Digital World/Outside of Zhuqiaomon's Realm/November 30, 2003/12:45 AM

With Earth under attack by the Rajita Empire, the Digital World has been in peril with an unknown threat. However, it was not a digimon that was threatening this world. The Dra-Warriors were immediately warned of the unknown threat and deployed to watch for any strange occurrences. The first indication of the anomaly was the changing of the skies and weather patterns. Darkness was covering the skies with strong, electromagnetic winds becoming ever more abundant.

Standing on top of a canyon, two of the Dra-Warriors sensed the change. Ninjadramon and Herodramon became one with their 'surroundings.' They opened their eyes and faced one another nodding.

"Do you feel the wind patterns changing? I've never seen an anomaly like this," Ninjadramon asked his Dra-Warrior partner.

"I know. Imperialdramon has been very concerned and it appears the Digital World is under a state of emergency."

"I know this isn't the work of Demon or any of his associates, Herodramon."

"No, I seriously doubt he, Piedmon or even BlackGuilmon is behind these strange occurrences."

"Herodramon! Ninjadramon!" a voice called out from behind the pair.

Turning around, the Dra-Warrior found Flamedramon racing over to them and catching his breath.

"What's wrong, Flamedramon?" Herodramon asked the armor digimon.

"Well, you guys have been wondering about the anomaly? Well, there have been reports of a wormhole materializing at Sector-COM 89."

"What! That's right by our headquarters!" Ninjadramon exclaimed, in apparent shock. "Is there anyone there?"

"No, but Imperialdramon is on his way over here."

"Maybe he can tell us what's been going on," Herodramon stated. "I'm also concerned for the people of Earth. They've been under attack by a powerful threat."

"I know and the enemy I've sensed has a power that surpasses Pharaohmon. It's hard to believe, I know. I just need to know whether those girls are all right," Ninjadramon sighed, remembering the Sailor Senshi. "Rei-san, Minako-san and Makoto-san, do they have enough power to aid their comrades?"

"I'm sure they'll do just fine with the Tamers, the Legendary Warriors, the humans with the monster summons and the Spirit warriors," Herodramon replied. "Don't forget they have the other Sailor Senshi."

"Once we figure out what this problem plaguing the Digital World is, then we'll do what we can to help our friends in the real world. Flamedramon, do you when exactly Imperialdramon will be here?"

"Any moment now," the armor digimon shrugged.

"All right, we'll stand by and wait for our orders," Ninjadramon nodded, crossing his arms and looking out the distance. "Stay strong my friends. We'll be there just as soon as we figure out our own problem first. Imperialdramon, I really hope it isn't as serious as we feared."

-

A few hundred kilometers away, the massive Dra-Warrior leader was flying over the Digital World's landscape. The dragon beast traveled faster than sound speed while covering a vast distance. He was returning from investigating the wormhole Flamedramon had mentioned earlier. It appeared he was concerned with this problem and would report it to his Dra-Warrior colleagues. However, he also sensed the dark presence that has been besieging the Earth.

"I'm sorry, friends, but this has to come first. We have our Digital World and the four Sovereigns to protect. This unknown anomaly is coming right out of that wormhole I've found. If it isn't closed up, I fear for what the consequences will be."

As the Dra-Warrior continued traveling across the distance, a bright golden flash appeared across his back. Little did Imperialdramon realize that the Winged Dragon of Ra was somehow merging its energy with that of the digimon. There was sudden jolt that shocked Imperialdramon's head and forced him to stop.

"Humph, well, well, what do we have here? I see a scared warrior who seems to fear the threat of the unknown. Do I sense fear in you?"

"Who is this? How did you get inside my head?"

"For a warrior, you don't use your head often. Do you, Imperialdramon?"

"How do you know my name? I don't recall your voice from anywhere before."

"We haven't been properly introduced, you fool!"

"Fool? You dare call me by such a name?"

"Yes and I'll say it again if I have to, fool!"

"Ok, now you are seriously getting under my skin."

"Oh believe me, I am already under your skin, or, more accurately, inside your body!"

"What? Inside of me?"

"It all started when you and your Dra-Warriors scared off little bone boy from out of your territory. That annoyance took my other two brethren and they are currently held by a group of stooges."

"Stooges? Well, I would assume Demon and his cronies. Am I right?"

"I don't know their names but they have my two brethren captive. However, I'll be sure to save them sometime. What's more important is the 'wormhole' you're concerned with. Well, allow me to tell you what you need to know. Now, pay attention..."

"I'm listening."

"It leads to another world quite similar to this one."

"You mean another Digital World? Don't tell me one of the three other realms is planning to merge with this one!"

"No, nothing like that, at least not yet. This world is completely alternate to your own and the inhabitants are not digimon, but Duel Monsters, and they might be crossing over into this world."

"Duel Monsters coming here?"

"Well, I can't say for sure, but I would be worried if the wormhole somehow gets bigger. There's no telling what may pass through. You can also imagine the side effects it will on the other realms you've mentioned."

"It can't be! I have to warn the other Dra-Warriors and inform this directly to Zhuqiaomon!"

"Yeah, go ahead and tell the ol' turkey what he needs to know."

"His name is Zhuqiaomon for your information."

"Ok, whatever you say! Now, make sure he tells his other Sovereign pals about what's going to happen. I'm sure they'll want to send as many teams to try to close the wormhole as they can. Well, they can try all they want, but it won't be as easy as you might believe. Now, I say hurry your butt along! Or is this the fastest the Imperialdramon express goes?"

"Friend, you are seriously getting on my nerves."

"Heh, and I'm just getting warmed up."

"So, who are you?"

"Ah, that is the million dollar question, isn't it? I am the Winged Dragon of Ra, one of the three Gods that rule over the Duel Monsters realm. My brethren, Slifer and Obelisk are the ones being held by those stooges."

"Well, aside from your annoyance, I hope we can cooperate on this matter. You seem to know about this crisis than I thought. First, it's off to see my Dra-Warriors."

"Should be fun."

The dragon beast powered his boosters to maximum level and flew off directly into the far distance. He and the Ra spirit now had formed an unlikely alliance for the time being. With Ra's knowledge of the wormhole crisis, Imperialdramon would have a better understanding and could warn his colleagues of the major concern.

However, while the problems in the Digital World were just starting, the real world was dealing with problems of their own, namely the on-going Rajita invasion.

Earth/Tokyo, Japan/12:50 AM

Nearly 75 percent of Tokyo was currently under occupation by the Rajita forces. Cruisers flooded the skies and soldiers marched across the streets. It was reminiscent of World War II scenery. It was truly a frightening experience to endure and the city's remaining populations were hiding. Many have been captured and forced to sacrifice their souls to the alien invaders. New territory was being claimed and hover tanks were patrolling the streets in search for any escapees.

One notable scene was a swarm of hover units encompassing Tokyo Tower. Aliens were already sitting on top of the tower and scanned the metropolis using body heat scanners. They would search for any warm-blooded target that dares to escape their watch.

Standing at one spot on Tokyo Tower, a Draconian Guardian read his PDA and received a message directly from General Morpheous. He waved out to several of his units and jumped inside a hovercraft. Apparently, they were summoned to meet with Morpheous back at the mother ship.

Speaking of the mother ship, the massive structure was slowly moving through the dark clouds. Radiant beams rained down from around the light orbs encompassing the circular spaceship. Ghidorah's presence was truly becoming felt throughout the city and his forces were already overtaking other cities across the world.

"Are we been called back in? Corporal Goldfang, what does General Morpheous want from us?"

"It would seem we are being summoned to be congratulated for our accomplished mission. We've managed to snare many souls from this human metropolis to satisfy our god, Leviathan."

"Is that right, sir? I hope we get medals for our work!"

"Somehow, I don't think we're getting any medals. It seems General Morpheous sounds very upset. I think there's some kind of situation taking place inside the mother ship."

"Like what?"

"We won't know until we find out. Now, let's keep the chitchat to the minimum, you worms! Our generals await us!"

"Yes, sir!"

The hovercrafts ascended towards the mother ship and were on their way to enter. Whatever problems were taking place inside the ship, the soldiers were still willing to present themselves and present the number of souls captured inside their stones. Apparently, there was more to Morpheous' message than they thought and were going to find out.

East Shibuya/Inuki Residence/1:00 AM

It has been nearly half an hour since the capture of Okami and his wife, Suzuno. The Sailor Senshi, the Spirit Detectives and their allies have stuck around the residence. It was decided that they would plot out their next strategy in hopes of exploring the city. Genkai and Botan watched over the soulless forms of Keiko, Shizuru, Yukina and Atsuko. Seiya, of all people, was treating Mamoru. Yaten and Taiki were conversing with several members of the Inner Senshi team.

Yusuke put his head over his hands and scanned the house's surroundings. He looked down to the soulless, sleeping form of Keiko and let out a deep sigh. Normally, he would never let anything get to him but seeing the girl he had grown up with made his heart ache. Kuwabara kneeled beside Yukina's side and held her hands, which were freezing cold. The teen felt his hands quiver but didn't let it bother his love for the ice maiden.

"It'll be all right, Yusuke," Lyn said, approaching the Spirit Detective. "We'll get their souls back somehow."

"That's the problem, Lyn. How are we going to get their souls back if we don't know where the hell their ship is located?"

"Well, normally aliens' spaceships are located in outer space," Max reminded the teen.

"Yeah, that's a good point, and none of us have the power to fly," Sam stated. "Wait, unless our dragon Kas can fly us up?"

Lyn shook her head, "They're too big and too vulnerable. They'd be shot out of the sky before we even got close."

"So much for that idea," the boys said, bummed out.

Glancing across the room, Yusuke noticed Hiei sitting outside the home and on the backyard porch. He knew the demon preferred to be alone but this wasn't exactly the best time to sit away from people he will end up cooperating with. Then, he looked down at Yukina.

"Man, I can't help but feel sorry for Hiei. He's got to be bummed about what happened to his sister. It really sucks to be him right now. I could go over and talk to him, but nah... I'd be a real jerk to ask him about seeing his own sister losing her soul. But, who else is there to try and comfort him?"

"So, Yusuke, are you ready to implement our next strategy?" Kurama asked the Spirit Detective. "If we really want to work together with the Senshi, we will need a plan."

"Geez, you know I don't plan ahead, Kurama," Yusuke quipped. "All I can say is that we clock those monsters' heads and kick their asses."

"Yeah, that's one way of putting it," the half-breed chuckled.

On the other side of the home, Yui was sitting next to Aoshi in hopes of comforting the boy. He had been devastated since losing his parents at the hands of Kuiiza. She smoothly stroked his hair and placed an arm around him in a comforting manner. A slight smile crossed the boy's face and leaned against his friend.

"It'll be okay, Aoshi-kun. We promise we'll save your parents. You can count on me, Cammy, the Senshi and the Detectives," Yui reassured her friend.

"I know, but these monsters are simply too powerful."

"That's why you have the Moon Heart Crystal. With it, you can grant the Senshi the ability to become Valkyries. Cammy's sister and her friends can greatly benefit from the gift left to them by the Moon Queen. They were always meant to inherit these powers if the Rajita were to ever to present a threat again."

"Yeah, but how can we can sure it will be enough?"

"Your father has high hopes of you and the crystal. If he claims the crystal is the only chance we have, then I believe him, Aoshi-kun. Please, don't ever doubt yourself and the crystal. Your dad has faith in each and every one of us."

Turning around to face Yui, Aoshi nodded in reply and embraced her fondly. The girl smiled and pats the boy across his back. Dark Gabumon, Cammy and Mokuba watched this warm scene from another corner. Cammy felt happy anytime Yui and Aoshi embraced.

"You all right, Cammy-chan?" Mokuba asked the young Hino.

"Yeah, I just get all warm when I see those two together," Cammy smiled, braiding her raven hair. "Makes me wish I had a boy to hug."

"Really? But you told me you didn't want a boyfriend," Mokuba recalled.

"Well, not a boyfriend, per se, I just wish I had a boy that I was close enough to that I could share feelings like that."

"There's nothing wrong with that."

"I suppose not," Cammy sighed deeply and let her hair loose. "Though my sister, on the other hand, she's a different story."

Glancing over towards her direction, the young Hino found Rei having a conversation with Yusuke and the Spirit Detectives. She wondered whether they were discussing plans to move into the city and begin their mission to save their loved ones. She noticed Minako and Makoto walking over to Rei's direction.

"So, that's our plan, guys?" Rei asked the Spirit Detective crew. "We're simply just going in to attack without a second thought? Oh, god, this is hopeless. Yusuke, you really need to learn tact."

"Hey, I'll be the first to admit I'm not the best planner in the world, Rei."

"Gee, that's no surprise," the Miko cynically remarked, rolling her eyes. "Anyway, Kurama, do you have anything in mind?"

"I propose you girls receive your Valkyrie powers first. If we are to strike, we will need to be at our peaks. If what Okami says is true, then your and the other Senshi's ultimate power will be unlocked."

"Yeah, good point," Rei nodded and turned to find her two Senshi friends behind her. "Minako-chan? Mako-chan?"

"Um, well we were just wondering if you guys had thought of anything yet," Makoto said, standing beside Rei.

"I'm afraid not, Mako-chan. Right now, we need to receive our Valkyrie powers, right, Kurama?"

"That would be optimal. Until we know the exact nature of your new powers, we won't know how to use them to their fullest extent."

"Sorry, Yusuke, but I've got go with your friend here," the Miko remarked.

"Yeah, go ahead and just call my idea crap," scoffed Yusuke.

"Oh don't feel bad, Yusuke," Minako replied, smiling. "Look on the bright side. We're going to become kick ass Valkyries! Those Rajita are going to regret messing with us!"

"You're awfully sure of yourself, Minako-chan," Kurama said, managing to grin slightly.

"I'm always sure of myself."

Nodding nonchalantly, Rei turned another corner and noticed Hiei sitting outside by himself. She walked up beside Yusuke and whispered into his ear.

"Yusuke, why is Hiei sitting outside by himself?"

"Well, he's pretty bummed after what happened with Yukina."

"Really? Why?"

"You'd have to ask him. I think its best we leave him alone for a bit until he comes back in. He likes to be by himself at times."

Letting out a sigh, Rei simply put her hands on her hips and replied, "I guess I'll have a word with him."

"What? Are you sure you want to do that?" Yusuke asked the Miko. "Even I stay away from the guy when he's not in a good mood."

"I know I can talk to him, Yusuke. You guys just don't have any time to consider having a word with him. You're scared he's going to lop your head off for being too nosey?"

"Well, yeah, this is HIEI we're talking about here," Kuwabara spoke up, nodding to the Miko. "If you know what's best, you'll stay away from that guy. He tends to say nasty things if you approach him while he's grumpy."

"I'm not afraid of him," Rei walked past her fellow Senshi and started towards the backyard door. "Yusuke, Kuwabara, you two just haven't taken the time to actually talk to him. Now, let me show you how to approach someone who needs comfort."

"Man, I have to say you're one brave girl, Rei-chan," Botan stated. "Nobody would ever have the guts to approach him when he's like that."

"Well, there's always a first now is there?"

"Be careful with this guy, Rei. There's just something about him that I don't feel comfortable with," Minako approached the Miko and shuddered. "He's way too unpredictable."

"No kidding. If there's a problem, just make sure to come and get us," Makoto said to her friend.

"I appreciate your concern, guys, but I can handle this just fine," Rei replied, slightly smiling and winking. "Wish me luck."

With that said, the girl closed the backdoor and left herself outside on the backyard porch. She glanced to where Hiei was sitting and let out a deep sigh.

"Setsuna-momma, you think Rei is making a wise choice here?" Hotaru asked the Time Guardian.

"If we are to truly work together, then we will need that demon's cooperation. Rei-chan will do the best she can."

"I assume she's second in command of the Sailor Senshi?" Karin wondered.

"Well rightfully, I'm second in command of the Inner Senshi," Minako replied to Karin's concern. "But, I'll have to admit, Rei-chan has proven herself as leadership material, maybe even more so than me."

"If you ask me, you're not giving yourself enough credit," Yaten walked up beside Minako. "You also have what it takes to be a leader, right?"

"Well, um, when I'm serious I can be a leader," Minako proclaimed, smiling.

"But I have to say that Rei-chan has really stepped up her game since Usagi left with Mamoru. She managed to lead us when we were involved in the whole Pharaohmon fiasco. Now, she's more determined than ever to get Usagi back. That's just how strong their friendship is," Makoto stated promptly. "It's like those two are inseparable."

"I know what you mean, Mako-chan," Minako agreed, nodding in reply. "Oh, Rei-chan, I hope you know what you're doing."

"I must say that girl is brave," Botan remarked and glanced out the window.

"I can assure you that Hiei will not provoke an attack on her. That I am sure of," Kurama assured the Senshi.

"What makes you say that?" Artemis asked as he jumped out of Minako's arms.

"Yes, demons are not favorable to Mikos," Luna reminded the crimson-haired teen.

"Yes, but Hiei knows better. Do not worry, my friends. She will be just fine."

"Let's hope you're right, Kurama," Yusuke stated.

Out on the porch, Rei cleared her throat and walked over to the fire demon.

"Um, hi there," the raven-haired girl spoke up, attempting to keep herself calm and collected.

"Humph..."

"You don't mind if I sit here, do you?"

Not getting a reply to her question, Rei simply shrugged and kneeled down. She looked out into the backyard open and remained quiet for the next few seconds. Then, she immediately broke the silence and cleared her throat.

"So, why are you outside instead of being inside with the rest of us?"

