AN: I am so, so, so sorry. It's been months I know, but I had to keep scrapping the chapter each time I tried to write it, it just didn't feel right at times. Hopefully this chapter makes up for that. Again I'm so sorry for the late update...
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN NARUTO OR DIGIMON!
Naruto walked out of the restaurant when everyone else was asleep. At his sides were Ryudamon and Dorumon, their eyes narrowed. "You felt it too huh?" Naruto asked.
"Hai, Naruto-sama," Ryudamon replied. "It seems like something powerful has appeared from the digital world."
"Two of them," Dorumon continued. "They seem to make ultimates feel like flies."
"I know...that is some crazy power they have..." Naruto repeated. "We need to see them immediately. Make sure they don't hurt anyone." The two digimon at his sides nodded. Naruto put his fingers into the ram seal, and his clothes changed into something similar to what the rest of PWNN wears. His was outlined in orange and had the kanji for 'beginning' on the back. "Let's go." After that the three disappeared in a swirl of leaves.
Z SCENE CHANGE Z
A portal that looked like a group of circuitry opened up in an unused lot. From out of it both Umbra and Nero walked out it. "Hmm...so this is the human world?" Umbra asked. He then took in a deep whiff and blanched. "Well, no matter what time frame it is, it still smells like sh-"
"It seems like we have guests," Nero interrupted Umbra mid-rant. The black clad entity, looked toward the same direction in which his friend was staring at. A small whirlwind accompanied by leaves appeared before them, and out stepped Naruto and his two digimon.
"Hey! Looky a destined brat!" Umbra laughed clapping his gauntlet against his gloved hand. "I wonder how long this one will take before he starts screaming?" This time Nero didn't reply, but Umbra nodded. "You're right. He does seem far more stronger than most of the brats we've met in the past. You think he uses roids or something?" After a couple seconds of nothing Umbra nodded again. "I guess you're right he's not even that buff."
"Um...is he even talking?" Dorumon whispered to Ryudamon.
"Well, no but I like to think that. It helps keep me sane...or was it insane?" Umbra stated from right behind them. Both of the digimon's eyes widen when he did that. The two jumped away and landed on a stack of metal beams. Naruto was looking at Umbra as well, but noted the other person hadn't moved since the beginning.
"Who are you two?" Naruto asked slowly. The one in the black clothing was apparently going to speak for both of them.
"My name is Umbra!...and the quiet guy over there is Nero," Umbra muttered the last part out. Naruto watched as the one known as Nero glared at Umbra.
"Um...exactly what are you after and why did you come out of the digital world?" Naruto asked unsurely.
"Well, we came here to-"
"Umbra shut up," Nero interrupted, his voice calm and collected. "We are not supposed to speak of our mission remember?"
"Hmph fine. Go ahead and take my fun away," Umbra sniffled as anime tears fell down his face. By now Naruto and his partners had regrouped, and were having a sort of meeting.
"Um...I don't think those two are stable," Naruto whispered as Umbra was comically crying and drawing in the dirt, while Nero just glared at everyone. "I mean look at them..."
"I know what you mean Naruto-sama," Ryudamon agreed.
"Are you sure these are the guys who came out of the portal that are supposed to be super strong?" Dorumon asked.
"Yes,. I am sure it is them."
"What are you people whispering about?" Umbra asked as he appeared in the group huddle.
"GAH!" Naruto and the two digimon shouted, again surprised that this person got within striking distance without them noticing it.
"GAH!" Umbra shouted in response.
"Umbra...stop messing around," Nero called out.
"But I don't get to have fun! And messing with the destined idiots is just as good as a good fu-" He stopped mid-sentence as the glare from his partner increased. "Fine, fine." Umbra then turned to Naruto, showing an insane smile gracing his face. "Well, seems like I have to kill you guys now. Fearless leader over there wants to hurry up so he can suck up to Master."
"If you weren't so good at doing your job Umbra, I would have killed you by now."
"I love you too honey!" Umbra joked. "Where was I before I was, RUDELY, interrupted? Oh yeah! Killing you!" Umbra seemed to fade out of sight, and the three people got ready.
