Mechazard: hey guy I'm back and I'm sorry about the whole thig with Guilmon 'dying' in the last chapter.
Ben: yeah that wasn't fair dude.
Mike: but you gotta remember Digimon don't really die.
Ben: I thought that was just in season one and two?
Mechazard: maybe, maybe not, but before I do the disclaimer I just want to remind everybody that I have a Deviantart account under the same name.
Ben: pretty uncreative to use the same name.
Mike: yeah that's pretty stupid.
Mechazard: I couldn't think of anything better at the moment, but before I get too into the explanation as to why, I don't own Ben 10 or Digimon in any way, shape, or form! On with the story!

It's been about a week since Guilmon was deleted, everybody took it differently, Rika began to worry about what would happen if it were Renamon, at least until she figured out about her and Takato's relationship.
Henry made plans for Mike to help him make a 'rebirth' card for everybody's Digimon after hearing the story of Mike creating custom cards for Amber by using her source code, unfortunately they couldn't do it for Guilmon…since there was no longer a source code to use.
Mike decided to look for a portal to the digital world, but at the moment he wasn't having much luck, he already checked Guilmon's old hut, knowing that here would be one there. But there wasn't. But while he searched he also stopped some crimes, a couple car thieves, a break-in and a bank robbery, but he stopped both the break-in and robbery by using his favorite transformation: Foxfury.
I was helping out in the bakery with my girls and going out on patrols with Mike in my spare time, luckily no other Digimon bio-emerged so far since Vikaralamon, doesn't mean we won't be prepared.
Renamon had stayed with Takato the whole time, she's the only one he'll let get close to him and she's been trying to reassure him that everything will be okay, but I'm not too sure he's listening.
Of course Takato took it the worst, Guilmon was his partner, his creation, seeing him now, it's like something inside of him broke, I've never seen anyone so sad before, every time I pass his room I see Renamon either hugging him while he slept, petting his head as it rested on her lap or just sitting near him, I'm not too sure he noticed, or even cared that she was doing it, but two things never changed, one: he always kept that broken look in his eye. And two: he never let go of his D-power.
Course I do know how he feels, I felt the same way when Malware destroyed Feedback when I was eleven, I felt just as bad if not worse…wait.
(Normal p.o.v.)
Ben had just finished downstairs after another day in the Matsuki bakery, now he was walking to his room, practically covered in a light layer of flour with Shoutmon, Blanc and Floramon, but unlike the other times he stopped in front of Takato's room and stood in the doorway "Takato?" he questioned as Renamon looked up at him.
"Go away" he said in a depressed monotone voice without even bothering to look at the bearer of the alien watch.
Ben just sighed before entering the room and taking a seat on the floor "I wanna tell you two a story" the dragon tamer said before Shoutmon, Floramon and Blanc took a seat on either side of him "scratch that, I wanna tell you five a story" he corrected himself.
"let me just start off by saying that we've all lost someone close to us," Ben started sadly "it happened to me once. It wasn't a person or a pet," he added quietly "it was Feedback. One of my transformations Blanc" he said facing the white clad female Digimon, knowing that she hasn't seen the specific transformation yet.
"Back when I was ten and had just barley started to master the Omnitrix's inner workings and aliens, I came across him. I never felt so much raw power in all my life until I turned into him, but it felt awesome. It felt amazing," this seemed to slightly get to Takato as he rolled his head on Renamon's lap to look at the Omnitrix wearer "I dunno why I liked him so much, but I turned into Feedback every opportunity I got," Ben explained, his voice becoming low and solemn with every word "and then, he was killed"
This caught everyone's attention, especially Takato's, Ben's forms could be killed? Removed from the Omnitrix without him perishing in the process? Now actually interested in to an extent the former tamer listened much more closely finally having a look other than depression on his face.
"It was just a normal day during my summer vacation with Grandpa Max and Gwen. I had just gotten back from draining car batteries and blasting them to bits with Feedback when I entered the Rust Bucket to find not only my Grandpa and Gwen sitting there, but also Azmuth. The creator of the Omnitrix."
Outside Takato's room Mie, Takehiro, Ranamon and Lillymon were listening in on the story "they told me that I used Feedback too much," Ben told them "they claimed that getting too attached to one of my aliens wouldn't let me have control over my others."
The bakers looked at each other with curious expressions "I got mad and left, only to be attacked by Malware," Ben sighed "Gwen told me to turn into Diamondhead, the only one of my aliens to ever defeat Malware in battle," Ben went on as the Digimon in the room listened more carefully.
"I should have listened"
"I ignored her and turned into Feedback to prove her wrong," the watch wearer continued "I was so stupid back then. Me and Malware fought, and before I knew it, he had managed to hack the Omnitrix itself, somehow managing to separate me and Feedback from each other."
"And then he destroyed him before my very eyes, disintegrating him into dust." Ben stopped; whether he was pausing to let his message sink in or because he couldn't speak, nobody was sure. But nobody dared to urge him to get on with it.
"I was never the same after that," Ben finally spoke, Lillymon breathing a silent sigh in relief "sure, I destroyed Malware with my bare hands after he destroyed Feedback," he said "call it poetic justice if you want, but I didn't care. Feedback was gone forever and I would never be the same."
"A couple days passed. Maybe weeks. I never kept track since it didn't seem to matter anymore," Ben went on. "The summer ended, and we went home. I didn't care at all anymore; nothing seemed the same without Feedback. Azmuth came to visit, but I ignored him."
