Chapter Eleven: Music Soothes the Savage Beasts, Try as You May, Tunemon! Plus, Lucemon's Deal: Four Days to Save the Real World! Lead Us On Jayden, Or We're Dead!

"Oh s--!" Nanami cursed. Two dark-robed digimon stepped out. One was pure black, wolf-like. It looked like KiddGaurumon, though missing the devilish smile, army-green band with at least ten different pockets, and was taller. The other was nearly the same, though its fur was a pale blue and was striped with darker navy blue.

"C'mon, who're you?" Kristy demanded.

"Sir!" the injured Biyomon beside her growled.

"Is that all he says?" Kristy's Biyomon asked.

ReggaePalmon looked suddenly worried. "Oh no mon…not good…" she said, flustered.

"Well, you gonna do your thing or what?" Nanami demanded to Kristy, who pulled out her digivice.

"Digi-Soul, Full Charge!" she shouted, slamming her pale pink soul into it.

"Biyomon warp digivolve to………Garudamon! Meteor Wing!" Garudamon attacked, but the two wolves disappeared quickly, and the fiery blast missed leaving only a patch of burning ground. "Damn!"

"Hehehe…can't find us, can you? You'll have to find another method!" the gruff voice of the black wolf sounded from what seemed like behind Nanami. She spun, but no wolf. Only ReggaePalmon, looking at a square device worriedly. It was near the same as Kristy's, only with a pink outside and light green inside.

Nanami ran over to the variation of Palmon. "ReggaePalmon, c'mon, can't you digivolve with that?" she demanded.

"Yes, just…I need a partner!" she cried. "I can't do it on my own, because I can't digivolve to Champion, only Ultimate and Mega! It's unnatural!"

"Well, I'll do it!" Nanami said, grabbing the digivice in her hand. Her determination swelled into a pretty forest-green Digi-Soul. "Digi-Soul, Full Charge!" she slammed it in.

"ReggaePalmon warp digivolve to………Tunemon!" a beautiful fairy digimon stood now, where the estranged ReggaePalmon was once. Its figure was graceful, human-like and willowy. Atop her head was a pretty curled tulip, and fairy-like ears stuck out form behind streaked green bangs which hung in front of her slightly pink face. The eyes were the same was ReggaePalmon's, almond-shaped and black with white pupils. Its body was that of a human woman, wearing a plant-inspired short cut dress. The sleeves were the top of a flower, like Lilamon's, as was the skirt and pants. Small green-gloved hands protruded from the long sleeves. Around her slender waist was a forest green cloth belt. Hooked onto it was a long wooden stave, carved with musical notes and at the top was a large blunt-looking note. Also, barley visible pink angel wings stretch from her back.

"Wow…" Kristy awed. Nanami only stared at her partner.

"Hey!" Garudamon, who had been protecting the injured Biyomon, stepped up when he realized that he was changing in a flash of bright white light. He turned into a standing raven-crow, with golden swords clutched in its claws.

"Let's win!" Tunemon said, her voice light and airy. She put both hands together, as if praying. She pulled them apart, and she now held a golden flute in her hands. She put it to her mouth, blowing a sweet tune. "Drawing Sound!"

The two wolves burst from the bushes, lulled by the tune. Tunemon stopped playing, leaving them dazed. She pulled out her staff.

"Musical Crash!" she shouted, waving the staff in a circular pattern, creating a blast of notes that didn't quite mix. Nanami, Kristy, Garudmaon, Karatenmon and the WereGarurumon all put hands over their ears.

But Garudamon saw this as his chance. "Meteor Wing!" he blasted each with powerful fire, and Karatenmon slashed them with his swords.

Without thinking, Nanami rushed up to hug Tunemon. "That was awesome!" she said happily.

"Thank you!" she responded, picking up Nanami and fluttering into the air. Garudmaon picked up Kristy, and Karatenmon flapped his own wings.

"We must find Sir Gallantmon." He said simply, leading the way.

"Wow, a bossy bird." Tunemon joked.

MMMMM

"Crap." Jay said as she looked all the way down onto the six demon-like digimon below from on top of GG's huge head.

"Miss, now what?" GG asked.

Without answering, Jay asked, "What do you want!"

"To destroy this world once and for all, of course." The leader, a angel-devil digimon, male, and human-like with angel and devil wings on each side of his back, responded.

"But, we're completely unprepared!" Jay protested.

"Well, that's your own fault, human." He laughed back.

Jay thought of something, as if it were her time to shine, instead of the old heroes.

"Four days." She said to him.

"What?" he responded, cupping a hand to his ear.

"FOUR DAYS!" Jay shouted. Even if he hadn't heard it, GG roared it loud enough for anyone to hear.

"Four days for what?" he asked, clearly fed up with yelling up and down, because he flew up o Jay's level.

"To prepare." Jay told him. "For your humongous attack."

"You're serious."

"Yes."

"I'm not going to."

"You aren't?"

"Well…" he seemed to consider it. "No."

"You're evil."

"And proud of it."

"I'm serious though, give us four days, and we'll come up with a force well enough to pose a threat. No attacking before, no attacking afterward. We win or lose." Jay explained.

"Fine."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Wow…"

"Your name?" he asked.

"What?" Jay wondered.

"So I can know that you were the one to step up." The digimon said impatiently.

"Oh…Jayden." She responded confidently.

"Lucemon, leader of the Demon Lords." He introduced himself by bowing like a gentleman.

"Well okay." Jay said, not knowing were to go on.

"Okay then, Jayden of the Real World. You have four days to prepare yourselves. I hope to see you fighting." Lucemon sneered with a smile.

"Fine, you will!" Jay snapped.

All the while, Dominic was looking between each of them as they argued. This is weird. Why's he negotiating? He's got an army of a lot of digimon at his disposal…he wondered. But, honestly, he couldn't take his eyes of Jay and how she was handling this as if it were normal. This usually timid black haired girl was stepping up, showing her worth, and Dominic liked it.

"You've got four days, little unusually brave human." Lucemon said quietly. "Use them well!" he disappeared in smoke, along with all of the other enemy digimon.

What did I just do? Did I just doom us all to our deaths? Jay thought worriedly.

Either way: They only had four days to rally the troops to save the world.

MMMMM

"Again…I have that bad—!" Loaño was cut off mid-sentence by a sharp pain in her temple.

AA! WHAT THE F--!! She shouted mentally, feeling herself fall down in pain.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm an involuntary precognitive, don't you remember? This is something you really have to see!! AA apologized, but he began to share his vision with her, flashing the pictures in front of her eyes.

She saw first her student, Jay, atop a massive wolf digimon, speaking to a dark angel. Loaño strained to hear what they were saying…

"Okay then, Jayden of the Real World. You have four days to prepare yourselves. Use them well…" the angel laughed.

"We will!" the girl snapped back.

Secondly, AA showed her the image of the sun rising into the sky, and high-leveled digimon stood side-by-side to await their fate. Most importantly, Loaño saw herself, Marcus, Keenan, Kristy, Thomas, Nanami and Yoshi amongst them, standing beside their partners. At the head of the line was Jay again, this time standing atop a massive, flaming blue-and-yellow wolf (every Michigan fans' dream!), holding the very same weapon that MirageGaogamon Burst Mode uses, only small enough to fit her.

Thirdly, AA showed her a statue. Just, a statue. That was it, only, it was illuminated by the sun, so she couldn't make out what it was.

All Loaño knew that was important: They had Four days. Four days for Jay to rally everyone, four days for them to get back. Or else…the world was kaput.

Suddenly, having a precog in her head seemed very useful to Loaño. Even if he wouldn't shut up…
