This is the undead writer speaking. I am finally back from my vacation (and having some problems with a dam virus that infected my computer). This will be the final chapter of the 3-parter as well as the first arc of the story. The chapter after this will probably take some time to write since a couple of writing assignment I have to do during the coming weeks. I will at least try to have it out sometime in October or beginning of November.
Annonymus (01): That will be adressed in future chapters.
Annonymus (02): Who knows. Darknightmon is an awesome villain after all.
Specmon X3: Lilithmon dont really have that many intresting attacks according of what I saw on the digimon wiki so I just made something up.
Nova Ozuka: Thanks for the criticism. Getting feedback on how to improve ones writing skills are allways appreciated.
Omnisense95. Thanks for all your reviews of late.
I do not own Digimon
(Beelzemon)
Typical Lilithmon. The whole cave literally radiated with the demon lord of lusts horrible stench and looked it too.
After having supposedly outsmarted his former college, Beelzemon had decided to investigate the inside of the cavern. Who knew if there was something related to the demon lords in there. If there was, it had to be destroyed.
Ogremon started to protests at once when Beelzemon suggested he stayed outside on guard duty. Beelzemon however could see in Ogremon's eyes that he was very frightened and that he was trying to hide it by sounding tough. Ogremon had the right to be scared though. The cave was really giving him a bad vibe as well.
Also there was also the problem with Lilithmon still existing. Her data had not even started to deteriorate yet. Maybe it was just because of how much data she had absorbed throughout the years which made it take longer for her data to disappear. Either way, Beelzemon was sure she was dead. Having Ogremon out however on guard duty was just a safety precaution. It never hurt to be too careful.
After having walked for what seemed like an eternity through the long cave hallway, Beelzemon at last ended up in a large room and instantly he had to take a step back because of the stench.
"Oh god, I had almost forgotten of how that bitch used to decorate in our old lair" Beelzemon said trying desperately to ignore the bad smell.
The whole room looked like something out of one of those torture chambers from all those medieval movies he had watched with Ai and Mako (whenever their parents did not notice). There were torture devices everywhere.
Also there were a lot of mirrors hanging on the walls. Almost every inch was covered with some kind of mirror. It was no doubt that they were for Lilithmon to observe her beauty wherever she went. "Such an appearance freak" Beelzemon mumbled.
Just seeing all these torture devices around him made Beelzemon feel sick and disgusted to his very core. He remembered himself using some of these back in the day and which made things even worse was that a certain memory of him using one on a Leomon of all things flashed through his mind at that very moment.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD. I AM NOT THAT PERSON ANYMORE. STOP SHOWING ALL THOSE DEEDS…..I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS. DOUBLE IMPACT" Beelzemon screeched in pain and then without any warning, he took out his berenjenas and fired it at a pair of gallows behind him causing it to explode in flames.
He did not stop there however. At the moment, his head was not in the right place.
"DOUBLE IMPACT, DOUBLE IMPACT, DOUBLE IMPACT, DOUBLE IMPACT, DOUBLE IMPACT, DOUBLE IMPACT!…."
Having allowed his feeling to take perfect control of him, Beelzemon started to blast the whole place into pieces. The walls were starting to crumble as well as the roof above him. Flames started to form all around him trying to burn him. Beelzemon did not care about any of this. He only cared about deleting any part of his past life at any cost. He continued, and continued, and continued….until the whole place was completely wrecked. The roof however had not fallen down upon him, yet, to Beelzemon's fortune.
"Huf Huf…That ... should…huf ..take care….of that.. huf" Beelzemon coughed exhausted. He could not help but fall to his knees in order to recuperate some of his lost energy.
Unknown to Beelzemon however, something had watched his whole "episode" with great interest from afar.
Of all the mirrors in the room, some were still surprisingly intact and one of them was a small mirror with pure black glass covering it. Out of that mirror, 2 red eyes were watching Beelzemon intently.
"Well, well, if it isn't my old favorite demon lord. I welcome you Beelzemon, Demon Lord of Gluttony, to this place." The sound behind made Beelzemon both cringe and jump in shock. He knew that voice and it was sending horrible memories into his head again just like what had happened when he meet Daemon.
"I see you remember me old friend. How long has it been?" The voice sounded very amused by Beelzemons reaction towards it.
"Not long enough" Beelzemon replied. He turned around ready to fire his berenjenas but there was no one there.
"No need for such primal things Beelzemon. You are a guest here and far more competent than Lilithmon. I simply wish to welcome you." The voice laughed. This time Beelzemon noticed the mirror and the voice coming out of it as well as the eyes looking right at him.
"What the f..?" Beelzemon said raising an eyebrow.
"No need for such language. Let me just show myself to you to make things easier for us and for you to understand with that simple mind of yours."
Before Beelzemon could object to that insult, the eyes disappeared out of the mirror and it began to glow. Beelzemon at once backed away a few steps and got some distance between him and the mirror. He knew who would appear but he hoped he was wrong.
He wasn't.
In front of the mirror, an image was starting to appear. It was definitely male and by the looks of the wings on his back, it was definitely an angel-type digimon. However, it was still hard to see the rest of him as he looked kind of like a ghost with bad television reception as he once in a while disappeared before reappearing again in the same spot.
Beelzemon however could still see who it was.
"Demon Lord of Pride, I never thought I would get to see you again, isn't that right Lucemon."
Lucemon only gave Beelzemon an evil smirk in return.
(Ryo)
Ryo did not know how much more he could take. First he found that his among with other universes had fused together, then that Milleniumon might be coming back to haunt him once again, and now the one who had explained it all had turned into some kind of digimon. It wasn't the first time he had seen this happen since the warriors had the same ability and he himself and the other tames could as well when fusing with their digimon. But this was different. Why did Ryo not know? He just felt like this man was on a completely different level.
The devas were equally shocked. Their expressions were almost comical (even on the larger ones like Indramon and Vikaralamon).
"What….What the hell are you? Only the dam tamers and the legendary warriors have that power." Makuramon yelled trying desperately to comprehend what had just happenad.