The Digimon, parents and Digimon/human couple blinked "he told me something I've never forgotten to this very day: that while you may win some, you may lose some, you don't gain anything when you win. Rather, you gain more when you lose." Silence followed afterward as Ben sucked in a deep breath, as if about to deliver some horribly bad news. "I bet you're wondering why I just told you this"
"I told you this because you can either let Guilmon's death eat you alive from the inside out, or you can remember the good times you had with him and not just the bad" Ben explained "either way, think about what Guilmon would say if he saw you this way" the hero said as he stood up and left the room along with Shoutmon, Floramon and Blanc, the white clad one closing the door on the way out.
Takato just laid on his bed with his head on his yellow furred girlfriends lap "I'm sorry I couldn't save Guilmon, Takato" he heard the vixen apologize, causing the boy to look up at her.
"You would've been killed Renamon, I couldn't live with myself if I lost you too" he said before the Digivice in his hand beeped.
"New partner added Renamon" the red ringed device spoke as it displayed the information on the screen.
"Wow, I guess that means you're my partner?" Takato questioned in surprise before yawning, Renamon then took his head off her lap before laying down next to her boyfriend, draping an arm over her new tamer.
"Good night Takato, my tamer" the vixen said in a loving tone after the revised tamer fell asleep 'my love' she added in thought with a blush before falling asleep as well.
*Takato's dream, Takato's p.o.v.*
"Master Takato" a dark voice spoke, causing me to look around before seeing a gigantic red dragon Digimon with a kind of demonic edge to him.
"w-who?" I questioned in fear of the massive dragon before me.
"I am Megidramon, master. I can help you get back you're true partner, don't worry, your girlfriend will also remain, in addition to myself as well." Megidramon explained to me, causing me to blush at the mention of Renamon "the fox will go through a slight change in the process though, mostly in appearance" he said further.
"What about Rika? Renamon was HER partner until just before I fell asleep" I asked in worry that the redhead would skin me alive.
"Do not worry about her, she has already been informed and received a new partner Digimon" he reassured me.
Curious as to what else could happen I just had to ask "anything else?"
"Yes…you'll also gain some of the powers of your shapeshifting friends, as well as the power of the hazard and your Digivice will also gain the hazard power, this will also cause it to change." Megidramon explained making my eyes widen.
"Hazard?" I asked, not fully understanding what that meant.
"My power, in my hands alone it can destroy both the human and digital worlds easily, but in yours it may actually do some form of justice." The hazard Digimon defined to me.
"And I'll be able to transform like Ben and Mike can?" I asked already knowing what they could do, I got a nod in response.
"But you will have a limited number of forms to transform into." He added.
"What will I be able to transform into?"
"you will have access to a total of twelve forms, the ones your friend Ben calls Swampfire, Feedback, Chromastone, Jetray, Fourarms, Brainstorm, XLR8, Heatblast, Echo Echo, Cannonbolt, Upchuck and Big Chill" Megidramon explained as he listed off my different forms.
"Cool" I said in awe.
"Yes it is, but now I believe it's time for you to wake up" the dragon demon said before my vision went black.
*morning, normal p.o.v.*
Takato woke up in the same position as the night before, with Renamon's left arm draped over him, but it was different now, her arm guard was now blood red with a hazard symbol instead of purple with a yin-yang symbol, in the process the tamer flinched, causing the vixen to awaken.
Renamon jolted into a position where she was now sitting on her knees and bowing her head "I'm sorry Takato!" she shouted with a blush, this was the first time Takato had reacted to her in such close proximity.
"I-it's okay Renamon, to be honest I-I kinda liked it" he reassured before fully noticing the changes to his girlfriend's form, Megidramon said she would change in appearance, but this wasn't what the Matsuki boy was expecting.
Renamon looked completely different, her fur changed from yellow to red with a black hazard symbol on her white stomach, the tips of her ears, mane, and tail had turned black while her stomach, feet, and hands remained the same white color, and just like her left arm guard her right one had also turned blood red with a hazard symbol taking the place of the yin-yang symbol.
"I'm rea…wait…you liked it?" Renamon asked as she tilted her head in confusion, Takato nodded in response, but was slightly confused by her behavior.
"I forgot to mention that her personality will change slightly as well" a dark, demonic voice spoke within Takato's mind, the same one from his dream.
"Megidramon?" he questioned back through the link.
"Yes master, by the way, look on your left arm" the demonic dragon answered.
Curious the bakery heir looked to his left arm and saw what seemed to be a black band that took up his entire wrist with two white rings on each end that curved inwards toward a familiar sharp orange hourglass symbol inside a black and grey ring with a grey button just below the ring.
'That's cool' he thought to himself in awe.
"Now look on your right arm" Megidramon said once more, causing the boy to look at his other wrist.
This time there was a completely different device there, it looked more like a watch with a black wrist strap and on the back of his wrist a silver circular device with a card slot on the left side with the same red ring, screen and buttons as his Digivice, and a red card with the hazard symbol in the middle and the words 'Hazard's rebirth' etched just below the symbol resting in the card slot.
'What the heck are these things' Takato thought to himself, and as if they were activate by his thoughts both devices came to life.
"Omnivice online, tamer Takato Matsuki, partner Renamon" the now known as Omnivice said.
"Hazardmatrix activated, user recognized, Takato Matsuki" the now named Hazardmatrix explained in a computerized version of Takato's voice.
"That is both weird and cool" the red vixen commented, referring to the watch-like devices "now. You said you liked it?" Renamon asked, getting a nod from Takato in return, she suddenly felt a whole new level of nervousness as her heart began to pound in her chest, she shifted uncomfortably "Takato, I know we aren't very far in our relationship yet but…Takato, I-I l-l-lo-lo…" she began until she was interrupted by a full on passion filled kiss by her boyfriend.
After about five to ten full minutes the two broke away, gasping for air, but kept their foreheads together "I believe…you were…trying to say…'I love you'?" he questioned in between breaths, knowing full well exactly what the answer was.