"Guys be careful. It seems like they are finally starting to attack," Naruto told the two digimon. Both of them nodded in response; however, before they knew it Dorumon and Ryudamon were slammed into a wall a good few kilometers away from Naruto. "Doru! Ryuda!" Naruto was about to run to them but was stopped when a tip of a blade was at his neck.
"You shouldn't worry about them as much, when you are in trouble yourself," Nero stated as he tried to slash at Naruto.
Z SCENE CHANGE Z
"Sir I think we have a problem..." Miki stated as she looked at the screen.
"What is it?" Commander Satsuma asked. He was already worried enough when most of his operatives had returned from their battle against the People With No Name (PWNN). It was mostly the digimon that were hurt, and the only humans that sustained any damage were Izumi, Kouji, Mikomi and Kari; yet the damage was just superficial and didn't matter much. Now there was a bigger problem at hand.
"Two very powerful entities have appeared on the radar," the blond operative replied. "It also seems that the leader of PWNN has engaged them."
"Put it on the large screen," Satsuma order. The woman nodded and the fight between Naruto and the two new people was put on the screen. Dorumon and Ryudamon were facing off against Umbra, who was laughing as he avoided jutsu and attacks alike. Naruto was dodging the attacks of Nero as he relentlessly kept pushing forward with his blades. By now a few of the non-injured came in and were watching the fighting.
"I can't believe ninja boy is having trouble," Ryo sneered. "He must be weaker than I thought." Yoshino sent a small glare at Ryo but looked back at the screen as Naruto narrowly avoided being beheaded.
"It's not because he is weak that he is losing," Satsuma commented garnering the attention of those watching. "He is losing because he has not information on the opponent, and he seems to be gathering it during the fight. It was probably what he did to beat our lot."
"This may be a good time to do the same then," Touma suggested as he took a seat and began to record the fight onto a station.
"Blondie is right, we need info on every one of these people," Ruki agreed as she too began to work on a computer. The rest just seemed to watch what was occurring.
Z SCENE CHANGE Z
Dorumon rolled to the left as Umbra brought his fist down on to the ground, creating a miniature crater. He watched as his brother readied an attack.
"Lightning Release: False Darkness!" Ryudamon let a burst of electricity from his mouth shoot toward Umbra. The person being targeted turned around when he felt an energy coming toward him.
"Oh? What's this?" he asked like a child. As the jutsu came closer to him he grabbed it with his gauntlet hand, not even feeling any pain. This had surprised both of the digimon. "Now this is INTERESTING!" Umbra exclaimed as he looked at the jutsu that was still trying to hurt him. "Hey Nero! Seems like these destined brats were special after all!"
Nero was busy meeting blades with Naruto, as his tri-tipped sword clanged against a kunai. He sent one look towards Umbra that seemed to be questioning him.
"These guys can apparently use more than just attacks!" Umbra crushed the lightning jutsu in his hand and smirked at his opponents. "These ones can use moves that are rather new...sort of like us!"
"I see..." Ryudamon and Nero said at the same time for different reasons.
"Just finish them off already..."
"Fine." Umbra turned around flicked his wrist towards, Ryudamon who didn't have time to move. From his opponent's wrist a purple energy shot out, and entrapped Ryudamon in some sort of energy net. From Umbra's hand the same purple energy appeared, but as a blade (imagine a lightsaber). "I'll kill you first, since you seem to be thinking more than that idiot."
"Hey! I'll show you who is an idiot!" Dorumon shouted. "Fire Release: Blaze Driver!" Dorumon shot a large ball of fire out of his mouth and sped forward through it, becoming a flaming bullet. Umbra smirked and blocked the attack with his energy blade. The entire jutsu was cancelled out as he hit the blade, and Dorumon's eyes widened. Umbra slashed at the purple digimon, pushing him back, and hitting a still tied up Ryudamon in the process.
