Takes of the Cosmic Wars

Chapter 89: True Radiance of Friendship! The Hero's Rebound!

Last time in Tales of the Cosmic Wars time was running out for the Enji. With Kira issuing Order 66 to have all of them wiped out on sight the warriors of light knew they had to act fast for there order to survive. Luckily not everyone was willing to obey without question. X, Zero and Axl knew something was up and came to Hallows Bastion to see what was up. The Enji then knew that Ben had to be saved from his cruel fate and planed a course of action to rescue him! They then made a strike team and split in to four groups, and thanks to the help of the three maverick hunters and Samus they were able to get through the security of the Titans.

Once in Neo Arcadia they found that Kira had ordered the city in to lock down. While this means there are no innocent citizens that could get in the line of fire, it also means Kira and his followers like the mad commander Paptimus Scirocco can throw everything he has to blast the Enji Knights in to dust! However, Lacus, Cloud, and everyone else knew that to much was on the line and did not let anything stop them.

Even with five massive and deadly Destroy Gundam's and the even more powerful Pysco Gundam Mark II being very powerful roadblocks the Enji would not let any thing stop them and even managed to destroy them!

All that stood in are heroes way from rescuing there manipulated and confused friend was the capital building it self, which had transformed in to its mobile defense form of Outer Heaven! It seemed that the ultimate fortress of the ruler of the Lylat Kingdom was built to have a lasting impression as no matter what the Enji threw they could not get past its powerful defense barrier!

However they then got two breaks at once! First the Star Fox team and a good chuck of the Lylat fleet arrived, to announce that the majority of the Lylat military have there doubts about Kira's ascending to king!

It seems Kira's plans are beginning to seem not as absolute as he thinks they are! With that those loyal to the Enji Knights engaged the Titans to lighten there load, and then are hero's second lucky break in a row accrued when a new figure appeared, to use his power to create a opening in to the castle, and it was none other then the mysterious Diz once more acting from the shadows !

Now that Ben's friends they have to act fast, Revolver Ocelot and his men are just about ready to execute Ben with the powerful Soukyoku system! Can they save him in time? Its time to find out so lets get started!


Today's chapter beings in the atmosphere of Corneria for ever since Kira ordered the planet to be put in to high alert the planet has been guarded from every angle. However now that the Lylat forces under the command of Fox and the other Admirals its turning the Titans forces under extreme disarray!

With the supreme kings orders to kill all hostiles on sight only his most devoted followers are not having any second thoughts. Either that or they just are going along for the kills, and are view goes to a pair of such pilots, the warped pilot of the Calamity Gundam , Orga Sabnak!

And along side him is the equality deranged pilot of the Raider Gundam Clotho Buer!

The duo are gleefully tearing through any one that gets in there way, and at the moment the Raider Gundam has just smashed a Gundam charging at him with his, " Mjolnir Hammer and laughs in side his machine while gleefully saying," Ah, look at them all blow up! They are all so lame! No wonder you're rebelling against the Titans! You all are too weak to play along with the big boys!"

His partner blasts a group charging at him with his two Schlag" 125mm High-energy long range beam shoulder cannons and says,"Anit that the truth! You know, when that Kira let us out of jail for free on the condition that we do what ever he said I thought he was going to be a real pain. But so far even if he is a stiff at least he knows how to get things done!"

The Raider Gundam then fires of more weapons and its pilot says," Hahah! I don't really care what the point of it all is! As long as I get to keep on fighting it works for me! Now come on losers, come to papa! Hey, looks like a new guy is joining the fight!"

He and Calamity turn around and see a ship heading in the direction of the planet, and its moving at top speed! The Raider Gundam 's pilot then says,"

Well, looks like someone's in a hurry! But who ever you are you should know that there is a toll to get in to the planet now in days, and it's your life!

"The pilot of the ship then makes a transmission and says,"

Get lost you annoying Titan dogs, I am in no mood to waste time playing around."

This gets both Titan members upset and Orga mutters a sarky,"Well, someone seems to not have a grip with reality Clotho! Punk! Ill teach you to think you can talk to us like that with your little ship! "He then fires a powerful cannon blast from his machines mouth and at the same time the Calamity assets fire while saying,"

Just who the hell do you think you are? Do you know who you are dealing with! Huh, what is it doing!? "

The duo are shocked to see the ship easily out maneuver the attacks, and then transform! Their shock turns to horror as it transforms in to a Gundam, the Tri Edge Gundam!

Yes, the mobile suit of Max has its two powerful unique swords glow before saying," I think the question is who the hell do you two tools think you are dealing with! Bah, it's useless; you're going to be dead before you realize it!"

Orga, remembering Kira putting Max mentioning as a high priority target and laughs before saying,"Is that so? Nice try but your Max Bruder, the traitor that became Janus the bounty hunter and someone who has been annoying are boss for a while! Prefect, this will be a chance to get a promotion! You may be hot stuff but you met your match "Terror of Death"! DIE!"

He then charges at Max's machine with his hammer, but Max in a flash charges at him while saying,"You, a match for me? In your dreams! I told you, I am here to have a few words with Kira, and your all ready annoying me! "

Max then easily blocks the incoming hammer blow with his blades, and then kicks the hammer out of his opponent's hand! He then says," Bah, what makes you so faithful to a rat like Kira anyway ?"

His responds is," I don't know, but I don't need one! I just get to fight the most this way!"

Max reacts to this with a sneer before he retorts with a ruthless," Is that so? Well, now that I heard your life story there is nothing I have left from you! Good buy! "

He then kicks the suit back and shows no mercy before in one swift blow slashing the machine in half!

As it explodes the Calamity moves back a bit and says," Orga! You're going to be rip to shreds! You really think you can oppose Kira and live? You're crazy!

"He then fires everything he has at the Tri-Edge Gundam, and it seems to cause the stolen Gundam to explode!

Clotho then laughs and says," Ha! That done him in! Huh, no way!I am way to strong to lose to this guy!"

He then sees that all he destroyed was an after image created by the other Gundam! His sensors then alert him too late that the Tri-Edge is right above him and Max says,"Your one to talk you insane eyesore! Some rapid dog like you is just a roadblock, and as they say those that bark the loudest are the weakest so get lost!"

He then fires a powerful energy blast from his machines hand to blow a hole in the Calamity's chest! He then cleaves the mobile suit horizontally in half and at once continues his path to the planet in front of him and says,"

Well, looks like are new Supreme King really has taken his job seriously. Heh, I have to give credit to that Diz. As much of an oddball as he is he sure knows how to plan things through. Kira, I should have known this was what you wanted form the beginning. What a drag, if I knew this back then, I would have saved time and just killed you back then when I had the chance. Oh well, time to make up for lost time!

Ben, I am sorry you got dragged in to are little feud. I just hope you have people that are more dependable then me watching out for you. Heh, and now, time to get my long awaited pay, and my revenge! Divert all power to weapons, and fire the Tri Cannon!"

With that Max orders his Droid to channel all his Gundam's power to unleash an attack powerful enough to break through the barrier surrounding Corneria and begins to enter the capital planet him self!


Meanwhile as Ben's cousin prepares to make his presence know are hero is being set up to be executed by the Soukyoku device! Revolver Ocelot and Cherubimon have been having there men make sure Ben is correctly set up to the machine.

At the moment the dark mega Digimon has just went through final preparations, and has unleashed the seal on the mystical killing machine! As the energy bounds break free they land with a thud and Ocelot looks at his Titan comrade and says," Enough delays Cherubimon, we don't have all day! "

The odd but powerful creature glares at the man beneath him and responds with a bellowing," Your hostile behavior is most annoying. But I will forgive that for its ready at last. Well, this will be quite the spectacle. The Soukyoku is so rarely used, but it's such a marvelous death. And with its target being this insane broken Knight its performance will be even more of a sight to see!"