No reply came from the demon but Rei was determined to get a word out of him.

"Ok, fair enough, but can you answer this question for me? Just what is Yukina to you? A dear friend? Perhaps maybe even a sister?"

Upon hearing this, Hiei tightly gripped his sword sheath and his eyes slightly widened. However, he knew that neither Yusuke nor Kurama had told her about Yukina being his sister, as they knew better. This was simply a random guess the Miko made. Rei stretched her arms out and studied the demon's sword.

"I have to say that is one nice sword. You have to be a real bad ass if you wield a sword. I'm somewhat of a sword lover myself."

"Look, what is it you want from me? You're obviously up to something, Miko."

Shaking her head 'no,' Rei responded with a smile, "I just wanted to come out here to talk to you. It seems to me you're not a very sociable person. Am I right?"

"What do you know? You don't know me."

"No, but I can sympathize with you, Hiei. You're not the only one who just lost someone close to you. I lost my closest friend, Usagi, to that bastard Ghidorah. He now has possession of her, the crystal and her soul. If you had been there to see me, you would have seen me crying. I'm that close to Usagi. Before I knew Cammy, Usagi was the closest thing I had to a sister."

Taking slight interest in her explanation, Hiei listened to Rei and placed his sword by his side. He recalled saving Rei back at the Phoenix Arena prior to Pharaohmon's demise. The sole reason he even saved her in the first place was because Rei had a sister that deeply cared for her. Every time he looked at Cammy, he is reminded of Yukina.

"Why are you telling me this? It's not like Yukina is my sister. She's simply an acquaintance. Nothing more," Hiei covered up the truth of his kinship with the ice maiden.

"Maybe so, but you seem awfully close to her. I noticed the glimmer of sadness in your eyes when you saw her soulless form. Believe me I felt that same sadness when I lost Usagi. Hiei, we both have lost people that are dear to our hearts. I hope you realize that we have to work together with our allies. That means you, me, Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, the Senshi and everyone else. We're all here to help each other out in a time where we have to defeat the Rajita. They are without a doubt our greatest enemy."

"Yes and I will go through every one of those bastards myself to get Yukina's soul back," Hiei muttered as his eyes darkened and gripped his sheath.

Feeling the powerful Youki energy radiating from Hiei, Rei was slightly taken aback. But, she was not going to present any fear towards the demon and kept her calm composure.

"They made a grave mistake ever crossing my path and I will make sure they are sent to rot in hell," Hiei looked down at his bandaged arm and clenched a fist.

"You sure do like to talk like you're king of the world, Hiei," Rei remarked as she looked directly towards the demon's direction. "That has to be the most ridiculous proclamation I've ever heard. Look what happened to you, Yusuke and the boys. I heard you were beat down by two of their generals. We were beaten by just one. You see what I'm getting at here? There's no way you can take the entire Rajita army alone. Ghidorah has a really strong and motivated army. Even our planet's special defense forces aren't faring well. Don't think you can carry the whole world on your own damn shoulders, Hiei. It just doesn't work that way. I know you hate me for saying this but you just simply need to know. You're not Superman."

"You don't get it. Underneath those bandages, I have my ultimate weapon. Even the Rajita will not survive the hellish flames of my..."

"Dragon of the Darkness Flame."

"Eavesdropping on me, Miko? Why do you care so much for me?"

"Because you need someone to talk to that's why."

"Sorry, but I'm not interested."

"Hear me out, Hiei. I'm only talking to you because I pity you. I sense you have a tortured soul."

Stopping midway as he tried to walk past Rei, Hiei turned around and looked directly into her. He wondered why she even took the time to stop and have a chat with him. At least she was the only one to bother talking to him. Everyone seemed to be afraid of his unpredictable nature but this girl apparently did not care.

"I know this because I am somewhat of a tortured soul, myself. Before I met Usagi and the others, I never had any friends. Sure, I had people admire me in my school, but I wasn't satisfied with that. I didn't think friendship mattered in my life since my mother died and my father left me. Hiei, what about your parents?"

The demon slightly turned away and closed his eyes. Rei noticed a deep cut gash on his right arm and gasped. She sat up and walked over towards him with a piece of cloth in her hand.

"Here let me wrap that wound on her hand. I'll bet you got that from you fight with the generals," Rei said as she offered to treat his wound.

"I don't need it. I can heal just fine on my own," Hiei growled slightly and pulled his arm away.

"Oh quit being like that. Now let me see your arm," Rei commanded and grabbed his left arm.

"Let go of me!"

Ignoring the demon's threatening remark, the Miko wrapped the cloth around his wound and tightened the cloth. A smile crossed her face as she pats the cloth gently.

"There we go! If only I had brought some of my herbal medicine from back home, your wound would have healed faster," Rei chuckled.

"You didn't have to do that. We demons can heal our own wounds. This was just a flesh wound and nothing more."

"No thank you? Well, I'm rather insulted," the Miko crossed her arms and scoffed.

"Why should I thank you? Don't think that we'll be friends when this whole Rajita war is said and done."

"That might be, if you can bring yourself to stay away from my shrine. You've taken a sudden interest on entering my family's shrine grounds since the end of the Shadow Tournament. Why is that? Is there any reason? Are you really watching over me and Cammy-chan?"

"Don't take it personal. I'm only just patrolling for any runaway demons."

"Or so you say. Look, I want to thank you for saving my life before the stadium blew up."

"I only did it to prevent Pharaohmon from taking another body. I didn't want to ever deal with that bastard again."

"Yeah, good point. To think he could have possessed my body! Yuck, just makes me sick thinking about it," Rei shuddered at the thought.

Slightly rolling his eyes, Hiei walked towards the door to meet with the other Spirit Detectives. That was when the Miko stopped him by clearing her throat.

"You never did answer me about your parents, Hiei. I want to know about your past."

"There's no reason for me to. I'd rather forget about it. You wouldn't understand."

"I would if you would tell me. I know you're not a bad person, Hiei. I could tell from the sadness you showed in your eyes when you saw Yukina. You really do care for her. I know because I share affection for my sister, friends, remaining family members, but most importantly of all, Usagi. No truly heartless person would ever show as much sadness as you had. You didn't cry on the outside but I can tell you were hurting internally. You want to get Yukina's soul back and I understand that. Hell, I want to do everything I can to get back Usagi by taking this Valkyrie power. I'll do anything I can to bring her back."

"So, you think you can manage it by yourself? Sounds like you're sure of yourself."

"No, because I rely on the help of my friends. We're going to rescue Usagi together."

"The Moon Princess, she has to be most important to you."

"She's the one who will lead us into a new future. I foresee a bright and hopeful one."

"Not at the stage we're currently at. Besides, I wish to have no affiliation with the Moon Princess. Normally, I would be an enemy to her because of my stance within Makai."

"Hate on humans all you want, Hiei, but I know deep inside you're only a tortured soul. You don't wish any harm done to Yusuke and the others."

"What makes you say that?"

"The way you're always there for them when they need you the most."

"As I said before, why do you even care? We're not going to be best friends, Senshi of Mars. Quit trying to butter me up. I'm a demon and you're a Miko. Naturally, I would have slain you myself if we had met under different circumstances."

"But you won't because you're a better person than that. Here's a piece of advice for you, Hiei," Rei sighed as she walked by his side. "Quit hiding behind this machismo mask of yours. Don't you think it's time to be more open with others for a change? Kami knows I was once broody like you but I became a better person when Usagi came along. I'm not going to give up trying to make you a better person, Hiei. When I set out to do something, I'll try until I succeed. I guarantee I'll make a better person out of you way and I ALWAYS live up to my promises."

The Miko opened the door in front of her and motioned towards the inside.

"C'mon, the others are waiting for us," Miko said. "Well, do I have to roll out the red carpet for you, Mr. High and Mighty?"

Taking this slightly as an insult, he felt himself one-upped by the Miko and walked back inside the residence. A slight smile crossed the girl's face as she managed to talk the broody demon into walking inside. She walked behind him and closed the door behind her. Everyone, including the Detectives and Senshi, watched in apparent disbelief.

"Whoa! Did you see that? She actually managed to talk Hiei into coming back inside?" Yusuke pointed out. "It's like she had him tied to a freaking leash!"

"Yeah, I mean this is shorty we're talking about here. That girl has to be lucky to even talk let alone survive with a guy like him," Kuwabara nodded in agreement.

"Rei-chan, thank goodness you're still in one piece!" Minako giggled as she approached the Miko and held her hands.

"Um, what? We only just talked. No big deal," Rei shrugged her shoulders. "Besides, I know how to deal with guys like him."

"You mean you weren't afraid he was going to do anything rash to you?" Botan asked as she poked her head out.

"No, why would I be afraid? I knew he wasn't going to do anything to me. Even if he did, I would have handled him myself."

"That's awfully self-assuring," Haruka remarked from a corner. "Of course, we would have been here to stop him, too."

"It's ok, guys. Our conversation came out better than I thought. Hiei, you just simply need someone who is willing to talk to you more. That's why I'm here," the Miko faced the demon's direction.

The demon simply turned away and rubbed the cloth on she had wrapped around his left arm. No one has ever bothered to give him anything to relieve his pain but now Rei has and he doesn't know if he should feel thankful for her.

"So, has anyone thought out a good plan while I was outside?"

"As a matter of fact, we have," Kurama nodded in reply. "But first, Mokuba and Lyn wish to depart from our group."

"Huh? But why?"

"Mokuba's worried about his brother, and I volunteered to go with him to find him," Lyn announced. "It's too dangerous for him to be going alone."

"But how can you be sure your brother is still out there?" Karin asked the young Kaiba.

"He has his project still going on, so he'll probably be at Kaiba Corp., but if he's not there, I know he'll be back at the mansion."

"Really? But you do realize there is still Rajita out there on patrol. Isn't Kaiba Corp. in another district in Tokyo?" Hotaru said.

"That's right but it's still not too far from here to be honest. Besides, Lyn will be there to protect me."

"True, plus the Rajita activity around here has pretty much died down in the past hour and a half," Yusuke nodded. "Otherwise, we would have been long gone from this place."

"But you two stick together. There's no telling when they'll be coming back here, or who you'll meet along the way." Kurama forewarned them.

"Yeah, there's plenty of those jerks who are tough enough to take even us," Kuwabara said. "Hate to say it but you don't have the power to take down those generals, Lyn."

"Don't you worry about our sis, Kuwabara. Her Ka will protect her and Mokuba," Max said, smiling. "You two be careful, though."

"Yeah and watch your backs," Sam nodded.

"Thanks for your concern, guys."

"Yeah, don't you worry, I know just where to take Lyn," nodded Mokuba.

"All right then. Master Genkai and everyone, thank you for everything," Lyn acknowledged everyone. "Max and Sam, you two stay here and don't be afraid to summon your Kas if they're needed. Sailor Senshi, it was nice to know who you really are. Don't worry about your identities. Your secrets are safe with me. Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, Botan, I'm glad I could finally meet you. Yusuke, it was good to see you again. You go and kick some ass out there."

"Thanks, Lyn. Hopefully we'll meet up again," Yusuke smiled, nodding to the blue-haired teen.

"Oh, we will meet again."

"Right, now you guys better get going now if you don't want to get caught," Botan stated. "Lyn, make sure to beep me a message to let us know you guys made it without trouble."

"No problem. Ready to get going, Mokuba? Lead the way."

"Sure, just make sure to stay close to me," Mokuba nodded in reply and waved out to his friends. "Cammy, Aoshi, Max, Sam, Yui, I'll see you guys later. I promise I'll be back."

"We'll definitely be waiting Mokuba. You two be careful," Yui said.

"Take care, Mokuba!" Sam said, waving out to his sister and the younger Kaiba.

"Guard him well, sis," Max stated.

"Remember Mokuba, you have Lyn to look after you," Cammy spoke up.

"If you manage to find Yui's brother, tell him that she's fine with us," Aoshi said to the young Kaiba.

"No problem," Mokuba smiled, waving out to his friends and walking through the widened hole through the wall. "Better keep up with me, Lyn."

Mokuba walked out first leading the way. Lyn followed along with the younger Kaiba. Lyn fortunately carried a cell phone given to her by Botan beforehand. Now the Sailor Senshi and Spirit Detectives primarily occupied the residence. Their next objective was to begin planning out a retaliation attack on the Rajita armies swarming the different sections of Tokyo.

"Those two will be just fine as long as Lyn's Ka is available," Genkai reassured everyone. "Now, most importantly, what are you going to be doing? Yusuke, anything in that dim-witted skull of yours?"

"Geez, not you, too," Yusuke quipped, while sitting down on a chair. "Let's see here. Of course, I'm still leading our team."

"Of course, we have to carry the luggage," Hiei remarked, facing Kuwabara.

"I'll show who's luggage. You don't want any part of my brand new sword!"

"With the ability to cut through barriers, that technique will come in handy with those Orichalcos shields," Yui pointed out. "Hiei, I wouldn't call Kuwabara useless. Besides, we saved Yusuke from that demon, Draco."

"Hey, Yui, are you able to merge with Dark Gabumon again?" Cammy asked her friend.

"Yeah, I was just going to ask you that," Sam said, nodding.

"Don't know but it all depends on my digimon. Are we able to become Lady Lupin again?"

"Not unless I'm fed beforehand," Dark Gabumon replied. "Speaking of which, I need something in my stomach."

"Oh, don't worry we have plenty of food in the kitchen for you, Dark Gabumon," Aoshi pointed towards the kitchen. "You help yourself to get your energy back."

"Now's really nice of you, Aoshi-kun," Yui smiled, taking Dark Gabumon's hand. "C'mon, let's get you something to eat, Dark Gabumon."

"I hope he's got peanut butter," the digimon licked his lips.

"Better stuff yourself with something filling. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with chips sound pretty good right now," Max said, rubbing his growling stomach.

"That takes care of one little problem," Michiru stated. "You say Yui-chan and her digimon can merge together to become one being?"

"That's correct. Lady Lupin is a valuable asset to our team," Kurama stated.

"So, who's going to be leading us?" Seiya asked, fixing Tuxedo Kamen's wounds.

"Well, it comes down to one person we can rely on," Setsuna announced.

"That would me. I mean I was the first Sailor warrior to be awakened," Minako stated, raising her hand.

"Yes, but you really haven't been too serious about leading the group. Must I remind you the little incident in the Digital World?" the Time Guardian sighed.

"I think we should call you Minako the Drunken Sailor," Makoto joked.

"Ha! You better believe it!" Minako winked, smiling proudly and giving her best Rock Lee impression.

"I still can't believe you did that, Minako-chan," Ami stated, rubbing her forehead.

"And you're not going to do it again, are you, Minako-chan?" Rei glared directly at the blonde.

"Yeah, yeah, I promise," Minako replied, while crossing two fingers behind her back.

"You see that?" Karin whispered into Hotaru's ear, pointing out the crossed fingers.

"Oh yes, and I really hope she doesn't go out of her way to get drunk again. She's going to be in big trouble with Rei-chan," Hotaru replied.

"Minako-chan, if you don't mind, I think I should lead the group," Rei suggested. "I helped lead the group in the Digital World, and Usagi has praised me for my leadership skills. I want to once again prove myself to her. I feel I need to honor her."

"Rei-chan, I can't argue with that. You make an excellent leader and bring order to the group," Makoto nodded in agreement.

"Heck, I'll gladly step aside and nominate you as leader for our team, Rei-chan," Minako smiled and shook the Miko's hand. "Besides, I haven't really been myself these last few months."

"Minako-chan, I'm sorry if I upset you in anyway."

"Upset me? Why would I want to be upset?'

"Because I know how you've longed to lead the group. After all, you are the rightful leader of the Inner Senshi after Sailor Moon. I recall you telling me Setsuna praised you for possessing great leadership skills."

"Yeah, she claimed my leadership is a trait to my true character. But, Rei-chan, you've really proven yourself to me and everyone else, especially during the whole Pharaohmon incident."

"Minako-chan is right," Ami stated. "If Usagi truly did commend your leadership, then I think you should lead us."

"I can't do it alone though. We're all in this together. Setsuna-san, Hotaru-chan and Karin-chan, are you with me?"

"Yes," Setsuna replied.

"We're here when you need us," Hotaru said.

"Yeah and I want to prove myself worthy," Karin spoke up.

"Haruka-san and Michiru-san, I hope there are no objections," the Miko glared at the two Outers.

"After everything that has happened, why would we object? If Usagi really has high hopes for you, then lead the way," Haruka stated.

"You did just fine leading us against Pharaohmon. You'll do just well now, Rei-chan," Michiru said, smiling.

"I know I have your support, too. Right, Starlights?" Rei asked the trio.

"For Usagi and Kakyuu, yes," Seiya replied.

"Thank you everyone," Rei smiled, warmly. "You don't know how much this means to me. I won't let you down. Looks like you'll have to put up with me, Yusuke."

"Not a problem. I'm sure we'll work things out," Yusuke said.

"This is going to be cool. We're actually going to team with the Sailor Senshi," Kuwabara grinned. "I never thought it'd happen."

"I'll bet there are other reasons you'd like to tell us why you're happy about joining them," Hiei stated. "Well?"

"Hey, I'm not like Urameshi. My heart is with Yukina and always will, shorty."

"You calling me a perv?" Yusuke spat out.

"Well, that's no surprise," Botan muttered to herself.

"So, we have our leaders chosen. All we need to do is have Aoshi unlock the Moon Heart Crystal to grant the Sailor Senshi their rightful Valkyrie powers," Kurama said, looking over at the boy.

