City Under Siege.
Previously on "When Destinies Collide"… Myotismon encased all of Odaiba in an imperturbable fog bank, hoping to trap the final DigiDestined kids. He then sent out Bakemon and Phantomon to separate the children from their families. Reye, Rini, and Serena were the only DigiDestined captured. Reye remembered the first time she fought the Bakemon and used the same 'mind over matter' chant she, Amy, and Joe used before. It worked until the recording was destroyed. That's when DarkTyrannomon appeared. Little Palmon digivolved to her Ultimate level, Lillymon. Serena achieved her Super Sailor upgrade. DarkTyrannomon was returned to a tame state, thanks to Lillymon's 'Flower Ring' attack. But to make things worse, Myotismon arrived. Will Lillymon fair okay in her fight with Myotismon? Find out in this chapter of, "When Destinies Collide"…
"Flower Cannon!" Lillymon fired her main attack, but it didn't do much damage to Myotismon.
"You really think you can damage me with that?" Myotismon taunted.
Lillymon glared at him.
The vampire lord digimon used his 'Nightmare Claw' attack, which stunned Lillymon. He then used his 'Grizzly Wing' and sent Lillymon falling to the ground.
"Lillymon!" Super Sailor Moon cried. She ran as fast as she could to where her partner was falling.
A few feet away, Sailor Mars and Sailor Mini Moon were fighting off as many Bakemon as they could.
"There's just too many of them!" Mini Moon yelled.
"I know." Mars agreed. "What are we supposed to do?"
Both scouts heard Super Sailor Moon scream and turned to see her running up the stairs. Lillymon crashed into the Convention Center, her entire body was grey, her energy was depleted.
"Reye, you need to get out of here." Alan said to his granddaughter.
Sailor Mars nodded. Falconmon and Birdramon were circling the Convention Center, attacking any Bakemon that they could find. Sailor Mars whistled and Falconmon flew right to her.
"Chad, get on." Mars ordered. "She'll get you to safety."
"Not without you Reye, if I go you're coming with me." Chad told her.
"I expect you two to watch out for each other." Alan said. "I will handle these evil creatures, you do what you need to do."
"Okay." Sailor Mars replied. Chad jumped on Falconmon's back. He held out his hand for Reye. "I love you grandpa." Reye said. She took Chad's hand and Falconmon flew away from the Convention Center.
Super Sailor Moon knelt by her digimon. "Lillymon? Lillymon!" she cried. The flower digimon remained motionless and non-responsive.
Myotismon hovered behind Super Sailor Moon. "Two for the price of one." he chuckled, darkly.
"Meteor Wing!" cried Birdramon.
"Sailor Moon." Mini Moon yelled. The small scout jumped from her digimon's leg.
"Sailor Mini Moon, can you do something for me?" Super Sailor Moon asked.
"Sure, anything." Mini Moon replied.
Super Sailor Moon carefully lifted Lillymon into her arms. "I want you to take Lillymon and get her away from here. She needs to regain her strength."
Mini Moon carefully took Lillymon from Sailor Moon. "Okay. I'll take care of her."
"I know you will." Sailor Moon told her. "Now get out of here, now."
"But what about you?" Mini Moon asked, worriedly.
"I'll be fine. Just find the others." Sailor Moon reassured the small scout.
Sailor Mini Moon nodded and ran to the edge of the Convention Center, "Birdramon!" the phoenix digimon flew infront of Mini Moon and the small scout jumped on her. Birdramon then flew as fast as she could, following Falconmon's path of flight.
Kari tied a small piece of cloth over Agumon's injured arm. She smiled and rubbed it gently.
"No way!" Tai and Sailor Venus exclaimed.
"Yes way." Matt said.
"Yeah. Myotismon is keeping us trapped like rats." Super Harmony followed.
"He's such a creep." Sailor Venus clenched her hands into fists. "I would love to see him in the middle of Cerberumon's 'Emerald Blaze'."
"You and me both girl." Harmony agreed. "I just want him gone." Super Sailor Harmony gripped the white mask in her hand.
"So what is he getting at taking our families?" Matt asked.
"Probably leverage or something. Or maybe weakening us? Who knows with that guy." Tai said.
Kari and Super Sailor Melody walked up to the older DigiDestined. "This is all our fault isn't it?" Kari asked.