As the being licks his lips in glee Ocelot just looks at him before giving of a chuckle and looks at the restrained Ben while saying," Hear that kid? You're going to give of one last show before your put out of your misery! So, any last requests hero?"

Ben just looks at the mustached man as he twirls his revolver with his replacement metal arm and with a broken look just says," Just make it quick. I am tired of everyone just pushing me around; I just don't want to cause any more suffering."

Ocelot just presses a button to have the restraints on Ben shock him! He then ushers a condescending,"You just can't learn huh? Your annoying behavior is why you're so messed up that you got in this mess! And it's because you're so annoying that were the only audience you're going to get when you die! Ah, hold on. There is one more thing; his majesty wants to give one last speech to you."

He then presses a button and the hologram image of Kira on his throne appears in front of Ben! No one told Ben about the recent events Ben is confused about Kira wearing a new regal outfit and says," Kira? Why did Ocelot call you his majesty? What happened to King Atem?"

Kira just emits a devilish smirk as his responds is a icy," There is no need for you to be concerned. After all, soon all of the events in this dimension shawl become useless to you."

Ben then gets mad and says,"Enough of this! What is going on? I, I don't understand anything any more! Has something happened? Tell me!"

Kira just looks bored and lashes out with a harsh,"Silence! Of course you can't understand. You have made it quite clear to me that your feeble mind is unable to grasp the truth of the situation to anything! You brought this on your self Ben Auro.

Although you were supposed to be the chosen one it seems that that the prophecy was inaccurate. I tried my best to groom you as my apprentice so you could fulfill destiny properly, but your heart was too frail. No matter what you will never be strong enough to become immune to pain and to be above such trivial emotions and wants. And it's because of this that you snapped and became Darth Idious.

Such a threat to the stability of the cosmos must, and will be eradicated! "

With that Ben sees from the ground beneath him come four blocks, and theses blocks raise Ben's arms before lifting up in the air!

The central pillar then rises as a spear comes out of it, and begins to emit large amounts of magic energy! The energy then beings to take form, and its only now that Ben sees his Star Sword, also warped in chains and sealed in a barrier be lowered besides him.

Kira then laughs and says," And this is were are paths end my failed apprentice. The Soukyouku will wipe all trace of your existence, along with the Star Sword. Yes, I will take its power and add it to my own to further my quest to unite this cosmos!

Time for your execution to commence Ben Auro. Make sure nothing stops this!"

With that Kira's image fades just as the massive amount of energy begins to change shape. Ben sees this and says," So, this is what my whole life's dream added up to? I admit it's far from the result I was aiming for.

Still, maybe it was all nothing but a dream. The dream of becoming the greatest hero in the cosmos, of being the greatest Enji Knight of all, I can't even remember when I did not dream of that. I worked so hard, for so long. And I beat so many insane bad guys, only to become one of them?

I guess, it's like Kira said. I should have been stronger, but it hurt so much. I just did not want to be rejected again.

But, I guess now everyone hates me now. Lacus, Cloud Sensei, Master Myers, Doug, James, and everyone else I let down. At least I won't let them down any longer. "

He then sees Ocelot get a transmission, which gets the gunslinger alarmed as he turns around and says,"What!? They are all ready inside? Impossible! Bah, do what ever it takes to keep them out of here! Huh?"

He then looks at Ben wondering what's going on and he hastily says" Don't get your hopes up. Er, that was just about some malfunction drones trying to mess up the lights. Rest assured your dying now!"

Ben just looks down and says," Sigh, no need to worry. I gave up having any hope for a while now. Still, it was almost like I could feel, no it must be a trick.

"Ocelot and Cherubimon look at each other nervously as they watch the fancy execution device charge up.


As more of there solders surround the area Ben's friends are at the moment fighting through the castles defense forces. After Squad 7, Lacus and Samus were able to make it in side Outer Heaven they at once found them selves under fire from many more followers of Kira!

At once they found then self's having to fight through many more types of Salvation Storm troopers, more robotic forces like the Gecko assault drones, and even Kira 's own division of faithful Titan Enji acolytes !

However, no matter what stands before them are hero's are in no mood to fail today and deal with everything in there path! When they have a moment to breathe calmly they find that they are in the castles historian room!

Doug takes a look and crassly says," Whew, this place sure is one fancy castle! Well I guess it better be since the ruler of the Lylat Kingdom is supposed to live here."

James then looks around and is amazed at all the artifacts he sees and says,"

That, is, is that the statue of the ruler of the first king of Corneria? That must be millions of years old! It's so amazing that they have all this stuff here; there is more valuable objects and documents then in the grand arcadia history museum! It's a good thing none of the troops were in here. If just one of the things here got damaged it would be a travesty! "

Everyone else just sighs and Cloud flatly says," Yes, and that's all the more reason we should not remain in here for long. After all, we are not here to brush up on are history. "

Lacus then walks forward and grasps the Oath-keeper tightly before she adds a firm,"Yes, we are here to save Ben and stop Kira. Sigh, if we could just sense his magic energy it would make things easier. But, I can't seem to even feel all of your power levels when you are right in front of me!"

Cloud then says,"It's just another thing to stop intruders. Be careful, we don't know if Kira has his men lying in wait for us. I was able to see this place two years ago, and while things are likely moved around a bit while the castle is in this form, I remember the place where they were supposed to have public executions is in the next section. Hey Samus, care to see if you can scan the places security systems to see what is ahead?"

Samus looks for a terminal to scan and says," I suppose it would be wise to have a sneak peak on what's ahead. Huh? Well, looks like they might be anxious!

"Everyone hears foot steps and gets battle ready. However, when the door in front of them slides open they see not more faceless foes, but none other then X, Squall, and many of there fellow Enji! Everyone at once stops and Squall says," Ah, glad to see your group made it in to Cloud."

Cloud nods and says,"It looks like Kira is not as convincing as he thinks he is. We were not sure who got us in here, but whoever it was it was someone powerful enough to open a hole in the barrier."

X raises a eye brow and then says," Ah so it's the same for you guys eh? While I don't approve of are mysterious alleys desire to hide right now we have more pressing matters. "

Hiryuumon then gets worked up and says,"That's right, before anything we have to make sure the boss is saved before its to late or I will never be able to forgive my self!"

Squall then says," Don't worry; none of us are going to let Kira kill Ben to cover his own tracks. Are group already swept through, and dealt with most of the western part of the Castle, and no sighs of him were there."

Lacus then quickly looks around before she adds a anxious," Hang on, the news said that Kira is going to execute Ben by the mystical Sokyouku right? That machine is one of a kind, and it must be in the castle! Oh, if only I could remember where father said it was in the castle!

X then says,"Don't worry Lacus, I think I have a good idea where it is. The Sokyouku was only used twice, and it was used on that senator that supported that Garland guy who the Grand Master fought against before he founded the Enji Knights with the others.

And I think the second one was for the Lylat general who was secretly working for the scientist Andross plans to take over Corneria and leaking information to him. It should be a few floors up and several hall ways down."

Cloud then says," Better then just searching the entire castle. All right, lets mossy."

They all nod, when all of a sudden they hear a large foot step that shakes the ground! Everyone then hears more foot steps, dozens of them and Doug then grunts out a frustrated,"Damn it, how many guards are in this place! Bah, doesn't matter because we will wipe the floor with all of them!

James then readies his energy bow and says," Still, it sounds like they are not fooling around any more, it sounds like they are about to surround us!

Squall then throws in a confident," Don't worry, we will hold them of. If we can divert there attention they will focus there attacks on us. Master Zoda Zero and his group are fighting of Kira 's men on the southern end. Just leave things to us!"

Lacus then smiles and says,"Thank you everyone! Be careful!"

X then charges up his buster as he sees the enemies coming around the hall way and he says," Thank us later, get going! "

He then fires of a shot as Squall, Cless and Zidane all charge at the incoming forces! Squad 7 and its two extra members exit to the north, and slash in half a few very large cyber attack dogs chasing after them while the others divert the majority of the attackers!