"Aoshi-kun, ready to get this over with?" Cammy asked her friend.

With all eyes on Aoshi, the boy appeared to be hesitant and looked at the Sailor Senshi. The time was now. Would the girls at last receive the legendary, Valkyrie powers rightfully bestowed to them?

Several blocks from Kaiba Corp/1:10 AM

Since departing from their school and their conversation with Asagi, the Tamers were close to their destination of Kaiba Corp Tower. Most shocking of all was the revelation of Ms. Asagi being a Lycan member of Okami's clan. Takato, Kazu, Kenta and Jeri would have never expected this but the Tamers were nonetheless ready to rescue the lost Moon Princess from Ghidorah's clutches.

Leading the Tamers across the empty streets, Suzakato flew across with Guilmon hanging on by his Tamer's hands.

"Don't drop me, Takato. This is really high!"

"Just don't let go, buddy. In any case, we're almost there. Hear me, guys? We'll be there in no time!"

"Well, it's about time," Seirika remarked. "Renamon, we need to find my parents sometime after we meet with Yugi's group."

"Yes, that should be one of our first priorities, Rika. Strangely enough, I sense no alien presence in this district. Inumon, how about you?"

"Nope, it's all clear here, Renamon. Having fun on your little ride, Himura?"

Glancing towards his partner, Inumon snickered as he caught glimpse of Himakko standing on a levitating manhole cover. The tiger warrior was having a blast on his ride.

"Oh yeah! Static Shock, eat your heart out!" Himakko hollered.

"I rest my case," Inumon shrugged, while springing across.

"Gee, Henry, why can't I have magnetic powers?" Terriermon asked, pouting and clinging on his partner's head.

"Because we're in a serious situation and Himura better stop fooling around."

"Yeah and his sister is still out there," Kazu pointed out. "Shouldn't he be worried?"

"He is worried but he's assured us she'll be fine with this Yusuke person," Phillipe replied, sitting on Guardromon's right shoulder. "Apparently, this Yusuke guy is pretty strong."

"Oh him? Yeah, he's one of the guys that helped bring down Pharaohmon," Felinismon stated. "Yui and Dark Gabumon will be just fine. At least, I hope so."

"Um, guys. I don't mean to stop you but there's a really bright light right ahead of us!" Kenta exclaimed as he pointed across.

"He's right! There's a beam but there's a fog," Suzakato said noticing the smog forming. "Wait! It's a digital field!"

"What? At a time like this?" Henbu exclaimed. "We don't have time to be dealing with any wild ones!"

"No, I'm sensing a familiar presence from this digital field," Renamon muttered and glared coldly at its path. "So, it's you! Coming back to try to annoy me and take Inumon?"

"Crap! You guys stop!" Inumon called out.

"What's wrong, Inumon?" Himakko asked his slightly paranoid partner. "Why are you so antsy all of a sudden?"

"Something you're not telling us, Inumon?" Jeri wondered, noticing paranoia on the mongrel's face.

"Well, guys, I say we stop here," Suzakato instructed his fellow Tamers. "We'll see what's behind this digital field and find out what's bothering Inumon. It shouldn't be that bad, right?"

"We're about to find out, Takato," Guilmon said, glancing at the dissipating smoke cloud.

The Tamers all stopped momentarily for the fog to complete dissipate. A long shadow stood amongst the smoke and slowly emerged. Renamon and Inumon were quick to recognize this individual's scent. The Tamers all gasped in unison to find none other than the Inumon-obsessed Kuzuhamon coughing through the smoke.

"Ack, I nearly choked in that cloud," Kuzuhamon choked out, waving her hand over her face. "Whew!"

"Hey, it's Kuzuhamon!" Terriermon pointed out. "Hey, Renamon, I'll bet you're really happy to see her again."

"Oh yes, I'm ecstatic," Renamon remarked, scoffing.

"Kuzuhamon, um, it's nice to see you again," Suzakato said.

"Um, who is this?" Phillipe whispered in Kazu's ear.

"A crazy digimon who's in love in Inumon here," Kazu snickered and nudged the boy's shoulder.

"Oh, but it looks like Renamon's not too happy to see her."

"Oh, she is. This is just her own way of greeting her," Kenta grinned.

"Hey, remember her, Lopmon?" Suzie pointed out to the dark Sakuyamon look-a-like.

"Yeah I do but why is she here?" Lopmon wondered.

"Oh, thank goodness I found you, Tamers!" Kuzuhamon happily laughed. "Wait, what's with the new outfits? I'm also sensing some kind of weird power from you four. What's the deal?"

"It's a long story, Kuzuhamon," Himakko replied. "So, is life treating you better since you're part of the Amazons?"

"Well, let's just say me and Witchmon are still causing a mess," Kuzuhamon snickered, but immediately cleared her throat. "Look, we have an urgent situation at the Amazon Kingdom."

"What's going on over there?" Suzakato asked the mega digimon.

"You wouldn't believe it."

"Oh, but I think we deserve to know, honey!" a familiar southern-like accent called out.

The Tamers and company looked up to spot Ranamon standing on a light post. The Warrior of Water smiled and waved down to her friends.

"Hi, ya'll!"

"Big sister Jaarin!" Suzie called out.

"Jaarin, what are you doing here? I thought you'd be with mom, dad and big brother?" Henbu said, surprised to see his older sibling.

Hopping off the light post, Ranamon gracefully landed on her feet and said, "When I got home, the parents weren't there. It was just Suzie. I told her to wait at home until our family gets back. If they didn't come back by eleven, then I'd go by and pick Suzie up. As soon as I got there, she was gone. Apparently, you had taken her?"

"She was actually outside our apartment. I ran back to see if anyone was home. Good thing Lopmon kept an eye on her."

"That's good to know," Ranamon smiled and kneeled beside Suzie. "You ok, Suzie? I'm sorry for leaving you like that."

"It's okay. Lopmon took care of me."

"But where are the other Legendary warriors? Shouldn't you be with Dimitro and the gang?" Jeri asked the Warrior of Water.

"We had a run-in with some of those aliens. The guys managed to get away and I have no idea where they are now."

"I assume they're still be fighting those things out there," Henbu ventured.

"Maybe, but what's the deal with our unwanted guest? Ain't she one of Pharaohmon's goons from the tournament?"

"Hey, I may have misbehaved in the past, but I'm reformed, now," Kuzuhamon scoffed, crossing her arms. "I came here because the Amazon Kingdom needs your help!"

"Why, what's wrong?" Guilmon asked the female.

"An old enemy of theirs is starting to attack. With Athenamon on her long honeymoon with Omegamon, none of us really are a match for this threat. I'm the only mega-level Amazon to provide any defense. It's not enough I'm afraid."

"That's terrible, Kuzuhamon. However, we have our hands full. You see an even greater enemy is attacking our own planet. We don't know where our families are and these monsters are capturing souls from every direction," Suzakato explained. "I'm afraid we won't be able to provide any weapon."

"We'd like to but we're stuck here fighting the Rajita," Himakko nodded his head.

"But, there's got to be something you guys can do! I'm sure with your digimon will be enough to defeat this enemy."

"Renamon, what should we do?" Inumon said to the female fox.

"This is a rather difficult decision, but I'm loyal to Rika. I'm staying here. As much as I respect Athenamon, I can't abandon my Tamer."

"But, we can't win this on our own. Please, try to reconsider this," Kuzuhamon begged as she attempted to change their minds. "Please!"

"Hey! If you're looking for some volunteers to help you, then look no further!" Kazu called out to Kuzuhamon.

"What? Kazu, just what are you doing?" Kenta whispered to his friend.

"This is our chance to finally get some action. Play along."

"So, that's what you two have in mind?" Jeri wondered. "Felinismon?"

"We could split up. One group can stay here and deal with the Rajita, and another can go with Kuzuhamon to help the Amazons. I'm with Kazu here. Besides, I doubt I can take any of the Rajita but I might be of some use against this enemy of the Amazons. Besides, Athenamon's cool in my book."

"What? You mean you guys will actually come and help us? Yay! This is so wonderful!" Kuzuhamon squealed excitedly, hopping up and down happily. "You don't realize how this will benefit our defense!"

"Oh, how about it, big sister? We can help them, too?" Suzie tugged on Ranamon's side. "What do you think?"

"I think it's too dangerous for us, Suzie. But staying here might be even more dangerous. Lopmon, should we go?"

"If you're willing to accompany her, so we can both watch her together," Lopmon suggested.

"Ok, then. Boys, I hope there's more room in your little band," Ranamon said, waving her hand up.

"Sure, we could use the help," Kazu nodded. "Besides, Guardromon could use the backup in case we get our butts kicked."

"Hey, now that hurt, Kazu," Guardromon twiddled his thumbs and sweat dropped.

"Wow, so you guys are willing to go in our place? What pals," Suzakato smiled as he looked at his friends.

"Yeah, leave it to us. We'll take care of whatever's messing with the Amazons," Kazu reassured the flame warrior.

"Oh boy, just make sure to take the mission seriously and don't go looking for those two old digimon couple," Seirika stated promptly and pointed her trident staff at them.

"And you better not let these children out of your sight, Kuzuhamon," Renamon glared directly at the dark-armored female.

"Yeah, thanks for the warning there, Renamon," Kuzuhamon released a sigh. "Ok, it's settled then guys. We'll be on our way then."

However, before Kuzuhamon gathered the Tamers who would volunteer, a voice amongst them spoke out and caught Kuzuhamon's undivided attention.

"I want go with you guys," Phillipe stated, walking up to the Tamers.

The four Beast Tamers looked at Phillipe very surprised, especially Himakko. Himakko wasn't so sure if it was a good idea for Phillipe to accompany Jeri, Kenta, Kazu, Ranamon and Suzie to the Amazon Kingdom.

"I don't know if that's a good idea, especially without a digimon partner to accompany you," Himakko said, with concern.

Phillipe looked at him with a determined glare. Judging from his friend's eyes, Himakko could tell Phillipe was serious.

"I know you're worried about me, Himura-san, but I don't want hide anymore. I want to help," Phillipe stated. "I want to make a difference for once."

Himakko blinked several times. He could have sworn he just visualized Kotori in the place of the Japanese-French boy. Then, Jeri placed a hand on Himakko's shoulder.

"Don't worry, Himura. We'll take care of him. Remember, Kenta and Kazu went to the Digital World without digimon partners and it was there they found Guardromon and Marine Angemon."

"That's right dude," Kazu replied, patting Phillipe's back. "In the Digital World, I'm sure he's bound to get his own partner. Let's just hope he doesn't get stuck with Etemon."

"What does an Etemon to do with me?" Phillipe asked, with a sweat drop forming over his forehead.

"Aren't you a singer? I'll bet if we meet an Etemon there, he will want get you not only as a Tamer, but also a singing partner."

As Kazu finished talking, Phillipe visualized scary image of Etemon and himself on the stage. They were dressed like heavy metal singers and playing numerous rock n roll themes. Before he could get shake those messed-up images out of his mind, Kuzuhamon suddenly pushed Kazu away from Phillipe. Then, to everyone's surprise and Renamon's annoyance, she hugged him tightly as she's always done to Inumon.

"What are you talking about, brat? He's going to be my partner!" Kuzuhamon giggled happily, caressing the boy's hair.

"Ce qui?" Phillipe blurted out 'what' in French and attempted to breath.

"What's your name, kid?"

"Ph-Phillipe..."

"Having Phillipe-chan as a partner, nothing will stop us! Then I can finally defeat Renamon! HAHAHAHA!" Kuzuhamon laughed out in triumph like a maniac.

The Tamers and the digimon sweat dropped at the scene. They all felt sorry for Phillipe, who's attempting to break free from Kuzuhamon's grip. Renamon growled as she wished to knock Kuzuhamon out cold. Inumon covered his face in shame and sighed deeply in embarrassment.

"Sorry to break the news, Kuzuhamon, but I don't think you two can be partners," Inumon spoke up, catching the crazy female's attention.

"Huh? Why not?" Kuzuhamon whined like a bratty child. "He doesn't have a partner and I don't have either! We're perfect for each other!"

"Well, for one thing, Phillipe would have to choose you as a partner before you actually become partners," explained Inumon.

"That's how it works? The human needs to choose me?"

"That's right. If you keep hugging Phillipe like that, I doubt he will choose you as a partner."

Then, Kuzuhamon released Phillipe out from her grip. The young boy gasped out for any refreshing air after having been nearly hugged to death. Now he was sure he didn't want to have Kuzuhamon as a partner. He already has enough problems with Saya being a crazy fan girl. He didn't want his household to be overrun with two lunatics.

"But I can still protect him, right?" Kuzuhamon asked, smiling.

"And who's going to protect me from you?" Phillipe exclaimed, backing away from the digimon.

"Don't worry Phillipe. I know Jaguarmon's going to keep an eye on her when we arrive at the Amazon Kingdom," Felinismon reassured the boy.

"Jaguarmon?"

"She's Athenamon's heir," Ranamon answered the boy's question. "Make sure to not call her kitty or else she will shock you for that."

Suddenly, as the conversation carried on, a gateway portal leading to the Digital World opened. Phillipe, Ranamon and the digimon were ready to go to the Digital World and aid the Amazons.

"Kuzuhamon, just make sure you don't mess anything up this time," Inumon warned the crazy female.

"Don't worry, my sweet doggy," Kuzuhamon responded, winking at the dark canine. "When we get there, you will see Phillipe and I become partners. Then, with him serving as my partner, I can finally defeat Renamon!"

"I doubt that's ever going to happen," everyone, including Renamon, thought.

At last, the Tamers and their digimon, along with Phillipe, Ranamon and Kuzuhamon, were ready to depart. One by one, they crossed over through the portal. Kazu and Kenta waved out to their friends.

"We'll be sure not to do anything stupid, guys! We're going to prove ourselves to you!" the boys called out in unison.

"Don't worry, Himura-kun! We'll be back and Phillipe will be just fine with us!" Jeri called out to the metal-elemental warrior.

Before Phillipe crossed the portal, he turned to glance at Himakko. The metal warrior nodded and smiled to his friend.

"Go and get them, Phillipe!" Himura wished his friend luck, forming a 'V' for victory using his fingers. "I am expecting you to become like one of us Tamers."

"Yeah, and sure thing it's not going to be Kuzuhamon," Phillipe nodded and waved out. "Goodbye, Himura! You and the others be careful out there! My heart goes out to you four!"

With that said, the boy faced the direction of the portal and jumped through to join the B-team Tamers. The portal finally closed up and left the four main Tamers behind with their digimon. Himakko let out a deep sigh and turned to face the direction Suzakato was leading them.

"Be safe Suzie and Jaarin," Henbu mentally wished his sisters luck. "Takato, it's time we get moving."

"Yeah and I'll bet Yugi's group will probably be at Kaiba Corp," Seirika nodded in reply.

"Right, it's not too far from here now, guys! I'm sure we can find them there if they hadn't departed elsewhere. Follow me! Guilmon, you make sure to grab onto me and not let go."

"Ok, Takato!"

"Hey! I never thought I'd see you guys here!" Agunimon called out, advancing towards the Tamers. "Takato! Rika! Henry! Himura!"

"Takuya! Oh, man, it's good to see you!" Suzakato responded.

"Man, it's a mess out there! The others and I barely managed to escape before the numbers became too overwhelming! So, where are you guys heading?"

"To Kaiba Corp," Seirika replied, answering the flame warrior's question.

"Mind if we join you? Izumi and the others are just about a block from here."

"Yes, we'd appreciate it," Renamon nodded. "Thank you."

"Then, we had better hurry. There's no telling when those aliens will find us," Agunimon suggested.

"Yeah, let's move everyone," Suzakato said, leading the group.

With that said, the group advanced across towards Kaiba Corps in hopes of meeting with Yugi and company. With Kazu and the others aiding the Amazons in the Digital World, the main Tamers would remain in the real world to defend their city against the Rajita. Most importantly, it was time to convince Kaiba that it was time to unite with the Dragon Knights.

Domino City/Kaiba Corporation/Simulation Room/1:15 AM

Having successfully evacuated everyone from his simulation room, Kaiba returned back to check on the progress on his project. He faced a large monitor screen and pressed a button to project a three-dimensional image of the gateway. A smile crossed the CEO's smug face as the systems showed their progress. The gateway was at 80 stability and rising rapidly. The two worlds would then successfully merge just as he always planned. Seven months of work would finally pay off.

"At long last, this project will be complete and no aliens are going to stop me," Kaiba grinned at the monitor screen. "This is what I've been waiting for. I can't let anyone interfere with the progression of MY dream. This will forever cement my company as the most powerful corporation on the planet. I would say my retirement from Duel Monsters is exactly the boost I needed."

Just as he turned around to observe a doorway materializing within the gateway, his smile grew even wider. His vision of Duel Monsters and digimon sharing a world would attract millions. He would capitalize off the success and forever be known as the most powerful mogul alive.

"I dare say even Bill Gates, Donald Trump and the other chumps will have no choice but bow at my feet," Kaiba once again spoke highly of himself.

"Yeah, I'm sure you'd like to rub it in their faces, wouldn't ya?" the Brooklyn accent of Joey Wheeler was heard.

The elder Kaiba turned around quickly and found the source of the quip. Standing in the doorway to the room were Joey, 'Atemu' Yugi, Tea, Tristan and Duke. Seeing these five was not exactly whom Kaiba wanted to receive a surprise visit from. Taking his eyes off Joey, he turned towards Yugi and the others.

"Hey, look at me when I'm talking to ya, you rich punk!"