The older kids looked at the two younger girls. "No Kari, it isn't your fault." Tai bent down so he was eye level with his little sister. "Everything happens for a reason, it's called destiny. So no need to blame yourself."
"But Myotismon is after us. He made this fog bank so we wouldn't leave the city." Super Melody chimed in. "And it's because of us that everyone's families were taken by the Bakemon."
Super Harmony put her hand around her daughter. "He just can't accept the fact that we're going to win this fight." she said. "Nothing is going to happen to you or Kari, not so long as I'm here, got it?"
Tai checked his digivice, the time read 7:30 am. "Okay give me two hours to go find Mom and Dad, and your little buddy Gatomon." Tai said to Kari. "If I'm not back by then, get somewhere else safe."
"I'll go with you Tai." Sailor Venus said.
"No." Tai told her.
"Why not?" Venus asked.
"Because I need you to watch Kari for me." Tai answered. "I wouldn't trust anyone else Mina. Besides she really likes you."
Sailor Venus smiled. "Okay, but if you're not back in two hours, I'm coming to find you."
"I'll hold you to that." Tai chuckled. He turned to Kari. "Kari, I want you to be a brave, big girl for me while I'm gone. Okay?"
Kari nodded and gave Tai a hug. "Be careful." she said.
"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Tai reassured. "You ready Agumon?"
"Yeah." Agumon nodded.
Sailor Venus gave Tai a quick hug. "Be careful man."
"You too. Take care of Kari for me." Tai said, hugging the scout back.
Sailor Venus and Tai stood eye to eye. "You got it." Sailor Venus said, winking.
Tai nodded and he and his digimon ran towards the Convention Center.
Lita swung a baseball bat and sent a Bakemon flying out the window. But more just kept coming. "How many of these things are there?" she groaned.
"Electric Wing!" Zapdomon struck two more Bakemon down. "I don't know. They just keep coming."
"Well they need to stop." Lita yelled.
"What exactly are these things Lita?" Randy asked. He and Layne were in the hallway, hiding from the ghostly digimon.
"Nasty things is what they are." Lita replied, slamming another Bakemon through the window. "If they're attacking us up here, then…" "Izzy!" she cried aloud. "We have to get to his place."
Zapdomon nodded. "Let's go."
"Why must we go to Izzy's house?" Layne asked.
"Knowing Izzy, he probably has some kind of barrier set up so the Bakemon can't get to him. That's our best bet at being safe." Lita replied. "Just stay close behind me."
The Kino family rushed out of their apartment and ran towards Izzy's apartment. "Please be okay Izzy." Lita thought to herself.
In his home, Izzy received a message from Gennai. Attached to it was a Digital Barrier program. Izzy quickly downloaded it and began installing it.
"Hurry, those Bakemon are getting closer by the minute." Tentomon said, anxiety in his voice.
"Give me a few minutes." Izzy told his digimon. "I told dad I needed a quicker modem." he muttered to himself. The program began installing, but it was very slow at doing so.
Back in Shimbashi, the ferry terminal was crowded with people. Because of the heavy fog conditions in Odaiba, the ferries weren't running. And the people were not too happy about that. Among the people in the crowd were T.K and his mother, Nancy. As the crowd got restless, T.K and Nancy were separated.
The hoard of Bakemon stormed the levels of the apartment complex one home after another. Lita and her grandparents hid in various hallways.
"What are we going to do Lita?" Zapdomon asked.
Lita held her green transformation staff tightly. "The only thing we can do." she replied. The brunette turned to her grandparents and said, "Guys, what's about to happen, you can't mention to anyone. Besides the fact that Zapdomon isn't really a stuffed animal, I have another secret, one I've kept for about two years now." Lita took a deep breath.
"Sweetie, whatever this secret may be, you can trust us. I promise we'll take it to our graves." Layne said.
"Yes honey." Randy added. "And I'm sure you had a good reason for keeping it so long."
Lita smiled at her grandparents. She took a deep breath, "Jupiter Star Power!"
"Ready Zapdomon?" Jupiter asked.
"As ready as I'll ever be." replied the electric yellow bird digimon.
"Grandpa, grandma. Stay behind me, as close as you possibly can." Jupiter said.
Layne and Randy nodded.
A group of Bakemon passed by and Sailor Jupiter and her digimon attacked them. "Sparkling Wide Pressure! Electric Wing!" they both shouted.
"Let's move!" ordered Sailor Jupiter.
