14. Chapter

Bagramon's Strike! Save Suzie, the Comeback of a Royal Knight!

"Sir, you have a visit from the Assistant of the Chief of the DMAO (Digital Monster Acidents Organisation)." said Misa and the assistant entered the room where Com. Satsuma was.

"Greetings, what brings you here?" asked Satsuma.
"A message from the head chief. Someone from Alpha D-City called and said that the Digital World is under attack and possibly in a war with a group who call themselves 'The 7 Great Demon Lords'. Do you know something about this?" asked the assistant strictly. Satsuma glared at him.
"I do, you see, the kids who saved the Digiworld from Reapermon went there the save it from the Demon Lords. Of course I also sent my elite Rangers there and they'll sure defead the new threat." said Satsuma and smiled. The assistant frowned and crossed his arms on his back.
"You put all your hope into a bunch of kids and three Digimon Rangers. That's unacceptable. First of all, the Digital Monsters Rangers Organisation was created to protect people from every Digital Creature that threats our world. The humans did accept the co-existance of both Worlds, but the Digital Monster are going a little bit too far with their doings." said the assitant.
"I understand that, but you have to accept that there exist good and bad Digimon. Just like there exist good and bad humans..." Satsuma started but was cut off.
"Don't dare to compare us with those things." replied the assistant.
"The Digimon ain't things. They're living creatures and the mankind made them with the help of data from the computers and with the expand of the internet." said Satsuma.
"They are AI-Artifical Intelegence. Things." the assistant sharped his voice.
"Artifical Intelegence that's way much better than you are." whispered Satsuma.
"Comander Satsuma, I must warn you. If you try to insult me than you could ge fired." said the assistant with a threatengly tone in his voice. "What I wanted to say, it's just inhuman to send kids..."
"Actually, teenagers and some adults." said Satsuma with a smile.
"Whatever! It's inhuman to send KIDS to the frontline. Even if they have defeaded the Milleniu Monster and the Reaper Monster. These wars are a serious thing and we won't put kids in danger." said the assistant angrily.
"I didn't force them to go there. It was their desicion. And anywas, why do you people in DMAO call Milleniumon and Reapermon Milleniu Monster and Reaper Monster?" asked Satsuma calmly.
"Because those creatures are monsters!" replied the assistant.
"Well, some of them look human to me." said Satsuma. The assistant got red in his face. He was really angry. Satsuma countined. "I know what you wanted to say. Those wars are a job for the military. But I want to ask you a question. Did you watch episode 20. Out of Blue from Digimon Tamers, or possibly the third arc from Digimon Data Squad? You'll see that the military has no chance against the Digimon. Only humans partnered with Digimon have a chance against the bad Digimon. Those teens who went to the DigiWorld watched those animes and they know what dangers they're facing. However, they also know that they're our only hope." said Satsuma. The assistant frowned.
"The Head Chief will hear of that." he said and walked out. Satsuma sighed. He knew that he will probably soon lose his job.

[Intro Theme You Fight Me by Breaking Benjamin plays]

Belphemon Sleep Mode yawned as he absorbed the data of the Digimon he destroyed.

"I just need a little bit more and than I'm ready." he muttered to himself and looked over to Alpha D-City. "They have pretty strong defense forces. But theeeeey're nothing compared to my powers. However, I think I should keep them busy for a while till I don't reach my full strenght." A devious smile formed on his lips. He knew the perfect Digimon for doing a task like this.

"Hey, Thomas!"
"Marcus, Yoshi!"

Terriermon, Akita and Kenny who were on DoruGreymon waved the three Rangers and thier Digimon who were in the center of Alpha D-City. With the Rangers were also Ituski and Datamon.

"Hey Kenny, Akita! What are you doing here?" asked Yoshi as the boys and Terriermon got off DoruGreymon's back. DoruGreymon de-digivoluved.
"We had saved the Village of Leaves from a DarkKnightmon..." started Akita but was cut off by Terriermon.
"I saved the Village." said the bunny Digimon.
"Yeah, however, and we thought that you possibly need our help. So here we are." said Akita.
"That's nice from you guys. We actually could need some of your help since were facing Belphemon's minions." said Yoshi.
"Like Yoshi said, it's a matter of time when the Demon Lord himself attacks the City." said Marcus crossing his arms behind his head.
"We'll help you." said Kenny.
"Kenny, say, did you see anywhere Rene?" asked Thomas.
"As much as I know, she went together with Taito, Shoutmon and Renamon to the Green Village, Shoutmon's home village." said Kenny.
"So, she's with Taito..." muttered Thomas. He wasn't worried much about Rene's savety but about her relationship with Taito.