But the answer he got, was not the one he expected.
The answer he got was another heated kiss.
*10 minutes later*
Takato and Renamon had gone downstairs and were currently waiting for Takato's parents, Ben, Shoutmon and Ben's girls to come in while trying to resist the urge to bring Guilmon back, but currently he was trying not to freak out as Renamon continued to rub her left cheek against his own blushing right one and Takato could swear he could hear the fox purring like a cat.
'Megidramon said slight, THIS ISNT FUCKING SLIGHT!' the red vixen tamer thought to himself, just as his parents, Ben, Ben's girls, Blanc and Shoutmon entered the room.
His father, Ben and Blanc all sweat dropped at the sight while Ben's girls adopted knowing grins and Shoutmon proceeded to roll on the floor laughing uncontrollably.
Ben sighed at his partner's immaturity before turning to the Omnitrix and selecting a transformation and slapping the core back down, letting the green light wash over his form.
The first change was incredibly major. Ben could feel himself being literally cut into strips through some unseen force, as if being cut by a giant pair of invisible scissors. He could fell his bones and organs disappear altogether, and for a brief moment Ben wondered if he was going to die within seconds. Imagine his relief when he didn't. He could feel each strip of his body vibrate with health, as if each were alive in its own way. Like magic, they twisted themselves together into a crude, muscled figure with exaggerated fingers and toes made of thin strips. He could feel his face harden and become flat, turning pointed and green and black in color. The face plate sat itself on top of the bandaged shoulders as a green and black headdress appeared on his head, a wide collar appearing on his neck as two tendrils sprouted from his back. Black and green braces appeared on his arms and ankles, a green belt with the Omnitrix on it appeared around his waist, finishing the transformation "Snare-oh!" the Thep Khufan shouted.
Snare-Oh then preceded to stretch his bandages outward and wrap them around his partners mouth effectively silencing the now fuming dragon before turning to his young friend "you mind explaining why Renamon now looks like a foxlike version of Guilmon and why she's nuzzling you like a house cat?" the Thep Khufan questioned with one eye raised slightly, giving him the indication of a raised eyebrow.
"Before we fell asleep last night, my Digivice beeped and told us that she was now my partner, causing her to change in appearance overnight" the tamer explained.
"But when I fell asleep, I had this dream where this demon dragon Digimon named Megidramon told me that he could get Guilmon to come back to me, while also being able to keep Renamon as a partner and gain HIM as a partner" Takato added, not noticing Snare-oh's eyes widen slightly at the mention of the demonic dragon's name.
"He also told me that my Digivice would change in the process as well as gain the powers of the hazard and the same powers as you and Mike" the hazard powered one finished as he looked at Ben.
At the mention of their son gaining powers the baker's eyes widened while Snare-Oh had a gap in the bandages in his mouth area at the mention of his fellow tamer having the same powers as him.
"How can you have the same powers as Ben? Wouldn't you need an Omnitrix to do that?" Lillymon questioned in confusion until Takato held up his arms, revealing the Omnivice and Hazardmatrix.
"what?" the Thep Khufan questioned before the Omnitrix timed out, bringing Ben back into the world "it looks just like the one I had when I was 10!" he exclaimed in awe before walking over to his fellow tamer and inspecting the watch.
He turned the dial and scrolled through the active list, identifying the transformations his friend possessed before he finished his observation and walked back over to his partner, girls and Takato's parents.
"Now to bring back an old friend" Takato said before taking the red card out of his pocket "Digi-modify: Hazard's Rebirth, Activate!" he shouted as he slashed the card.
The card then dissolved into a cloud of red data before reforming into two red spheres, the glowing balls then dissipated, revealing Guilmon and what looked to be a black version of the original hazard rookie.
"TAKATOMON!" the red dinosaur exclaimed in joy as he tackled the boy to the floor.
"Guilmon, I missed you buddy" Takato greeted though tears of joy while the others smiled at the scene.
Just then a new voice cleared their throat "I'm sorry to break up this reunion, but I think I should introduce myself" the black dinosaur commented in a voice almost completely different from his double.
Whereas Guilmon's voice was child-like and playful, this guy's voice was more mature and a little more serious, but still kept a little bit of playfulness in it "My name is BlackGuilmon, formerly known as Megidramon, it's nice to meet you in person Takato" the now named BlackGuilmon introduced.
"Nice to meet you too BlackGuilmon" Takato replied as he stood up off the floor and shook the black hazard Digimon's clawed hand.
"you know, I was just about to go meet the others so we could try and find that portal to the digital world" Ben mentioned, catching the hazard tamer's attention "I know the others would like to have you back" he added, getting a nod from the boy in return.
*15 minutes later, Guilmon's hut*
As Takato, Ben, Shoutmon and Ranamon walked up the steps to the stone house, they could hear the sounds of all the tamers and Albedo talking until one saw them coming.
"What are you doing here Takato? You're not a tamer anymore" Rika questioned alerting the others of his appearance as well.
"Be nice now sis, he may not be a tamer anymore but that doesn't mean he's not our friend" Mike scolded the redhead.
"Besides, I could say the same thing about you Rika" Ben said.
"What's he talking about Rika?" Terriermon questioned in confusion.
"Yeah, and where IS Renamon?" Henry inquired, the question making Takato grin.
"I know where she is…Renamon!" the hazard tamer shouted, not even a full five seconds later the red vixen appeared out of thin air.
"You called my tamer?" Renamon asked, just as they practiced, shocking the tamers, except for Ben and Rika causing the Omnitrix bearer, Hazardmatrix bearer and Shoutmon to laugh.
"Oh, that is just priceless!" the red dragon laughed furiously.