"Sorry, but I'm at the pinnacle of my success. I don't have time to be dealing with the likes of you, Wheeler. But, I'm surprised you managed to get here."

"Well, your security systems seem to be out," Tea replied. "Mind explaining to me what you're doing here?"

"She's right, Kaiba. You have to get out of here. There are swarms of those things out there in Tokyo!" Tristan stated, observing the gate. "Wow..."

"Who are you to tell me to leave my project before it is complete? Besides, I'm not leaving until Mokuba gets here."

"Is that the reason why you've been here?" Yugi asked his former rival.

"That and to see my project at its completion. Only 15 left until it is finished."

"Wait, so what are you attempting to do with this toy of yours?" Duke asked, looking at the gate. "Doesn't seem like any state of the art gaming system."

"Well, since you geeks managed to get here with my security systems shut down, I could just explain to you," Kaiba crossed his arms, with a smug look on his face.

"Yeah, tell us what this thing is," Joey said.

"All right, if by any chance..."

"No, Mokuba will come. I know he will, Yugi. You know it, too."

"When he gets here, you have to come with us. I know you are the third Dragon Knight."

"What are you talking about?"

"Joey and I received the power of our dragons during a battle with one of the monsters. These are the same Legendary Dragons that guided us in the conflict with the Orichalcos. They have returned to aid us to battle this new threat that has threatened the planet."

"What? Dragons?" Kaiba said, as he recalled the 'dream' earlier. "But that can't be true. Did that even take place? It felt real yet..."

"Kaiba, you must realize this threat is real. There is no ancient sorcery or shadow magic involved here. You, Joey and I have been chosen as the Three Dragon Knights who are to defeat the ones who originated the Orichalcos source. We know that the stones have greatly altered the planet for the past thousands of years."

"Listen to him, Kaiba, if you know what's good for you," Tea nodded as she faced the CEO.

"I've been chosen to represent Timaeus," Yugi stated and turned to face Joey. "Joey has been reunited with Hermos. Kaiba, you represent the knight of Critias. Please, we need you. By uniting as one, we can aid our comrades."

"You mean like those Tamer friends of yours?"

"Yes, them, the Legendary Warriors, the Sailor Senshi and those Spirit Warriors. All of them are engaged in his war against the enemy. We all share one common enemy and the desire to defeat them! Kaiba, please look past any differences, realize that what is happening is real and help us."

"That's right and we're NOT taking no for an answer, Kaiba! Do ya hear me?" Joey spat out, glaring at the CEO.

Hearing this spat from both teens, Kaiba scoffed and walked past them. His attention was entirely on the KC-Hypnos Project. It was already at 87 and nearing completion.

"Hey, we're talking to you!"

"Oh do be quiet, Wheeler," Kaiba remarked out of annoyance. "Yugi, this is a battle you and your friends can take part on your own. I want nothing to do with this."

"Kaiba! Realize that you're brother is out there! You don't want to risk putting him in danger with those monsters becoming a serious global threat! Dartz is nothing compared to this!"

"Like I said, I could care less as long as I complete this project. My dream will at last be complete. I will have finally accomplished by goal of becoming the world's most successful business owner."

"As usual, Kaiba gripes about his own ego and lust for money," Duke sighed as he rubbed his temples. "He's like a freaking brick wall."

"When Mokuba gets here, then I will leave with him. I will show him my project firsthand and then we will leave for our mansion."

"Kaiba, you won't have a mansion to return to if you don't help us," said Yugi. "Please, Kaiba! Wake up and realize our planet is in danger! As the warrior of Critias, you are to carry out his honor!"

Glaring at Yugi, Kaiba crossed his arms and walked past him. The spiky-haired teen tried to stop him but immediately restrained himself.

"It's no use, Yug. He's not going to help us. This is Kaiba we're talking about here," Joey said, sitting on the ground. "There, Kaiba! I just spat on the ground you walk on, Mr. High and Mighty. He could care less if aliens come and take his soul."

"Joey, that's enough!" Tea scolded the blonde teen.

"Sorry, Tea," Joey apologized and sighed. "But, you know how I can be with this punk."

"I could care less what you call me but you will always be beneath me. If Yugi can't convince me to help you, then what makes you think you can, Wheeler? The chances of you and I teaming are the same as a snowball's in hell. Get used to bowing before me, Wheeler."

"Ok, that's it! Yug, I knew this was a bad idea!" Joey growled, yelling out in anger. "C'mon, guys, we're out of here. This was just a waste of our time. Ha, us asking for Kaiba's help?"

"WHOA! Now this is so cool!" a pair of voices called out from the background.

Everyone inside the room turned around to find Agunimon, Suzakato, the other Tamer Beasts, the five Legendary Warriors and the digimon walking in. Seto once again felt insulted to be interrupted by more uninvited guests. However, Yugi and his friends were more than happy to see them again.

"Takato! Takuya!" Yugi called out to the two flame warriors.

"Yugi? Hey, look! They're all here!" Suzakato said, pointing to the group.

"Well, this is awesome. We're all reunited. It's just like the good old days when we dealt with Pharaohmon," Agunimon smiled, walking towards Yugi.

"Hey, Tea, it's been a while," Fairymon said, hugging the teen.

"You, too, Izumi."

"How's it going, Junpei?" Tristan approached Blitzmon and slapped him a high-five.

"It's been tough since we just got back from a run-in with those creeps."

"Tomoki, good to see you, kid," Duke kneeled beside Chakkoumon and shook his hand.

"You, too, Duke. It's good to see you all again."

"Kouji and Kouichi! Man, I'm glad to see ya two!" Joey approached Wolfmon and Loweemon.

"Well, we did last meet each other back at the bridge," Wolfmon replied, shaking Joey's hand.

"It wasn't that long ago," Loweemon said.

"I have got to say, Takato. You and the Tamers are looking great in those new forms of yours," Yugi said, studying Suzakato's form.

"We just got back from talking with a messenger and you won't believe what we were told," Himakko spoke up.

"You guys received a messenger? Well, we just talked to one earlier," Yugi stated, recalling the conversation with Takenaka.

"Did it look like a werewolf?" Tristan asked the Tamers.

"Yeah, it sure was and it was goggle head's teacher," Seirika said.

"Yeah and she was all fuzzy! You wouldn't believe it!" Guilmon explained.

"No way! So, you had an encounter with another werewolf!" Joey exclaimed. "So, you know about those Sailors losing their..."

"Yeah, they lost Sailor Moon to those monsters," Henbu stated. "Those werewolves are apparently friends of hers. So, it's up to us to help the Sailors rescue their leader."

"Not to mention saving the souls of the people of Earth," Inumon nodded.

"Anyway, can anyone tell me what that thing is over there?" Wolfmon asked, pointing to Kaiba's project.

"Yeah, Kaiba was just going to explain to us what this thing really is," Yugi nodded in reply.

"Looks like Kaiba's been keeping himself busy if you ask me," Blitzmon remarked.

Clearing his throat, Kaiba faced everyone in the room and crossed his arms. The arch-shaped gate was currently at 95 before completion. Everyone had their eyes on Kaiba as he informed them about his revolutionary project.

"I was hoping to wait for Mokuba to arrive, but since the whole band of geeks decided to show up, I thought I'd give you a little detail on this project I've been working on. It's been seven months and now my goal will finally be realized, for this is a gateway that will allow me access into Digital World."

"What! You can't be serious!" Suzakato exclaimed. "You now have access to the Digital World!"

"It was a simple task with Yamaki's help, though building the actual arch was a difficult process. I had to make the designs perfect. If I'm able to gain access to my own Virtual World, then the Digital World should be no different. Call this a secret passage and I'm the one with the key."

"That's putting it into perspective," Henbu remarked.

"But that's not all," Kaiba continued on. "With this, I can open a hole between the two worlds: the Digital World and my Virtual World. Then, the two worlds will rift and combine successfully. I will have managed to combine the two worlds. I will attract millions with this. Digimon and Duel Monsters sharing one world will lead to my theme park's latest attractions!"

"What! You don't mean to combine both the Digital World and your Virtual World?" Suzakato gasped, once hearing Kaiba's official announcement.

"Don't you see you're making a mistake here, Kaiba?" Henbu exclaimed. "Yamaki and Hypnos couldn't hope to control the digimon. What makes you think you can?"

"What you're doing is upsetting the balance of two worlds! We have enough problems on our own planet as it is!" Agunimon cried out. "Our friends from the Digital World are going to have problems with this and they will know you're behind this!"

"So, this is what you've been planning this whole time, Kaiba?" Duke asked, facing his business rival. "I don't like where this is leading."

"You are all in panic and I'm not surprised," Kaiba continued on. "I've checked for every possible bug and my designs are flawless. This doorway will not hurt the boundaries that much. In fact, it will merely be a fusion of two worlds."

"But how can you be so sure? What if you're wrong? This is seriously dangerous. You're putting the Digital World at serious risk here!" Himakko exclaimed. "Anubimon and my friends are there!"

"I'm sure all of your digi-friends will be fine. It is simply a wormhole forming between the two worlds. This will allow passage for digimon and my Duel Monsters to crossover."

"Introducing a new species into a native habitat nearly always ends up with catastrophic results," Loweemon stated.

"Well, not this one. I have concluded that the Duel Monsters will adapt in their new habitats in the Digital World. They both share the same ecosystem. I saw just how real digimon can be and I can confirm the Duel Monsters will evolve into real monsters. They have long evolved from being simple holograms. We're looking at the next stage of a cyberspace universe. Soon, it will be easy for humans to crossover."

"Kaiba, I cannot believe you are attempting something as foolish as this," Yugi said, with a serious demeanor. "By orchestrating this, you will have hurt the Digital World. Have you even thought about the possibility of the evil digimon that lurk in the Digital World? Pharaohmon's old henchmen are still lurking and will no doubt find easy access through your doorway."

"Not as long as I install firewalls. Only I can have the keys in opening the hole," Kaiba replied. "My computers can automatically activate and deactivate firewalls to keep unwanted intruders from entering or leaving."

"You're also forgetting the fact that there are data streams that transport digimon to different location, including allowing them to bio-emerge into the human world," Inumon informed the CEO. "What are you going to do about that problem?"

"That problem has been dealt with, and will pose no threat in the future."

"There is no future as long as those creatures are still invading our world. You won't have any financial success if you end up getting killed," Tea spoke up. "Kaiba, I didn't think you'd be this reckless."

"Are you questioning me?" Kaiba glared at the brunette.

"Maybe I am, and you don't seem to understand the threat these monsters pose. They've taken the leader of the Sailor Senshi and there's no telling what new lows they will stoop to destroy humans!"

"Like I said, it's not my problem and it certainly will not have any difference on this project," Kaiba scoffed.

"Look!" Chakkoumon pointed to the display. "It's reached 100!"

Turning around, a smile crossed the CEO's face. He looked at the large monitor and watched as the arch started to hum. Then, a multi-colored sphere started to materialize between the doorways. The groups gathered away from the gateway and watched the sphere spreading out across the door to the 'link' between the real and the Digital World. Kaiba has successfully managed to create a digital doorway and it was all thanks to assistance from Yamaki's team.

"You're witnessing history," Kaiba stated. "Two worlds will become one and I will unveil it to the whole world. The Digital World will no longer be kept a secret from the public."

"You have to stop this, Kaiba. You obviously have no idea what you're doing!" Henbu exclaimed. "Even if there are no bugs in the system, you simply can't merge two worlds without any severe consequences taking place."

"Disrupting two ecosystems will only make matters worse," Renamon said.

"Heed their warnings, Kaiba. Stop this now before matters get worse. We need you to help us against the new enemy," Yugi stated, warning Kaiba.

"I don't have to do anything but bask in glory of my accomplishment. Oh and don't even attempt to deactivate the device. Only I know the password to activate its shutdown system."

"Then, put in the code and shut that thing down!" Joey demanded.

"Sorry, but you are not inclined to give me orders, Wheeler. This is MY project!"

Yugi sighed. "Kaiba, despite what you have done, I can see that you're tired. Perhaps you should go home and get some rest."

"And what if Mokuba comes and I'm not here?"

"Then he'll probably know that you went home, and will head there himself," Tea responded.

Kaiba leered at the other duelists, who leered right back at him.

"Fine! If it will get you geeks out of my hair, I'll go home," Kaiba said as he pushed his way past the others.

"One last thing, Kaiba," Yugi called out. "Don't deny the fact that you are one of the three Dragon Knights, Kaiba. There will come the time when you are called upon in battle. We need you, Kaiba. There is no way the Dragon Knights can be complete without the three of us working together."

Hearing this from Yugi, Kaiba stopped for a moment and recalled the 'dream' earlier. He remembered pulling the sword out of the Critias ice sculpture and becoming fused with the dragon's mystic powers. He claimed that it had felt 'real' but he wasn't convinced he wields the power of Critias. He refused to acknowledge that he would be needed in the war against the Rajita. However, he also recalled the Dark Magician Girl telling him that his power will enable him to protect his brother.

"Kaiba, what do you say?" Yugi asked.

"We need you, Kaiba. Our teams have to be complete if we are to win against these invaders. The military isn't going to cut it. This is a battle meant for us," Suzakato stated, attempting to change Kaiba's mind.

"Man, are you ever so damn stubborn, Kaiba!" Joey seethed. "We're asking for help! Is that too much to ask from someone who hides behind money?"

"This is not my problem. Now, if you'll excuse me," Kaiba walked away from the group. "I've already accomplished what I set out to do and now all I can do is wait for the doorway to link the worlds."

"Argh, we have to convince him! If he doesn't join us, then we can just forget about him," Himakko remarked.

"But we have to convince him! There has to be a way!" Tea said.

"I swear Yugi. How do you even put up with him?" Wolfmon asked.

"I know. He's way too stubborn to understand," Chakkoumon nodded in agreement.

"Somehow I think he knows but he simply wants to get Mokuba out of harms way," Yugi responded, giving his own insight on Kaiba.

"Well, I say we might not need him. I mean look at us, Yug. We're Dragon Knights. Don't forget we have the Legendary Warriors and the Tamers. We're all the help the Sailors and the Spirit Detectives need. Who needs Kaiba?"

"We need him, Joey. Whether we can put up with his arrogance or not, his assistance is required."

"Yugi is right, Joey," Agunimon said. "I really do believe that Lyn girl will convince him."

"What do you think, Takato?" Guilmon asked his Tamer.

"I don't know, but I'm sure Kaiba will come around. He has to," Suzakato said, patting Guilmon's head.

"Now what do we do?" Blitzmon asked and looked around his surroundings.

"Well, we can't stop the project. Since Kaiba has it locked, we can't activate the shutdown system without the password," Henbu said.

"How about we shut it down with some force?" Terriermon suggested. "I'd like to kick that thing down!"

"No, or we might do more damage to the link. I can't imagine Kaiba ever pulling this one off," Loweemon stated.

"To think he's going to be opening a hole within the fabric between two digital-based worlds. I just wonder how the Sovereigns and the Dra-Warriors are going to handle this," Seirika wondered, showing concern for the digimon inhabitants.

"Not to mention Seraphimon, Ophanimon and Cherubimon," Fairymon said.

"Last I checked Ryo and Cyberdramon were still in the Digital World," Henbu spoke up. "I hope they've managed to get out of there."

"In any case, we really can't be here. We should be out stopping the Rajita in anyway possible," Suzakato reminded everyone.

"That's right. I'm sure we can find a way to resolve the problems the Digital World. Our digimon friends and the Sovereigns should find a method out of their situation. We have our own world to defend."

"So, that's what has been bothering Seraphimon. Man, why do I have a feeling things are only going to get uglier?" Agunimon thought. "Listen, everyone. I know this is going to sound wrong but we should just go and stop the Rajita. We're needed here to defend our home."

"But, how can we..."

"No questions, Takato. Seraphimon told us Legendary Warriors to defend our own world. Those were our orders and we must carry them out. If by any chance we defeat the Rajita, then we can save our digimon comrades."

"Well, I can't argue with you there, Takuya," Suzakato nodded.

"The question is how long will this battle with the aliens last. We can't allow this to drag on any further than it already has," Yugi spoke up and thought to himself telepathically. "If what the Lycans said about Sailor Moon being captured is true, then we have ourselves a tremendous war at hand. I hope grandpa managed to escape. I fear for what might have happened to him. In fact, I'm worried for Joey's sister and Rebecca and her grandfather, too. The fate of mankind hangs in the balance and it is up to us to stop them."

Above Earth's Orbit/Interior of Mother ship/Tavern Area/1:20 AM

Within the confines of Ghidorah's mother ship, there was a large gathering in the ship's tavern. There were numerous round tables spread out across the room. Rajita soldiers that had returned from their duties drank and socialized with each other. Many laughed and told stories about their exposure on Earth.

Suddenly, the soldiers stopped chattering amongst themselves as Morpheous arrived at the scene. The grunt legions all sat up and gave the general respective salutes. The general acknowledged the soldiers and walked inside. He turned to the left corner of the tavern to spot two of his fellow generals.

Sitting together and laughing were Nagah and Kujiko. Several glasses surrounded the two generals. Morpheous noticed that they were both drunk and listened to their frequent hiccups. The two generals embraced one another and balled out laughing. Morpheous sat down next to the generals and ordered himself a glass.

"So, you two been drinking merrily?" Morpheous asked his fellow generals. "Nagah, this is rather strange. You normally don't drink this much. Are you that excited about your victory over the Sailor Soldiers?"

Ignoring his question, Nagah poured another glass of Rajita sake and quickly swallowed it. Her eyes became glazed over and a shade of red covered her face. She let out a loud unladylike belch. Morpheous coughed to himself.