"I am no normal digimon as you probably all have noticed now. I am a demon-lord type digimon but I assure you servants of the sovereigns, I mean you no harm". Bagramon replied politely offering a handshake towards Makuramon. The monkey deva however had other plans.
"DEMON LORD? DEVAS ATTACK" Makuramon screamed in fear as he ran and hid behind a tree.
"I assure you that while I am a demon-lord type, I am not to be confused with the ones from this universe." Bagramon laughed as if Makuramon's sudden outburst never had happened. Ryo just looked incredulously at him as if he was crazy. Cyberdramon did the same thing.
The devas however completely ignored Bagramon's answer and charged at him (all except 1 excluding Makuramon). Bagramon did not even flinch at the sight of them and remained in place.
"Howl of the Heavens"
The dog deva Catsuramon attacked first with his supersonic howl. With just a single movement of his hand, Bagramon redirected the attack back at Catsuramon who was sent flying backwards.
"There is no need for this nonsense. I mean you no harm." Bagramon addressed Catsuramon but he already were preparing another attack.
"Howl of the Heavens"
"Positron Pulse"
This time the chicken deva Sinduramon joined in with a blast of electricity. This time Bagramon did not even try to redirect the attacks. The attacks didn't even faze him at all anyway to the 2 devas shock.
"Now it's my turn demon scum. Horn of Desolation" Indramon growled as he removed the Bǎo Bèi from his back and pointed it in Bagramon's direction. He fired it but just like before it had no effect at Bagramon. "Uh Oh" the horse deva gulped.
Next in turn was the huge dragon deva Majiramon and enormous the pig deva Vikaralamon who both charged directly at their opponent in front of them ready to stampede him into the ground.
Bagramon had other ideas however. He easily caught both devas by the neck which surprised everyone because of the 2 devas sizes.
"I have not come to fight. I merely came to talk. But if you must insist…." Bagramon sighted before throwing the two in separate direction. They landed unfortunately on top of the tiger deva Mihiramon and snake deva Sandiramon respectively.
"HAHAHAHAHA" the mouse deva Kumbihiramon laughed hysterically at his fellow partner's misfortune. "Let me show you all how it is done"
"Deva Clones"
A whole army of fakes appeared behind Kumbihiramon ready to pound on Bagramon. Before they could attacks however, Bagramon hit his right deformed hand right into the ground causing the whole earth to shake. Before Kumbihiramon noticed what was happening, he had been pinned to the ground by a large tree which had been caused by Bagramon artificial earthquake. All the clones disappeared at once. Some of the devas could not help but laugh.
"Oh shut up. Stop with those mouse-trap jokes and get over here and help me" the mouse deva Kumbihiramon squealed.
"Insolent demon how dare you attack us? We are servants of the digital world." The sheep deva Pajiramon called out as he went to help Kumbihiramon.
"Actually, you asked me to answer a few questions and then you attacked me. That kind of a makes you a hypocrite, correct?. Wouldn't you agree Clockmon?" Bagramon chuckled. Clockmon nodded.
That little comment drove the sheep deva temper up in flames and forgetting Kumbihiramon completely. With loud growl, Pajiramon charged at Bagramon. "Hey you forgot about me" Kumbihiramon pouted. Luckily, a flat as a pancake Sandiramon came to help him instead.
"Thunder Stomp"
Pajiramon jumped high into the air and slammed Bagramon's stomach with its hooves generating a small quake. Bagramon was actually pushed back a little so the rest of the devas saw their chance to strike.
"Howl of the Heavens"
"Horn of Desolation"
"Flaming Arrowheads"
"Samurai Tiger Tail"
"Primal Orb"
"Thunder Stomp"
"Venom Axe"
"Positron Pulse"
"Fusion Ball"
All the attacks hit their target and Bagramon seemingly disappeared in a large explosion. Ryo would probably been enveloped in the explosion as well if it hadn't been for Cyberdramon (who had finally gotten out of his crystal prison) who picked up Ryo and flew up into the air.
"Yeah we got you demon. That will teach you not to pick a fight with us ever again." Makuramon said doing a little victory dance (even though he had mostly been hiding behind a tree for the entire battle).
"I do admit you are strong, but you are no legendary heroes." The sound of Bagramon's voice shut Makuramon up at once. Out of the smoke came a relatively unharmed Bagramon.
"DEVAS ATTACK HIM AGAIN AT ONCE!" Makuramon cried in terror as he went into hiding again.
"Boar Bog"
Vikaralamon regurgitated a large amount of black sticky goo from his mouth which soon covered Bagramon from top to toe. Seeing their foe trapped, all the devas charged at him from all sides except Makuramon who was shivering behind a tree like the coward he was. One deva though to Ryo's surprise had yet to engage Bagramon in battle from what he could see high up in the air in Cyberdramon's grip.
"The devas have no chance. I smell his power" Cyberdramon growled softly. To Ryo, it seemed as if the devas had the advantage at the moment but Cyberdramon was rarely wrong about these kind of things and he had already seen Bagramon's power in action.
"Astral Snatcher"
With a quick swift of his right hand, Bagramon broke free of the tar covering him and created a large shockwave around him which sent all devas flying in different directions. Even Makuramon got hit by it.
What happened next made Ryo's eyes open wide for the tenth time that day.
As the devas got up on their feed ready for the next round, they made a startling discovery.
"I am tired of this. You're even more annoying than the tamers. Horn of Desol….?" Indramon exclaimed but his voice was coming out of Kumbihiramon body instead of his own.
"Wow, I got big. I like this change." Kumbihiramon giggled triumphantly out of Indramon's body.
"GET OUT OF MY BODY RAT" Indramon roared in fury.
"Watch your tongue my little pony or I might try to squish you like you usually try to do to me." Kumbihiramon grinned. For them, the roles had changed.
The rest of the devas were noticing their little changes as well. Makuramon (in Catsuramon's) was complaining about walking on 2 legs while Catsuramon himself was complaining about the opposite for example.
"As I said, he is powerful." Cyberdramon grinned somewhat amused by the devas misfortune. Ryo completely agreed. What he had said before about Bagramon being very similar to Millenniummon seemed awfully correct at the moment.