A Data Stream passed through Urban City, leaving two boys, a little lion and a wizard Digimon.

"Wow, that was ride." said Coronamon.
"Sheesh you're right. First we get dumped at the Desert Area and than immediantly we're brought to the City Area." Shawn rubbed his head. "Well, this looks like Urban City to me."
"And since when is Urban City black and white?" asked Wizardmon. Shawn sweadropped.
"Black-white City, Urban City, all the same. We're anyways in the City Area."
"Didn't that Massenger DemiDevimon say that Barbamon is in this Area? We should look around, maybe we meet Sleipmon or Duftmon." said Noah.

"Suzie's where!" exclaimed Sleipmon, Guardromon, Chuchidarumon and Duftmon when they heard what happened. As they came back from their little trip the Kapurimon told them that Suzie's missing.
"Knew it, someone should've stayed with her." said Guardromon. Chuchidarumon went outside.
"Hey, where are you going?" asked Duftmon.
"Suzie was my responsibility. I must find her." said Chuchidarumon.
"We're also going with you." said Guardromon.
"Wait, one should stay just in case that Suzie comes back." said Sleipmon. "Duftmon, you stay here."
"Why me! Aw,com'n I want to go with you." complained Duftmon.
"Nope, you stay here." cut Sleipmon off. Duftmon sulked as they went out.

"Why are you hiding your face underneath that helmet?" asked Suzie. Kotemon rose his head in confusion and looked at Suzie.
"I'm not hiding my face." he replied.
"Alright, though I'd like to see what's underneath it. You wouldn't mind?" asked Suzie. Kotemon stepped back.
"I'd be pleased if you don't." replied Kotemon.
"Alright." said Suzie. Kotemon sighed. He felt more like Suzie's babysitter then her partner. Or he was both?

Kotemon sighed. Since he was rebirthed, memories of his past life flowed back into his mind. He wondered about Dynasmon and the other Royal Knights. He wanted to meet them again. For now the only memories he had were the ones till the time Lucemon had killed him. The rest was just a blurry chaos.

"What are you thinking about?" aked Suzie.
"About a friend of mine. Dynasmon." replied Kotemon.
"You mean the white knight with black wings?" asked Suzie.
"Yes. You know him?" asked Kotemon.
"Yes, he's the partner of a friend of mine." said Suzie. Kotemon dropped his jaw.
"Wait! You say Dynasmon got a human partner? Unbeliviable!" said Kotemon.
"Why?" asked Suzie.
"Because he never wanted a partner." said Kotemon, remembering well his last conversation with Dynasmon.

-Flashback-

"I was wondering if you ever considered getting a human partner?"

Dynasmon sighed at this. He had known that Crusadermon was thinking about finding a human to be partnered to for awhile. He, on the other hand, had no intention in finding one. "Why would you want to find a human? They're useless and incompetent creatures. Humans will turn on us the first chance they get."

"Still, don't you ever wonder what it'll be like?" Dynasmon turned his back to Crusadermon "I've heard that humans can help us get stronger."

"We're royal knights. There is no stronger."

"Possibly "

Dynasmon sighed again. He knew it was Crusadermon's dream to get a partner for ever since he heard of the theory. They all were knights after all, their purpose was to protect. What's more he always felt like he needed to get stronger than he was, because of his past. "Well when you do find a partner, don't expect me to follow and find one too."

Crusadermon was shocked. He figured that Dynasmon would continue to suggest it was a bad idea and get Crusadermon to drop it. "You would be okay if I found one?"

"I would be annoyed, but I would be fine because it is what you want." He said turning back to Crusadermon with a sly smile.

-End of Flashback-

-So, he finnaly got a human partner. I can't wait to meet him again.- thought Kotemon.
"Heh, I'm sure Arisa and Karu-chan will be proud of me. And my daddy too." Suzie smiled happily. "He, he... You know what, I'm gonna introduce you to all my friends."
"Alright." Kotemon nodded. He than twitched. "Suzie watch out!"