As this was happening, Naruto kept slashing at Nero as the two battled it out with blades. Naruto would try to take a slash at Nero, and vice versa, yet they can't seem to hit each other. After another failed attempt Naruto jumped back and took a quick glance at his partners who got up and began to attack again. Naruto then looked forward as Nero launched himself forward. The blond managed to block the attack of the dark skinned entity. "You're good you know that." The blond didn't get a verbal response, he did get an attempted slash at his midsection. Naruto blocked it with a kunai before kicking Nero in the shin, before jumping away.
"Don't talk much do you?" Naruto frowned. He sealed away his kunai, and took Dorumon's digivice off of wrist. Pressing the large red button, the small device had turned into a katana. Nero raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment on anything. "Yeah...you don't talk too much. Guys!" Naruto shouted at his partners. "I give you permission to evolve without me!" After that shout, Naruto began again his confrontation with the silent fighter.
Dorumon smirked as he heard the command of his partner. "Dorumon! Shinka!" he shouted.
"Ryudamon! Shinka!" the bushido following digimon declared as he followed his brother's example. Umbra had to cover his eyes as the light from two digimon evolve from rookies to champions blinded him. The next thing he knew, he felt a something stab him in the shoulder. Looking down, he saw a spear embedded into his shoulder. Umbra frowned as he saw that he was attacked. He then stared at his new opponents. Dorugamon and Ginryumon were flying and glaring at him.
"You think this changes things?" Umbra then smirked. "Well, guess again!" He ripped the spear from out of his body and it repaired itself quickly. With flick of his wrist, another beam of energy shot from his hand and hit Dorugamon the chest. This time instead of a net, it became some sort of pyramid the froze him in place.
"What the?" Dorumon barely got that out as Umbra appeared before him. He then punched the pyramid, and it began to drill into Dorugamon's body. "ARRGH!" Ginryumon responded by shooting another spear at Umbra. The villain stopped his attack, but grabbed the spear and threw it back at him. Ginryumon dodged to the left, but was surprised to find Umbra already there his fist glowing purple.
"Go back to sleep you fossil," Umbra taunted as he slammed his glowing fist into Gjuninryumon's head, causing the digimon to fall to the floor.
Naruto was actually starting to fight back seriously against Nero when he saw what happened to his partners. Naruto dodged the next move, but was surprised when azure flames seemed to be following the arc of the sword. Naruto only had enough to use a substitution jutsu, switching places with a steel pipe, to avoid the attack.
Z SCENE CHANGE Z
"Aren't you three going to help him!" Junjun shouted at the three other people living in the restaurant. Takuya had his eyes trained on the screen in front of him as Naruto was barely managing to hold off the people. Takato was watching with the same intensity, but you could see the worry on his face. Ikuto on the other hand was beginning to pace. Their digimon were busy sleeping to do anything. All four of them were in the training room, watching the fight go on, via a monitor.
"We're not going to help him..." Takuya finally responded.
"What! Why won't you!" the girl shouted as grabbed him by the collar of his shirt. "He helped you but you're not going to return the favor!"
"We are not going to help him because he is not taking this seriously!" Takuya shouted in response. He grabbed Junjun's hands and took it off his shirt. "Look I'm sorry for shouting but Naruto is much better than this. He's gathering info, just like he did against us when we were enemies. It just seems like these guys are much better though." Takuya then stared back at the screen. "Being second in command, I need to know these things. I don't want to go unless he really needs the help." He then walked over and pressed a button on the console. "Naruto hurry it up. You're making a girl cry over here, and if my guess is right Yoshino is crying too."
"They're crying?" Takuya heard Naruto respond as he was hiding behind a few crates. "Damn...Fine I'll finish this up."
"You better. Just don't die out there buddy." Takuya turned around to see the girl was actually crying as she stared at the screen again. He gave her a small smile and hugged her as she cried into his chest. "Don't worry everything is going to be alright."
Z SCENE CHANGE Z
Naruto sighed as he heard what Takuya had said and frowned. Walking out from behind the crates he looked at his two champion digimon still struggling against a laughing Umbra. While Nero was staring at him, his flaming swords at the ready. "Guys!" Naruto shouted. "No more playing around! Take them down now!" Nero raised an eyebrow as Naruto's eyes changed. They became frog like, while an orange outlining surrounded his eyes. "Sage Mode!"