"Why am I not surprised" the Alphamatrix bearer questioned to himself before turning to the Nonaka girl "if Renamon's not your partner anymore than why didn't you tell me?" he asked.
"I was waiting for these two goggle heads" she answered as she jerked a thumb in the four new arrivals direction "Neromon!" she shouted before a black version of Renamon appeared next to her "yes my mistress?" the black fox questioned in a female voice.
"Now, allow me to introduce you to my other two partners…Guilmon, BlackGuilmon!" he shouted once more before the two reptiles in question jumped out from the trees.
"But…GUILMON'S DEAD!" everybody but Ben, Takato and their Digimon yelled in surprise.
Mike then looked between the two dinosaurs, the red fox and their tamer, before slapping himself in the face "okay, now I know I'm not crazy" he said in all seriousness.
"I brought him back thanks to Megidramon a.k.a. BlackGuilmon" Takato explained causing Leomon and Terriermon to freeze in fear.
"M-M-Megidramon?!" the two exclaimed in absolute fear.
"Yup, I used to be Megidramon" the black hazard Digimon said as he smirked evilly.
"But Megidramon is the most evil Digimon in the entire digital world!" Terriermon exclaimed, causing the black hazards smirk to vanish and be replaced by a hurt glare.
"He doesn't seem that bad, I mean he brought Guilmon back" Ben said.
The former Galvan smiled "now all we need is a way to get to the digital world." He commented.
"I suppose this is where I make my entrance" said a new gentlemanly voice. Everyone whipped their heads around to look at the back of the hut where a black and grey haired man stood. He seemed to be in his late thirties, possibly even fifties, though Ben and Mike knew it would be impossible to tell. He wore a white lab coat with gold trimming and black pants with brown boots. A pair of green tinted goggles was around his neck and he leaned on a cane. His right hand was missing, replaced by a large, metal gauntlet with a clock on its top.
Ben and Mike proceeded to walk up to the mysterious man "hey Paradox, long time no see?" the Omnitrix bearer commented.
The Professor chuckled lightly at the joke and dug around in his pocket, pulling out a small, brown paper bag. "Would anyone like a gumball?" he asked with a kind smile. The others politely declining the offer "your loss" he shrugged before putting the bag back into his pocket.
"Mike, Ben, you know this guy?" Amber questioned, making herself known as Ben and Takato finally took notice of her current form.
She was still in her rookie form, but now she was wearing a purple V-neck t-shirt that stops just above her midriff while still showing off her golden mane and under belly, a midnight blue skirt that stops at the mid knee with a silver crescent moon over the right leg area, and the same golden arm guards with the yin-yang symbols on the area covering the back of her hands.
Her tamer nodded before turning back to the time walker "everyone this is Professor Paradox, a time walker." Mike explained.
"Now then, shall I answer a few of your questions?" the man questioned.
"I was just about to say that" Henry said.
"Ah, yes. I already knew that" Paradox replied "as always Henry, you are the one to get right to the point" he added.
"You know my name?" the rabbit tamer questioned, curious as to how the strange man before them knew his name without introducing himself "how?"
"I, dear boy am a time walker. I have the ability to travel back and forth through time as much as I please! Within reason, of course." Paradox explained as he saw the stunned expressions on the tamers and Digimon's face "now then, you all must be simply bursting at the seams with questions. Let's begin shall we? Benjamin, I'm sure you have a question you are dying to ask."
Ben nodded "are Gwen, Kevin, Rook, and Grandpa Max alright?" Paradox nodded with a smile.
"As usual Ben, you are most concerned for those you love. Your parents and Mike's mother are fine as well, though they are quite worried about the both of you. I suppose I should have taken that into account when I opened up the time portal beneath you," the Time walker mumbled to himself, though not as quietly as he had hoped.
"Wait, what? You're the reason we're here?!" Mike yelled, though Paradox seemed unfazed by his outburst as he continued to explain.
"Yes Michael, I am. And I have brought you to this dimension for a very good reason." The Professor added, calming Mike down slightly. "You see, I could not allow Vilgax and Albedo's influence on this dimension's time line to go unnoticed. While I am glad Albedo has switched to the side of good, there is still the matter of Vilgax to take care of." Paradox explained "you see, Vilgax plans to use the Digimon Sovereign to conquer this dimension with ease, believing it will be far more easy that trying to rule over your current dimension. Should he succeed, disaster will befall not only this dimension, but all those known across time and reality."
"How the fuck did Vilgax get here?" the silver vixen tamer whispered in confusion.
"It's just Vilgax. How bad could it be?" Ben scoffed.
"Unfortunately it could be very bad. Especially now that he has Calumon in his clutches." Paradox explained.
"Aint that the truth" Mike mumbled.
"Anyways, Makuramon has stolen Calumon as a power source for Vilgax's device. Should it be successful, it will tear a hole in the space time continuum." The time traveler explained.
"Is that what happened to you?" Rika asked.
"Yes, but should Vilgax succeed, the future events will be far more dire." The immortal man explained further.
"What? Is it gonna create a black hole that will destroy all of reality?" Kazu scoffed.
"No, but it will rip a hole back into the very reaches of existence. The 'back of beyond' if you will" Paradox explained.
"And, why exactly is that bad?" Leomon asked.
Paradox smiled at the Lion Digimon before continuing. "You remember Maltruant correct?" he asked before Ben nodded.
"That lunatic Clockwork guy? Wasn't he destroyed?" he said as his expression worsened.
"The same. You see, another dimension's Maltruant succeeded in remaking the universe in his own image. That dimension's Ben was able to barely defeat him afterward, but the effect was already done. To prevent the event from ever happening, I brought that Maltruant to a pocket dimension I had Azmuth create outside of the universe. A sort of storage closet of which only I have the key, if you will." Paradox explained to the confused children.