"Excuse you."

"HA! YOU BURP LIKE ME!" Kujiko laughed out in a drunken manner. "YOU DRINK LIKE MAN!"

"And I'm just getting started!" Nagah giggled, blushing and waving her hand. "Oh, Morpheous! Come on and have a drink with us!"

"I think I'll pass."

"Yeah? How come you're here ordering a drink?" the female nudged Morpheous' shoulder. "Eh? Eh?"

"I'm sorry but I only came for a drink or two. You and Kujiko can enjoy yourselves."

"BAH! PFFT!" Nagah whined, sticking her tongue out at Morpheous. "You're no fun!"

"DRINK AND BE MERRY, MORPHEOUS!" Kujiko bellowed out and burped loudly.

"Lay off, would you!" the general backed away and grabbed his drink.

Before Morpheous realized it, Nagah was rubbing herself including her large-bust chest against the general. Giggling madly, Nagah poked Morpheous in the arm.

"Poke! Poke! C'mon, laugh!" Nagah said, attempting to tickle Morpheous. "God, Mo, you're such a stiff! Well, I don't know about you, boys, but I have an urge to have sing and dance!" Nagah looked across the room and immediately had an idea.

"I don't think so, Nagah. You're clearly drunk!"

"Oh shut it, Morpheous. Hum, let's see," Nagah said as she noticed a performance stage. "Oooo, now this is a perfect setting. You wait here, boys. I'll be right back! Tee-hee!"

Walking off from the tavern, the female general walked to the back. Morpheous feared what crazy idea the female general had in mind. He noticed her walking into the ladies' dressing room.

"Nagah, just what are you up to?"

"Oh, relax, General Morpheous. Whatever she's up to, I'm sure we'll enjoy it," Zimmy, the Rajita bartender, said, cleaning glasses.

"But, this isn't like her to drink this much before. She's been acting rather peculiar since defeating the Sailor Senshi."

"Well, she's just celebrating. Let her enjoy the victory," Zimmy replied.

"I suppose," sighed Morpheous. "But..."

Before Morpheous could finish his sentence, the door of the ladies' dressing room burst open. The two generals stopped to look at what was an unlikely sight. Even the soldiers in the tavern looked towards Nagah and eyed. Numerous whistles from the male soldiers were heard throughout the crowd.

"Nagah! Is that really you!" Morpheous exclaimed as his mouth dropped and eyes widened.

The female general had completely stripped herself of her battle armor and was garbed in a more feminine outfit. This was a surprising twist since Nagah was considered a 'tomboy' and treated like an equal amongst the males. The outfit she was wearing was unlike anything she would ever wear. She wore a black spaghetti-string leotard and there was a silver image of a broken heart on the front. Her short skirt was violet with black trimmed edges. Her legs were covered with black fishnet pantyhose and her elbow-length gloves were of the same material. The shoes were black and in high-heel platforms. On top of her head was a large, purple bow. Around her waist were pairs of chains and a gothic doll key chain attached to her right side. The general's hair was let loose and hanging down her back. A cheery and happy smile crossed the female's face. However, the most notable feature of the general was her chest and the amount of skin showing.

"Na-Nagah!" Morpheous gawked at the female general. "Why are you dressed like that!"

"Yeah! Me knew Nagah was woman!" Kujiko whistled out to the female general.

"Nagah's looking sexy tonight!" a soldier hollered out.

Giggling to herself, Nagah blew kisses to the soldiers and walked over towards the tavern. Morpheous couldn't figure out the sudden transformation in Nagah's behavior. Nagah has never brought herself to show off to Rajita men. However, he can only guess that the large quantities of sake had warped her mind completely.

"Nagah, I think you've had enough for the night," Morpheous stopped in front of Nagah.

"Bah, you no fun! Even Kujiko knows how to have fun! WEE! Look at me! I'm a fairy!" Nagah spun around several tables and giggled madly. "C'est la vie!"

"Nagah! Please, stop this!" Morpheous called out. "I can only come to one conclusion. She never took into account that she would gain the personality traits of the Senshi when she absorbed their power. I have to imagine that one of them has completely warped Nagah's mind with this barbaric behavior!"

Hopping into the lap of a Draconian Guardian, Nagah winked at the soldier and crossed her legs. Once spreading her legs out, the soldier fell backwards and got a nosebleed. The female hopped on top of the table and performed a belly dance for her soldiers. Then, followed it with a hip shake and performed a pole dance.

"Oh, yes! I feel great, boys! How about we have ourselves some fun?"

"You go, girl! Show us a great time!" another soldier hollered out.

"Ask and ye shall receive," the female winked and hopped onto the stage.

Observing the stage, Nagah picked up a microphone and tapped her hand over it. She cleared her throat and began to speak out.

"Testing! Testing! One! Two!"

"Nagah! Please, get off the stage! If Lord Ghidorah finds out about this, you're going to be in trouble!"

"Just buzz off, Mo!" Nagah scoffed and formed an 'L' using her left hand. "LOSER! This place has no room for your kind!"

"Argh, Kujiko! Help me out here!"

"GO NAGAH! GO! SING FOR US!" Kujiko clapped his hands and hiccupped.

Spinning around and snapping her fingers, a spotlight shone down over the female general. The audience waited in anticipation for Nagah's performance.

"GO NAGAH! GO!"

Nagah hiccupped and attempted to hold herself in balance. She held the microphone in her mouth and started singing with a loud screech. Soldiers within the tavern covered their ears from the ear-piercing screeches of the female general.

"AH! ANYTHING YOU CAN DO I CAN DO BETTER!" Nagah sang out while spinning and performing a leg-split. "Oh yeah! I can do anything better than you!"

"ME EARS! THEY HURT!" Kujiko complained while covering his ears.

"Horrible! Stop the pain!" a soldier complained.

"You see? I always knew Nagah was a horrible singer!" Morpheous stated, making his point. "It was a good thing she remained a soldier. If she had taken a singing career, we would all be doomed!"

"Please, stop the pain!" Zimmy cried out, watching the glasses around him shattering.

"Oh yeah! Anything you can do I can do better!" Nagah continued singing.

Finding himself a microphone from the floor, Morpheous picked it off the floor. He gave it a test by blowing on it and then spoke out against Nagah.

"Get off the stage, Nagah! I mean it this time!"

"So, you think you're better than me, buddy boy?" the female tapped her foot and glared at Morpheous. "I'll have you know that I'm an idol singer! Everyone across the galaxy will love my angelic voice! I will become a star of millions!"

"The only fans you'll get are the deaf Juikos of Planet Yarv," Morpheous replied. "Now get off the stage. Your singing is horrible and we're all going to go deaf because of you!"

"Ha! You think you can compete with me? Me? I'm Nagah the Idol for goodness sakes!" Nagah pointed herself.

"You're not acting like yourself and I'll bet it's because of your stealing other peoples' powers. I say you gained the personality of one of the Sailor Senshi. Now, you've allowed this barbaric personality to completely warp your brain!"

"Me no warp nothing!" Nagah quipped, sticking her tongue out.

"How barbaric! Get off the stage!"

"I don't think so! Not when I have my adoring fans to perform for! I have at least twenty more songs to go and since you interrupted me..." Nagah said, advancing towards Morpheous. "You and I are going to dance!"

"I beg you pardon?"

"YEAH! You and me dance! I hope you've got rhythm!"

With that said, Nagah pulled Morpheous towards her and began to dance the tango with him. The soldiers watched the two generals dancing on stage and whistled out for Nagah. Apparently, her short skirt allowed the males to get a view of her backside. They even started to pull out cameras and snapped pictures of Nagah like crazy. This was a momentous occasion for them since the female general never did anything of this nature.

"Now, let's step forward, partner!" Nagah giggled, while accidentally stepping on Morpheous' feet.

"OW! OW! My feet!" Morpheous winced as the Nagah's heels stamped over his feet. "You're stepping on my feet you stupid bitch!"

"Me no stupid!" Nagah pulled the male towards her and tossed him up into mid-air.

"NAGAH!"

"Tee-hee! Now to wait! Three! Two! One!"

Then, right on cue, Morpheous landed back into Nagah's waiting arms. She set him down and winked to him. He looked down at his feet and kneeled over to hold them. Nagah turned around and took a bow to the audience. Turning around, Nagah bowed to Morpheous and bent across far enough that the backside of her skirt ripped open. The male soldiers all whistled out in unison and took pictures of the female general's exposed ass. Normally, a lady would be embarrassed and run off stage, but not Nagah. She turned to face the audience and blew kisses to them. She enjoyed every minute of the spotlight and gained a new fan following.

Unbeknownst to her, though, she has now gained the warped personality of one Minako Aino. She now thought, spoke and acted like the blonde bombshell. She would remain this way for twenty-four hours after the moment of contact.

"Well, this is a new side of Nagah we've never seen before. I have to say that I'd like to see this side of her more often," Zimmy commented. "Though, she should stay away from singing."

"Yeah! Nagah has nice butt!" Kujiko called out and inhaled another shot glass.

"Ugh, to what new lows will this new personality push you, Nagah? I fear the worst is still to come," Morpheous thought.

Outside of Kuiiza's Laboratory/1:30 AM

Confined within his laboratory, Kuiiza observed his security monitors to get a glimpse of the captured prisoners. He watched a cell containing Larry, Hayata and Sara on one monitor, and a cell in which Mika and Maya were being held prisoner on another. However, the one cell that Kuiiza was showing the most interest in was a cell containing the recently captured Lycan, Okami, and his wife, Suzuno.

A twisted, perverted grin crossed the general's face.

"Seeing that you don't have the Moon Heart Crystal, Lord Ghidorah has given me full control over your fate, Lycan. The horrors I have planned for you will be the most grotesque torture you will ever endure. There is no one that can save you now. Then, once I'm done with you, your beloved will be next."

Turning around to glare at another monitor, his eyes found the children he captured earlier during the invasion.

"However, I think I should get started on you, brats. You are fools to believe I will simply give you new abilities, for you, too, will experience a sickening and excruciating pain like you've never seen before!" Kuiiza snickered with a snake-like tongue sticking out. "Yessss, it will be a pleasure to transform you into my mutant soldiers. You will give up your humanity in exchange for the gifts I will bestow upon you."

Just then, as he glared at another monitor, the screen turned black and then a racecar game was displayed. The general was caught by complete surprise and his mouth dropped.

"Wha-What is this atrocity!"

"It's a game, stupid!" the voice of Nagah was overheard.

"Nagah! Just what is the meaning of this!"

Storming out of his security room, Kuiiza found Nagah sitting down and playing a popular racecar game. She was still dressed in her idol outfit and waving innocently to Kuiiza. Needless to say, Kuiiza was none too happy to see the female playing games on his workstations.

"Nagah! Get the hell away from my work! This isn't a place for you to play your... Wait a second. You never play racing games! What has gotten into you?"

"Wha...? You know I love racing games, Kuiiza! You're such a fruitcake," Nagah scoffed and continued playing. "WOOT! I'm so damn good! Kuiiza, from this day forth you shall refer to me as the Queen of Games! How's that for a title?"

"I say you've absorbed enough from the Sailor Senshi. Now with all their personalities jumbled in your head, you've gone completely insane! Here, allow me to see for myself."

Picking up a helmet, he placed it over Nagah's head and pressed a button. Nagah sat looking up at the helmet and crossed her arms.

"What's this for?"

"To see which personality has dominated your mind, dear Nagah," Kuiiza examined the helmet.

A beam projected out of the helmet and revealed an image of the one personality that has poisoned Nagah's warrior mind. Hologram images of Minako Aino and Sailor Venus appeared before Nagah's eyes, including images of Mina's most wacky moments.

"WOO HOO! IT'S ME!" Nagah giggled and jumped to her feet. "Am I that good or what? No wonder I have so many adoring fans!"

"No, you are not a Sailor Senshi! You are Nagah!"

"Of course, but I am Sailor Venus! I am the Goddess of Love and Beauty! Not to mention the best damn idol singer in Japan!" Nagah pointed and cut off Kuiiza.

"Stop and come to your senses!"

"Bah, you have no control over me! No, it's time I punish you!" Nagah stated, striking a pose that was exactly like Sailor Venus'.

"Don't you have to train your soldiers at this hour?"

"They can wait. I'm simply just too lazy to do anything since this is my night!" Nagah spun around and pressed herself onto Kuiiza. "You know I'm feeling a little hot in here."

"Restrain yourself!"

"C'mon now," Nagah winked as she pulled down on the zipper of her leotard top. "I am feeling a little hot now. Mind if I unzip myself?"

"Get... That human wench has completely cursed you!"

"As the Goddess of Love and Beauty, allow me to show you a good time, Kuiizy-chan," Nagah giggled like a schoolgirl and removed her top.

Letting her leotard top to drop to the floor, Kuiiza gasped out and jumped away from the female general. The half-naked, drunken female put her hands behind her head while moaning out in sexual ecstasy.

"Come over and give me a massage. Little Nagah-chan needs a man's touch," Nagah said while giving the sad puppy-dog eye look. "Please, Kuiizy-chan?"

"Kuiizy-chan? What a repulsive name you refer to your fellow general by!" Kuiiza exclaimed. "Just wait another twenty-one hours and I assure you that you will be back to normal."

"I am normal, Kuiizy-chan! Why are you being such a meanie?" Nagah pouted and picked up her leotard top.

As her eyes teared up, Nagah ran out of Kuiiza's laboratory and left the general alone. Kuiiza let out a sigh of relief and activated the security systems. All of the doors were locked and prohibited anyone, save Kaiser Ghidorah himself, to enter without his permission.

"Oh Great Leviathan, all I need to do is wait twenty-one hours until that wench regains her composure," Kuiiza sighed. "Now, to get to work on my test subjects... Okami, just you wait, I will have more fun torturing you and your beloved whore."

-

Pouting and walking across the hallway, Nagah placed her top back on. She angrily punched through a steel wall and removed her hand, without so much as a scratch. Nagah found herself walking inside the ladies' training room.

"Stupid Kuiiza! Him and that attitude! Ugh, as if!" Nagah complained in typical Minako fashion.

Facing the direction she walked, Nagah stuck her tongue out. Just then, a hand reached out and tapped the general on the shoulder. This caused Nagah to shriek and jump back in surprised shock. As soon as she realized who it was, she let out a sigh of relief. Standing before Nagah was a female Rajita similar to the female general in description. Except this female soldier was wearing silver armor with a black sheath attached to her side. Her hair also was braided.

"General Nagah?" the female soldier stopped and saluted her superior. "Please, excuse my eavesdropping."

"Ah, Colonel Rea," Nagah returned the salute.

"That was quite the performance you put out there, my general. I didn't know you could sing, dance and entertain like that. Perhaps, you should teach me?"

"Um, yeah, sure," Nagah shrugged.

"And an interesting fashion statement. You really turned on all of those pitiful men."

"Tell me about it. Anyway, what do you have to report?"

"Well, we've managed to conquer the major metropolises across the regions the humans refer to China, Australia and even Russia. We still have legions still warding off the defense forces of one nation in particular - the United States."

"Ah, I see. That's certainly good to know, Colonel Rea," Nagah stated, walking past the colonel and looked directly into the mirror.

Running her hand through her hair, the general winked to herself and blew a kiss directly in the mirror.

"Oh, yes, Nagah. You are so damn gorgeous!" Nagah giggled, walking backwards.

However, as she walked back, there was a bottle lying on the floor. Her left boot pressed down on the bottle and caused Nagah to lose her footing. Falling backward on her back, the general hit the back of her head on the floor.

"OW!"

"Are you all right, General Nagah?" Rea kneeled over by her superior and put an arm around her.

"Damn, my ass hurts from that fall," Nagah rubbed her backside and winced.

"You've been drinking. Have you, General Nagah?"

"How about some drinks, Rea? I'll buy."

"No way, you already smell like alcohol. You need to lie down. Come, I'll take you to your quarters."

"How about you and me play some games? We can have a sleep over!" Nagah giggled more, hiccupping and blushing madly. "Oooo, boy! The buzz is coming back!"

"I'm going to make sure you get plenty of rest, general," Rea said, carrying her general.

"All play and no work make this pretty soldier idol sad!" Nagah remarked, acting completely like Minako.

"Don't you mean: All work and no play make you sad, General Nagah?"

"Yeah, yeah, that's exactly what I meant to say," Nagah laughed out. "Rea, you are my biggest fan, did you know that?"

"Um, well, yes, I am your most loyal soldier. I'm second in command of our female rankings. We all look up to you, my lady."

"Good! Because I want every lady to look up to me as their idol! I am Pretty Soldier Nagah!"

"We're almost there now, general," Rea smiled, carrying Nagah along.

"Vorwärts Rea! Vorwärts mein größter verehrender Ventilator!" the general blurted out German language, once again thinking like Minako. (A/N: German to English translation: Onward, Rea! Onward, my biggest adoring fan!)

"EH!" Rea exclaimed, sweat dropping and feeling dumbfounded by the German her general had blurted out.

"I, Nagah, kämpft im Namen der Liebe und der Gerechtigkeit für mein geliebtes, Lord Ghidorah! Opposers des Rajita, Ich bestrafe Sie!" (I, Nagah, shall fight in the name of love and justice for my beloved, Lord Ghidorah! Opposers of the Rajita, I shall punish you!)

"Oh Leviathan, help me," the female colonel sighed, carrying Nagah down the hall corridors.