As they dash through room after room they notice that they hear a large thunderous noise in the distance, and know that they are getting closer to there destination!

Their destination! As they fight their way up another floor they begin to see a light coming from the distance, and Lacus says," That light, that must be it! Hang on Ben, I won't let that light hit you, I promise!"

They then hurry to the light. Meanwhile, back at the source of the light it seems that the Soukyoku has finally fully charged! Ben at last sees the energy poured out of the lance taking form in to a red glowing Phoenix!

Ben then chuckles bitterly as he mutters a dry,"So, is this what it's like to stare your death in the face? It's not the first time, but this time I guess it's really the end."

The Phoenix then charges at Ben, ready to burst right through him and he closes his eyes as if he is expecting his death! He then says," Well, looks like this is the end of the tale of Ben Auro. So much for a finally that people will remember. Oh well, at least they will, huh? Hey, what the? Is this real? No, it can't be!"

Ben can feel the heat of the Soukyoku right at him when all of a sudden he feels a large shock wave! He then opens his eyes, and sees that the raging energy was stopped in its tracks by a powerful force filed! Ben can hardly believe his eyes as he sees none other than Lacus floating in the air in front of him! He then says,"Lacus? Is, that really you? "

Although struggling to keep up her barrier she turns her head around and smiles kindly before playfully responding with,"Hey Ben, how are you doing? I thought you might want to be in a better situation."

Ben looks at the elegant women with bewilderment and blinks a few times to insure he is not dreaming before he responds with,"Lacus? What are you doing here?"

Lacus then says," Isn't it obvious? Rescuing you of course."

Ocelot is furious at the sight before him and says," How the hell did Lacus Raystar get in here? Blast her!

Ben is at a lost for words till at last he stutters out," Lacus, you really came to save me all by yourself?"

Lacus winks before she then firmly says," Oh don't be silly, we all came!"

Cherubimon's face turns in to a nasty glare and he cuts it with a vicious,"You dare interfere with the process? You shawl die along with him for your insolence!

"Ocelot then aims his plasma revolver at the girl and fires a few blasts at her, only for Cloud to flash step in front of her and defect the shots with his large sword! He then says," Sorry I am late; I guess I am more popular than I thought.

"Ben widens his eyes with even more shock before he blurts out," Cloud Sensei! You came to? What the? "

He then hears a loud noise and sees several solders go flying! Doug then walks out of the hole in the wall and grins a half lopped smile while saying," Of course we came buddy. No way we were letting Kira get away with trying to ice one of our own!"

More guards and even some armored Knightmon digimon charge at him, only to all get blasted by James and Hiryuumon! The duo then walks up to Doug Hiryuumon then looks happily at Ben while saying,"That's right! No matter how hard Kira will try to stop us we weren't going to let him stop us from freeing you boss!"

Ben can hardly believe his eyes and says," You all, really came to rescue me? But, I tried to kill you all, or at least Darth Idious did."

James just sighs and says," I admit you did cause quite a headache for all of us. But it's not like we just so casually throw one of our own away.

" Doug then smiles and adds a enthusiastic," Besides, it's not like you really wanted to kill us right? Sure, we all have are anger issues. But, it's not like that's all you felt right? "

Ben then looks down and says," No, of course not. I never wanted to harm anyone. Still, I , huh?"

He is startled to see Lacus put her hand on his check and smile even as she continues to press back the Soukyouku and says," It's all right Ben, you don't have to blame yourself. We all have are darkness, but it's by helping each other that we suppress it. If anyone who had darkness in there heart was judged to be to sinful to live, I doubt many of us would be left alive after long. Kira took advantage of you, he insured that the dark feelings in your heart grew out of control because of outside factors. Trust me Ben, I know what its like when another force is controlling you and your helpless to do anything about it. I am so sorry that we were not there for you in your time of despair. But, now we are here to set things right."

Cloud then looks at the spear that channels the power of the energy phoenix and in a instant slashes it in two! He then looks at Ben and says," Sure, you did do some pretty nasty things even if you were controlled by the darkness. And, while it's the duty of the Enji Knights to uphold the law, it's also the duty of the Enji to protect each other. After all, while those that break the law are scum, those that abandoned their friends to die are worse than scum."

Ben then for the first time in a while feels happy and holds back tears while saying," So, after all of this, you guys still are my friends? Everyone, I am sorry. I nearly gave up on trusting anyone. But I see now, I really do have true friends."

Ocelot then snickers before he rasps out a " How touching, its so sweat it makes me want to shoot the hell out of all of you idiots. Cloud, all of you will die alongside that failure!"

Cloud then looks at Ocelot and responds with a cold," It's over for you Revlover Ocelot! Did you really think you, Kira, and all the other Titans could get away with this insane idea?"

The mustached man just laughs and answers with a firm," Of course we can, because we are the ones who will reset this corrupt society and run things the way they should! All of you Enji just can't learn your place! Bah, but don't worry, I'll be happy to teach it to you! Think I was not prepared? I have my own anti Enji corps at my side at all times! Now, why don't you introduce your self's ladies?"

Doug then gets annoyed and responds with a agitated," Oh come on? Does everyone we know have to have their own flunkeys? Whoa!"

He then sees a light on his chest and at once dashes back as he sees a laser blast vaporize the ground where he stood! Three new figures then blast out of the ground and come out! They are all in Titans uniforms and all have their faces covered in masks.

One of them has some fancy headgear on its head and has four metal octopus arms coming out of it! The person is Laughing Octopus!

The person to the left is armed with a heavy blaster that is larger than either X, Samus, or Zero's blaster and has giant metal wings!

This person is Raging Raven!

The third person is wearing some shoulder pads that come with four extra arms!

Two of those arms have glowing knifes, and this person is Screaming Mantis!

At once Octopus gives of a mad laugh and wryly says," Finally! Looks like its fun time again heh!"

Ocelot just raises a eyebrow and says," What happened to Crying Wolf?"

Raven just responds with a edgy," She is "entertaining" some more Enji snakes along with some that Samus Aran. But don't worry; we will be enough to kill theses unworthy rebels!"

Mantis then has her magic energy form around her while saying," Yes, time to give theses trespassers something to really scream about !"

Ocelot then chuckles and says," Ah, I think it's time I introduce you all to my Beauty and the Beast corps! Go along ladies; give them your calling card!"

At once all three of his élite unit charge at their enemies! Doug finds himself instantly dodging the metal arms of his mad foe.

Ben's digimon pal then dodges a barrage of blasts from Raven and James is doing the same from the magical furry of Screaming Mantis!

Cloud sees his team mates fight with the insane solders he sees Ocelot and says," You and Kira, you clearly have no rearguard for life! I know all about how you do things Ocelot, and its about time you get what you long have coming to you! I won't forgive anyone who transforms people in to war machines!"

Ocelot just aims his gun and responds with a flat," Oh that's right, your a bit sore about being taken aganst your will right Cloud? Tsc, given the state theses ladies were in before we found them reforming broken dolls in to worthy soldiers of the new order was a act of kindness. Tsc, you can try and play the hero card but you will be dead before you can pull it off!"

He fires of another round but Cloud just attacks back with an energy sword beam attack to cut through the attack, and nearly cut through Ocelot to! The Titan member dodges the attack and says," Damn you Enji, always resorting to your fancy tricks! But it's not enough; it won't save you this time! Huh, were did he go? What the?"

He sees Cloud right above him with his blade coming right at him and the spiky haired warrior then says," Just because you can't handle the power we Enji have you think we are threats that have to be erased? That hardly sounds like justice to me!"

He then slashes at Ocelot and manages to slash the cheek of his foe! As blood comes down his face Ocelot licks it and says," Damn you Enji! Ha, you want to play rough huh? Find have it your way!"He then takes out a syringe filled with black glowing substance and says,

" Kira knew you clowns would try to spoil the show, that's why he gave me this to level the playing field! Let's see how long you last now!