"Just out of curiosity, which alternate me was it?" Ben asked.
"Believe it or not, it was an anthropomorphic pony version of you" Paradox added with a mischievous smile. The kids, Alphamatrix bearer and Digimon instantly broke into a gigantic fit of laughter as Ben fumed and crossed his arms over his chest, waiting for the laughter to die down as Paradox continued.
"Unfortunately, that pocket dimension is rather close to this one, though it cannot be accessed through this plane, but within the digital world. And should Vilgax's plan succeed, he will open a path to the back of beyond that will release Maltruant and grant him the ability to try and make this universe in his own image. Needless to say, that cannot happen, which is why I brought the both of you here." Paradox explained. "However, once I leave, I shall not be able to return without the Time Walker of this set of dimension's permission."
"Wait, what?" Shoutmon wondered
"Oh, I feel a second time headache coming on." Ben groaned.
"You and me both" Mike grumbled in agreement.
Paradox chuckled "perhaps. I shall try to explain it as painlessly as possible. Now then, imagine that this dimension is a tree." He started before a new voice interrupted.
"at the base of this tree is the main timeline, with the branches and leaves branching out into separate realities and possibilities" Mike explained, much to the others amazement "this tree stands in the middle of a forest, were all the other trees represent completely different realities and time lines that have nothing to do with the original timeline. A perfect example being the Ben 10 timeline and the Digimon Tamers timeline, which we are currently in." he explained before Paradox decided to take over but was interrupted once more.
"Ugh, my head hurts" Terriermon moaned as he rubbed his sore head as his tamer groaned in agreement.
"Hmm. Maybe I won't have to give you a…uh, spoilers" Paradox quickly remembered. Henry and Terriermon cracked an eyebrow, asking him to explain "Mr. Wong, there are certain laws of the space time continuum that I must obey, one of which is not revealing future events to past people or bringing past and future versions of a person to the present one without good reason." He explained, most of the tamers and Digimon looking at him in confusion, though Henry seemed to get it.
"So, let me get this straight, there are like billions of clustered dimensions out there not even closely related to ours, as well as a few that are nearly parallel to ours?" Rika asked "ooh, I see why you get a headache now bro" she said to Mike who smirked.
"As much as I love the throbbing pain in my head right now, I would just like to point out that my twin here discovered a portal to the digital world in that little hole he dug." BlackGuilmon said, speaking for the first time in quite a while.
"Is that what that was? I had no idea, thanks brother" Guilmon said.
"Yes, and, brother?" BlackGuilmon questioned, Guilmon nodded before continuing.
"Of course, you and I are the same type and species of Digimon, and you and I were reborn at the same time. So it means we're twins. Also Takato made us, so does that make him our Digi daddy?" the red dinosaur questioned with a tilted head as Henry, Terriermon, Jeri, Kazu, Kenta, Ben, Shoutmon, Ranamon, Mike, Amber, Devi, Beastmon, Rika and Renamon laughed at both the comment and Takato's blushing face at the realization that Guilmon was right.
BlackGuilmon thought about it for a few seconds before smiling his calm yet evil smile and nodded "well, when you put it like that, I guess you're right, little bro" the black scaled Digimon agreed causing his brother to cheer and Takato to smile.
"Yes. But as much as I would love to stick around, time is of the essence" Paradox droned, checking his metal gauntlets watch as a swirling blue portal opened up behind him. "I must be off now. But before you go off to the digital world I suggest you tell your parents." He added "toodahloo!" the professor then stepped through the portal without another word, the swirling vortex closing behind him.
"Now that he's gone, I think we need to come up with a plan" Henry suggested.
"Henry's right, we need to get back on track so that we can stop this Vilgax guy and save Calumon." Takato added.
"Okay here's what we do, Takato, Henry, Rika, Jeri, Mike and I will go to the digital world with our partners and fight on that half of the battlefront while Albedo and the rest of Mike and my girls hold down the fort here in case of anymore Digimon attacks as well as keeping an eye on Yamaki" Ben instructed as he laid out the plan.
"What about us?" Kazu questioned in annoyance
"Yeah, why do you guys get to go to the digital world? Why do we have to stay here and get cut out of the action, if we go there we have a good chance of finding our own Digimon partners" Kenta whined.
Mike then groaned "fine, you two walking tumors can come, but only because we don't want to deal with anymore complaints about you two not going"
"Yeah" both boys exclaimed in excitement before Mike's words finally sunk in "HEY!" they shouted in offence while the Alphamatrix bearer smirked.
Suddenly a shrill scream caught their attention and the group made their wat towards the direction it came from.
It was a digital field.
Without a second thought the team rushed in and saw what looked to be a couple of mummy Digimon, a sphinx Digimon and a Pinocchio knock-off fighting against a blonde haired woman wrapped up in pure white bandages and another blonde haired woman wearing an all-black leather biker outfit and a mask in the shape of a bird with an extra eyehole for the third eye in the middle of her forehead and black feathered wings sticking out of the back of her coat.
"Mummymon, ultimate level, virus type, we gotta watch out for those Necrophobia and Snake Bandage attacks" Henry explained as he looked at the data his Digivice displayed.
"Venusmon, holy spirit type, Mega level, she's supposed to be a Digimon filled with love and compassion, I'm not seeing it, but those Healing Therapy, LOVE YOU and Peace Fantasia attacks don't help the fact that she's willingly fighting those other Digimon." Ben added as he looked up the female Digimon's stats.
"Puppetmon, Mega level, virus type, puppet Digimon, his puppet pummel attack really packs a punch" Rika explained as she read the data off her D-power.
"AncientSphinxmon, Mega level, ancient mythical beast Digimon, his dark blast and Nero Eclipse attacks are pretty powerful" Takato said as he repeated the info his new Omnivice gave him.
