I have come to you all today to bring you chapter 35 my wonderful readers. Now scoot closer and enjoy everyone!

In the Demon World...

''Can you two please slow down?'' A tired Gotsumon asked.

''We don't have time to slow down Gotsumon! We have to reach my father and fast.'' Marcus answered until he had an idea. He shifted to his dragon form, put Agumon and Gotsumon on his back, and flew off to his father's castle. ''Is this any better?''

''Much.'' Gotsumon answered out of breath. Marcus sensed danger and immediately dodged a blue energy blast. He landed by several large rocks and saw Craniamon.

''Impressive that you dodged my attack but the next one won't miss.'' Craniamon said.

''We don't have time for you Craniamon! I need to see my father!'' Marcus shouted.

''That won't happen. I'll destroy you before you even get to his castle. However, my business is with no one who has demon blood within them. If you chose to surrender now half-demon, then I'll spare your life.''

''As if I'd surrender to you. Humans have more potential than you give them credit for.''

''Then show me this potential that your human half has.'' Marcus flew straight towards Craniamon and dodged his double-edged spear. Craniamon's fist headed straight for Marcus until he stopped it and punched it.

''DNA Charge...Overdrive!''

Agumon double warp digivolve to...ShineGreymon!

''Arise my Omni Shield!'' Craniamon shouted and a large shield appeared in his left hand. ''This shield can block any attack that you throw at me. If your human half has the potential you speak of then I challenge you in a battle to try and defeat me to the very end.''

''Fine but I must warn you that my dragon wings can do more than just allow me to fly. They can do the same thing that your shield does.'' Marcus said flexing his wings.

Meanwhile...

''Why couldn't we just call a taxi?'' Ralph asked as he and the others free-falled into the Demon World. At the last minute, he and Ricky shifted to their third stage (the one with the wings) and caught the others. They safely landed in the Demon World and took a look around.

''I hate coming back here.'' Falcomon said after Ralph and Ricky detransformed.

''Suck it up man! We need to hurry and find Marcus!'' Ralph said and the others agreed.

Back with Marcus...

''Shining Blast!''

''Lightning Torpedo!'' Both Marcus and ShineGreymon flew straight towards Craniamon with their attacks but Craniamon's shield blocked it. The explosion blasted Marcus and ShineGreymon back a few yards.

''At least get serious with this fight or surrender.'' Craniamon said and Marcus appeared out of the smoke.

''Pyro Jab!'' Marcus shouted and a series of flame engulfed punches hit Craniamon's shield but it did nothing. Marcus leaped away from Craniamon and floated a few feet above the ground. Marcus cracked his finger bones back into place and smirked. Then ShineGreymon appeared behind Craniamon.

''Glorious Burst!''

''Power of Breath!'' The attacks combined and blasted ShineGreymon back.

''Did you get him?'' Marcus asked after ShineGreymon landed next to him.

''Not yet.'' ShineGreymon answered and Craniamon appeared with a barrier surrounding him.

''That pathetic attack didn't even leave me breathing hard.'' Craniamon said and ShineGreymon headed straight for him.

''Glorious Burst!''

''Lightning Beam!'' Both attacks combined and hit Craniamon's shield but when the smoke cleared, the shield didn't even have a scratch on it.

''Damn that shield is pissing me off.'' Marcus said.

''Is that the strongest attack you can possibly do?'' Craniamon asked and he charged straight towards ShineGreymon. He dodged a swing of Craniamon's spear but it hit him straight in the stomach on the second swing. ShineGreymon hit the ground and Craniamon charged towards Marcus.

''Thunder Dragon Wings!'' Marcus shouted and his dragon wings expanded to the size of ShineGreymon's. The wings were covered in electricity and folded around Marcus. The spear hit his dragon wings multiple times and Marcus was forced back a few feet every time. Craniamon stopped his attack and leaped away from Marcus.

''I see that you were speaking the truth about your wings after all.'' Craniamon said and Marcus' wings turned to normal.

''GeoGrey Sword!'' ShineGreymon got up, punched the ground, and a sword appeared.

''Very interesting but I highly doubt it will even leave a scratch on my shield.'' Craniamon said.

''We'll see about that.'' ShineGreymon said and Marcus summoned his own dragon sword. Both swords hit Craniamon's shield and the force of it whipped up strong winds. They both dodged Craniamon's spear and and swung their swords multiple times on it.

''Is this really supposed to be the potential that your human half possesses? If it is then I'm quite disappointed.'' Craniamon said.