"He then stabs himself with the needle and at once injects himself! Only seconds later Cloud is shocked to see an aura of darkness envelope the man, and create a shock wave that nearly blows Cloud back!

Ocelot then laughs and yells out a vicious," Yes, that feels good! Now, let's see how good you really are Cloud Strife!"

Cloud powers up and says," What the hell did you just inject yourself with Ocelot? Answer me! Huh, whoa!"

He sees Ocelot cackle before slamming the ground in front of him to open up a metal planting and in a flash hurls it at Cloud! The Enji is able to slash it in half but he is shocked to find Ocelot all ready behind him, and grabs his arm from behind him before twisting it! Cloud struggles to overpower Ocelot and says," This energy, it feels like the darkness!"

Ocelot then narrows his eyes and spits out a furious," Who cares, whatever it takes to beat you Enji at your own game! Now, I think I'll go and finish fulfilling order 66! You should not have come to rescue your comrade, because now all you are going be thrown in the same ditch he is heading to!"

Cloud 's retort is a quick," I don't think so, no one else is going to die I won't allow it!"

Cloud then unleashes all his power and blasts Ocelot of him! His opponent just says," Ah, another feisty one, so be it."

Ocelot then takes out some new ammo, and loads it in to his gun. He then fires it and Cloud once more defects it, only to see that the defected shot goes in to the ceiling, and causes a massive explosion!

Ocelot then says," Heh, anti Enji rounds maid just for you! Theses shots can pierce any of your fancy magical defenses, and shatter you in one blow!"

Cloud then has a look of resolve form on his face and says," I see, so all that means is that I won't let you hit me once!"

Ocelot then frowns before he responds with a scathing," Your smug attitude got old a long time ago; now I think its about time I shoot it off your face boy. Ill show you why a Ocelot never lets its prey escape! "

With that Ocelot keeps on firing at the Enji Captain and Cloud dashes around to avoid his opponents firepower!


Meanwhile, as Squad seven is struggling against Ocelot and his mad ladies Ben watches this while still trapped in the structure with Lacus still trying to hold back the now out of control Soukyouku! Even though Cloud damaged it with his strike it's still trying to fulfill its programming and kill Ben! Ben sees his friends fighting everyone and says," Everyone, no, don't get yourself killed for my sake!"

Lacus just looks at Ben and firmly says," Don't worry, we all have beaten more formidable foes then these kinds of solders. Hang on just a bit, I just need a little more time to take care of this thing and then I promise I will set you free! Now, it's time I, huh? This, energy? Where did it come from? Oh no! AH!"

Lacus is startled when she hears a deep chilling laugh and a strong force all of a sudden hurls her in to the wall! This voice then says," Sorry my dear, but you will not defy the orders of the supreme king. Your time is now!"

Lacus then sees the person that attacked her show himself, and out of the wall appears Cherubimon! The fallen angel Digimon laughs and says," I give you Enji Knights credit for making it this far. However I will not allow you to interfere! I will see to it that things go to plan! "

Lacus looks at the Mega Digimon hovering above her and says," Cherubimon? Why are you siding with Kira? Your suppose to be helping the Lylat King uphold justice, along with Seraphimon and Ophanimon! How could you stray form your purpose? "

Cherubimon just has an aura of darkness form around him before saying," I see you are as blinded as the others.

Both Seraphimon and Ophanimon shared that fool Atem's nativity.

They always sided with his passive nature because they shared his softness! Only I saw how futile his noble ideas were! Yes, peace, harmony, form the likes of you simple minded mortals! Ha, even if another millennium would past, the likely hood of such a farce becoming reality is nonexistent!

Yes, while my two comrade's minds would not waver I became enlightened that the path we were sent to fallow was incorrect. Yes, that is why I have long come to my senses and sided with the true path of justice!"

Lacus then looks at the digimon with disgust before she says," No, even a once noble celestial digimon like you has embraced the darkness? How long have you been plotting against the King?"

The large near jester/ bunny creature then licks his lips and says," Oh, let's just say long enough to make sure this war would be won by those that should win it! "

Ben, still locked up but watching this exchange remembers past events and thinks for a bit before coming to a revelation and saying,"

Hey, now I remember! It was you who aided Xehamaru! You must have been the one during his invasion that let him in to the grand shelter and allow him to abduct King Atem! "

Cherubimon just laughs and says," I applaud your quick deduction skills boy! Yes, I assisted Xehamaru, but it seems he was not able to fulfill my wishes. However, I now see that Kira is the being who is truly capable of bringing order to this chaotic cosmos! And part of that path is for you Enji to get the judgment you deserve!"

Ben then starts to get angry and says,

"Something is going on! What are order 66, and this judgment? "

The purple monster just laughs and says," Pipe down failure! I will finish your execution soon enough, after Ocelot and I crush your pitfall rescue party! "

Lacus then says," You have gone insane! I won't allow you to continue this path!

"Cherubimon then laughs and says,"It's far too late for things to be stopped now. It would be wise of you not to challenge me. My powers and magic far exceeds yours even before I embraced the power of the dark side!"

Lacus then begins to bring out her own holy aura and has her Oath Keeper sword shines she responds with a firm," Even if that is the truth I will not let you win! For the sake of everyone I cannot lose!"

The Digimon chuckles again and uses his magical power to form a spear of pure magic energy! He then says,"A shame, but then you will just have to perish! Lighting Spear!"

He then hurls the glowing red spear and Lacus flash steps just in time to avoid getting impaled as her foes spear goes on to shatter the entire wall that was behind her! She then warps above the digital monster and says," To think you were once a noble creature sent by the celestial ones to help govern this dimension. I won't forgive you for falling so low, Rising Crescent!"

Lacus then surrounds her sword with power and tries to deliver a powerful thrust right to her opponents head! However she then sees the speed of the digimon is much more then she thought as he swiftly grabs the blade with his large hand!

He then says," I do hope that is not your best, because if that is the case then you're in for lots of pain!"

The Digimon turncoat swats her with his other hand and sends her flying in to the ground! Ben then gets even more angry and says," No Lacus! Fight fair you freak! "

Cherubimon chuckles as he responds with a mocking," How noble of your concern, but it's her own fault for trying to fight me. Even a majestic beautiful flower like her will wilt by my power!"

Lacus then gets back up and cuts in with a strained," I don't think so, this flower has more thorns then you think. And, If you keep looking down on me then it will be a fatal mistake."

Cherubimon bares his fangs at this and then says," What is it with you Enji and your stupidly? It gets quite irritating after a while."

Lacus just flips some hair out of her face before she answers her foe with a playful," I pity you; it seems you have completely lost touch with what it means to have compassion. I will not lose to you."

Cherubimon reacts by grasping his right arm tightly and growling out,"Heh, compassion leads to weakness, and from that extinction! We will see how long it takes you to come to your senses! Lighting Spear!"

He then forms another energy spear and this time throws it like a boomerang at her!

However she jumps in to the air and with her free hand sends out her energy ribbon to grab it! While her opponent is still shocked by this she throws it back at Cherubimon, aiming right for its head! However he then fires a blast of dark energy to cancel the attack!

Lacus is ready though and says," Now is my chance, Radiant Burst!"

She then has her aura form in too many energy flowers at instantly has them surround the foe! Before he can react he is blasted on all sides! He continues to get blasted by energy blasts till it causes a explosion! Lacus sees this and says, "Whew that was close. He was stubborn but was a little to overconfident for his own good. Huh, no it can't be!"

She hears the same chuckling from before and sure enough the smoke is blown away from the aura of Cherubimon!

While he has burnt marks all over he is still far from finished and as he looks at Lacus he says," Not bad, Lacus Raystar. However, time you are taught a lesson in true power! Storm of Judgment!"

The villain holds his hands up in the air and his magic energy causes storm clouds to cloud the sky above them!