Ghidorah's Royal Chambers/1:35 AM

Entering upon the royal chambers of the warlord, Kuiiza entered and kneeled in respect. The warlord's eyes flashed green auras. A low growl was uttered from the Rajita leader, which was enough to frighten the lead general. Ghidorah stepped off his throne and looked down at his lead general.

"My lord, I have come to confirm my latest lab subject. I shall be turning those human children we have captured into mutant chimeras."

"I just hope they are worthy of fighting for our cause, Kuiiza. You are responsible for their fates."

"Thank you, my lord. I will not let you down."

"See it that you don't," Ghidorah said, his face forming a scowl. "Will the Lycan you have captured be turned into one of your soldiers?"

"In due time, my lord. Once I have converted the human children into dark soldiers, I will turn the one named Okami into one of our most ruthless chimeras."

"Excellent, and this is what he gets for not presenting the Moon Heart Crystal to me. He brought this upon himself."

"Yes, my lord. I hear our legions have already taken territory throughout the many metropolis sections of Earth."

"We still have armada ships and legions combating the American resistance."

"Those would be from the Earth's most powerful nation?"

"Yes, General Kuiiza. They have proven to be the most persistent of Earth's armed forces. However, it's not going to matter. It will only be a matter of time before our forces crush them like insects."

"Good, they will learn to never oppose our military might!"

Turning around to face a projected hologram image of Earth, numerous red dots appeared across parts of the globe. These dots indicated the exact conquered areas. Most notable are large areas of China, Japan, Australia, England, Russia, parts of Latin America, France, India, the Korean countries and sections of the Middle East. The warlord's lips curled into a cruel smile as his eyes observed each conquered area.

"Yes, this is exactly as I predicted. The other world powers do not have the efficient technology and manpower to stand up to our superiority."

"Our Orichalcos beams are also gathering souls faster than Dartz could ever hope to collect."

"Yes, I can see that, General Kuiiza. Only the Rajita know how to use the Orichalcos stones to their fullest efficiency. Now, all we have to do is conquer a few more designated targets and cut down the American forces. These monkeys are easier than I expected. Ah, well, I can't expect anyone from this side galaxy to oppose my power. After all, I have already weakened the Sailor Senshi's morale by taking their beloved Moon Princess and the Silver Crystal."

"Yes, Lord Ghidorah. It is indeed a victory we can savor. Taking the Princess and her Silver Crystal is one part of our victory. Now, all we need is..."

"All we need is the Moon heart Crystal and this galaxy will be bowing before me. Nothing, and I mean nothing, will oppose me!" Ghidorah raised his right fist, channeling green energy through it.

"A victory is surely to come, my lord."

"Yes and it will be a victory I will enjoy. Sailor Senshi and heroes of Earth, try all you might, but you CANNOT deny me my victory. No one can."

Digital World/Outside the Dra-Warrior HQ/1:35 AM

Meanwhile, with Earth currently under siege, the Digital World was also in a state of crisis. It wouldn't be long before the wormhole eliminates the boundary between this world and the Virtual World. The Sovereigns and the Three Guardian Angels were placed under high alert with their soldiers assigned to find the source of the fluctuation.

The skies were darkened and strong winds were becoming increasingly common even around the most isolated locations. Digimon were sensing a great rift changing in their environment.

Flamedramon was standing on guard outside the Dra-Warrior base after being ordered to return by Imperialdramon. He looked down at the ground and tossed a rock aside. Also keeping guard were Luzdramon and Panzerdramon.

"If we only knew what we're dealing with, we'd help Imperialdramon," Flamedramon stated, kicking a rock away.

"We were given strict orders to stand guard, Flamedramon. Just be patient," Panzerdramon sighed.

"We'll know what Imperialdramon, Ninjadramon and Herodramon have discovered," Luzdramon replied, looking across the distance.

Suddenly, before Luzdramon rubbed his eyes, an anonymous figure was seen walking from the distance. He motioned over to his fellow Dra-Warriors and whistled them over. Flamedramon and Panzerdramon raced over to their colleague to watch a figure walking directly towards them.

"Who is it?" Flamedramon asked, pointing to the figure.

"Not sure, but I'm going to send this trespasser off," Luzdramon stated, calling out to the figure. "Excuse me! Hey, you're stepping on Dra-Warrior territory!"

"Yeah, I'm sorry but we'll have to escort you away," Panzerdramon stated.

"I see Imperialdramon-sama left a bunch of rookies to guard the base," the figure spoke out in a feminine tone. "Is that anyway to speak to a veteran Dra-Warrior?"

"Eh!" the trio exclaimed at once.

The figure stepped out of the fog and revealed herself. She appeared as a female digimon wearing green armor with a golden armored vest and a black sword sheath attached to the right side of her waist. A black belt wrapped around her waist with a golden buckle at the center. Her appearance was samurai-like. Unlike the other Dra-Warriors, her facial features were feminine in appearance and on her back were a pair of large green/golden wings. The wings spread across and closed behind her back.

Needless to say, the Dra-Warriors were stunned by the appearance of this mysterious female. She was beautiful by digimon standards yet there was a certain mystery the trio could not figure out.

"How come we haven't seen you before, then?" Flamedramon approached the female. "Can you prove that you are a member of Imperialdramon's clan?"

Pulling out a golden dragon claw pendant, the female waved it out directly in Flamedramon's face. The armored digimon looked dumbfounded and shook his head.

"Ok, um, I feel stupid now," Flamedramon remarked.

"Listen," the female scoffed, "I came here to see Imperialdramon about the recent strange occurrences."

"So, you know about the wormhole Imperialdramon has found?" Panzerdramon asked.

"Yes, but all I see here are three rookies. I don't see why Imperialdramon would have chosen you three to guard the Dra-Warrior base."

"Hey, who are you calling rookies, lady!" Luzdramon exclaimed, feeling insulted.

"We're definitely no rookies!" Flamedramon nodded in agreement.

"Well, to me, you three are. Now, please tell me where Imperialdramon is."

"Ah, Samuridramon, good to see you back, my friend!" the powerful, booming voice of the Dra-Warrior leader called out.

The Dra-Warriors looked up to see Imperialdramon descending down from mid-air. He noticed Samuridramon and held out a hand. Before hopping onto the clan leader's palmed hand, she bowed in respect to her leader. Samuridramon faced Imperialdramon and placed her samurai sword down in front.

"Imperialdramon-sama, it's good to see you again."

"Wait, you know her, my lord?" Flamedramon said, pointing out at the female warrior.

"That's correct, Flamedramon. She was one of my first disciples in the Dra-Warrior clan, one of the founding members, if you will. She is a figure you must respect, to say the least."

"She's one of the founders! You mean she was the one female to join the Dra-Warrior clan since its existence!" Luzdramon gasped out.

"Yes, but calling her a female is disrespectful."

"That's right, my name is Samuridramon. Learn it well, for I am a superior officer," Samuridramon nodded, gripping her sword sheath.

"So, you've received my message, Samuridramon?"

"Yes, and I had to postpone my journey to the Glacial Continent," Samuridramon nodded.

"I'm truly sorry, Samuridramon, but I'm sure you understand the situation we're involved in."

"I understand completely. There is no need for apologizes, Imperialdramon-sama. I am here whenever you need me."

"Before we discuss business, I think these three might need a bit of convincing that you are indeed worthy of the title 'Dra-Warrior'."

"Sure, I'd like to show these three rookies just what a Dra-Warrior veteran is capable of. Now, which one of you will be my opponent?"

"I would suggest that Luzdramon and Panzerdramon fuse together and fight as Galaxiadramon," Imperialdramon suggested, putting his hand down and allowing Samuridramon to jump off.

"Galaxiadramon, huh? Well, Samuridramon, I hope you're ready to fight a Jogress-fused warrior!" Luzdramon grinning, tapping Panzerdramon's shoulder.

"Yeah! I mean, you're fighting the two of us fused into one Dra-Warrior!"

"You'd be crazy to fight Galaxiadramon," Flamedramon stated.

Simply shrugging her shoulders, Samuridramon put a hand on her sword sheath and smirked.

"Bring it on, boys," the female simply said, feeling confident of her own ability.

"Oh, that's it! You're so getting it! Luzdramon, we're going to smack that cocky smirk off her face!"

"I'm with you, partner!"

With that said, the two Dra-Warriors' forms emitted bright auras. They pressed their hands against each other and were undergoing preparations for their Jogress Fusion.

"Panzerdramon!"

"Luzdramon!"

The two demons watched as the two Dra-Warriors turned into beams of light and swirled around together. Their eyes widened in shock as they heard two words that immediately threw them for a loop.

"JOGRESS SHINKA!"

Flamedramon smiled as he watched his two partners merge into a single Dra-Warrior. The newly merged warrior stepped out of the beam of light and glared directly towards Samuridramon's direction.

"GALAXIADRAMON!"

"Well, at least you rookies are creative. I'll give you that," Samuridramon smirked. "Jogress fusions. I didn't think it was possible for Dra-Warriors to perform such a technique."

"Before you start, I'd like to say that Samuridramon here is more experienced than either Ninjadramon or Herodramon. I'm giving you fair warning to not to underestimate her."

"No way? She's more experienced than those two! Shoot, even us three together can never beat those two," Flamedramon gulped slightly. "Um, what do you say, Galaxiadramon?"

"Shoot, I'm ready for any fight! I don't care just how better they are! With us together as one, our skills and power have doubled. You're going to have a difficult time taking us as we are."

"Hmmm, no, I have to disagree. You see all you have now is more power. I still hold the experience advantage and know how to exploit all of your strengths, not to mention your weaknesses. It doesn't matter what you've become. You're still little boys who have yet to learn every form of combat."

"You're questioning our ability? We'll prove who the better swordsman is."

"Well, why don't you come at me then? Samuridramon waved her hand out.

"Well, Galaxiadramon, I think this is the perfect opportunity to show a veteran just how effective your training has become," Imperialdramon chuckled, watching the two. "Then, I will decide if I should let you aid us in stopping the supernatural force attempting to break through the boundaries. If you cannot defeat Samuridramon, then you and Flamedramon are to stay and guard the headquarters."

"C'mon, you have to win, Galaxiadramon! I've been dying to do something instead of guard duty! This is our chance!" Flamedramon pleaded out.

"Don't worry, Flamedramon, we'll take her out, no problem. We will become elites one of these days and Samuridramon will have no choice but to respect us!"

"Hey, so are you going to talk smack or are we going to get started?" Samuridramon asked, calling out to Galaxiadramon.

"Stop getting on my case already!"

Once they had settled down, the two warriors faced each other off. Samuridramon gripped her sheath. Galaxiadramon extended his hands out and summoned a blade. Imperialdramon and Flamedramon stood by as witnesses to this encounter.

The winds blew against the dirt and trailed alongside the two Dra-Warriors. Samuridramon studied her opponent closely as if reading his very thoughts and tapped one foot forward.

"Heh, what does she know? I'm a good swordsman myself," Galaxiadramon muttered, gripping his sword handle.

Then, in a split second, both warriors' eyes widened and transformed into a warriors' glare. They now viewed each other as opponents and not fellow Dra-Warriors. Taking a several steps forward, the two warriors launched out across simultaneously and prepared to attack. Samuridramon pulled her sword out of the sheath and slammed it against Galaxiadramon's. It didn't take long for them to speed blitz past each other. Then, they engaged in a typical samurai sword battle. Their swords clashed against one another and it seemed evenly matched.

However, Imperialdramon observed carefully and noticed Samuridramon was merely holding back.

"I see what you're doing, Samuridramon. You have chosen not to go all out in the sense that you realize you would dominate Galaxiadramon. However, I do not see this lasting much longer. Galaxiadramon is fighting with everything he's got but he will make a mistake. The veteran will take advantage of the rookie's grave error. Galaxiadramon, I warned you you'd be dealing with an expert Dra-Warrior."

With a push of his mighty strength, Galaxiadramon forced Samuridramon to jump back. He looked at his sword and felt it slightly vibrating. He wondered what was causing this and looked over at the female's sword. It was perfectly tranquil and in perfectly good shape.

"Why's my sword suddenly vibrating? Did she forge her sword from a stronger metal?"

Before he could say anything else, Samuridramon quickly dashed across to meet Galaxiadramon head on. The male sidestepped his adversary and slashed his sword down. Taking advantage of her opponent, Samuridramon rolled to the side to avoid the sword slash. She performed a handspring and flipped backward. Galaxiadramon went for a kick, which was dodged by the female. Samuridramon ducked to avoid contact and brought her sword down for an underhand slash. Galaxiadramon was quick to block using his sword. However, this time the sword did not vibrate. In a split second, Galaxiadramon watched as his sword shattered.

"WHAT! NO! MY SWORD!"

"Damn!" Flamedramon gasped, his mouth dropping and eyes widening. "This can't be! She broke Galaxiadramon's sword!"

Galaxiadramon fell backward and looked down at the shattered pieces of his blade. His eyes widened in disbelief. It only took another sword slash and the warrior's blade was shattered into pieces. Samuridramon landed gracefully with her sword, which was still in perfect condition. As the female Dra-Warrior held the sword, Galaxiadramon noticed it's most unique feature. For all intents and purposes, it looked like a normal katana, however, a closer examination would reveal that the cutting edge of the blade was not on the underside, facing the opponent, but on the top.

"A reverse-blade sword!" Galaxiadramon exclaimed, noticing Samuridramon's sword.

"That's correct, Galaxiadramon," Imperialdramon answered his soldier. "Reverse-blades are largely impractical in battle. As far as I know, only Samuridramon wields a reverse-blade."

"But a reverse-blade breaking Galaxiadramon's sword!" Flamedramon pointed out, still shocked.

"I had this sword crafted before my departure from the Dra-Warriors. Imperialdramon was impressed that such an impractical type of sword could be used effectively in combat."

"I can't believe this," Galaxiadramon muttered, picking up the shards of his broken blade.

"So, it's back to guarding the base. Crap," Flamedramon said, kicking dirt away.

"Don't take it so hard, boys," Samuridramon replied, sheathing her sword. "You can practice before you decide to spar with me again."

"Now, that's an idea," Imperialdramon agreed.

"By the way, Imperialdramon-sama, where are Herodramon and Ninjadramon?" Samuridramon asked the clan leader.

"They're keeping watch over the anomaly after I instructed them to remain there. I had gone there to tell them about you returning. Come, if you want, I can take you there to see them. Then, we can discuss plans to arrange a meeting with the Sovereigns. It appears the wormhole is starting to fluctuate quicker than we expected."

"Right, I say we better get going right away," Samuridramon agreed.

"You three stay and alert our in-trainees," Imperialdramon instructed the trio. "You must be on alert and protect the base."

"Yes, Imperialdramon-sama," Galaxiadramon nodded, sadly picking up the blade shards.

"Grrr, damn! She just had to ruin everything! I wanted to help Imperialdramon, but no! She had to show up and make Galaxiadramon look like a fool!"

"We'll be back, guys. You take care of the base while we're gone. I'm ready, Imperialdramon-sama," Samuridramon said, hopping on the clan leader's back.

"Right, now you hang on tightly, Samuridramon," Imperialdramon replied, activating his boosters. "I just hope the hole's growth slows down but I just don't see that happening anytime soon. Earth is in no better shape, either. Are we truly experiencing a great war on two fronts? It's even worse than I feared."

Digital World/Amazon Kingdom/1:40 AM

Elsewhere, in a far off and isolated region from the Dra-Warrior base, there was another organized digimon civilization. This was the kingdom of the Amazon digimon, who were ruled under Queen Athenamon. The Amazon Kingdom, just as the name applied, looked exactly like a lost kingdom from the Greek and Roman time periods. The architecture was solidly built with white marble. There were lush, beautiful gardens spread across. Numerous female digimon populated this isolated kingdom and for good reason. These were female digimon who have escaped and refused to associate themselves with the "Man's World". Even though digimon don't have real genders, the Amazons applied the name 'female' as they're apart of their society. The first Amazon Queen many digi-millennia ago has since applied this rule.

Suddenly, a digital portal opened up at the center of what appeared to be a garden. Emerging from out of the portal was Kuzuhamon, Phillipe and the other Tamers who followed along. Kazu, Kenta, Jeri, Ranamon and Suzie looked around to find themselves in the garden of the Amazon Kingdom. Guardromon, Marine Angemon, Felinismon and Lopmon were stunned to find sculptures shattered and areas devastated. It appeared they had arrived at the site of where a battle had previously taken place.

"Look at this mess," Jeri gasped, kneeling beside a broken statue.

"So, what could have done this?" Kenta wondered.

"Kuzuhamon, tell us what you Amazons have been fighting against." Ranamon prodded.

"It appears Athenamon's old enemy, Medusamon, has made her presence felt. Since Athenamon is not here, the monster has decided to take advantage and implement an attack on our kingdom. Athenamon and I are the only mega-level digimon of this kingdom. Since Athenamon is still with Omegamon, I'm all that is left to fight with the other Amazons. Medusamon and her forces are too powerful. That is why we have summoned for you."

"Athenamon's still on her honeymoon? Good lord, have you even called for her?" Kazu asked.

"We have and she's on her way with Omegamon. But, we're left with only a few Amazons, myself, Jaguarmon, Mermaimon, D'Arcmon and a few others. It's going to be difficult to put up a strong resistance against Medusamon."

"Don't worry. That's why we're here," Felinismon said, stretching out her legs. "I'm ready for whatever this Medusamon throws at us."

"So, whatcha think, Phillipe?" Kenta approached the boy and tapped him on the shoulder.

"So, this is the Digital World?" Phillipe gazed around awe struck.