He managed to get her out before a blast struck them. As the rose their look they saw a GuardiAngemon with an evil expression on his face.

"Invisible Snake-eyes!" Bagaramon observed any location within D-Alpha City using his ruby-eye, allowing him to instantaneously obtain any information he wanted to know. And now, he wanted to know how strong the defences in D-Alpha City were. He smirked as he saw only an Agumon, a Lalamon, a Gaomon, a Datamon, a Terriermon and a Dorumon.
"Pathetic Rookies! he hissed. "Choujigen Storm!" He generated a dimensional storm, though not so strong like normaly. He just wanted to get the ones who defend the city out.

"What was that?" exclaimed Marcus. Dorumon growled. The Rangers, Akita, Kenny, Itsuki and the Digimon were inside a deserted building.
"We have a visitor." he said.
"Itsuki, sir, stay here. We'll handle this problem." said Yoshi. Itsuki nodded while Datamon searched for the best place to hide. The group runned out of the building and went towards the subrub.

"Why do I have a feeling Belphemon's responsible for this." said Thomas.
"Wrong, this ain't Belphemon's work." said Kenny and pointed towards Bagramon.
"Bagramon is a Demon Lord Digimon. Although it was originally a high-ranking Angel Digimon that ruled over death, it despaired against the unreasonable justice of the world and rebelled against God. Bagramon is known across the Digital World as the "Sage of Death". Although Bagramon's sins will be forgiven if it repented before God, Bagramon will not go back to submission under God. This is because Bagramon still seeks to replace the "Unreasonable Justice of the World" that God constructed, and its goal in life is to banish God from the world with its "New Justice"." Akita read on his D-Power.
"Okay, so we have to deal with a psychopate who is kinda a Lucemon copy. It'll be easy. Momantai!" said Terriermon. Everyone swatdropped.
"Your sarcasumus is going to become better and better, Terriermon." said Kenny sarcastically.
"Thanks." said Terriermon.
"But your jokes are bad as ever." replied Marcus. Everyone nodded in agreement. Terriermon sweatdropped.
"Am, how about dealing with this fella?" pointed Terriermon at Bagramon who had a smirk on his face.
"Hey, why are you grining so dumbly?" asked Terriermon.
"Because I'm thinking about should I let you die quick or slowly." he frowned. "Hey, did you call me dumb?"
"No." Terriermon coughed. "Dumbo."
"What? Now you'll feel my wrath!" said Bagramon and slashed at them with his right arm.
"Great, now you made him mad at us Terriermon." said Kenny as they escape the attack.
"Momantai!" replied Terriermon. Kenny sweatdropped. He, Akita and the Rangers took out their digivolution cards.

[Shinka Theme Slash/Spiel dein Spiel by Digimon Tamers plays]

"DigiModify Warp Digivolution activate!" They slashed their cards.

WARP DIGIVOLUTION!

"Agumon, Warp Digivolution to..."

Agumon got covered in a red DigiEgg. Behind him appeared a orange dinosaur emblem. He digivoluved to an warrior like dragon Digimon.

"ShineGreymon!"

"Lalamon, Warp Digivolution to..."

Lalamon got covered in a green DigiEgg. Behind her appeared a pink dinosaur emblem. She changed to a more humanoid form, becoming a beautful woman in a red suit and black boots.

"Rosemon!"

"Gaomon, Warp Digivolution to..."

Gaomon got covered in a dark blue DigiEgg. Behind him appeared a light blue dinosaur emblem. He changed to a armor-claded wolf like warrior with a red cape.

"MirageGaogamon!"

"Terriermon Warp Digivolution to..."

Terriermon got covered in a green DigiEgg, with a green dinosaur emblem appearing behind. He turned into a mechanical dog like Digimon.

"MegaGargomon!"

"Dorumon, warp digivolution to..."

Dorumon got covered in a grey DigiEgg cocoon. Behind him appeared a black dinosaur. His form changed to a warrior like dragon Digimon. It had grey-blue metalic wings, armor all around his body and a blade tiped tail.

"Dorugoramon!"