He then points a finger at Lacus and a lightning bolt and once breaks down to strike Lacus! She is just able to get out of the way as it shatters the ground! She continues to zigzag around the room as lightning bolts keep trying to strike her and she says," This is not going well, his power is greater than I thought. Still, I just have to keep moving and close in before he can hit me!"

She continues to run around the room so fast it's like a blur and the Digimon just says," It's useless, I can do this all day! You cannot out run your death! Huh, now what game are you playing?"

Lacus then pauses just long enough to glare at her enemy before she snaps out a sore," You think this is a game? This is no time for games. However, if you insist, then how about a game of catch!"

She then goes to strike the bad guys head again and he just says,"Oh my, running out of tricks all ready? How sad, guess you're not as talented as I heard! What, oh no!"He sees that just as Lacus is going to attack, she stops and backs of, however he realizes that since she moved so fast that the current lighting bolt blasts down, and hits him instead! As he is being electrocuted she says," Yes, now is my chance! Burst Stream of Judgment!"

Lacus then has her energy flare up and fires of her favorite energy wave attack! As it heads for the electrified digimon he glares at her and says," I see, I mistaken how crafty you are my lady. However, this game ends now!"

He then shocks her and has his energy explode and blast back both her attack and his own lighting!

Lacus is blasted back as well and says," No, he was only faking being hurt?

"Cherubimon then gives a demented grin before he answers her with a wicked,"You really thought you could harm me with my own attack? That might have worked on a lesser digimon, but not on a superior being such as me! Now, this fun has gone on long enough. Time to smash this defiance in the name of the king!"

He then bursts at her to punch her but she jumps to the side to avoid it. However, he surprises her by casting a spell and with his other hand catch's her in midair with a gravity spell to freeze her in place! He then says,"Well, looks like I won this game of catch. Thank you, it was very amusing!"

Lacus struggles to overpower his hold and says," No, I have to, AH! "

Before she can user another word another lightning bolt strikes down, and hits Lacus! She screams out in pain and this gets Ben even madder as he says,"

Lacus! Damn it, I have to get out of here! Even, even if I die I can't let anyone else suffer because of me! Have, to get out of this thing!"

He then sees Lacus fall to the ground, looking hurt and her Enji Uniform around her right shoulder and arm was torn and burnt, but still able to fight. She then looks at her foe and says," That was careless of me, I cannot allow that to happen again."

Cherubimon then licks his lips before he callously states,"If you wish to avoid further suffering then do the sensible thing and surrender. I am sure that his majesty will find a place for someone of your beauty."

Lacus then looks defiant and says," No, I won't surrender to the likes of you! I rather die then became a slave of insane people like you and Kira!

"This angers her foe and darkness surges from him before he yells out ," Bah, that's just what Ophanimon said to! Why does everyone reject my will! So be it! You will die now!:

He then puts his hands together and forms a large purple energy ball before hurling it at Lacus! As it heads for her he says," It's as I said all along, the likes of you could never defeat me! You Enji were fated to die the day you stood against true justice!"

As the energy bomb comes closer to Lacus she says," No, I refuse to let things end here. I must keep my promise, no matter what! I, have no choice but to unleash, my real power! Just remember you asked for it!"

Just then the blast collides in to her, but the digimon is shocked to see a massive surge of energy flare up from within Lacus, and blast the energy ball in to the sky where it gives of a big explosion!

Cherubimon then looks bewildered before he states," Impossible! Her power level was no were near high enough to repel my attack! What trick is this? Huh, no, it can't be!"

He then sees Lacus floating in the air, with her magic aura once more taking the shape of a dragon.

However this time she is releasing even more of the power of the Blue Eyes White Dragon then she did against the Pysco Gundam mark II and two wings of pure energy are on her back and scaly white armor is forming all over her body! The corrupt digital monster looks at her and says," This power, so you are the child that had the Blue Eyes White Dragon infused in to her body? Well, this makes things even more interesting. Thank you for reveling your power to me, now I will take that enormous power into myself and make my power on par with Kira!"

Lacus just glares at her foe and she coldly states," You can try, if there is anything left of you when I am done. It's time for you to leave this world."

This angers her foe and he says," My, still being so cocky? I had enough, time to, RAH!"

The corrupt angle like figure can't even finish his speech because Lacus warped to right in front of him and smashed him over the head to send him flying! However before he can even hit the wall she extends her magic aura to have it take the shape of a large claw and grab Cherubimon!

She then slams him in to the ground and then slashes him hard! Ben sees this and says,"Lacus, you drawled out the power of that monster inside you even though you hate to even acknowledge that it exists, just to help me. I, have to get out of this thing! If, only I was not so tired. Still, if everyone else it fighting so hard to save me even after all I did I can't let them down!"

Ben then continues to try and break free of his many shackles as he watches the battle in front of him.

However, despite Ben's rising desire to come to Lacus and the others aid at the moment it seems she does not need his help at all because now that she unleashed her true power she is thrashing Cherubimon around like a soccer ball! However, after dodging her newest strike he fly's in to the air and says,

" Bah, you will pay for that you abomination! The power you gain by junctioning that great monsters power is indeed vast, but I am still the superior one! All you are doing is making me mad and making your death even more painful! Thousand Spears!"

The Digimon proves he is no longer playing around by having his energy explode, and countless large red energy spears burst out and all zero in on Lacus! However she is undaunted at this new attack and just as her energy shimmer before saying,"You talk too much, and it's getting annoying. Time you see that when you push too hard you pay the price! Eternal Penance!"

Lacus then has her blade have a massive column of light flood out, and she then simply charges in to the spears and destroys them all with a touch!

She then lunges at her opponent and the startled enemy tries to dodge, but cannot dodge it totally and finds himself losing half of his long right ear! He screams in pain and glares at her while saying," You brat, how dare you! I'll kill you!"

Lacus just retorts with a indifferent," Well, I guess your superiority is nothing more than a sham. "

This causes Cherubimon to lose it and he says,"Sham? I am one of the three celestial digimon sent down to this dimension to watch over the state of you worthless mortals! I will never be defeated by a mere human!"

With this he has his power shake the room, and start to case objects throughout the entire area to be hurled around! The digimon tries to fling them at Lacus but they all are vaporized when they touch the aura surrounding Lacus!


The others, who have been turning the tide against Ocelot and his "laughing" ladies, all see this to!

Doug just managed to kick back another blast from Laughing Octopus when he sees this and says," Whew, Lacus sure has been on a hot streak lately! Still want to get in are way lady? Hey what the?"

Doug only turned his eyes of his opponent for a second and she is gone!

Annoyed he says," Hey, don't run away just because your battle is not going the way you like it! Bah, fight like a man! Er, even if you're a women because it's not a excuse to be a coward! "

Doug then punches the ground, but is surprised when four metal arms break out of it! Before he can react they all entangle Doug and begin to strangle him! The female fatal then shows she had used her cloaking technology to hide and trick Doug!

She then squeezes hard and laughs out a deranged,"Come on! Laugh, while you can Enji scum! There's no escape from death! Laugh yourself to death! Hahaha!"

Doug then begins to feel the pressure and says," You're a real piece of work! However, this is getting old, Fury Aura! "

Doug then powers up and unleashes his full power to shatter the tentacles and blast his foe back!

He then cracks his knuckles and brashly says," All right, lets finish this!"

Miss laugh a lot just laughs even harder and says," What a riot! Come; show me how funny you are! "

She fires another blast but Doug then kicks it away and says," Find, I'll show you a real funny move! Sanjuu no Kiwami! "

Doug then dashes right at the solder and punch her right in the face! This shatters her helmet, and shows the pretty face underneath! She feels the power of the attack and says," You know, that's not very funny. "

With that the full effect of Doug's strike and is sent flying in to the sky! As Doug makes sure she is gone he sighs and says,"Man, Kira really likes to have the psychos at his side. Hey, how's everyone else going? He then hears a few explosions to the left and sees both James and Wyrmmon returning fire from the other two elite solders.


