of Alpha headed through...