"CHANGE US BACK THIS INSTANT YOU FOUL DEMON" Makuramon in Catsuramon's body commanded. "I DON'T WANT TO BE STUCK IN THIS SMELLY BODY ANYMORE". Makuramon was now practically crying like a little girl.
"Why did we chose him to be our leader of all people?" Sandiramon sweatdroped inside Mihiramon's body.
"Don't. He of all people especially deserves this punishment." The one deva who had yet to enter the battle addressed. It was the ox deva Vajramon.
"Interesting. Of all the devas, you did not try to engage me. Why?" Bagramon asked intrigued.
"Unlike my hasty companions here, I knew it was just a waste of time fighting you. I would be better off if I didn't involve myself and by the looks of it, I was right and they were wrong" Vajramon chuckled earning him a couple of glares from deva brethren.
"Indeed wise you are." Bagramon responded. With that, he started to shrink and change form until the old man was once again standing besides Clockmon. "I wouldn't know how to change them back anyway. I am just an old crazy man after all."
The horrified expressions on the devas faces told Bagramon everything he needed to know.
"Just kidding- HeHe. Your respective souls will eventually go back to their respective bodies since I did not damage them too much." The old man grinned. The devas sighed in relief. "So what did you want to ask me?"
"We all heard your little explanation to the tamer but there is one thing we want to know more than anything. Where are the sovereigns?" Vajramon asked. The other devas at once remembered why they were actually there and waited for the old man's answer.
"Wait a second. The sovereigns are gone?" Ryo exclaimed as Cyberdramon landed beside the old man. Granted none of the tamers or the other teams had been in the digital world for a while because of the current crisis in the human world but still for the sovereigns to be captured and the chance of the digital world to fall into peril once again in such short time was staggering.
"Silence tamer. While I might have more respect for your kind than my colleges (especially Renamon and her tamer in his mind) , I still don't have to like you. Answer the question now" Vajramon snorted at Ryo before addressing the old man again.
"I am afraid I don't know where the mighty rulers of one of this world digital realms are at the moment." The old man shook his head. For a second, Vajramon or the other devas did not know how to respond to these news.
"….But I might know the reason behind their disappearance." The old man continued and this caught the devas attention as well as Cyberdramon and Ryo.
"TELL US THIS INSTANT YOU….MPHPHPHPH" the voice of Makuramon yelled but Vajramon silenced him by putting his hand over his mouth. When Makuramon tried to resist by biting Vajramon with Catsuramon's fangs, he punched Catsuramon in the face knocking the monkey deva out.
"Please continue" Vajramon said.
"The thing the legendary heroes are fighting right now is a creature similar to the D-Reaper but I won't bother you with the details since I have already guessed you already know this" the old man responded. The devas nodded.
"When the merging occurred, a small piece of the D-Reaper which had survived the tamers assault lingered on in the empty space between the human and digital world. The merging caused this small fraction to multiply and mutate into a more advanced version." The old man explained.
"That explains why monkey brain over here felt its data signature during one of his visits to this world" Mihiramon realized.
"That's right. But it was trapped and inactive between dimensions because of it having no way to travel to either world. Something helped it however and that someone is probably the same one which is responsible for the sovereigns' disappearance."
"Such insolence. I will find this creature and kill it" Pajiramon growled.
"This creature will be hard to find. Even I don't know who or where it is. But I know someone who may know" the old man said.
"You do? May we know the name of this creature?" Vajramon asked politely (for a deva anyway)
"Its funny that you asked since I was going to take young Ryo here to meet him anyway" the old man chuckled. Ryo jumped at the mention of his name.
"This digimon may have the answer to your questions devas but he is also the right one to teach Cyberdramon on how stop the flow of Millenniummon's influence inside of him" the old man grinned.
"Are you sure this someone could help?" Ryo asked. If there really was someone like this, Ryo had to meet him.
"Yes I am but this digimon does not exist in this dimension." Right after the old man had said that, Clockmon opened a large dimensional portal but it did not appear behind him. It appeared directly under Ryo's feet.
Before Ryo could do anything, he along with the devas and Cyberdramon found themselves falling through the portal at fast speed. As the gateway above them closed, the old man still in their universe let out a maniacal laugh.
"He exists in mine."
(Beelzemon)
"Old friend what's the matter? Aren't you happy to see me after all these years? Lucemon smirked from where he was standing.
"Not really. I wasn't happy to see neither Daemon nor Lilithmon so no, I am not happy to see you at all" Beelzemon responded not letting his eyes of Lucemon for a second. If his old memories were correct, this demon lord was not to be trifled with. Still, something about Lucemon was feeling off.
"I shouldn't say I am surprised after finding out about your current life style" Lucemon replied with a yawn.
"So what are you going to do about it? Scold me just like Lilithmon and Daemon did." Beelzemon rolled his eyes.
"No I won't. I actually applaud you for doing what the rest of us could not" Lucemon shook his head apologetically. Beelzemon's eyes almost shoot out of their sockets.
"WHAT?" Beelzemon gasped.
"We are demon lords and by nature we destroy and seek power. You were like that once. I and Lilithmon still are. But you have changed. You have become quiet the hero I have heard. But you still seek power deep within don't you. Isn't that why you almost accepted Daemon's offer?" with every word spoken by Lucemon, Beelzemon got more and more uneasy.
"That might be true but how do you know this and how are you alive. I heard of Daemon that you should be in digi-limbo." Beelzemon said trying to change the subject.
"Since you received some of your old memories back from Daemon, You probably remember how powerful I am. My death was greatly exaggerated." Lucemon lectured Beelzemon as if he was a newborn baby. "At the moment, I am somewhere else. This mirror given to Lilithmon by me helps me keep an eye on her.
"Still if I remember you correctly, you always are planning new plans for word conquest. What is it you are scheming this time" Beelzemon frowned.
"Of course. Right now a certain program I released from the empty space between the borders of the two worlds is tearing up the human world. If I am not mistaken, your friends along with some others are fighting it as we speak." Lucemon explained and just to be douche, the mirror projecting Lucemon's image began showing Shinjuku being attacked from all sides. It soon zoomed in on a certain house that Beelzemon recognized too well being pulverized by a couple of Etemon's.