At the moment the two heroes' are having a hard time dodging the heavy artillery of Raging Raven and the barrage of high class magic spells from Screaming Mantis in unision! Wyrmmon then fly up in to the air and says," Whew, these guys are bonkers! "

James fires of a volley of energy arrows and says,"Yes, they more like mad animals then humans.

Raven then yells out a coy," Hahaha, those who fight only need to know how to kill and how to win! Show me your rage!"

She fires missiles from her wings and Wyrmmon then says," You want to see how fed up I am with you jerks blasting at us? Find by me! Magma Cyclone!

"The Digimon then fires a powerful cyclone of fire to burn up the missiles! However before they can hit their sender Mantis appears in front of it and with a wave of her hand causes the attack to be redirected back at them! As she does she says," Yes, let's see your screams of misery! "

The two heroes' are able to dodge the attacks and James quips out a coy,"" This is getting annoying, we have to wrap this up quickly and get Ben out of that thing."

"Ranging Raven then responds with a crazed,"" Yes, let's wrap this up! Lets burn all who opposes the new order in to ashes!

"She then fly's up in to the air, and seems to charge up all the power she has in to her arm cannon!

Mantis then warps to behind the duo and powers up herself and says," Yes, there is no place for traitors in King Kira's supreme kingdom! Scream in despair, Ultima!"

She then fires of one of the most powerful magic spells around , while her partner fires of her full powered energy cannon on the other side!

Wyrmmon then says," Ah nuts, we are trapped! "

James then sighs and says," Lucky for us we, or at least I have a few tricks of my own. Hang on!"

James then quickly casts a alchmy spell to lower the ground aaround him and Wyrmmon to move the duo a bit below where they were, and now the blasts are heading for both members of the unit! It's too late for them to move out of the way, and they are both consumed by each other's attack and engulfed in massive explosions!

Wyrmmon sees this and looks at James and says," Wow, that was almost too easy! It almost feels like a cop out!"

James just shrugs and responds with a casual,"Oh well, not every battle ends in a dramatic fashion like in films. They were annoying anyway screaming at the top of there lungs left and right. Come on; let's see if Cloud and Lacus need help. "


As they hurry up to run back to where Cloud and Ocelot are they can see their squad leader is being kept on his toes!

Thanks to his mysterious injection Ocelot is able to move at the same speed as Cloud and with his fire power able to leave a very big hole in Cloud he can't afford to slip up!

Ocelot is keeping the pressure on Cloud this whole time and as he sees the man with the large sword try and charge at him he fires a shot at the pillar to Cloud's left and causes it to come crashing down on the Enji!

Cloud is able to slash apart the rubble coming his way, but it leaves him open for Ocelot! The gunslinger fires of another shot right for Cloud's head!

Cloud is just barely able to raises his sword in time. However as he blocks it he is shocked to find out that the round was no normal bullet or blaster bolt but a custom Gravity bullet! Before the Enji Captain can even react and the shot blasts him in to the ground hard! Ocelot then laughs at seeing the Enji being smashed to the ground before he cracks out a wry," So this is the extent of the abilities of a former first class SOLDER eh?

Meh, just about what I expected. You Enji Knights think your fancy sword skills make you so great but swords have long been a mere formality in fighting. For all those fancy moves it just takes one shot to kill a man. Time for you to catch up with the times!"

Cloud just breaths hard as he struggles to get back up and says," As I recall the saying goes the man makes the weapon, not the other way around. "

Ocelot just snickers , and takes out another gun before saying," True, all the more reason you and your order are goners!"

He then fires two shots at once, but Cloud thinks fast and has his sword split out another sword to block the shot, and he then grabs both of them and charges at Ocelot! The gunslinger fires another shot but Cloud swiftly smashes that shot to the right. Ocelot thinks nothing of this, till suddenly he sees the bullet bounce off the pillar Cloud smashed it in to, and thus cause it to ricochet towards Ocelot! The Titan widens his eyes in horror as he sees this, and as he dodges his own shot he rasps out," What, he was able to get a ricochet shot on me!? Huh, NO!"

While Ocelot was able to dodge the bullet it left Cloud a opening and the Enji Captain wastes no time to go for the kill on the self proclaimed ricochet master gun slinger as he says," Never, I will never let you and the others enforce your dirty handed tactics on everyone! Ill end this now, Omnislash Ver. 5!"

Ocelot sees Cloud's sword glow and his magic energy explode and he says," What? No, get back!"

He fires more shots, including a pair of exploding ice and acid bullets, but Cloud dodges them, and then has his sword split in to five different swords! He then sprints at the Titan member, and in a flash takes one of his swords and slashes Ocelot right across the chest! He then unleashes the full fury of his most powerful attack and lands every hit of his lethal combo!

Cloud finishes the assault with one furious thrust and stops just as his blades land on the ground.

When they do Ocelot turns to him and points his guns despite his wounds and says," Ha, is that all you got? Not bad, GUH!

As if on cue blood pours out of Ocelot from every ware and he drops his guns! He is on his knees and struggles to keep that up. He then looks at Cloud, and to our hero's shock gives of a laugh before mockingly saying,"Struggle all you want, but Kira is going to kill you all anyway no matter what you or any other Enji does. Still, I'll give you some credit to do this to me. Hahaha, HAHAAH! You're pretty good."

With that he falls face down on the floor, and as he coughs up blood and stays still Cloud bets that he is either dead or going to be that way soon. At that moment Doug, James, and Wyrmmon all run up to Cloud and Doug says," Ah looks like you got things wrapped up here nicely Cloud. That will show that cocky mustached thug."

"Cloud just puts his swords together and says," He was tough all right, but today was not the day to push my buttons so to speak."

Wyrmmon then sniffs Ocelot and says," So, we are sure he is dead right? You can never tell with these guys."

Doug then pokes Ocelot's body and then kicks him over before saying," Hey you! Anyone tell you your mustache is way outdated? You look ridiculous! Ah, yah he is dead as a doorknob. So, now that theses jokers are out of the way we can finally get are bro free!"

James then looks around cautiously before he says," Wait, Lacus is still fighting that Digimon? Whoa! Er, guess that answers that. This energy, I never felt such a strong power level from Lacus before. She must really be holding nothing back."

They all then run in to the center of the large room, where they see that the battle between Lacus and Cherubimon is still raging on.


However, it seems that ever since unleashing the power of the Blue Eyes White Dragon sealed from within her she has been unrelenting in her attacks, and the mega digimon is starting to feel the pressure! At the moment he is trying to impale her with dozens of red energy spears, but is annoyed to see Lacus just have her energy explode and blast them all away!

Lacus sees her enemies frustration and just yells out a vindictive," No matter what magic you use you will not be able to beat me. Its time you get the justice you deserve Cherubimon!"

Cherubimon just growls and says," Enough! The only ones who will receive the justice they deserve are you irritating Enji! What, bah! Ocelot and his toys were useless!"

He then sees Cloud and the others run up to near Lacus and Cloud says," Lacus, glad to see you have been holding your own. That's no small fleet against a celestial digimon corrupted by darkness. "

Doug then grins and pounds his fists while saying," All right, time to put an end to this little case of "Cherubimania "!"

They are all about to jump there foe when they are shocked to see Lacus appear before them and say," No, your assistance is not needed. I want to destroy this fiend myself."

Cloud hesitates before he then says," Are you sure Lacus?"

Lacus then proves her point by flash stepping behind Cherubimon and kicking him in to the air! As he is sent flying upward she warps above him and slams him to the floor! As he is sent through the steel pavement James looks curious as he states," Wow, Lacus is fighting much harsher then normal. Something is different about her."

Cloud looks at her and carefully says,"This could get complicate things. I hope she is not losing control over it.