"Bellestarrmon, mega level, virus type, demon woman Digimon, her Fly bullet and double shot attacks are NOT something to mess with" Mike informed as he read off the Biker clad woman's stats "and I have to admit; she's pretty hot." He added, getting odd looks from everyone.
"Hey Takato, ready to put your new powers to the test?" Mike questioned as he scrolled through his alien watch.
The hazard/vixen tamer nodded before turning to his own alien device, he just didn't know how to work the damn thing "how does this thing work?" he asked before Mike face palmed.
"Ask Ben, I never saw how he activated it" the silver vixen tamer said.
"all you have to do is push the button, then turn the faceplate to pick an alien, then you just slap it back down" Ben explained as he scrolled through his aliens, before coming up on the one he wanted and slapped the core back down, letting the ever familiar green light wash over him.
His skeleton crunched and twisted, forcing itself out from beneath Ben's skin and to the surface where it proceeded to melt together into a single casing that covered his entire body, leaving only two openings for his eyes. A loud crunching sound filled the air as the bone casing split along his back, chest, and limbs, becoming segmented on his belly and forming a hard shell on his back. His jaw jutted outwards, his skin fusing with the bone as it became serrated like teeth. Spikes formed along his muscled arms, two more spikes jutting out from either side of his massive jaws. A loud and sickening splitting filled the air as a long, forked, horn-like protrusion split out from the top of his skull as his toes fused together into two claws. The Omnitrix appeared on the alien's chest, completing the transformation "Eatle!" the beetle-like alien announced.
"I was going for Humongousaur Omnitrix, not Eatle" Ben complained as he pointed to the hourglass symbol on his chest.
"You always try to use your Vaxasaurian form" Skurd commented.
"you, need to start thinking Ben, Humongousaur isn't always the answer" Mike scolded as he turned to the Alphamatrix, selected Sonic Boom and slapped the core back down, allowing the blue light to wash over him.
His skin suddenly exploded into patterns of the prime colors, red, blue and yellow, racing over his body until it looked like a paint truck had exploded on him. He looked down at his feet to find them completely vanishing into box-shaped toes, rings of cubes and squares racing up his legs with the sound of a thousand clattering LEGO bricks. The rings ran up his body, becoming wider as they reached his chest and arms, his fingers melting together to form three digits on each hand. The blocks raced up his back and neck to envelope his face, making his face cubular and boxy as the Alphamatrix appeared on his chest, completing the transformation "Rubix Dude!" the Segmentasapien announced.
"Mother fucking watch" Rubix Dude grumbled before a flash of red light caught his attention.
His skin began to harden into a smooth covering, little diamonds and crystals racing up his arms and legs as his bones disappeared altogether and he shot upwards a few feet. Albedo felt his jaw line push out a little ways, his teeth fusing together into two, hard plates as his head pinched back into a sharp crest. Two, sharp blades suddenly sprouted from his back as his entire body hardened into a diamond-like substance, a black and red jumpsuit materializing on his body with the Ultimatrix attached to a red belt around his waist, completing the transformation "Negative Diamondhead!" the Petrosapian announced.
"I guess it's my turn" Takato said before he pushed the button, causing the core of the watch to pop up, slightly startling the tamer before the face shifted, merging the corners of the hourglass together until they became the shape of a diamond.
A black full body image of a humanoid figure with a head of fire appeared, Takato then turned the dial to the left, and the image changed to one of a four armed muscular humanoid, thinking this one could be good, the hazard tamer slapped down on the core before becoming engulfed by a bright orange flash of light.
His skinny figure suddenly swelled as hundreds of muscles piled up on top of each other, sending his growing form upwards until he was more than three times as tall as his previous form. His fingers pulsed as think veins appeared on his arms, sending alien blood through them. A second pair of eyes appeared above his own and every hair on his head disappeared. A short beard appeared on his chin and a similar one on the top of his head, stretching down to his nonexistent nose as his jaw jutted out. Suddenly a second pair of smaller arms burst out from under his own, still just fresh muscle and bone. A rough, red skin covering him. Ben's toes melded into two large claws as a row of small spikes appeared on his head and shoulders. A orange t-shirt with black stripes down the middle and on the sleeves with a hazard symbol appearing over the right pectoral and a pair of black pants appeared as well as two pairs of black fingerless came out of nowhere on his large hands and the Hazardmatrix appearing on his upper left shoulder, as well as the Omnivice appearing on his lower left wrist finishing the transformation "Hazard Fourarms!" the Tetramand announced.
The new Takato then looked himself over in awe "so, this is what it feels like to transform?" he questioned aloud as he clenched and unclenched all four of his fists.
"Pretty much, feels good don't it?" Rubix Dude asked with a grin.
"Hell yeah it does!" Hazard Fourarms grinned before turning to his partners and friends "you guys ready?"
"You got it handsome" Renamon said in a lustful tone, sending shivers down her alien boyfriends' spine.
"We're ready, right little bro?" BlackGuilmon questioned to his red counterpart, getting a nod in return.
"Neromon?" Rika questioned to the black fox.
"Yes my mistress" Neromon confirmed with a nod.
"Terriermon?" Henry questioned.
"I'm just waiting for you" the rabbit answered.
"Leomon?" Jeri questioned, getting a nod in response
"Amber, Wildcat, Devi, you girls ready for a fight?" the Segmentasapien questioned, getting nods from the fallen angel and vixen but an odd look from the cat girl.
"Wildcat?" she questioned in confusion.
"I figured you needed a new pet name, kinda thought Princess sounded like I was saying you were my daughter or something" Rubix Dude explained "like it?" he asked.
"No" she said simply, causing the LEGO man's face to drop "I love it, just like I love you my prince" she added, getting a smile from the alien.