"STOP IT. TURN IT OF" Beelzemon demanded. Lucemon did no such thing. Instead, the image of Ai and Mako's house being pulverized replayed over and over.
"I SAID….TURN..IT…OFF!" Beelzemon roared. With all the strength he could build up, he lunged at Lucemon who in turn caught him his punch without any effort at all.
"Stop being such a baby Beelzemon. Your humans are not there at all. Lucky for you, they are still in what humans call school" Lucemon told Beelzemon face to face before releasing his grip.
"Why…did you show me that" Beelzemon said raging on the inside.
"I want to take over the world. You want to protect your partners. Join me now that Lilithmon is gone. You will get the power I know you seek but you will still have the people you love. What do you say old friend?" Lucemon said looking down at Beelzemon as he offered a helping hand.
Last time with Daemon, Beelzemon had almost accepted such a deal as this one. This time, he had no doubts about what he was going to choose. To Lucemon's surprise, Beelzemon started chuckling.
"I knew there was something fishy about you from the start" Beelzemon chuckled. Lucemon raised an eyebrow at this.
"What do you mean old friend?" Lucemon asked politely.
"I am not your "old friend" and you are not Lucemon" Beelzemon spit in Lucemon's face. He then kicked Lucemon's leg under him causing the demon lord of pride to lose balance for a second. That however was all Beelzemon needed to uppercut Lucemon in the face.
"Double Impact"
Before Lucemon could counterattack, he was being pulverized by a ferocious barrage of attacks released by Beelzemon's berenjenas.
"I knew something felt off about you from the beginning. We demon lords have a certain aura of death around us. I don't feel that aura around you. Lilithmon isn't the smartest of digimon but she was legit. You are not however. Whatever your true plan is, it is not world domination. It is something worse. Darkness Claw" Beelzemon said victoriously before he flung himself at Lucemon
"So you found me out huh. Impressive. Lilithmon never suspected a thing." The fake Lucemon growled. "Still…"
"Paradise Lost Punch"
In retaliation, the fake Lucemon released a wild dance of blows which caught Beelzemon in midair. Beelzemon remembered enough of his past life to know what would happen if fake Lucemon were allowed to continue to phase 2 of the attack.
Before Lucemon could send him flying high into the air, Beelzemon kicked him right in the face forcing Lucemon to stumble backwards. Beelzemon used this opportunity to get a good distance between the two.
"…that does not mean I can't hurt as bad that the real one would." the fake Lucemon finished with a sinister smile.
"Oh great. What else could go wrong?" Beelzemon sweatdropped. Just as he had said that, Ogremon came flying past him out of nowhere right into the wall unconscious.
"HOW DARE YOU DAMAGE MY BEUTY? MY PERFECT REFLECTION IS RUINED. I WILL RIP YOU TO SHREEDS" Lilithmon yelled as she appeared behind Beelzemon ready to strike. Beelzemon avoided the first hit by ducking but the second caught him in the stomach and the third in the head. The fourth hit Beelzemon avoided by sidestepping at the last moment sending Lilithmon right into one of her own torture machines. Beelzemon had not time to catch his breath though as Lucemon lunged at him next.
"Double Impact"
A barrages from the berenjenas forced Lucemon to stop his assault though. It however annoyed him than it hurt him.
As Lilithmon got up on her feet and Lucemon created orbs of light and dark in the palms of his hand, Beelzemon pointed his berenjenas on respective demon lord.
"Me and my big mouth." Beelzemon face palmed
(Zoe)
Aldamon's expression at the moment looked so funny that Zoe could not help but giggle a bit at her boyfriend's misfortune.
"ZOE. What…..How….Where have?" Aldamon stuttered like crazy trying to calm himself down.
"Same old Takuya. You have not changed a bit and I'm thankful for that." Zoe giggled softly. She had however noticed that the A-Reaper was now heading right for Aldamon from behind equipped with a pair of Lobomon's swords with Ravemon BM and Rosemon BM desperately chasing after him.
She wasn't that worried about Aldamon though. Takuya could take care of himself in a fight she knew but that wasn't why she wasn't very worried for his safety. It was due to two certain digimon that just had arrived behind her and Joe in the shadows remaining out of view.
"Omega The Fusion"
The sudden appearance of the Aura-shaped Omnimon caught everyone of guard (except for Zoe) as it slammed into the A-Reaper who narrowly managed to defend himself from serious harm by turning his body into Chrome Digizoid just like had done against one of Rosemon BM attacks before. But the A-Reaper had completely forgotten about the burst levels behind him who saw their chance to attack. Reforming her whip, Rosemon BM tried to ensnare it once again. Sensing her movements from behind however, the A-Reaper ducked it easily and would have retaliated if it hadn't been for…
"Spiral Shredder"
…..what looked like a blue energy wheel of death coming out from the shadows right into the A-Reapers stomach sending him flying to the other side of the cave.
"All right. Taste the awesomeness might of the wild kid of the digital world." The wheel laughed causing the people around to get even more confused.
"Uh new friend of yours Zoe?" Aldamon scratched his head in confusion.
"You could say that when he isn't bothering me like the pest he is. Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to Arresterdramon." Zoe replied.
The wheel then stopped spinning and the blue energy disappeared giving everyone present a good look at this so called "Arresterdramon"
By the looks of it, the new digimon was definitely a dragon type. It was however was wearing black leather pants and red chest armor. Its long tail was equipped some kind of sharp blade at the end. Aldamon and the rest looked at him with wonder. Zoe however just snorted. When they would get to know him, they would probably not feel that sense of wonder anymore.
Seeing everyone's awed expressions, Arresterdramon could not help but to show off a bit. Zoe just facepalmed and Joe…..well he was brutally "attacked" by his partner.
"Don't you dare leave again Joe. If you do something like that again, Il….." Gomamon screamed frantically in Joes face.
"Calm down Gomamon. I've never seen you this crazy before. It's good to see however that you care about me so." Joe replied a little taken back by his partners sudden behaviors but it was after all understandable.