Umbra stopped his attacks when he felt the power coming from Naruto. "Hmm...if done right, he can help us destroy the world," Umbra muttered to himself. He then felt two powers escalate higher. Turning around, he saw Dorugamon being engulfed in flames, while Shinryumon was bathed in lightning.
"Sage Mode!" the two shouted. Unlike Naruto, the two digimon's sage mode was different. Their bodies seemed to have gained tribal markings all over it. Dorugamon's golden eyes turned red while red flame like markings appeared all over his body. Shinryumon had blue eyes, while blue lightning marks were etched into his armor like body. Umbra didn't have time to react as the two blasted him with both fire and lightning.
"What the?" Umbra muttered just as Dorugamon slammed his tail into his stomach and Shinryumon head butted him.
"Fire Release: Blazing Cannonball Barrage!" Dorugamon opened his mouth and pelted Umbra with over a dozen large metal flaming balls from the front.
"Lightning Release: Static Spear Shower!" Shinryumon sent a storm of electrified spears from behind him. Umbra frowned as and created an orb like energy shield around him. He could feel both attacks hitting the shield, and was frowning even deeper, as cracks were beginning to form.
"Oodama Rasengan!" Naruto shouted as he slammed the glowing mass of rotating chakra into Nero. The dark skinned entity frowned as he blades were broken by the attack when he tried to defend against it. He then dodged a punch, but he felt something hit him against the cheek. Nero glared at Naruto, as he got ready with another move. "Senpo: Rasenshuriken!" Naruto threw the move towards Nero.
"Umbra...use it," Nero spoke for the first time since the beginning of the fight.
"Photon Slasher!" the three heroes heard Umbra shout out from within his shield. A gigantic purple blade erupted from the shield and cut down the attacks pelting it. The blade then met against the hurtling Rasenshuriken, and sliced it in half, destroying the technique. When the three sages looked at Umbra, his face changed a little. All of his teeth were sharpened into something like a shark, making the grin scary as hell. His entire eyes were yellow and no other color was prevalent in them, and he was laughing even more. "HAHAHAHAHA destruction has arrived!" The giant blade disappeared but tiny purple dots appeared in the sky. "Photon Rain!" Millions upon millions of tiny photon needles were shooting towards the trio, seeing as Nero jumped away.
"Azure Reaper..." Naruto turned around and saw that something similar had happened to Nero. His long black hair had turned into the azure flames that he was using, even the small bang that covered his eye was lifted, exposing the two completely orange eyes. The three tips of each of his blades had ejected from the handle and were floating around him. When the rain of energy started to descend upon the trio, the blades sped forward, completely surrounding the three.
"Damn...didn't want to do this early in the game but..." Naruto began to do several different hand signs, before ending with both hands upturned into the air. "DNA: Gaia Force!" Energy began to seep out of the Earth itself and formed a large ball of heat that was gather between Naruto's hands. He then threw it up towards the photon rain, before it burst into multiple streams of energy that destroyed both on coming attacks. The resulting attack created a large flash that blinded both Nero and Umbra. When the light died down, Naruto and his group was gone.
"Un-beh-LEEAVE-able!" Umbra shouted, his voice full of fury yet it came out comical. "THEY GOT AWAY!" He was already pulling on his hair as he was pissed off. "I'm going to MURDER them when I see them again."
"Be quiet Umbra," Nero stated as he returned to normal, just like his partner. "It seems like that specific destined was chosen by a digital god."
"Yeah...he must have been if he could pull off moves like that," Umbra sighed. His insane smirk reappeared though. "That must mean they are afraid of us! Oh goodie!" He then began clapping his hands.
"Let us return and report to master. These events were...insightful."
"Can I go shag something after that?" Umbra asked with a horrible Austin Powers impersonation. Nero frowned and disappeared in a burst of blue flames. Umbra smirked and shouted into the air. "You didn't say no! Haha!" The insane one then disappeared in a cluster of golden feathers.