"Hey, what was that for?" asked Suzie GuardiAngemon. The angel Digimon didn't reply.
"I don't think he can hear you Suzie. He seems to be under control." said Kotemon.
"And who should control him?" asked Suzie.
"One of the Demon Lords. Say, can you get some information about this guy? At least what level he is." said Kotemon rising his bamboo sword.
"I can't read." replied Suzie. Kotemon sweatdropped. He already forgot that Suzie was only 5 years old.
"Can you at least spell it?" he asked. "At least the first letter?"
"Well, daddy taught me a bit. Maybe I can." said Suzie and looked at her D-Power.
"Holy Espada!" GuardiAngemon slashed at them with with a cross-shaped energy blast.
"Hothead!" Kotemon tried to dodge it with his in flames covered katana, but the blast struck him at the wall of a building.
"Kotemon!" yelled Suzie in dismay.
"Well, I know he isn't a Champion, that's sure. Suzie, just say which level he is." said Kotemon. Suzie looked at her D-Power.
"Mmmmmm-e. Me-gg..." Suzie tried to read loudly.
"Mega, darn!" said Kotemon. He knew they were dead if he dosen't somehow digivoluve back to Crusadermon.

"Hey, look!" exclaimed Shawn as he saw Sleipmon, Guardromon and Chuchidarumon. The two boys and their Digimon runned towards the trio.
"Shawn, Noah, what are you doing here?" asked Sleipmon.
"Long short story. A Data Stream brought us here." replied Noah.
"I assume you finished your tasks." said Sleipmon. He wondered if Noah and Wizardmon had encountered Crusadermon.
"We had a battle with Crusadermon who was under Lucemon's control. And, no, we haven't found Merukimon. Yet." said Coronamon.
"You had a battle with Crusadermon?" asked Sleipmon. That would explain Crusadermon's DigiEgg. The boys nodded.
"We were actually on the way to the Primary Village as we got caought by a Data Stream." said Wizardmon. Sleipmon smiled. He knew well how much Dynasmon cared about his friend. He and Crusadermon were known as a dream team though they were diffrent.
"I don't think that you'll find his DigiEgg at the Primary Village." said Sleipmon. The boys and their Digimon looked at the Royal Knight confused.
"What do you mean?" asked Wizardmon.
"His DigiEgg is now in Suzie's possesion." said Sleipmon. "And Suzie's,...well, gone."
"WHAT!"

"Holy Espada!"
"Hothead!"

The two blasts, one light, second fire, hit each other, resulting in a minor explosion.

"Stop it, we don't want to battle!" yelled Suzie at GuardiAngemon. The controled angel Digimon didn't pay attention at the little girl's pleads.
"Thunder Kote!" Kotemon charged his fist with electrical current and punches GuardiAngemon. GuardiAngemon took the punch, but it hadn't any effect on him. He threw Kotemon back, making him hardly hit the ground.
"Kotemon!" yelled Suzie and runned towards her partner.
"Suzie, run...I don't want you get hurt." said Kotemon, trying to get up.
"You're nuts. I won't leave you." said Suzie.
"But..."
"No buts! I waited so long for a partner and now I got one. I won't leave you, that's my last." cried the little girl out. Her eyes started to tear. Kotemon was surpriesed by her determination. He stood up.
"If it's so, I will battle and protect you till I die." he said. Sudden memories flow through his mind. He remembered his last battle with Dynasmon. Dynasmon told him that he wanted to free him and that's why he had to kill him. Kotemon did understand this. And he was going to do the same with GuardiAngemon. Kotemon closed his eyes.

-Flashback-

Dynasmon wraped his hands around Crusadermon. He called out for his strongest attack. "BREATH OF WYVERN!"

He unleashed a blast of energy which struck them both.

"What are you doing?" yelled Crusadermon.
"I'm gonna free you!" yelled Dynasmon back. It all ended in a few seconds.

-End of Flashback-

"I'm gonna now free you." Kotemon opened his eyes. -Dynasmon, I promise, I'll protect Suzie no matter what the cost is.-

"Calumon what is it?" asked Hikaru. The little Catalyst looked at the sky completely lost in his own thoughts.
"I don't know. I just have the feeling that there's one more Digimon I need to help to digivoluve." said Calumon. Hikaru looked surpriesed at him. Calumon rose his head. "I just need to help him. Calu! Shining Digivolution!"

A red beam of energy from his head went right into the sky.