"Actually, kid, this is only a part of it," Ranamon answered Phillipe. "We're in the Amazon Kingdom and this is actually our first time being here. If it wasn't such a mess, it would be beautiful."

"Kuzuhamon! Are you there!" a pair of voices call out from the background.

The group turned around to find several members of the Amazon digimon clan advancing out of the royal halls. The Tamers immediately recognized several of the Amazons. Mermaimon, D'Arcmon, Witchmon and Jaguarmon were all happy to see their friends once again.

"Ah, it's the Tamers! So, they've finally come!" Mermaimon said, sighing in relief.

"We're so glad you were able to come on such short notice!" D'Arcmon stated.

Jaguarmon acknowledged the Tamers until she caught glimpse of one child. She had her eyes on Phillipe.

"Well, who is this?" Jaguarmon wondered, eyeing Phillipe carefully. "Such a lovely young girl, but she is without a partner?"

"So, tell us everything that's happened since now," Jeri said, approaching the Amazon digimon. "Who is this Medusamon and what does she want?"

"It's a long story, but we'll tell you everything there is to know," Witchmon replied, holding her hat.

"Um, since when did you join the Amazons, Witchmon?" Guardromon asked the little troublemaker.

"Well, that's a long story, too, but..."

D'Arcmon immediately cut off Witchmon and spoke up for her, "But most importantly, you need to know what we're up against. Medusamon..."

-

Elsewhere, far from the Amazon Kingdom, there was an ominous serpentine figure looming in the shadows. A pair of red eyes flashed out of the darkness and hissed darkly. The creature was prepared to unleash another attack with her reptilian forces on Athenamon's kingdom.

"Yessss, just one more attack and Athenamon's Kingdom will be conquered."

"That's right, but make sure to do that little favor for me. You know the one where it involves finding a power source for my device to track down the seven pieces."

Turning around, the serpentine creature watched BlackGuilmon standing by her side. He held a PDA in his hand and was scanning the temples within the Amazon Kingdom for power signatures.

"But what will I be looking for?" The gorgonite digimon wondered.

"I'm sure with all the treasures the Amazons have horded, you'll be able to find something suitable."

"I won't let you down, BlackGuilmon. I guarantee I will get a source to aid you on your conquest to locate Valmarmon's seven pieces. I shall join Orochimon in dealing the final blow to the Amazon Kingdom! Victory shall be ours!"

"Good, now carry along," BlackGuilmon said, reading calculations on his PDA. "I knew relying on Medusamon was a good idea. It sure beats relying on that bonehead, Skull Satanmon. Valmarmon, it's only a matter of time before you are awakened."

Earth/East Shibuya/Inuki Residence/1:45 AM

Back at the Inuki Residence, the Sailor Senshi were getting ready to receive their Valkyrie powers.

"Sailor Senshi, it is time. Do you wish to gain the power of the Valkyries?" Aoshi walked across to the center and looked to each female. "If so, then we must hurry. Time is running out. We need to bring back the souls of the ones taken by Ghidorah."

"Right, come on, girls. This is the moment we've been waiting for," Rei instructed her fellow Senshi.

"Yi-pee! I can't wait!" Minako squealed excitedly. "I wonder what our outfits are going to look like."

"Well, Minako, we'll be turning into Valkyrie warriors, so, no doubt, we'll have armor and some kick ass accessories," Makoto replied as flexed her arms out.

"Are you looking forward to this, Karin?" Hotaru approached the teenager.

"You bet. Being a Sailor Senshi is great, but this new Valkyrie power is definitely worth it. It's really an honored privilege for a newbie like me."

"After the way you handled those Rajita, there's no way we can call you a rookie," Haruka reassured Karin.

"Yes, you'll do just fine, Karin," Setsuna nodded in reply. "The training I gave you helped improve your skills. You're a quick learner but you still need to be careful with careless mistakes."

"Right, but I'm not perfect," Karin shrugged. "Ok, Aoshi-kun, I know I'm ready."

"The power will be ours, Haruka. I can say that I'm looking forward to this," Michiru said, smiling.

"You've definitely read my mind," the tomboy nodded.

Meanwhile, as the Sailor Senshi formed a circle around Aoshi, the Spirit Detectives and the others watched the demonstration. Yusuke pointed to each Senshi.

"Wow, so all nine of them are going to become Valkyrie Senshi? Damn, this ought to be a good show," Yusuke said.

"What do you mean, Yusuke?" Botan asked.

"Oh nothing really... Just imagining them transforming brought some naughty thoughts to my head," the Spirit Detective snickered.

Taking serious offense to this, Botan slapped Yusuke in the back of the head and blushed red across her face. The youth held his throbbing head and faced the ferry girl.

"What the hell was that for!"

"Pervert! Is that what you're looking forward to seeing?" Botan exclaimed. "I'll bet you'd want to know their cup size!"

"Well, um, how would you have guessed?" the teen grinned sheepishly.

"PERVERT!"

Watching the ferry girl berate the teen, the other Spirit Detectives sweat dropped and turned away from them. Yui crawled beside Cammy and whispered in her ear.

"Hey, just what are those two going on about?"

"I'm not sure, Yui-chan. It's just some pointless grown-up stuff," Cammy sighed. "Anyway, we should really focus on my sister and the girls."

"What do you think, Max?" Sam asked his brother. "This should be cool to watch."

"Finally I get to see them transform," Max nodded, watching the teenage girls.

"That's right. I'm curious to see the power of the Valkyries," Kurama nodded. "I assume their power will greatly surpass their previous battle forms."

"You mean their Eternal forms? Yeah, I would think so," Kuwabara stated. "C'mon, Urameshi, let's get serious here!"

"Right, sorry about that," Yusuke said, grinning. "I just couldn't contain myself there."

"Mamoru-san, I wonder, will the Moon Heart Crystal give you any sort of new power?" Botan asked the young man.

"I wouldn't know. This is the first time we've ever actually seen it used after our memories were erased," Mamoru answered. "My guess would be maybe, but it could even heal my injuries."

"And maybe replenish our spirit energy," Kurama stated.

"Quiet everyone. They're about to begin," Seiya pointed out.

"The moment has finally come, Yaten," Taiki whispered under his breath.

"That's right. At last, the power of the Valkyrie will be awakened. Girls, I hope this power will be enough to stop our enemy. Our princesses' lives count on it."

Holding the Moon Heart Crystal against his chest, Aoshi felt an intense red aura of light glowing and warming his heart. He looked around to each of the Senshi.

"Now that you formed a circle you need to hold each other's hands. This can only work if you do as I say."

"Not a problem," Ami nodded as she held onto Makoto's hand.

"Anything," the brunette agreed as she held onto Minako.

"For Usagi-chan," Minako replied and took Rei's hand.

"Yes, for Usagi and for everyone who's become a victim of Ghidorah's wrath," the Miko stated and took Setsuna's hand.

Then, one by one, each of the Outer Senshi took each other's hands. Karin was the last to have her hands taken by Hotaru and Ami. Suddenly, Cammy felt herself being pulled directly towards the Senshi and felt an intense light emerging out of her body. Rei turned to see her sister being pulled by an invisible, mystic force.

"Hey, what's going on? What's pulling Cammy!" Max said, watching Cammy being pulled to the Senshi.

"Cammy-chan!" Rei cried out for her sister.

"Stay focused, Rei-chan!" exclaimed Minako.

Nodding in reply, the Miko closed her eyes and channeled her Henshin energy. Swirls of colorful lights encircled each female and their transformation brooches emitted intense auras. Then, the symbols of the planets appeared across the foreheads of the girls. The Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Venus, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Saturn and Sedna directed beams of light towards the Moon Heart Crystal. The boy tried to contain the overwhelming power inside the crystal and cried out. His hands were slightly burning from the light.

"Aoshi-kun!" Yui cried and raced forward. "He's in pain!"

"Don't give up, Aoshi!" Sam encouraged the boy.

Then, Genkai immediately stepped out in front of the child and held her back. Yui struggled to break the old woman's hold on her.

"Let me go! Aoshi-kun needs me!"

"It's all right, child. Aoshi will be just fine. The Moon Goddess won't let anything happen to the boy."

"But he's hurting! That crystal is burning his hands and he's only a kid!"

"You underestimate your friend, Yui-chan. He is determined to carry out his father's wishes. Aoshi will do everything he can to give the Senshi their new power."

"What about Cammy-chan?"

"Isn't she the Digital Priestess I've heard about from you kids?"

"Yes, Master Genkai. She is, but she told me she couldn't fully harness it again since the tournament ended."

"Well, I don't know about you but it seems she's found a way to regain that power! Just take a look!" Botan pointed across.

"Whoa, this is intense!" Kuwabara gasped, as he felt the increasing spirit power. "These girls are getting a serious power boost!"

"You're right and it's only bound to get stronger," Kurama agreed.

"You can do it, guys! Don't give out!" Yusuke encouraged the Senshi. "Aoshi's one tough kid!"

"Man, Aoshi's not letting out!" Max replied.

Resisting the excruciating pain through his hands, Aoshi continued to channel the crystal's power. He watched the nine females transforming into translucent forms. Their Henshin sticks flew directly in front of them. In an instant, the sticks transformed into small, sheathed blades. The symbols of the Senshi were printed on the sides of the sheaths. The girls opened their eyes to glare at their new transformation items.

"Whoa, our Henshin sticks!" Makoto exclaimed.

"They've changed into daggers!" Ami stated.

"Oh, this is so bad ass! You mean to tell me we'll be using daggers to transform into our Valkyrie forms?" Minako squealed excitedly, like a child.

"Now I'm beginning to like this," Haruka agreed. "Daggers are just my thing."

"There'll be time for comments later, guys," Cammy spoke out calmly. "You have to take the daggers now."

"Cammy-chan? I'm sensing the power of the Priestess being reawakened within you," Rei said, directing her comment to the child. "Right! Let's get this over with!"

"Take your new transformation daggers, Senshi," Aoshi commanded the ladies. "The crystal spoke to me..."

"It spoke to you?" Hotaru asked the child.

"Yes, it relayed the chant phrase for you to call out in order to activate your Valkyrie powers. Now, listen up and repeat after me."

The girls listened as the boy revealed the exact chant phrase to unlock the Valkyrie powers out of their Henshin Daggers. They grabbed the sheaths and tightly wrapped their fingers around the blade handles.

"Now, repeat after me: Valkyrie Power! Make-Up!"

With that said the nine girls held up their Henshin Daggers simultaneously and called out the phrase in unison.

"VALKYRIE POWER! MAKE-UP!"

"This is moment we've been waiting for, Luna," Artemis commented as he prepared to witness the Senshi donning new powers.

"I'm so proud of them. To think there is a Valkyrie power for these girls," Luna said. "Let's hope it will be enough to grant them the gifts to defeat Kaiser Ghidorah."

Then, the cats were immediately cut off and everyone turned to watch beams engulf the nine females. They each pulled out the dagger handles out of their sheaths and held the weapons directly in front of them. Their foreheads and dagger handles glowed with their trademark colors.

In an instant, the girls were inside columns of light and undergoing their transformation into their new Valkyrie forms. Suddenly, much to the surprise of the girls, mystical orbs materialized into the shapes of animals.

The girls each looked directly at the animal, which their new powers represented, a water dragon for Ami, a phoenix for Rei, a cheetah for Makoto, a unicorn for Minako, a griffin for Uranus, a sea horse for Michiru, Hotaru received a skeletal horse with fireflies flying around it, Setsuna had a wolf, and Karin received a polar bear. The nine animals transformed into light orbs and were instantly absorbed into the girls' bodies. Cammy's forehead shone with the symbol of Mars released a ray of multi-colored light.

The first to start her transformation was Ami with a pair of angelic, blue wings sprouting from her back. Her translucent form spun around with an oceanic wave dancing around her in a spiral. Then, the same blue-skinned dragon emerged from out of the water. It exactly like the traditional oriental dragon with its serpentine body and horn protruding out of its skull. The dragon unleashed a fearsome roar. The water and dragon spun around her at a rapid pace. Once the dragon stopped, it fused with the girl's body and the water completely swallowed her. The water immediately dissipated and revealed Ami in her new Valkyrie form. Her outfit consisted of blue armor covering her chest, arms and boots. Golden metallic rings, one larger than the other, covered parts of her body. Around her neck was a golden neck choker with a blue crystal embedded at the center. Another crystal appeared on the golden plate ring around her lower neck and down at the golden belt section. Her arms were bare but the lower portion was covered in blue armor with silver bracelets. Her fingers were bare, too. Flowing around her legs and under the armor, there appeared to be a blue cloth blowing against the oceanic waves. Her boots were metallic and light blue. A blue helmet with a dragon's face covered her cranium. Attached to her right side was the sheathed dagger she used earlier. Ami stepped out into a stance and displayed her new form.

"Valkyrie Sailor Mercury!"

The next to undergo her transformation was the Miko, Rei Hino. Her body became translucent emitting a bright, red hue. Spreading across her back was a pair of angelic wings blazing with intense flames. An explosive fiery blast erupted behind the girl and released a beautiful phoenix. Unlike the dark phoenix from her nightmares, this firebird was ignited a bright orange and yellow colorations. Its eyes were bright red. It screeched out and spread its wings out over Rei. The flames engulfed the Miko completely. Lifting her head up, Rei calmly became united with the sacred phoenix flames. Once the flames died down, the new Valkyrie form for the Miko was revealed. Her outfit was similar to Mercury's new form but with different colors. Her red armor covered her chest, lower arms and boots. The lower parts of her arms were covered with red armor with silver bracelets. Around her legs was a red cloth flowing out. Her helmet was red with a phoenix bird's face protecting her head and feathers on the helmet's sides. She also had her dagger on her right hip. Rei waved her arms out to release a wave of fire and took a stance.

"Valkyrie Sailor Mars!"

Makoto's form was covered with electricity flowing all over her body. A pair of wings sprouted out of her back and became widespread. A lightning bolt struck down in front of the tomboy and morphed into a cheetah. The cat roared out and spun around Makoto at lightning speed until an electrical funnel formed round her. The eyes of the brunette turned completely white. Her outfit was just like Ami and Rei's except that her armor and boots were light green. A green cloth flowed against her legs underneath the armor. A green helmet with a cheetah's face formed over her cranium. The sheath materialized beside her right hip. Throwing out some martial arts kicks and punches, her body was surged with a high voltage of electricity. Stepping out into a one-legged-stance, she introduced her new transformation.

"Valkyrie Sailor Jupiter!"

Next, Minako was transforming into her own Valkyrie form. Golden, angelic wings spread across her back. She jumped directly into mid-air and flipped over gracefully. Then, from out of nowhere, a beautiful white unicorn came galloping around the girl. Once she landed back on her feet, the unicorn moved around the blonde with a spotlight shining down upon her. Minako waved her hands across her hair and became covered in an orange column of purifying light. The unicorn entered through the light and merged with Minako. The blonde came walking out of the light in her Valkyrie form. The armor on her body was orange and yellow while the design of her outfit was the same as her friends. Her boots were orange while the flowing cloth was yellow. An orange helmet with a tiny unicorn horn protruding through her helmet top adorned her head. An array of orange and yellow hearts encircled the warrior of love. Standing into a stance, Minako blew a kiss and waved a 'V' signal using her right hand.

"Valkyrie Sailor Venus!"

The first of the Outer Senshi to undergo her transformation was Haruka. Wings formed out of her back. Throwing her arms across, Haruka allowed a massive gust of wind to blow against her. Suddenly, a majestic griffin emerged from out of the wind air and moved around Haruka before fusing with her. The winds became stronger to create a tornado. It descended down to engulf her. Finally, Haruka walked out of the funnel and garbed in her Valkyrie battle form. It was an entirely contrasting armor look compared to the Inners. The armor was dark blue; covering her chest, an armored skirt above her knees, boots and gauntlet gloves. Shoulder pads adorned her armor. White streaks trimmed around the sides of her armor. Around Haruka's neck was a dark blue choker with an orange orb attached at the center. Her helmet appeared to have the face of a griffin with a pair of feathers on the sides. A dark blue cape spread out across her back and blew along with the wind. A tornado funnel spun around until it dissipated. Haruka held her dagger and called out her newly transformed Senshi form.

"Valkyrie Sailor Uranus!"

Followed by Uranus, Michiru was next and spread her arms out. Turquoise wings protruded out of her back. Her translucent form spun around with an oceanic wave dancing around her in a spiral. Then, a turquoise seahorse emerged from out of the water. The water and the seahorse spun around her at a rapid pace. Once the seahorse stopped, it fused with her body. Then, the water completely swallowed her. The water immediately dissipated and revealed Michiru in her new Valkyrie form. Her armor design was strikingly similar to Uranus but it was turquoise with dark blue streaks trimmed around the edges. The gloves, boots, cape and all other accessories became a part of her outfit. Her helmet had the face of a seahorse with scales on the sides of the helmet. Taking an elegant stance, Michiru introduced her new Senshi form.

"Valkyrie Sailor Neptune!"

Setsuna waved her hands across and leaned her head back. Dark green wings spread out across her back. The long, green hair flowed out across as she gracefully leaped into mid-air. Her translucent form spun around with the planet of Pluto in the background. Then, a large wolf emerged on top of a canyon and howled out directly to the planet and directly fused itself with the Time Guardian. Her Time Staff immediately changed into a key blade, similar to one used by Sora from Kingdom Hearts. Revealing herself out of column of dark green light, the oldest Senshi was covered with streams of energy over her black-armored Valkyrie outfit. The helmet appeared to have the face of a wolf in dedication to her friend, Okami. Her boots were also dark green and matched the color of her armor. Taking a stance, Setsuna held her new key blade staff.