Z SCENE CHANGE Z
Naruto had appeared on the floor of the training room underneath his restaurant, with Junjun already tending to his wounds. He was breathing heavily as he exerted too much power using the last move he did, the only reason they got away was because his two partners reverted back into their rookie forms, and kept using Shunshin to get from one place to another. Takuya and Takato had picked him up by the shoulders and brought him onto a bed in the medical ward, while Dorumon and Ryudamon shunshin into their room to rest. "You alright Naruto?" Takato asked.
"I'll be fine after some rest," Naruto winced as he spoke. "Used up way too much chakra and digisoul in that last move." After he said that he fell asleep.
"I'd say," Takuya replied with a frown. "That move was way too strong to use in close quarters."
"What do you mean?" Ikuto asked.
"He used, from my guess, two very powerful moves right after the other. Rasenshuriken was it? Then a DNA attack of that caliber...of course he'd be exhausted," Takato explained for Takuya who had decided to walk Jun out of the room, so she couldn't bother Naruto during his sleep.
"I still don't get it Takato-san."
"You've never faced off against a mega have you Ikuto?" The little boy shook his head. "That would explain things. I'll tell you more about it later. Wisemon-san." The book inhabiting digimon appeared from out of the floor and looked towards Takato.
"Yes, Takato-san?" Wisemon asked.
"Watch over Naruto for us. We're going to close down shop tomorrow so he can rest. I just want to make sure he isn't badly hurt after that fight."
"That I shall..."
"Come on Ikuto, let's get you some sleep. Goodnight Wisemon."
"Goodnight..." Wisemon drawled as he took his place next to the sleeping blond.
Z SCENE CHANGE Z
Everyone within DATS had their eyes nearly out of their eyes, while they watched the fight over and over again, while a chart was shown next to it. The chart showed the energy levels of each fighter during the fight. When they all spiked during the fight (Sage mode, and whatever happened to Nero and Umbra), their levels jumped up into a higher class. Naruto and his two digimon were practically on ultimate, despite the fact that the digimon were champions and Naruto was human. The other two however, they were in the mega levels. Naruto only managed to compete with that when he used his Digital Ninja Art at the end.
"Those...those guys are monsters..." Ai managed to whisper.
"Which ones?" Ryo asked sarcastically.
"They all seem to be stronger then they let on to be," Touma interjected. "Naruto seemed to be holding back so he can gather data, yet the fact that he used the same techniques on us means that we are still no where near his level. Those two on the other hand," Touma paused the screen when the two were talking in the beginning, "they seem to have been doing the same thing. Even at the end, when they seemed to get serious, they seemed to be still holding back."
"What are you trying to say Touma-kun?" Satsuma asked.
"That we DATS...are not even the same league as Naruto or those two. If our former members, those who joined Naruto and are still weaker than him at the moment, were able to defeat us easily that means we haven't even managed to scratch the surface of the power needed to take those people down."
"So you're calling us weak?" Ryo angrily asked.
"I'm not calling us weak, I'm just say that we need to train more."
"I agree with Touma," Ruki stated as she got up from her chair. "If I were to add to that, the last move Naruto pulled off indicates just how strong he is." Ruki took the remote and fast forwarded it to the scene in which Naruto pulled off Gaia Force. "You that move...it's a move used by a Mega." Everyone gasped saved for Satsuma. "If it were to indicate anything, that means Naruto and his group were strong enough to beat a Mega back before anyone even joined his side. This means that he will be able to handle me and Ryo as we go into Bio-merge with our digimon. Having Takato," people noticed that she flinched when she said his name, "means that he has a mega on his team too. Do you know anything about Takuya?"
"I used to have info on him..." Kouji said as he walked into the room, Izumi next to him. "He was able to go into an equivalent of a mega with his spirit, but since I have them now I don't know. His partner, Firamon, was able to keep up with Izumi when she was Fairymon, and that is saying something since she can beat most champions in that form."
"How do you suggest that we get stronger Touma, Ruki?" Satsuma asked with his fingers interlaced. Kudamon was listening from around his neck and was assessing the situation.