Doug looks puzzled and says," Control? Of what? "

Cloud just sighs before he answers with,"Nothing, come on guys focus. We just have to take out this guy and then we can free Ben. And at this rate it looks like it won't be long.:

They see another explosion of magic energy and a furious Cherubimon blasts out! He is seething with rage and says," You truly are a anomaly Lacus Raystar! I will not forgive this! "

Lacus quickly responds with a ruthless,"You're the traitor, and that sounds much more like an anomaly that can't be forgiven!

Cherubimon then laughs and says,"Bah, so be it. I'll just gain even more power! "

He then dashes over to the unstable but still functioning Soukyoku! While Cloud's slash cased it to go haywire the energy is no longer the shape of a Phoenix and is know just a massive sphere of power it's still giving of a massive amount of power, and Cherubimon wants that power desperately!

He at once draws it out, and forms it in to a sphere! He then says," Yes, this will be enough to crush you all! I will know fulfill my duty to oversee Ben Auro and all of yours executions!"He then slams it in to his forehead and absorbs it! His aura then triples in size and his aura turns red!

Cloud cringes a this site as he steps back and says," Sigh, its one thing after another!"

Meanwhile Lacus reacts to this by narrowing her eyes and emitting a bored ," No matter what you try and pull you're still a monster."

Her foes face turns in to a grimace and says,"Your one to talk. You're a hybrid of a human girl and an ancient beast. While Ocelot's little band of girl psycho solders may look like brutes on the outside and pretty from within. You may look like a beauty but are truly a wretched beast! A true freak even in this vast cosmos!

Yes, I remember now when I first heard the tale. How amusing. Your family fused the Blue Eyes White Dragon within you to save your life, even though they knew your life would never be the same! Yes, I was one of the ones who wanted you sealed up because I knew the destructive power of the four celestial beasts must be controlled! However, like always that naïve king and the Grand Master thought they could train, or more like tame you! Tsc, my fellow celestial ones must truley have been careless to think someone like you could ever have such power, your to weak to muster any destiny but ruin!

Poor dear, your whole life is a tragedy and no matter how much you try that is all it will be!"

Those that did not know this information before hand are quite shocked and James looks at Cloud and says,"Is this Digimon telling the truth Cloud? "

Cloud just looks down and responds with a blunt," Sorry, but its classified information, for Lacus's sake more then anyone's."

It seems the words of the evil monster is getting to Lacus and her eyes widen with dismay as she says,"Stop it! It's not true! I, am not a monster! "

Seeing Lacus frozen in fear and self doubt Cherubimon ascends in to the air and says,"Oh but you are a monster. Your existence will one day bring suffering to all when the demonic beast inside you takes full control. And trust me, it's only a matter of time for no matter how strong your will is it's powerless against the will of an angry beast that has existed since the great war against the supreme dark god!

But don't worry, I'll be merciful and put a end to your suffering! Terminal...Judgment!"

The bad guy unleashes all of his power in to a massive purple lighting blast that heads down right for Lacus! Ben sees this and says," Is that guy nut, he is going to blow up this whole castle with an attack that strong! No, Lacus!

" As the massive energy blast heads for her she seems to be frozen with terror as she mutters," No, I, don't want to be condemned! I am not a monster! I, have worked hard to contained this dragons will. And thanks to Master Myers, Captain Terra and the others I know I can control it. I will not let anyone cause me to be alone. If you keep coming at me, then I must destroy you!

Ultimate, Burst Stream of Internal Oblivion!"

Lacus then has her magic energy explode before her aura takes the shape of a dragon head, and she swiftly forms two massive energy balls in her hands. She then forms a third one in front of those two, and fires a massive delta blast right in to her opponents!

At first they clash and seem to be equal but after a while Lacus yells out and pours even more power in to it, and soon it shatters Cherubimon's attack, before heading right for him!

Horrified he says," No, impossible! AH!"

The blast consumes him before it blasts him through the northern wall, and happens to blast right through the east part of the Soukyoku as well before causing an explosion that shakes the castle! After a few seconds and nothing happening Wyrmmon then says," All right! She did it! Way to go Lacus! You have been great today! Huh, what's wrong?"

Even after blasting Cherubimon she does not seem to relax, and then clutches her forehead!

She then erratically shouts," Everyone, everyone wants to seal me up! But, I won't let them get away with it! "

Cloud gets nervous and says," Oh great, using that much power seems to have awakened the mind of the Blue Eyes White Dragon! Get ready, it's not over yet!"

Lacus then looks at her comrades, and they see her eyes are no longer the color of her own! As her aura becomes even more erratic and maleficent she then wildly says," You all, won't be forgiven! Have a taste of my suffering! "

She then has dragon hands of pure energy break out of her back and is about to strike everyone! However Ben then says," Lacus! Stop this, the battle is over! Please, snap out of it!"

Ben's words seem to reach her and she turns to face him!

She is frozen for a few seconds before she then slowly says," Ben, I, AH!'

Lacus then screams and falls to her knees, and then her aura turns to normal and the dragon armor fades. She then looks up, with her normal eyes and says," Sorry for that, it was more power than I expected. Is everyone ok?"

Ben then takes a deep breath and smiles before he answers with," Seems like it, you guys even managed to shut down this machine.

Lacus looks relived before she reacts with a kind," Good, I was so worried. "

Cloud then forms a relived grin ," Hang on Ben, we will get you out of there in a sec."

They all go over to the structure still locking Ben in and he says," Everyone, thank you, I thought everyone had given up on me."

Wyrmmon then turns back in to Hiryuumon and then goes over and licks Ben's face before saying,"Your head's been way to loaded with stress to see it but we will always have are backs!"

Ben then emits a small smile and says," Thanks. But, even still. Aren't you all in big trouble and breaking the law! Even King Atem won't just over look breaking out a mass murderer."

Everyone looks at him and Cloud says," Well, I don't think that will be much of a stretch. But, does this mean you really don't know what's going on Ben?"

Ben looks confused and says," I figured something has been weird lately , but no one has been telling me what. "

Cloud then turns dead serious before he solemnly says," That Kira, trying to kill you with you having no idea. Ben, Kira has betrayed us.

"Ben gives of the quite appropriate responds of ," What!?

"Doug then kicks the pillar in front of him down and adds a sly,"Let's just say Kira has been playing everyone for chumps. He turned against King Atem, overthrew him and made himself the new Supreme King of the Lylat Kingdom! He then issued this messed up Order 66 to have all his Salvation storm troopers try and waste the entire Enji order! Luckily are friends were able to help us out, and now we are here to rescue you from injustice and kick Kira's turncoat butt!

"Ben is just beginning to comprehend all of this, and then says," Kira, did all that!? HE tried to kill everyone!? What, what the hell has he been doing? Wait, the timing between Idious, my attack and his strike can't be a trivial occurrence! "Lacus looks sad and says," Yes, we knew Kira was somehow behind your events. Even if we had no proof, I, we knew that you would not just decide to betray and kill us!

Ben then says," Then, this could only mean that, huh? This energy, what the?"

Lacus then looks concerned and says," What do you mean Ben? AH!"

All of a sudden a bright energy hits Lacus, and the others moments later! This energy seems to paralyze them and soon after a creepy laugh breaks out!

Soon they found out who did that when none other than Cherubimon flying back down!

He has a large hole in his chest and he is severely wounded, but it seems that his wounds are slowly regenerating and he is proving that he still is a threat! He looks mad now and says," My, if I did not put all my power in to defending myself you might have been able to finish me of! But I won't let you have that chance, you are all dead!"

Lacus struggles to move and says,

" You, can heal your wounds? Ah! No!

"Ben then says," No, not now! Damn you! "

Cherubimon then laughs harder and says,"Ah, so you learned the truth huh? Even so its to late to change your fate Ben Auro! Yes, Kira I and the others planned for his path to absolute power for a long time now. And you, welder of the Star Sword, were one of our star players! Yes, the chosen one falling in to madness and becoming the messenger of death.

It's all thanks to your weak mind that Kira had the perfect time to take control!

"Ben's anger is boiling and he says,"Your, you're telling me that Kira planned all along for me to become Darth Idious? It's his fault I attacked and nearly killed my friends?"