"Valkyrie Sailor Pluto!"

Hotaru moved her hands across and jumped into mid-air. She performed a somersault and landed gracefully on her feet. Stampeding behind her was a skeletal horse covered with beautiful fireflies. The eyes of the horse were actually glowing fireflies. They moved all around the girl and fused with her altogether. Her eyes emitted intensely with golden light and black angelic wings spread across her back. The glaive appeared before Hotaru and transformed into a scythe. Hotaru revealed her Valkyrie form, with her armor and boots being dark purple. Her helmet had the face of a skull with fireflies decorating the texture. She took a battle stance and held the scythe by her side.

"Valkyrie Sailor Saturn!"

Finally, the newest Senshi spread her arms out and allowed snowy, white wings to emerge out of her back. An array of ice crystals rained down over the teenager. Then, a polar bear emerged from underneath Karin and became fused with her body. Karin threw her head back and felt an Arctic breeze blowing against her. Her eyes emitted a light blue hue. A blue light rained down over the young girl and activated the armor of her Valkyrie form. Walking out of the light, Karin's Valkyrie armor was silver along with her boots and cloth. In her right hand was an ice harpoon. The helmet had the face of a bear on it. Much like Pluto and Saturn, she took a quick stance and held her ice harpoon by her side.

"Valkyrie Sailor Sedna!"

Cammy watched as her outfit changed from her normal attire to a traditional Miko outfit. In her right was a staff with a crescent moon attached at the top. She also managed to regain most of her Digital Priestess powers. Her eyes opened and looked directly at the nine transformed Senshi. Aoshi held the Moon Heart Crystal up long enough before he fell down to his knees. Genkai finally released Yui and allowed her to race to the boy's side.

"Aoshi-kun!" Yui cried out.

"Oh no! Aoshi-kun!" Cammy cried, following her friend.

"I hope that boy will be all right," Botan watched with deep concern.

"He'll be fine. Rest assured," Kurama replied and smiled.

"But, wow, this is awesome! All nine of the Sailor Senshi are Valkyries!" Kuwabara said, while observing the ladies. "I feel their spirit energy and let me tell ya: it's strong!"

"Are you feeling that, bro?" Sam asked his brother, smiling.

"Heck yeah! They're just radiating power!" Max responded, nodding.

"Yeah, no kidding! I hate to admit it but they might have more spirit energy than us," Yusuke nodded in reply.

"Humph, not possible," Hiei remarked and eyed Valkyrie Sailor Mars carefully. "There's no way she has more power than me. It's not possible."

"You're right, Yusuke," Botan agreed. "But I'm sure Aoshi can help replenish your spirit energy with the Moon Heart Crystal."

Artemis hopped over to where Sailor Venus stood and looked at her new Valkyrie armor. A proud smile crossed the guardian cat's face.

"Minako, I have to say you look fantastic in your Valkyrie armor," Artemis stated.

"Aww, thanks, Artemis," Venus smiled and struck a pose. "What do ya think? Man, I can feel the power."

"I agree, our powers have definitely increased with these Valkyrie forms," Mercury stated, while observing her hands.

"Now, this is something I'm going to enjoy," Uranus smiled as she held her dagger.

"Oh, I'm sure you are, Uranus," Neptune said, giggling to herself.

Observing the Valkyrie Sailor Senshi carefully, Kurama sensed the strong presence of spirit power from the nine ladies. He was just as surprised as the other Spirit Detectives.

"To think that such a sacred item that would grant them this power was a treasure I had tried to steal as Youko. This is certainly one source of power the Moon Queen would possess. It would be wise not to underestimate the Sailor Senshi in their current forms. I sense each one of them is stronger than Toguro and perhaps at the A-Class mentioned by Okami. With them at this stage, we just may stand a chance against Ghidorah's forces."

"Cammy-chan, your Digital Priestess powers are restored!" Sailor Jupiter kneeled beside the little girl.

"Yeah, but you didn't grow up. Are you not at full power?" Sailor Saturn asked the Hino child.

"I'm not sure, but I think this may be an after effect from merging with Guilmon," Cammy predicted. "Good question, why am I still in kid form?"

"It doesn't matter, Cammy-chan. You have your powers back and that's all that really matters," Yui smiled as she soothed Aoshi's back. "You did great, Aoshi-kun. We're proud of you."

Kneeling beside Aoshi and patting his back was Sam. He looked to Yui and smiled.

"Your friend did great, Yui," Sam said, looking at the girl.

Sailor Mars smiled and kneeled down to meet Aoshi. She put a hand on the Lycan child's right shoulder.

"Thank you for giving us these new powers, Aoshi-kun. You truly did carry out the honor for you father. We'll need this power if we hope to stand a chance against the Rajita," the Miko smiled, while giving her gratitude. "I feel that with these powers we are stronger then ever and motivated with the urge to rescue Usagi."

"I just wanted to bring up that you girls merged with spirit beasts," Kuwabara pointed out. "Um, well, is it anything like the powers those kids received?"

"Well, almost but I'm not even sure if we can communicate with our animal spirits," Sailor Sedna answered, fixing her armored chest. "Man, I have to say that I've never felt so much stronger."

"We can use our new abilities in our Valkyrie forms," Sailor Venus stated. "The question is finding some Rajita as our guinea pigs."

"I've got to agree with you, Venus," Mars remarked. "Why don't we show these Rajita what our new Valkyrie powers can do? I have no doubt we're stronger than our previous forms."

"Yeah and I just simply feel the urge to get back at that no good alien bitch," Sailor Uranus growled, recalling her defeat at Nagah's hands.

"Yo! Don't forget that we're going to be helping you girls!" Yusuke interrupted them.

"We didn't forget about you, Yusuke buddy," Sailor Venus said, winking to the Spirit Detective. "We'll just have Aoshi heal you and your buddies."

"So, Hiei, what do you think of their forms? Pretty cool, huh?" Kuwabara asked the fire apparition.

The demon turned away from the youth and faced the direction of the way. Taking notice of Hiei, Sailor Mars recalled the small conversation she had with him earlier. He discussed only a little about Yukina but never mentioned the fact that he is her brother. Her eyes softened as she noticed faint hope from Hiei.

"Yusuke surpassing me is not surprise but now these females are possibly stronger than I am? That's just not going to happen. To think I would get one-upped by the Miko. Rei Hino, you don't know me and I don't want you to get to know me. Why must you always show concern for me? Is it because of Yukina? Feh, what do you know? I could care less what you say about me."

"Hey? Is there something wrong, Hiei?" Yusuke asked the fire apparition.

"No," Hiei simply put and turned around to find Valkyrie Sailor Mars staring at him. "What do you want?"

"Nothing, but I really do hope we can cooperate on this, Hiei. If you want to save the souls of our friends, including Yukina's, I'm asking you to aid us. Maybe even aid me. I'll bet these Rajita will be scorched like barbeque with our combined fire power."

"Are you attempting to flirt with me, Miko?" Hiei snorted out of annoyance.

"Like hell I'm not! I simply want us to work together and repair any loose ends on our teams. Besides, for your information, I have no interest in men."

"And that's my problem? Look, let's just make sure we don't ever work together."

"Sorry, Hiei, but you guys need us more than you think. I've seen how high and mighty you act when you talk smack. Quite frankly, two can play it that game. You want to cross me and you're going to get it. I'm here to save Sailor Moon and the souls of every person lost to Ghidorah, including Yukina. Please, let's just put all our differences aside. What do you say, Hiei?"

"Unless you want Koenma to confine you to a tiny city block," Botan pointed out and reminded the fire apparition. "Make your call, Hiei. Yusuke and the others have already made their decision."

Turning to the Spirit Detectives and then back to Sailor Mars, Hiei simply let out an annoyed sigh and looked directly towards the Miko carefully. He knew that her anti-seal parchments would weaken him. Hiei was reluctant and merely gestured to Sailor Mars.

"Whatever, as long as I get my hands on the bastards that took Yukina's soul," Hiei growled lowly.

Smiling to the demon, Mars nodded and pat his shoulder, "We'll get her back, Hiei. I promise you that."

"Well, now that that's been settled," Yusuke stated. "I'm ready whenever you girls are. Time to kick some ass."

"Hold it, Yusuke," Genkai called out to the teen. "We had better find safe place for these girls' bodies."

"Yes, that's a good point, Genkai. Aoshi, is there anywhere in your home to keep their bodies safe?" Kurama asked, looking back to Yukina, Keiko, Shizuru and Atsuko.

"Yeah, we have a basement shelter. We can keep their bodies down there for safe keeping."

"Yes, I think Genkai and I should stay here then," Botan said. "Meanwhile, the rest of you can venture out and let those monsters get their just desserts."

"I like the sound of that," Sailor Jupiter agreed. "Then, we'll find that witch that took our powers and humiliate her."

"Oh! I get the first shot at her!" Sailor Venus declared.

"Shoot, I'm ready to prove my worth to you, guys," Sailor Sedna said as she fixed her armor.

Yui crawled towards Cammy and whispered in her ear, "Hey, Cammy-chan, are you sure you're back to full power like before?"

"Well, I'm not sure. I mean I do recall giving up some of my power to Guilmon during our fusion. That should enable him to become Shining Mode again."

"I see, but man I'm sensing strong spirit energy from you. I think we would make great spirit detectives one day."

"Now, that's something I think I would enjoy," Cammy nodded in reply.

"Also I have another question. Is it just me or your sister have a thing for Hiei?"

"What? You mean those two? No, my sister just felt sorry for him after hearing that his close friend, Yukina, had her soul taken."

"I don't know it seemed she was being a little too friendly to him. She did have a talk with him outside just a few minutes ago if you recall."

"Yeah, but I do admit I think my sister may have a liking for him. She just doesn't want to admit it since she's so prideful about her feelings. She claims she has no feelings or interest for any men."

"I think she's hiding it, Cammy-chan."

"You mean you know?"

"Yeah, a girl like her wants to put up a tough act to throw you off guard."

"But I'm her sister. She could at least tell me what's on her mind. She's not afraid of telling me any secret she doesn't want to share with anyone else."

"I see. Well, all I can tell you is to keep an eye on her. Who knows? She just might surprise us," Yui said, giggling.

"Yeah, you might be right," Cammy looked towards her sister and smiled. "We'll see. Plus, is it just me or is Sam seemingly interested in you?"

"Huh, what do you mean? Sam has interest in me?"

"You mean you don't know? He seemed to get close to you when he went over to check on Aoshi."

"Really? Well, I never saw it that way."

"Hey, whatcha girls talking about?" Sailor Venus kneeled down and asked.

"Um, nothing!" the girls turned and put up an innocent act. "Just talking about stuff!"

"Uh huh," Venus smirked and pretended to play dumb. "I overheard you two talking about Mars-chan."

"All right, everyone, listen," Sailor Pluto spoke up. "Before we implement our first strike on the enemy, we must allow Aoshi to restore the Detectives of their energy."

"Then, it's ass kicking time!" Sailor Uranus said, clenching her right hand.

Pulling a photo out of her glove, Mars looked down at a picture of all the Senshi. She had it in her possession after Usagi left to find the Tamers. It was taken several years ago during their high school years. It also had the Outer girls standing beside them. However, the most notable part of the photo was Usagi and Rei sitting together. The Miko was looking back to the fond memories she shared with Usagi and shed a single tear.

"Usagi and friends, we're coming to save you. Ghidorah, you made a big mistake leaving us like that. Now, it's time for you to pay for your crimes," Mars thought and slipped the photo inside her right glove. "I will carry your honor and lead the Senshi to victory, Princess Serenity. The sacred flames of destiny will expel the darkness. Ghidorah, we're coming for you, you monster."

Above Earth's Orbit/Interior of Mother ship/Ghidorah's Royal Chambers/1:50 AM

Ghidorah was silent for a moment until he felt several powers at once increasing. He recognized the powers and frowned. He realized these power-ups were the direct result of the Moon Heart Crystal.

"Their powers have grown exceedingly beyond my expectations. Yes, so they have the moon Heart Crystal, but the question is: Who has it? I can't sense the source being held in any of the females' possessions. With this power-up they received, my armies are in serious trouble. Make no mistake. They are more determined to save their Moon Princess!"

Turning around, Ghidorah looked at the capsule containing Usagi with his eyes flashing intensely with a green hue.

"The Sailor Senshi can no longer be considered insects. They've reached a level where they must be taken seriously. Senshi, you wish to extend this war further? Well, just remember this, you've brought this upon yourselves. The final wars have now come into full swing."

-

With Ghidorah preparing to pull his forces further, the Moon Heart Crystal has at last granted the girls with new forms. The Valkyrie powers are their ultimate power-ups and there is no doubt they will be a force to be reckoned with. With the Spirit Detectives joining them, how far will the Rajita go to stand up against their powered-up adversaries?

Meanwhile, the Tamers, Legendary Warriors and the Duelists have confronted Kaiba. With this project at 100 completion, the wormhole is bound to grow exceedingly faster than anyone can imagine. But, can anyone convince Kaiba to fight alongside Yugi and Joey in the war against the Rajita?

The other set of Tamers have ventured into the Digital World to aid the Amazons against their old enemy, Medusamon. Will Medusamon find out that Phillipe is the partnerless child amongst the group?

Can Nagah regain her senses? Ghidorah plans to increase the number of soldiers as he figured out the Sailor Senshi realizing new powers. How much more powerful have the girls become with the Valkyrie powers?

The war continues, but not without a resistance to fend off Ghidorah's legions.

(PREVIEW)

Phillipe: Hi, guys! This is Phillipe and I'm here to tell you about the preview for the next chapter. Man, I didn't think there would be digimon civilizations but the Amazon Kingdom is amazing! They are very interesting people, but that Jaguarmon...

Jaguarmon: So, are you a boy or a girl? I can't tell the difference from your looks!

Phillipe: I'M A BOY!

Jeri: What's worse is that Medusamon captures us and our digimon turn into stone.

Medusamon: Child, you are to open the temple to release the powers of the Amazons.

Phillipe: But, why me?

Nate Escobar: Damn, my plane shot down and I barely managed to escape. I've got to find a way to get to Tokyo and know if my stepsister is safe. I'll make you alien bastards pay for killing my men!

Ghidorah: The Sailor Senshi have gotten way too powerful in their new Valkyrie forms! My forces in Japan are being reduced! My generals, since Nagah is still recovering from a slight insanity disorder, I have declared we infiltrate the building where the device opening the parallel dimension is located.

Suzakato: You guys! There! The mother ship is just above Kaiba Corp!

Yugi: If they're after Kaiba's project, then we must stop them! We can't allow them to find out about the Digital World!

Agunimon: Let's move!

Lyn: Kaiba, your friends need you.

Seto: I don't have to do anything. This is not my battle.

Lyn: Bullshit, this is a war that involves everyone on this planet. You are not going to run and hide from these monsters! The Sailor Senshi and the Spirit Detectives are risking their lives out there. The same goes for those kids and your friends. You really are a coward if you run and hide.

Sam: Yui-kun, you're a duelist? I think I have something that could help you.

Yui: What is it?

Aoshi: Cammy-chan, what is he up to?

Cammy: Sam? Oh, it's nothing to worry about. Trust me.

Sailor Jupiter: Now, these are powers I'm going to love getting used to!

Sailor Venus: Oh yeah. We have the ultimate power! Girl Power!

Yusuke: Wow, these girls' powers are crazy!

Kurama: They've far exceeded our expectations.

Mizuno: Hey, Hiei! It's been a while.

Brimstone: Looks like the Spirit Detectives could use some help.

Hiei: Mizuno! Why did you have to show up, woman?

Sailor Mars: Ghidorah, consider this the beginning of the end. Usagi, we're coming.

Seirika: You don't want to miss out on the action in chapter 14!

The Valkyrie Senshi Strike! Ghidorah's Next Mission: Take the Digital World!

Himakko: We can't let them enter the Digital World!

Ghidorah: Too late, fools. You cannot hope to stop the Rajita advancement.

---

That warps it up. I hope you enjoyed the Sailors receiving their Valkyrie power-ups. Now, at this current level, they are all ranked at the Mid-A Class under the YYH power scale. What do you know? Each one stronger than Toguro. Hell, each one is strong enough to take out the likes of Piedmon, Demon and many mega-level digimon.

Hope you got a kick out of Nagah acting completely out of character with Mina's personality warping her mind. Consider that payback of sorts from Minako for what Nagah did to the Sailors. ;)

Also, we've seen the return of the Dra-Warriors and the glimpse of the Amazon Kingdom. Medusamon shows up next chapter and will no doubt play a role in Phillipe's destiny. Also, we've seen Kaiba activate his project and no doubt we'll be seeing devastating results from the wormhole.

Before I go, I must give credit to the following. LazerWulf for beta reading this chapter and allowing me to use Lyn (and her brothers). Belletiger for the Kuzuhamon meeting the Tamers scene and the idea of Nagah acting like Minako. Ninetalesuk for his Dra-Warriors, including the new one named Samuridramon. (Yes, it's 'Samuridramon', NOT 'Samuraidramon'. Don't ask why but it's how Ninetalesuk wanted it spelled.)

These next few chapters will no doubt have plenty of action, including seeing the Valkyrie Sailor Senshi in action. If you thought they were good now, man you're going to be amazed at how powerful they will have become. Also, they'll be teaming with Yusuke and the boys, in addition to some Seto and Lyn (Kisara) interaction. ;)

Peace out!