"Well, I….Of course I was worried. But I knew you would be fine all along. I have after all taught you many things throughout the years."
"Like telling a lot of bad jokes"
Zoe just smiled at the twos reunion. After all, Zoe had known how much Joe had missed Gomamon as well. It was at this time that the second new figure decided to make his presence known.
"Heh Heh Don't be such a glory hog now Arresterdramon." It chuckled as he appeared right beside Arresterdramon.
"Says you of all people king" Arresterdramon muttered.
The new figure looked completely different from the first one even though this one was a dragon type as well. Instead of clothing, it was covered in golden armor which just radiated with power and justice. It was definitely a warrior to be reckoned with.
"My name is Omegashoutomon and you will all soon hear the scream of my soul." Omegashoutomon smiled where he stood beside Arresterdramon.
At the moment everyone was back and forth from Omegashoutomon and Arresterdramon to Zoe and Joe with a mix of wonder, confusion, and hesitation.
"Did something happen while you were..." Aldamon chose his next words carefully. "away?"
"It's a long story Takuya but we are in the middle of a battle now and I doubt that you would actually manage to stay awake for the whole thing." Zoe joked causing Aldamon to pout in annoyance. She really had missed driving her boyfriend nuts.
Takuya's question had however started a flow of memories to go through her mind. She remembered how she had ended up in a parallel universe, how she had meet Omegashoutomon, Arresterdramon, and their friends for the first time, battling a resurrected dark knight who was bent on destroying the human world, showing Joe around after his wounds had been healed, and more. Such good times.
"Searching….Searching….Searching.
No data found. New digimon cannot be scanned. New digital creatures cannot exist
Not Logical. Not Logical. Not Logical."
"Not that I want to ruin these warm reunions but the big ugly is back in the game again"
Yoshi's words instantly got everyone's mind back in the game. The A-Reaper was once again charging at them having grown to the same size as Megagargomon. Ravemon BM and Rosemon BM as well as Aldamon were preparing to fire there weapons but Zoe suddenly walked up in front of them.
"Don't" Zoe ordered.
"Get out of the way Zoe, if you haven't forgotten, that thing has our friends" Aldamon protested angrily. Ravemon agreed but as the two of them saw the look Zoe was giving them, they backed away slowly.
"Let my new friends handle it. I think it's due time you saw them all in action." Zoe said
"Are you up for some action Arresterdramon or are you just too chicken to try?" Omegashoutomon said.
"Fat chance king. I surpassed you once and I can do it again." Arresterdramon replied.
"Sure you will," Omegashoutomon rolled his eyes.
With that, the two were of heading for the gigantic A-reaper
"I can beat this will be interesting fight" Zoe said.
(Wada Koji - We Are Xros Heart)
MUSIC STARTS PLAYING
"Hard Rock Damashī"
Omegashoutomon flies up into the air and hits the gigantic A-Reaper in the face with a par of burning musical notes causing it to stagger back a little.
"Spiral Shredder"
Seeing the opportunity, Arresterdramon turned into an energy wheel of death once again and cut the A-Reapers legs off causing the giant to fall to the ground almost landing on him and Omegashoutomon.
"Well that was easy" Arresterdramon said. But then to his amazement two new legs grew out of the digital stumps left of the old ones.
"You just had to jinx it huh." Omegashoutomon facepalmed as he avoided swipe from Omnimon's Transcendent Sword as the A-Reaper got back up on its feet.
STAND UP, MY FRIEND. ITS UNSTOPPABLE, THIS BURNING SOUL
"Feel the power of my burning soul. Heavy Metal Vulcan"
"No one makes the wild child of the digital world look like a fool and gets away with it. Mach Flicker"
While Omegashoutomon released 2 streams of fire from his chest which hit the A-Reaper in the stomach, Arresterdramon followed up with a barrage high speed punches in its face. Neither did much damage though and they were forced to withdraw to a lower altitude to avoid a very accurate thunder fist headed their way.
NO BOUNDARIES CAN STOP US, YOURE NOT ALONE
Suddenly the roof above them exploded into pieces. Someone had pierced through the upper part of the A-reapers bubble and one thing was clear for everyone. Help had arrived.
"Trident Arm"
Before the A-Reaper could react, something fast flew down the large hole and smashed its claws so hard into the A-Reaper that he fell to the floor and shrank back to his original height. With a quick landing, the large mechanical digimon (Metalgreymon) landed on the ground and allowed all his human and digimon passengers before joining Omegashoutomon and Arresterdramon hovering in the air.
"Old man Greymon hasn't lost his touch I see" Omegashoutomon smiled at the sight of his old friend.
MY BOND WITH MY FRIENDS IS MY TRUMP CARD
"Omegashoutomon, show him the true meaning of Xros Heart!" Taiki Kudou called up to his partner. Omegashoutomon gave a thumbs up in response.
"I am so excited. I am in the legendary heroes' dimension. Don't let me down Arresterdramon" Tagiru Akashi ordered his partner.
"Metalgreymon. Be cautious. This opponent is powerful indeed." Kiriha Aonuma said calmly.
The rest of the children took out their strange digivices (X-Loaders) and activated them.
"Help out Taiki. DIGI-XROSS: DORULUMON-PAWNCHESSMONS" Akari Hinomoto called out.
"I am a kendo champion so don't think I am not a threat. I am Zenjirou Tsurugi. DIGI-XROSS: BALLISTAMON-REVOLVERMON" Zenjirou Tsurugi said confidently.
"You're up Damemon. SHU- SHINKA" Yuu Amano shouted.
"That thing is so un-cute. Opossummon SHU-SHINKA." Airu Suzaki shuddered.
"Get that thing Dobermon even though we won't get paid for this later". Hideaki Mashimo pouted.
ILL BURN UP THIS LIFE OF MINE AND R-O-A-R
"Xros Heart follow me" Omegashoutomon roared as he charged at the A-Reaper. Arresterdramon and Metalgreymon followed closely behind along with several newly evolved digimon. "Let's show this creep our power.