''Well it's not. I'm just getting warmed up.'' Marcus said.

''It's time I end this fight once and for all.'' Craniamon said as he knocked ShineGreymon and Marcus back. He leaped in the air and almost struck ShineGreymon but he rolled out the way of Craniamon's spear. Marcus and ShineGreymon appeared above him and struck their swords on Craniamon's shield. Both swords broke in half from the force of the blow and Craniamon knocked them both to the ground with his spear.

''What're we gonna do now boss?'' ShineGreymon asked and Marcus looked up at the sky to see all the lightning striking everywhere wildly. Then Marcus' eyes widened when he thought up and idea.

''Of course. Why didn't I think of that sooner? I'll get you to Burst Mode and I'll need you to stall him while I use the lightning up there to charge and strengthen my power, then I'll attack that shield when I have enough energy.'' Marcus said and ShineGreymon nodded.

''Charge! DNA...Burst Mode!''

ShineGreymon Burst Mode!

''Now go ShineGreymon!'' Marcus shouted and he flew up towards the wild lightning. He lifted his claws to the sky and closed his eyes to concentrate. The lightning from Marcus' body appeared and surged around his claws. His wings stretched out widely and the wild lightning in the sky responded by striking Marcus' claws. Marcus could feel its energy transferring to him as he watched the battle between ShineGreymon and Craniamon. ShineGreymon hit his flaming sword on Craniamon's shield multiple times and Craniamon knocked ShineGreymon back with his spear. ShineGreymon flew straight towards Craniamon again and their weapons clashed. Craniamon blocked ShineGreymon's sword again and knocked him to the ground with his spear.

''You're still no match for me so just accept your fate that King Lunarion has decided.'' Craniamon said and Marcus growled.

'Damn. I still don't have enough power yet.' Marcus thought as he continued to gather power from the wild lightning in the sky.

''Shock Ringer!''

''Full Moon Blaster!'' The two attacks hit each other and a large explosion resulted. ShineGreymon looked up and saw MirageGaogamon, Thomas, Rosemon, Yoshi, Ravemon, Keenan, Ralph, and Ricky floating above him.

''Thanks guys.'' ShineGreymon said.

''Where's Marcus?'' Thomas asked and Ralph sniffed the air.

''He's up there!'' Ralph shouted and the others looked over to where Marcus was. ''He's gathering energy from all that lightning.''

''Now let's take Craniamon down.'' Ricky said as he and Ralph shifted to their third stage.

''Great. More humans, digimon, and two demons.'' Craniamon said sarcastically. Then lightning raged wildly everywhere and Marcus floated down next to them with newly transformed golden arms that represented all the energy he gathered.

''Told you Marcus would have a field day with all that lightning.'' Ralph said and Ricky snorted.

''Charge! DNA...Burst Mode!''

MirageGaogamon Burst Mode!

Rosemon Burst Mode!

Ravemon Burst Mode!

''Alright guys, everybody aim for Craniamon's shield.'' Marcus said and ShineGreymon's sword struck Craniamon's shield.

''Final Mirage Burst!'' MirageGaogamon shouted and the burst of energy hit Craniamon's shield.

''Kiss of Breath!'' Rosemon shouted and the hearts blasted several beams of energy at Craniamon's shield.

''Crimson Formation!'' Ravemon shouted and a large wave of purple energy hit Craniamon's shield.

''Arctic Spiral!'' Ralph shouted as he spun around rapidly along with the snow surrounding him and the attack hit Craniamon's shield.

''Poison Daggers!'' Ricky shouted and hundreds of green green glowing daggers rained down rapidly on Craniamon's shield. All those attacks caused several cracks to appear on his shield.

''Impossible!'' Craniamon shouted.

''Final Shining Burst!'' ShineGreymon shouted and the large red energy hit Craniamon's shield, caused the Royal Knight to hit the ground. Then Marcus appeared above him.

''Say goodbye to that shield. Lightning Dragon Strike!'' Marcus shouted as his right fist was covered with powerful electricity and he punched Craniamon's shield, causing it to break into tiny pieces from the force of it.

''H-How could a mere half-demon best me?'' Craniamon asked looking at his broken shield. Then he set his spear on the ground in front of Marcus. ''I lay my spear down before you in defeat half-demon. You've proven to me the potential that your human half is capable of. You may enter the castle and seek out your destiny Prince of Demons.''

''Thanks Craniamon.'' Marcus said as the digimon and demons detransformed. Then they flew off on Marcus' back to King Lunarion's castle.

'We're coming father.'