"I have no idea at the moment sir," Touma replied with his head down.
"Neither do I sir," Ruki also said.
"Very well. We'll discuss this more later. Everyone return your quarters until you are called for in the morning." With a salute everyone left the room, save for Satsuma. "What do you think old friend?"
"Those two, I've seen them before. I just can't seem to place them," Kudamon replied.
"Do you have any suggestions to get stronger?"
"I have one but I doubt anyone from our group, save for Yoshino and probably Kari, would agree."
"You're thinking the same thing as I am aren't you?"
"Yes, I would like to go ask Naruto for help."
Z SCENE CHANGE Z
"So it seems they have reappeared," Lilithmon stated as she laid on a large bed with violet covers. Her eyes were staring into a crystal ball. She also took off most of her armor, leaving her only in robes that left nothing for the imagination. She was in her own lair within the Demon Lord's hideout. Unlike the others, she was watching intently the fight between Naruto and the two fighters. "Who would have thought that years after you and I turned evil, that those two would come back. Right Demon?" A cloaked figure with demonic wings stepped out from the shadows.
"You are right Lilithmon. I still remember sealing those two with all the other deity digimon, while you and I were previously an Orphanimon and a Seraphinmon," Demon stated, his voice muffled by the red hood he had on.
"He must be itching to wake up soon." Lilithmon got up, her long creamy legs crossing over each other.
"You know you cannot tempt me. We've known each other for far too long, but I agree. Chronomon is to awaken soon."
"Well, we must hurry and get control of the world soon then. We don't want him eliminating our slaves after all."
"Are you going to tell Lucemon-sama?" Demon asked, his tone inquisitive.
"I don't think so. If he wasn't so wrapped up in controlling the world, he'd have known this the same time as us," Lilithmon rolled her eyes.
"Very well. I shall leave you then." Demon turned around and disappeared into the shadows. Lilithmon turned back to the orb, and made it stop on the image of Naruto.
"I think I found one very good looking puppet," Lilithmon said as she licked her lips.
Z SCENE CHANGE Z
"KYAA!" screamed an Angewoman, as a hand was driven through her body. It pulled back out from behind her, holding a glowing white orb, as she disappeared into data particles. The hand belonged to Umbra who was only in his pants. He was in a room somewhere in the digital world. It looked like a regular human bedroom, except that it was destroyed and smelled of sex.
"The angel digimon are always so coy, but once you get them to go along they really are feisty in bed," Umbra stopped talking to himself as Nero appeared.
"You took her digicore?" Nero asked soothingly. Umbra through him the orb and Nero nodded. "You are still going to indulge today aren't you?"
"Of course!" Umbra all but shouted. "You said I only get one day a week! And I'm going to get my fill gosh darnit!" Umbra had somehow changed clothes and looked like a cowboy, but Nero didn't even bat an eye, already used to his partner's unstable antics. "You are more than welcome to join the hunt you know," Umbra said his voice getting rather dangerously low. When his partner glared at him Umbra smirked. "Whatever floats your boat then."
"What do you think of that boy and his digimon?" Nero asked right before Umbra disappeared.
"UWAHAHAHAHA!" Umbra began to laugh. "Hopefully they completed their funeral arrangements, they might just be worth destroying. After all" wings started to sprout out from his back, a pair of demon wings and a pair of angel wings beneath them, "I am considered the avatar of destruction after all, UWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" And with that he burst into golden feathers, and off to find another victim.
"I hate that being so much..." Nero muttered to himself. "Sadly...he is right. Master chose him as the avatar of destruction, while I am the avatar of rebirth." A pair of wings made out of blue flames appeared from his back. "I have to respect his choice, and wait for my time to awaken master to a new world, so that we can restart it." His mind then returned back to Naruto. "That man will be an interesting variable in this conquest. A chosen by Huanglongmon himself..." Nero turned around before speaking to himself again. "We must go find our partners...they might want to have some fun as well. Blackwargreymon must want to battle, and Piedmon must be bored."