NOW LETS FUSE AS ONE INTO A GREAT XROSS
"XROSS UPP DORULUMON"
"XROSS UP BALLISTAMON"
"SHU- SHINKA TSUWAMON"
"SHU- SHINKA CHO-HAKKAIMON
"RELOAD DOBERMON"
GIVE ME EVERYONES EXPLODING SHOUTS
With such a large army surrounding him from all sides, The A-Reaper stuck his transcendent sword in the ground and at once legions of Etemon and Diaboromon appeared ready to fight for their master. Omegashoutomon and the rest however looked equally as determined as ever.
NOW LETS BE BORN WITH FANGS OF TOMORROW INTO A GREAT HEART
The two armies of digimon charged at each other with Omegashoutomon and the A-reaper leading the assaults.
"Termination and Deletion awaits" The A-Reaper screamed as his arm began to change shape to a combination of Omnimon's sword, Lobomon's light swords, and Imperildramon Paladin Mode's large golden broadsword all at once.
"The only one who is going to disappear here is you buddy." Omegashoutomon responded with a battle cry readying as his feet were slowly fusing into large golden drills.
TAKE FLIGHT AND FIGHT
"SUPERIOR SWORD OF THE GODS"
"BEAT SLASH"
The two combatants clashed in midair as the two armies of digimon clashed below.
WE ARE XROS HEART.
(Zoe)
"…Wow just wow" Aldamon managed to stuttered. The others behind nodded in agreement.
"Not that I want to ruin the moment here but shouldn't you three join the battle" Yoshi reminded.
Aldamon and the two burst was about to charge out into the battlefield when Zoe again stopped them from leaving.
"Leaving so soon. I am coming with you" Zoe said.
"NO you're not. I don't think either your human or beast spirit will make a difference." Aldamon replied sternly.
"Are you saying I am weak just because I am a girl Takuya Kanbara." Zoe said as she gave him the look.
"Uh that's not what I meant. It's just…..I mean…You're just…." Aldamon tried to come up with an excuse nervously.
"Relax. I know that you care for my safety but I am not defenseless Takuya. I have after all learned a new trick since the last time we saw each other." Zoe snickered. Aldamon just looked at her with a big question mark in his face.
"Let me show you what I mean. EXECUTE FUSION SPIRIT EVOLUTION"
FUSION EVOLUTION
Zoe fusion spirit evolve to Jetsilphymon
(Beelzemon)
"Ultimate Sacrifice"
Beelzemon barely managed to avoid one of Lucemon's most powerful attacks only to be grabbed by Lilithmon and thrown into the wall. Lilithmon then lunged at him but Beelzemon simply slided beneath her legs and counterattacked with a high kick to the stomach. Lilithmon was thrown of balance for a short amount of time and Beelzemon used the opportunity to knock her unconscious with a darkness claw attack.
"Who's next?" Beelzemon huffed in exhaustion as he focused his attention on the fake Lucemon.
"Such power. It really is a shame that I hired Lilithmon instead of you" Lucemon chuckled where he stood.
"Sorry but I am not interested. Double Impact" Beelzemon fired his berenjenas but the attacks didn't even faze Lucemon who just shrugged the attacks of him as if it had been nothing.
"You never even could take on the real Lucemon in the old days. You think you really can defeat me." Lucemon said as he disappeared from Beelzemon's view in an instant and appeared behind him.
"Paradise Lost Punch"
One single punch launched Beelzemon to other side of the cave. He ducked at the last moment however before Lucemon could continue his attack.
" .KILL YOU. NAZAR NAIL" Lilithmon had once again woken up and entered the fray. With all his attention focused on the fake Lucemon, Beelzemon didn't notice her before it was too late.
"ARRRRGGGHHH" Beelzemon exclaimed in pain as Lilithmon pierced right through him. Using the strength left in his arms, he pointed his berenjenas on the ground beneath him.
"Taste this. Double Impact" Beelzemon grimaced as his attack caused a small sandstorm to envelop the entire cave. As quick as he could in his weakened state, Beelzemon grabbed the unconscious Ogremon and ran as fast as he was worth out of the cave.
Beelzemon was exhausted to his very limit. He knew that if he stayed, he would surely be killed. His battle with Lilithmon had taken all his strength before. Lilithmon and Lucemon were definitely out of his league now.
As he finally got outside, Behemoth was already waiting for him hiding behind a rock. So was the fake Lucemon however as well.
"Already leaving old friend. You do know I cannot allow you to leave this place." Lucemon told him.
"Try to stop me then bub" Beelzemon shouted as he actually threw Ogremon's unconscious body towards the fake Lucemon. The lead demon lord easily sidestepped out of the way of Ogremon's flight course but this was just a distraction.
"Behemoth, Get that bastard"
The living vehicle at once followed his master's order. It drove straight into Lucemon from behind taking him a little by surprise. Beelzemon quickly picked Ogremon up again and hopped on Behemoth. Before Lucemon managed understand what just had happened, Beelzemon was just a silhouette far away in the horizon.
The others had to know about this. He had been gone to long from his friends and tamers because of his self-moping. But the time for being a whiner was over and the time for action was about to begin.
Beelzemon would return but not alone. He was going to come back with an army of tamers, legendary warriors, and digidestined.
"See you later phony. Don't forget to pee in your pants when I get back to whoop your ass. Give my greetings to Lilithmon too." Beelzemon waved back victoriously as he disappeared from Lucemon's sight.
Lucemon wasn't done yet however.
"Lilithmon isn't my only minion you know. It's time for me awaken my masterpiece" Lucemon smiled as he headed back into the cave. As he did, the whole desert they were in started to shake uncontrollably.
Something had awoken. Its master had called upon it and given it a mission.
To destroy Beelzemon the demon lord of gluttony.
(Ken)
"Wake up young one. It is time"
As Ken opened his eyes, for a minute he thought he back in that terrible dreamscape where Duskmon had almost killed him, and Koji. But it was even worse. He couldn't even move his body or even see it. The darkness prevented him from doing anything at all nor could he even see himself.
"Don't worry Ken. I am here with you" Ken literally jumped at the sound of the voice.