Suzie looked at Kotemon. She was afraid that she would lose him. For now, she felt like the weak, little, frightened girl she was.

"Kotemon!" she yelled. Just then a beam of red energy struck Kotemon.

WARP DIGIVOLUTION!

"Kotemon, warp digivolution to..."

Suzie noticed that he got covered into a DigiEgg like cocoon which was the same color as her D-Power. As the coocon faded away, a new Digimon stood in front of her covered in a pink armor and holding a golden shield.

"Crusadermon!"

"What was that?" asked Chuchidarumon as he, Guardromon, the two Tamers, Sleipmon, Wizardmon and Coronamon looked at the sky. They indeed noticed the red beam. It seemed like it was on the opposite side of the city.
"Let's go!" said Noah.

Barbamon cluched his staff as he noticed the red beam above Black-White City. He was standing on a tall building and observed Urban City. He pet his long white beard and looked curiosly at Black-White City. He indeed felt the power of the beam and he wanted to find out what it was. With a sly smile, he went towards the origin of the beam.

"Kotemon..." Suzie looked surpriesed at her partner.
"I'm Crusadermon, a member of the Royal Knights." said Crusadermon.

Suzie smiled. She always dreamt of being a princess and having a prince who would rescuse her. And Crusadermon was her prince or better to say, her knight.

"Show'm whatcha got!" she exclaimed.

"Holy Espada!" GuardiAngemon sent again a blast at them.
"Scarlet Tempest!" Crusadermon created a whirlwind firing it at the blast. The result was an explosion through which Crusadermon rushed at GuardiAngemon.
"Fist of Athena!" Crusadermon started shooting at GuardiAngemon with sonic booms from the Pile Bunker on its right arm. The angel Digimon dodged this attack.
"Laser Lattice!" Crusadermon created an energy net that projected out from the palm, getting GuardiAngemon caought in it. GuardiAngemon yelped in pain.
"Heaven's Ripper!" GuardiAngemon used the blades covering his body to cut through the netting. "Laser Lattice!" Crusadermon created a new net and charged towards GuardiAngemon.
"Spiral Masquerade!" Crusadermon's attacked with his four body-sash blades which extend from its armor cutting right through GuardiAngemon and making him disolve into data.

"Astral Snatcher!" Bagramon charged towards MegaGargomon with his thrused arm. MegaGargomon escaped the attack.
"DORU Din!" Dorugoramon released a destructive shock wave.
"Full Moon Blaster!" MirageGaogamon sent a blast at Bagramon. Bagramon escaped both attacks.
"GeoGrey Sword!" ShineGreymon attacked with his sword.
"Thorn Whipping!" Rosemon attacked with her whip. Bagramon jumped and the whip wraped clashed and wraped around the sword. Still in the air, Bagramon noticed MegaGargomon aiming at him.
"Mega Missle!"MegaGargomon fired gigantic megaton-class missiles from the gun turrets on his shoulders at Bagramon. Both missles struck the fallen angel Digimon, but Bagramon appeared from the smoke unharmed.

"I really enjoyed the time playing with you." He clenched his fist. "For now, good-bye. I'll be back soon. Choujigen Storm!"

With a sly smile, he again created a storm. As the storm faded away, he diseappeared.

"Seiken Gradalpha!" Alphamon drawed out a convergence of light that was pierced into the center of a magic array, and stabed it through the energy ball Lucemon formed around Gallantmon. The ball cracked, revealing the hurted de-digivoluved Guilmon.
"Alphamon!" exclaimed Lucemon and Takuto together, one surpriesed, the other confused.
"Digitalize of Soul!" Alphamon spread the wings on his back and flied up high, then deployed a magic circle even larger than the sky, with which he summoned a legendary monster from another dimension. It was jet black and reminded on a Chinese dragon. His eyes were red. The monster attacked Lucemon, while Alphamon snatched Takuto and Guilmon away.

"Ultimate Sacrisfice!" Lucemon fired two balls of light and darkness at the monster, anhihalating it completely. As he looked around he noticed that Alphamon, Takuto and Guilmon were gone.

Suzie, Crusadermon, Takuto and Guilmon had luck. Either they would be dead now. What'll happen next time? Stay tuned for Digimon Tamers Awake of the Demon Lords!

[Ending Song ~Days~ Aijou to Nichijo by Digimon Tamers plays]