"Shoutmon, Ranamon?" Eatle questioned to the dragon and water attributed one.
"Ready to rock n' roll Ben" Shoutmon said as he readied his microphone staff.
"Let's do this Shugah" the wet wonder added as she got into a battle stance.
Hazard Fourarms, Rika and Henry then pulled out a card each "Digi-modify: Matrix Digivolution Activate!" the three of them shouted in unison as they slashed the cards.
"Digivolution" the three Digivice's said in unison.
"Guilmon Matrix Digivolve to…" the champion said before the new power flowed through him changing his form as he grew slightly larger gaining robotic features with axe's on his arms and, for lack of a better description, a red tank for his entire upper body "WarGrowlmon!"
"Renamon Matrix Digivolve to…" the red vixen announced before becoming engulfed in a cocoon of data, transforming into a humanoid shape wearing a white Japanese sorceress outfit with the hazard symbol in the center of her chest, baggy black pants, long white sleeves with red shoulder pads and a pointy black hat, her face resembling a more human version of her rookie form "Taomon!" the new ultimate announced.
"BlackGuilmon Matrix Digivolve to…" the champion said before the new power flowed through him changing his form as he grew slightly larger gaining robotic features with axe's on his arms and, for lack of a better description, a red tank for his entire upper body "BlackWarGrowlmon!"
"Terriermon Matrix digivolve to…" the bunny shouted as his current form grew taller and became covered in green armor on his shoulders, upper body, thighs, and feet, his arms transformed into rocket launchers and a green helmet appeared on his head "Rapidmon!" the new ultimate announced.
"Neromon Matrix Digivolve to…" the black canine announced before becoming engulfed in a cocoon of data, transforming into a humanoid shape wearing a grey Japanese sorcerers outfit with the yin-yang symbol in the center of his chest, baggy black pants, long grey sleeves with black shoulder pads and a pointy black hat, her face resembling a more human version of his rookie form "ShadowTaomon!" the new ultimate announced.
"I'm gonna start off with a little shower" Ranamon said as she thrust her hands into the air "Drainin' Rain!" she shouted as a dark grey cloud appeared above the enemy Digimon's heads, before sending down a rainstorm that drained the Digimon of their energy.
"let's get this over with, Block Cannon!" the toy resembling alien said before shifting his body with a loud clattering sound, forming two large cannons on his back before they began firing at the mummy Digimon.
The Holy Spirit and biker girl looked back at the group behind them "who the hell are you? WHAT the hell are you?" the black leather wearer questioned in awe of the Segmentasapien.
"Seriously? You didn't notice the flashes of colored light, or the shouting?" he asked in his gravelly voice.
"Now that you mention it; I thought I saw something?" Venusmon questioned as she cupped her chin
"How can you see with those bandages covering your eyes?" Eatle asked as he dug his claws into the concrete and tore out a chunk before eating it.
"Uh Eatle? Is now really the time for a snack?" Rika questioned as she saw the beetle alien eat the street.
"for me it is" he said before a high pitched whine filled the air and a beam of green energy blasted out from the fork in his horn, the blast hitting one of the Mummymon, causing the bandaged Digimon to stumble back.
"I don't know what you are but you'll pay for that" the mummy said before he aimed his gun at the alien "Snake Bandage!" he shouted as he shot an energy bullet out of the guns barrel.
The blast was blocked however by a wall of mint green crystal, the gem wall was then sucked back into the ground "thanks Albedo" Eatle said to the transformed Galvan turned human.
"your welcome Tennyson" the Ultimatrix bearer replied before shooting mint green crystal shards at the sphinx Digimon, the mega level Digimon then took to the air, dodging each shard with ease.
Negative Diamondhead gritted his teeth in anger before turning to the Hazardmatrix user who just punched one of the mummy Digimon into the side of a building "hey, Matsuki, how's your throwing arm?" the Petrosapian asked to the Tetramand.
Hazard Fourarms shrugged "don't know, but I'm willing to find out" he added with a smirk.
"good, I need you to throw me at AncientSphinxmon" Albedo said before the tetramand lifted him into the air and threw him like a football, in the process Negative Diamondhead morphed his arms into a couple of blades before he made contact.
The impact causing the sphinx to crash to the ground.
"Atomic Blaster!" BlackWarGrowlmon shouted as he fired a beam of black energy from the cannons on his chest. (Mechazard: no shit, this is one of his actual attacks, I did a little research on him and all of the other Digimon so I could write a better story.)
"Nice one brother, my turn" WarGrowlmon said before the blades on his arms began to glow "time to chop some wood; Radiation Blade!" the cyborg shouted as he slashed at the puppet.
The wooden mega dodged the attack easily "you'll have to do better than that" he said before pulling out a massive mallet from out of absolutely nowhere "Puppet Pummel!" he shouted as he brought the hammer down on WarGrowlmon's head.
"don't you dare hurt my brother!" the black cyborg shouted in anger before his own blades glowed with a black aura "Double Blades!" he shouted as he slashed Puppetmon, the attack actually doing enough damage to delete the wooden annoyance.
"Thanks BlackWarGrowlmon" the red counterpart commented in gratefulness.
"No problem little bro, we gotta look out for each other" the black counterpart replied back before seeing a flash of blue light.