In his bedroom, Izzy was still waiting for the Digital Barrier program to install. It was nearly halfway done when Izzy's parents, Yoshie and Masami, barged in telling Izzy it was time to leave the apartment.
"No." Izzy protested. "Believe it or not we'll be safer here."
Yoshie was ready to drag Izzy out if she needed too, but Masami stopped her. "Dear, maybe he's right." he said. "The kids seem to know a lot more about these monsters than we do." Masami turned to his son and nodded. "Go for it son."
Izzy's eyes grew wide and he smiled. "You got it."
The barrier had finally been installed and Izzy was busy, trying to put it up in time.
"Jupiter Thundercloud Zap!" the Scout of Nature and Storms threw her electric discuss at the group of Bakemon in front of her.
Phantomon hovered in her line of vision. "Well if it isn't one of you DigiDestined Sailor Scouts." he said, in his deep, haunting voice.
"That's right cloak and dagger." Jupiter smirked. "Zapdomon, get him!"
Zapdomon lunged for Phantomon and used her 'Thunderstorm Spiral' attack, sending the phantom digimon spiraling out of the way.
"Great work Zapdo." Jupiter praised.
"Anything for you, Sailor Jupiter." Zapdomon replied.
The group headed for Izzy's apartment. Four Bakemon came up from behind Layne and Randy and snatched them.
"Grandpa! Grandma!" Lita cried.
"We'll be fine dear. Just do what you have to do." Randy called.
Sailor Jupiter nodded and ran to Izzy's front door. With a high-powered kick, she busted down the front door.
"Izzy! Izzy!" she called.
"Who could that be?" Yoshie asked.
Sailor Jupiter was standing in Izzy's bedroom doorway. The DigiDestined boy turned around, "Lita! You're alright. Awesome."
"I can say the same about you." Lita replied.
"It's Sailor Jupiter." Masami stared at the tough girl scout standing in the bedroom.
"Yes that is true." Izzy said. "Mom. Dad. It's Lita Kino."
Izzy put up the Digital Barrier right when Phantomon and two Bakemon stormed the apartment. The group stood motionless and waited till the digimon left the apartment.
"It worked. The digital barrier is in place." Tentomon said.
Izzy's parents didn't say anything. They simply stared at the mechanical lady bug digimon.
"Smooth Tentomon. Very smooth." Zapdomon whispered.
"Zapdomon." Lita whispered harshly.
"Oops." the electric bird chuckled lightly.
Yoshie fainted after the two digimon spoke, blowing their cover.
In the midst of all the chaos, Amy and Joe ran out of the ferry terminal and out by the harbor.
"Amy! Joe!" T.K called. The small DigiDestined ran up to his friends.
"Hey T.K." Amy greeted.
"I thought you two would be in town with the others?" T.K asked.
"No we were across the harbor when the power went out." Joe informed.
"So how do we get across?" T.K asked again.
Amy and Joe smiled. They held out their duffle bags and unzipped them. "This is how." Joe said.
Gomamon and Sealmon popped out of the duffle bags. "All aboard the digimon expresses." Gomamon laughed.
"You two ready?" Amy asked. The two small seal digimon nodded.
"Gomamon digivolve to…Ikkakumon. Sealmon digivolve to…Walrainmon."
"Climb aboard you guys." Ikkakumon said.
The two boys climbed on Joe's champion digimon, while Amy climbed on hers. A man noticed the two digimon and screamed it out loud.
Nancy heard and ran to see what the commotion was all about. She noticed T.K was sitting on one of the digimon and ran on the docking port.
"Mom it's okay, these are two of my friends from camp. Their names are Joe and Amy." T.K said, trying to reassure his mother.
"Get down from there at once." Nancy ordered. She reached the end of the docks.
"Bye mom. I'll be back with Matt and dad by dinner time." T.K waved goodbye to his mother.
Nancy watched as her youngest son sailed away on the back of the white walrus digimon.
Yoshie laid on Izzy's bed with a cold washcloth on her forehead. She woke up to find everyone else still in the room.
"So Izzy, if you're still talking to me. The Digital Barrier must have worked." Gennai said.
"Yeah it worked like a charm." Izzy informed.
"I don't know how you did it Gennai, but thanks." Sailor Jupiter added. "You really saved us from being spook chow."
"Any time my young friends." Gennai replied. "Now listen, this fog is not a natural phenomenon." he went on. "It's Myotismon's doing.""Well duh!" said both DigiDestined.