Cherubimon just responds with a harsh," If you have anyone to blame, then it's your own fault for not having the will to endure the pain of loneness and betrayal! Yes, are plan was you to continue on your rampage, cripple the Enji order and really kill King Atem so Kira could step in and destroy you to seal his place as the savior of the Lylat Kingdom. But oh well, like all true master minds I will give him credit for having a backup plan that was implemented so, smoothly. HAHAHAH!"

Ben then takes everything in, and his outrage is surging through him before he grasps his fists tightly and slowly says," Kira, I won't, EVERY FORGIVE HIM!"

Cherubimon senses Ben's power is rising and says," To bad, you will never have a chance for revenge because this all ends here! Die, die DIE! Absolute Satanic Spear!"

He then channels all his power for a massive spear of dark energy and says," So long! "He waves it to drop down on everyone, and Ben sees all his friends still unable to move! Desperate now he says," No! I can't let it end like this! Everyone, everyone believed in me even after all that I have done. I can't fail them, and I can't Kira get away with this! I, won't, LOSE!"

Cherubimon then senses an overflowing power and turns to Ben while saying," It's futile,you all ready proved your a failure of a hero there is nothing you can, huh? No, NO! AH!"

He then has his eyes blinded by a large light that lights up the area, and creates a massive surge of energy that blows Cherubimon back! When the foe opens his eyes he sees that the many restraints have all been blown apart and Ben is standing in front of his friends , free, back on his feet and with his magic energy souring!

Cherubimon then looks at this site with horror before he says" You, you should not have been able to do that! You had no power left!"

Ben just grinds his teeth as he snaps back with," Is that so? Then how can I do this! "

As those words leave his mouth he is instantly right up to the Digimon and punches him hard in the chest, so hard that he spits out blood! He then glares at Ben and says," No, how could this happened? Your spirit was broken; you had no reason to live!"

Ben then just stares at him and says," I admit, I had given up all hope for a while. My anger, my sorrow, my hatred, I could only feel those emotions.

Because I thought everyone had rejected me, I gave in to my darkness and let it control me. However, I see now, I see that I had given up to soon! I, I really do have real friends that I can trust! There is still things worth fighting for! And, I won't let those that believed in me no matter what! I will not forgive you for what you are trying to do!"

Ben's friends see Ben has regained his resolve and Cloud says," Ben, I knew the real you was still there. Glad to see he was able to come back to us just in time."

Cherubimon then tries to replace his fear with out rage as he booms out,"

You, you dare act like you have the right to talk to me like that you failure!? Who do you think you are? Your nothing but a weak failure! And now you will be deleted!"

The dark Digimon then hurls his large energy spear right at Ben! However, Ben just looks calm, and holds out his hand. A instant later the Star Sword easily breaks out of the chains holding it down, and instantly appears in its owners hand just in time for him to block the large red spear with ease!

Ben then has the Star Sword shine and he says,"Who do I think I am? Who the hell do you think I am!? I am Ben Auro, the hero that was chosen by the celestial ones to weld this sword to defeat scum like you and save the cosmos from Chaos Zannacross Necron!

I may have screwed up big time, but now, more then ever I refuse to throw away my honor and dreams no matter what! Now, its time I show Kira just what I think of how he has treated me lately! But first, you're going down now!"

Ben's magic energy explodes and he charges at Cherubimon. The Digimon panics and says,"

No, stay back! You can't defeat me! Thousand Spears!"

Ben just says," Its over! This sword of mine is burning red! Its loud roar cry's out for me to grasp victory! Now, take this! Shinning Flare Slash!

" With this Ben charges right at Cherubimon and has the energy around his blade grows immensely he slashes through every attack thrown his way before he jumps high in the air, and slashes the weakened massive Digimon horizontally in half!

As he sees Ben land he says," Curse you Ben Auro! But, even this won't finish me! Huh, no wait! "

Ben just charges up his energy and quips out a driven," How about this? Shinryukenha! "

With that Ben unleashes his trademark energy blast, and fires it at full power at point blank rage to totally vaporize Cherubimon!

He then screams out one last time with," No, NO! RAHH!"

His mouth and the rest of him is then blown apart as Ben's blast soars in to the sky before giving of a massive explosion!

This light lights up the sky, and everyone can feel this power! Master Zoda and the others have just beaten the last attackers in the area and Zero then walks up to the small master and says," Where did that come from? Better not be another goon of Kira."

Zoda just smiles and says," No, most good this sigh in. Ah, glad I am, to see he was able to come back from the blink. "


Of course Kira sees the light from Ben's blast from the top of the castle. And is not amused at all at this turn of events. He just sighs and says,"

It seems my faith in Ocelot and Cherubimon to get the job done themselves was unfounded. So, he has chosen to die the painful way then. So be it, it seems that once more, I must finish things, with my own hands. Mara, tell Captain Arcadia , Captain Atom and all other soldiers in the castle to do whatever it takes to neutralize the invaders.

Very well, come if you dare before your king Ben Auro. Come to me so I can make you and all that are as foolish as you feel the true meaning of pain and suffering!"

Meanwhile, back at the chamber Ben has just powered down and turns to check on his friends. With Cherubimon dead his spell is gone and Ben's now free friends at once run up to him! Hiryuumon nearly tackles Ben and says," Boss! I knew you would not give up so easily! That was great! "

He then licks Ben and he smiles while saying,"Heh, thanks Hiryuumon, for everything. Guys, thank you, you believed in me even when I did not believe in myself."

Doug then gives Ben a thumps up and says," No sweat! Like we were just going to let are buddy be wasted because Kira said so! Wicked comeback by the way!"

Ben then slaps Doug and James a high five and turns to Cloud. Cloud then chuckles before he throws in," Ben, I am glad you were able to snap out of it. We, all fall in to the darkness from time to time. No one is perfect, not me, not Zack, Grand Master Myers, no one. What is important is that we are able to step back up."

Ben then says," Cloud Sensei, thank you. Heh, looks like you guys went through a lot to save me. I guess I just can't afford to fail now!

"Cloud then crosses," Don't push your self. After all, the one who spearheaded your rescue was Lacus.

Ben then turns to Lacus, and he tries not to blush as he keeps his cool as much as he can before he says," Lacus, thank you for still believing in me.

Lacus smiles warmly before she winks and says," Of course Ben! I told you, I will always be your friend. You did not think I was just going to let you be killed did you?"

Ben then looks embarrassed and says,"Its just that, I knew you were mad at me and I , huh? "

He is shocked to see Lacus his face and she looks dismayed before she says," Oh look at you! Kira, he really treated you horribly. I, I am so sorry you had to suffer for so long. Please, don't worry about what I said before Ben. I let my own anxieties and fustraitions make me act like someone that I am ashamed to have been. Here, let me heal you."

She then at once casts her healing spell over Ben and he nonchalantly says," Well, it was nothing major, but thanks.

Lacus then smiles and says,"It's the least I could do, for not being able to hear your cries for help. I won't let anyone blind my eyes to a friends suffering again. No matter who it is, that I will promise. "

Ben realizes Lacus is touching his hand and he feels overwhelmed with a happy sensation before he then says," Lacus, thank you."

As they share a tender if awkward moment James tries to move things along by saying," So, who wants to bet Kira is ready to grind us all to dust now?"

Cloud then says," He can try, but we won't let him. Its time we settle things. All right, ready to move out squad 7? "

Ben looks happy and says,"Oh yah, thanks to Lacus I feel good as new. Its time I make up for lost time, let's show Kira that he does not know everything! Time for him, to see what justice really is! "

With this Ben leads the way as are heroes race of to regroup with his friends, and with are main star back on his feet and with his friends a renewed Ben is ready to give Kira more then a piece of his mind! However, even if Ben has regained his senses for truth, justice and heroism will it means anything against the overwhelming power of the mad son of the Grand Master?