"Lowemon? But…."
"The situation calls for me to step in. We spirits don't contact our hosts unless it is fully necessary. We want to our hosts to learn on their own." Lowemon's voice replied.
"Where am I. The only thing I remember is falling down that hole in the ground." Ken said.
"Much has happened since then. Let me explain that and why you right now have the power to finally put your enemies down for good." Lowemon's voice explained. This put ken on edge.
"What do you mean?" Ken asked hesitantly
"Don't be afraid and don't hesitate. Show me that your worthy of Koichi's position. What I shall show you will not be easy"
Ken at once felt himself being forced into a spirit evolution but something felt different about it.
(Takuya)
"Solar Wind destroyer"
"Ultra Turbulence"
The combination of fire and wind created a large tornado of flaming fire which ravaged through the battlefield destroying loads of Diaboromon and Etemon in its path. The ones that survived were brutally killed by being drilled to pieces by the wolf digimon Dorulumon or assasinated from behind by Tsuwamon.
"We always did make a good team Zoe" Aldamon high-fived Jetsilphymon.
"Trying to get back on my good side now are you now?" Jetsilphymon flirted as she leaned closer to him.
"Uh It's n….." Jetsilphymon put her finger on Aldamon's lip before he could continue. What happened next Aldamon didn't mind at all.
"Don't talk. Just embrace it" Jetsilphymon whispered into his ear before reeling him for a long and overdue make-out session. Aldamon eyes almost went out of their sockets at first before he embraced it. He really had missed this. He really had missed her.
"Oh man. Why am I the only one who has not kissed a girl yet?" Aldamon caught someone (Zenjirou) saying around him but he completely let that comment slip his mind as his and Jetsilphymon tongues went in for round 2.
(Omegashoutomon)
As the two legendary warriors, burst digimon, and the newly evolved Zudomon joined the fray, the battle between the A-Reaper and OmegaShoutomon continued in the skies above.
"Omega The Fusion"
Omegashoutomon sent yet another Omnimon-looking aura towards the A-Reaper who easily destroyed it with a single punch before opening his mouth and releasing Metalgarurumon's Icy Breath Omegashoutomon's way.
"No you don't" Omegashoutomon growled as he ducked the stream of cold breath traveling towards him. But the A-Reaper didn't stop there as he released yet another round of MetalGarurumons Icy breath. OmegaShoutomon plowed right through the attack with his beat slash and pierced straight through the A-Reapers chest.
"You're not so tough after all" OmegaShoutomon chuckled but the A-Reaper just turned around and high kicked him in the face completely ignoring the huge hole in his stomach.
"Spoke too soon I did" Omegashoutomon frowned as he was forced to dodge several of the A-Reapers next attacks which were combinations of Garudamon's, Digmon's, Guardromon's, and Gigasmon's most powerful attacks.
"Tectonic slam"
The attack missed its target but Omegashoutomon still got sent flying by the sheer power of the attack. This enemy was strong. Just regular super evolution was not going to cut it this time.
"Hey Taiki, a power boost would help about now"
"Sure thing Omegashoutomon" Taiki replied back from the ground before turning around to face Kiriha "Ready Kiriha?"
Kiriha just snorted in response as he called out to his partner who was currently slicing a group of Etemon to pieces. "Metalgreymon SHU- SHINKA"
SUPER EVOLUTION
SHU- SHINKA Zeekgreymon
The newly evolved golden dragon roared as he plowed through an army of Diaboromon and joined Omegashoutmon in the air.
DOUBLE X
Omegashoutmon / Zeekgreymon DOUBLE X
Shoutomon DX
"Get him Shoutmon DX" both Taiki and Kiriha called out and Shoutmon DX was happy to oblige.
"This is for all digimon as well as humans which you have hurt. Trident JusFang." Shoutmon DX roared as his huge blades on his right arm bisected the A-Reaper in half.
"Illogical Illogical Illogical Illogical Illogical Illogical Illogical Illogical Illogical Illogical Illogical Illogical…."it screeched in pain as its two halves reconnected with each other. "
In desperation, The A-Reaper turned around to make his escape but was meet with a horrifying sight. Shoutmon DX was standing right in front of him grinning with Rosemon BM and Ravemon BM on his right side and Aldamon and Jetsilphymon standing on his left. Below lay all the Etemon, Icecevimon, and Diaboromon clones massacred on the floor with every digi-xrossed digimon looking up at it him along with a very angry Zudomon looking for some payback.
"Not that I want to brag or anything but you are seriously going to get your butt whooped in a couple of seconds." Omegashoutomon grinned as he and every other digimon in the room charged the A- Reaper.
If it had being able to feel any emotion at the moment, it would have been very terrified.
"Illogical Illogical Illogical Illo….SELF DESTRUCT ACTIVATED: 5… 4… 3… 2… 1… 0"
Before anyone could realize what was happening, the A-Reaper exploded into bits sending everyone off their feet digimon and human alike.
As Shoutmon DX regained his balance in the air, he at once noticed something. With the A-Reaper beaten, the room was now filled with unconscious humans and digimon partners having been released from the A-Reapers body. One was standing out however. A boy with dark blue hair (Ken) was standing in the middle dark flames covering his body before falling to the ground exhausted.
"We won?. That was anti-climatic" Shoutmon DX frowned. Somehow it didn't feel like that.
(Patamon)
The battle was over. Every single enemy had either been vanquished or disappeared into thin air for some strange reason (not knowing that all the phony digimon exploded due to the A-Reaper self-destruction.
At the moment, Patamon felt the exactly the same feeling that TK had when he saw Devimon kill him as Angemon.
He felt the same way as Jeri when she saw Beelzemon kill Leomon right in front of her eyes.
He felt the same way as Marcus when his actions had led to Shinegreymon going out of control and almost dying.
People soon arrived at the scene but Patamon did not notice him. Neither did they either but Biyomon, Kudamon, and a couple of Pawncheesmon found him soon enough lying on the ground crying beside a dusty white hat stained with blood in front of a very massive piece of destruction..
