Listening to Pokémon music while I write this :)
"If nobody shows up to Ebonwumon with the Spirits, who gets to be the Sovereign?" Takuya asked.
"Yeah, that's the main problem I have to deal with. Right now, there's a Digimon called Raremon who's totally convinced Ebonwumon to be the next Sovereign. The problem is, Ebonwumon doesn't know he's evil, which is why I need to get those Spirits before he dies or another evil Digimon gets to them," Shoutmon said.
"Do you think maybe that's why the Demon Lords want our Spirits?" Adrian asked.
"It could be, but I'm fairly sure they'd have something more…cunning planned," Koji said.
"That's only because you don't know about the Sovereigns," Bokomon said.
"Even I know who they are," Neemon said.
"The Digimon Sovereigns are the four protectors and Gods of the Digital World. They are so strong, that even Lucemon or Susanoomon could hurt them. They have a lifespan that is longer than the average Digimon, being roughly 5,000 years. It is said that, when they die, or grow too old in Ebonwumon's case, they do just as Shoutmon described. Shoutmon, is getting the Spirits the only way to get Ebonwumon to make you the temporary Sovereign?"
"I'm afraid so; we can't even kill that awful Raremon, because Ebonwumon would never give the position of Sovereign to a murderer," Lillymon said.
"Which is why I want to help you guys take out the Demon Lords; if we help you, then you won't be giving away the Spirits for free," Shoutmon said. "Also, the entire Digital World will be saved, not to mention the fact that those Demons tried to kill the two of us. I need to get those Spirits as soon as the Demon Lords are all dealt with."
"What if we were to draw them out somehow?" Koji asked.
"Sounds kind of risky, but better than sitting around waiting for something!" Shoutmon said.
"How are we going to draw them out?" Takuya asked.
"Guys, you'd better come out here, quick!" Koichi suddenly entered the room, then quickly ran out, followed by all the others. Once outside, they could see numerous buildings around the Fair in flames, which would have made a beautiful sight against the new, dawn sky if it weren't so tragic. "A Digimon is doing this! Several Digimon saw a blue Dragon-like Digimon racing across the Fair and setting them on fire!"
"Flamedramon!" J.P. said angrily, and soon Flamedramon's voice could be heard echoing across the entire Fair.
"Digimon of the Autumn Leaf Fair; you are all innocent in all of this, so I don't want to have to attack you anymore. Right now in our Fair, there is a group of humans calling themselves the Ten Legendary Warriors. Bring them to me within the hour, and my attacks upon your Fair will cease."
"He's quite pushy, isn't he? I wonder how many Digimon will try to turn you in."
"Cherubimon!" Tommy exclaimed. "And Commandramon! How long have you been here?"
"Long enough to know that you plan on drawing the Demon Lords out somehow, and that once that they're all gone; Shoutmon is going to use the Spirits to gain Ebonwumon's favor. The part with Shoutmon shouldn't be a problem, but are you sure you should be doing something as dangerous as luring those Demon Lords out? What if all six of them come and attack you at once?" Cherubimon asked.
"That's a chance we're just going to have to take; we can't have those Demon Lords threatening the Digital World!" Koji said.
"What if we were to use Flamedramon to draw some of the Demon Lords out? The Demon Lords need them alive, and if Flamedramon is trying to kill them, the Demon Lords will show themselves," Shoutmon suggested, and everyone looked at him in shock.
"You mean use the humans and Flamedramon as bait to lure them out?" Commandramon asked.
"I think that's a good idea. What have we got to lose?" Takuya asked.
"You're lives; your Spirits!"
"I think only the two who attacked us would be coming to fight us; you know, to have a little revenge and all," Lillymon said.
"Plus, they said they would prefer to keep themselves a secret from other Digimon. Cherubimon, do you think you and Commandramon could go and help the Digimon around here evacuate?" Shoutmon asked.
"You're giving me orders? You have a lot of nerve," Cherubimon said with a grim smile.
"I'm going to be the next Sovereign; I've got to start practicing haven't I?"
"Very well; Takuya, Koji, and Marcel, you three go fight Flamedramon. Zoe, René, and Gavin, you go around the town to put out the flames. Koji, give René her Spirits back. Shoutmon and Lillymon, you track down the Demon Lords. The rest of you, come with Commandramon and me to help the Digimon around here!" Everyone, including Bokomon and Neemon, split up into their groups. It didn't take Takuya, Koji (who had reluctantly given René her Spirits back), and Marcel to find Flamedramon in the center of the village.
"Why aren't I surprised you decided to come and fight me?" Flamedramon asked.
"Execute, Fusion Evolution, Aldamon! Atomic Inferno!"
"Execute, Fusion Evolution, Beowulfmon! Cleansing Light!"
"Execute, Spirit Evolution, Mercurymon!"
The two attacks soared through the air toward Flamedramon, calmly waiting, then dodging at the last minute, and, using the smoke from the explosion as cover, launched several Flame Fist attacks, all of which Mercurymon absorbed into his shields and reflected back, which missed.
"Fire Rocket!" Flamedramon whizzed through the air surrounded in flames, and just barely missed hitting Aldamon in the face.
This fight's just begun, and I'm already worn out! Hurry up and defeat those Demon Lords, Shoutmon! Aldamon thought.
All the Digimon who were running through the streets of the Autumn Leaf Fair paid no notice to the red-robed Digimon who walked calmly though all the chaos and destruction, as though it soothed him.
"Barbamon, Flamedramon's trying to make a mess of things again."
"Oh, I can't wait to steal his soul; please, Daemon, let me be the one who rids the Digital World of that pest!" Barbamon walk out of an alley.
"Yes, I heard you missed your chance when you fought him with Lilithmon; very well, you can take the soul, but I shall have the Fractal Code," Daemon said. The two Megas were being watched by two small Digimon on one of the few roofs that wasn't burning.
"The Demon Lords are here!" Shoutmon said, jumping off, followed immediately by Lillymon.
"Fire Rocket!"
Here he comes…I hope this works! "Solar Wind Destroyer!" Aldamon's flame attack proved to be too much for Flamedramon's', making the flames die out. "Whew…lucked out!"
"You cancelled out a flame attack with another flame attack?" Beowulfmon asked disapprovingly.
"Thou art so reckless…" Mercurymon sighed.
"Flower Cannon!" Lillymon's powerful attack hit Barbamon square in the face, knocking him onto his back.
"Are you all by yourself today? Rather boring, but more safe this way," Shoutmon said.
"So, you must be the two who gave Leviamon so much trouble earlier. I must say, I am quite impressed with your strength," Daemon said.
"All, right; another one!" Shoutmon exclaimed.
"Your strength is proving to be quite bothersome; I must eliminate it. Evil Inferno!"
A horrible feeling of dread and nausea swept over Shoutmon. "Stand back, Lillymon!" but it was too late; the flames that were hotter than Hell itself surrounded Lillymon. Escape was impossible.