His skeleton cracked and crunched loudly as it realigned and shifted itself into a more flexible position that allowed his bones to hollow out and reinforce themselves with numerous, small rods that made them stiff and more durable as muscles weaved and threaded themselves underneath his skin as his spine arched and cracked and forced a long tail to whip out from the base of his spine that already snapped back and forth with anticipation as fresh tissue and skin enveloped it before long, fine, midnight blue hair began to sprout and form a fluffy tail; the soft fur traveled up Mike's back from there, enveloping him in relative warmth as the midnight blue fur crossed over his shoulders and down his chest, covering his arms and racing down his stomach and to his legs and feet, engulfing his hands as his ears sharpened and became pointed and rotated to the top of his head. His eyes flashed a bright blue in color as they widened apart slightly as his skull cracked and pushed forward, his jaws lengthening and molding into a canine-like muzzle that quickly filled with sharp fangs that pushed up and through Mike's gums while his legs bent back into a new joint; his toes and fingers shortened and grew slightly bigger, forming paws and vague hands of sorts tipped with claws. A pair of blue armguards appeared on each arm with the Alphamatrix symbol over the back of the hands as well as a pair of blue shorts appearing on his body and a blue belt with the Alphamatrix symbol in the middle "Foxfury!" the Renamon announced.
Suddenly the blue fox rushed forward in blinding speeds before jumping into the air "Diamond Storm!" he shouted as the glowing blue energy materialized around him, with little more than a thought he fired the Diamond attack at one of the mummy Digimon, effectively defeating the ultimate level Digimon with little effort.
It was then that Bellestarrmon walked up to Foxfury "so, you can even transform into a Digimon?" she asked the midnight blue Renamon, getting a nod in response before a loud 'bang' was heard from behind him, and for some strange reason Foxfury fell into the biker clad one's arms and into unconsciousness.
Devi and Wildcat saw the whole thing, including who shot their boyfriend: a third Mummymon, except this one was different from the other two they had just deleted, instead of white bandages, this guys were black, and his gun wasn't attached to his arm but mounted on his shoulder.
"That's one problematic shapeshifter down, three more to go" he said with a sadistic smirk.
The Alphamatrix then shortly timed out afterwards, at this point however, Devi and Wildcat were all shaking with anger, and for some strange reason, so was Bellestarrmon.
"He did NOT just do that" Devi growled in rage before she began to glow a dangerous red.
"Unfortunately for him he did" Wildcat replied as she too began to radiate with a red energy.
"Mega Digivolution" the silver vixen tamer's Digivice said in its feminine computerized voice.
"LadyDevimon Mega digivolve to…" the fallen angel shouted before she was encase in a sphere of data, transforming into a woman with white feathery wings on her right and black leathery wings on her left, wearing an outfit that looked to be some sort of battle armor, colored in coordination with the wings and a helmet, resembling Angewomon, but with bigger wings and the right half being black while the left was black "Mastemon!" the new mega announced.
"Beastmon Mega Digivolve to…" the cat girl began before she was encased in a sphere of data transforming into a red haired woman in green armor with four metal golden wings, and a scythe on her back "Ophanimon Falldown Mode!" the Fallen Angel mega announced.
"Whoa" Hazard Fourarms said before a beeping sounded from his shoulder, the noise ceased as the Hazardmatrix timed out, replacing the Tetramand with Takato, who then took out his Omnivice "Ophanimon Falldown mode, mega level, vaccine type, fallen angel Digimon, geez she not only got more powerful but scarier too with those Flame Hellscythe and Demon's Crystal attacks." He explained before Eatle walked up from behind him.
The Omnitrix timed out seconds later, bringing Ben back to this universe before he too turned to his Digivice. "Don't forget about Mastemon, she's a mega level too, Vaccine type, she's an angel Digimon who manipulates light and darkness, and has the power to cross through space-time, but her real power comes out in her Chaos Degradation attack"
"You attacked our lover" the new Mastemon said in a dangerous tone, much more dangerous than her previous form could ever hope to pull off.
"Now you shall pay the price" Ophanimon FD mode finished for her fellow vixen tamer lover.
"It doesn't matter, we have already taken what we needed" the black Mummymon commented.
"What do you mean by that?" Bellestarrmon questioned as she put down the boy and put his head on her lap.
"We have the silver glitch" he informed with a sadistic smirk.
"Chaos Degradation!" the angel shouted as miniature black holes opened up in various spots around the mummy sucking him in and causing massive amounts of pain before the attack abruptly stopped.
(Mechazard: If you saw it, think of that scene from the episode 'and then there was Ben' in omniverse, where Atomic X took his turn attacking Vilgax)
"Flame Hellscythe!" the fallen one shouted as the scythe burst into flames and fired the flame at the Mummymon, the Digimon in question let out an unearthly scream, as if his very soul was being sucked out of his body and sent straight to the deepest depths of hell.
Then, without any warning, indication, sign or otherwise, the mummy dispersed into a cloud of data.
"Good riddance" Bellestarrmon muttered as she continued to keep watch over the Alphamatrix bearer.
After a few more seconds the two new Mega's glowed before shrinking down into the forms of two small dogs, as the glow died down it revealed that the only differences were that one was black and the other was a light tan.
Henry then took out his D-power as it displayed the necessary information "BlackSalamon and RedSalamon, both Rookie level Digimon and both are data type, these must be Devi and Wildcat's rookie forms" the Wong boy summarized.
All of a sudden Mike bolted straight up, then cringed "anyone get the number of that truck?" he joked before looking around "what the hell happened?" he asked.
"A black Mummymon took a shot at you while your back was turned. Then Devi and Wildcat digivolved to Mega and deleted him" Ben explained "but before they did he said they had what they came for."
This intrigued the Lycoan boy "what did they come for?" he asked in confusion.
At the question everybody's faces darkened "Mike" Ben started "they took Amber" he said sadly.
Skurd: one friend gained, one RE-gained and one lost.
Ben: what is Vilgax planning to do with Amber?
Mike: how will Mike get her back?
Mechazard: we'll find out next time, and please don't forget to check out my Deviantart account, and also don't forget to fav, follow and review! See ya!