(Lilithmon)
"What a horrible day this has been. MY DRESS IS RUINED" Lilithmon began to cry. Lucemon completely ignored her outburst as he reentered the lair.
"Actually other than Beelzemon meddling, everything is going exactly as planned" Lucemon said as he looked up on one of the remaining mirrors showing a replay of the entire battle between the chosen ones and the A-reaper.
"Your little pet got itself killed. How is that helping us?" Lilithmon responded angrily.
Lucemon just chuckled at Lilithmon's small understanding. "It was never my plan to let it roam free in the human world. It was to delete it at the right moment"
"Wait WHHHAAATTT?" Lilithmon exclaimed. "But you released it from where it was trapped between dimensions and sent it to the human world. That must have taken you a lot of energy to do even with your powers dear. But if you wanted to kill it from the beginning…..WHY DID YOU NOT DO THAT INSTEAD? THAT'S JUST….
SMASH
Lucemon had have enough. He simply walked up and slapped Lilithmon across the face. She dumbfounded looked up at him.
"And you wonder dear Lilithmon why I don't tell you my plans beforehand. Your stupidity sometimes amazes me."
Lilithmon looked like she was going to strangle him but he continued anyway.
"As you know, the form in front of me is not my own. I am really somewhere else at the moment. I found the data of a certain digimon in my travels. That data I infected into that puny program I sent to the human world" Lucemon explained.
"So what you put the data of a powerful digimon into your pet to make it more powerful, Big deal Lucemon." Lilithmon pointed out.
"Actually my dear, it is complete opposite. The "A-reaper" is supplying power to the data. I modified that data very thoroughly to something I could use. The human world is perfect for its applications but for the data to free itself from the A-Reapers core once it has taken as much power as it can take from its host, the only way to free it would be destroying the program holding it" Lucemon said.
Something clicked in Lilithmon's head as she finally understood. "I see. In order for us to remain in the shadows, you let the digidestined destroy it for you."
"That's correct. The digidestined did all the work for us. Once that corrupted data activates and takes form in the human world, phase 2 of my plan can finally begin. Soon my dear, both worlds will be ours for the taking. Digimon and Humans will be no more. I will reshape this world to my liking" Lucemon laughed with a glimpse of craziness in his voice. Lilithmon soon followed his example.
Soon enough, Lucemon's shape began to fade and disappear altogether into the mirror which he had come from but not before saying some parting words silently to himself that Lilithmon could not hear.
"You will join them soon Lilithmon when you have outlived your use to me"
(Unknown)
Somewhere else entirely on the other side of the mirror, Lucemon appeared in a completely white room. It wasn't located anywhere in the digital world or in the human world. It was located on a separate digital plane. The room was actually a antivirus designed to keep its inhabitant trapped and neutralized. Around were large amounts of fire walls to keep anything from reaching or freeing a certain virus.
"This won't be able to keep me imprisoned for much longer now. I can already create an avatar which I can use to escape even though I have to return or the part of me that's connected to my prison will delete me." Lucemon said as his whole body began to transform into a cloud of black smoke.
"Soon I will be free. Digimon and Humans alike shall fear me. They are illogical so I will destroy them and then rebuild them without flaws. I shall have the power I have sought for so many years only for those brats to trap me here. I will have my revenge and both worlds in my grasp." The smoke laughed.
An enemy much more powerful than anything the digidestined, tamers, legendary warriors, the DATS team, and the hunters ever faced before is coming. When he does, will they be able to stop it from carrying out its plan or will they fall by his hand?
"I shall have my ultimate prize"
Uh Oh. One enemie is defeated while another lurks in the shadows. Fortunately, our heroes have gained a few allies. Watch the next episode of Digimon: Digital Monsters to find out.
That is another chapter wrapped up
Okay Okay before anyone tries to grill me to crisp for leaving so many cliffhangers, I have a few things to say:
- TK IS NOT DEAD. I REPEAT. HE IS NOT DEAD. So everyone who was about the flame me because of that, don't, TK will be out of the action though and when he wakes up, he will definitely be punished by Tai and Davis for him slapping Kari in the face.
- In the original draft of the text, it was actually Beelzemon who were going to get the almost-killed treatment but I changed it to being TK since otherwise I would probably been viciously attacked by all the fans of the character (and me getting a little idea for a future chapter which required TK to be hurt badly.
Now with that being said, the beginning of the next arc might be a long time away (because of dumb school-work) so I thought I would give you all a couple of spoilers to keep you exited for what I have planned for the next arc.
1. Willis (from Digimon Hurricane Touchdown / Supreme Evolution! The Golden Digimentals) will appear as a guest character in a couple of chapters along with his partners: Terriermon and Lopmon (who may or may not be reincarnation of Cherubimon from Digimon Frontier).
2. Takato will have a mayor role to play. If you the whole ChaosGalantmon crisis was bad, just wait for what I have planned for him next (evil laugh ensues).
3. A Match To End All fights: Omimon VS Omnimon VS Omnimon VS Marcus?
4. One chapter in particular will introduce a couple of "Characters" entering the digiverse as either allies in the battles to come or enemies ready to pounce them into oblivion. I would expect 2 of them to take the second option though.
5. Expect some mayor Dakari moments in the future. I don't hate TK or anything like that but with him out for a while, expect Davis to take full advantage of the situation.
6. Ryos and Cyberdramons journey into the xros wars universe/ Beelzemon and Ogremons escaping completely unaware of a certain creature trailing them will not have mayor role in the arc. However, each chapter will at least have one section focusing on either on these scenarios. You are all free to guess who will be the one to teach Ryo and Cyberdramon on how to control Mileniumons power but I doubt that anyone will get it right.
7. Out of all the xros wars characters, the ones who will get focused more on will be Nene (if you wonder where she was during the chapter, she was staying guard outside if the A-Reaper somehow managed to escape), Taiki, Shoutomon (my favorite character from xros wars period), the old clock-shop maker (Bagramon), as well one who has not been introduced in this story yet. The rest of the generals and hunters again will appear but these 5 will be the most featured. Anyone wanna guess who the 5th one is.
That all for this time. The undead writer signs of for now.