A map was displayed on the screen, an aerial view of the city. "The source of the fog is here." the 'here' was indicated by a red dot.
"That's the TV station." Jupiter noted.
"If you take out the source, the fog should dissipate." Gennai informed.
"We're on it." Izzy said.
He packed up his laptop and he and Sailor Jupiter headed for the door.
"Be careful Izzy." Yoshie called.
"I will." Izzy replied. "You both just stay here until I get back. The barrier will protect you."
"Don't worry Mr. and Mrs. Izumi." Sailor Jupiter said. "As long as I'm around, Izzy will be just fine."
The two DigiDestined headed out the door and onward to the Fuji TV station. Their digimon partners flying right beside them.
Tai and Agumon noticed a Bakemon resting and jumped him. Sailor Mars noticed from the air. Falconmon descended and the Sailor Scout jumped off. "Tai." she called.
"Sailor Mars." Tai said, shocked to her. "Where is everyone?"
"The Convention Center." Mars replied. "Everyone is there. Including your parents."
Tai glared off to the side. "I'm really beginning to get sick of this guy."
"Yeah. And Serena is trapped their too." Mars added.
"Okay. Sailor Mars, go meet up with Matt." Tai ordered. "He's in the were house down town." he informed. "Sailor Venus, Harmony, and Melody are with him."
"You got it. Be careful Tai. There's Bakemon everywhere." Sailor Mars told him.
"Hey, I've got Agumon, I'm golden." Tai gave a thumbs up and ran towards the Convention Center.
Sailor Mars jumped back on Falconmon. "You heard him girl. Let's go."
"You got it." squawked Falconmon.
Sailor Jupiter and Izzy were getting closer to the TV station.
"Wow that is one big building." Tentomon sighed, catching his breath.
"Yeah, if we need to destroy it. We should digivolve." Zapdomon added.
"For all we know there might be some more people inside." Sailor Jupiter cautioned.
"I say we check it out first." Izzy voted.
The other three nodded. They headed inside the TV station, careful not to be seen by any of Myotismon's henchmen that may be lurking around.
"Wizardmon huh?" Matt questioned. "Is that your digimon?"
"No my digimon is Gatomon." Kari corrected. "Wizardmon is like her best friend. But he got captured by the bad digimon."
"That's so horrible." Venus sighed.
"Yes it is." Kari agreed.
Matt was staring off into the fog bank. Super Harmony walked over to him.
"You alright Matt?" she asked.
"Yeah. Just worried about T.K." Matt answered.
"I see. I bet he's on his way right now. Coming here to help us finish off Myotismon." Harmony guessed.
T.K was staring ahead as Ikkakumon and Walrainmon swam into the middle of the bay.
"We're almost there." Sailor Mercury said. Her blue scanning visor was over her eyes. "Once we pass the bridge, we'll be through the barrier."
A low growl was heard. Mercury scanned the surrounding areas. She then noticed a red sea dragon wrapping itself on the side of the bridge.
"I knew this was too easy." Patamon said.
"That's MegaSeadramon." Walrainmon informed. "The regular old Seadramon was bad enough, but compared to this fully digivolved version, it was just an angry guppy."
"This is really not good." Joe noted.
MegaSeadramon tightened his hold on the bridge and the entire right side fell apart and began to sink.
"Oh great." Joe said, sarcastically. "We'll probably get blamed for this."
"Harpoon Torpedo! Misting Winds!" attacked the two digimon.
A faint explosion was heard when the attacks made contact with MegaSeadramon.
"Bulls Eye!" Joe cheered.
"Don't start celebrating yet Joe." Mercury told him.
The combined attacks didn't faze MegaSeadramon at all. They just made him more angrier. The red sea dragon digimon fired his 'Thunder Javelin' attack. The blue thunder stuck the two walrus digimon, causing the DigiDestined to fall into the water.
Sailor Mercury was the first to come up for air. "Patamon, where's Joe and T.K?" she asked.
"I don't know." Patamon replied, worriedly.
Sailor Mercury put her visor back over her eyes, took a deep breath, and dove under the water to search for her friends. She scanned the sea and saw T.K slowly sinking. Mercury wrapped her arms around TK's body and Joe's arms wrapped around hers.
Joe helped pull Sailor Mercury back to the surface. A piece of debris from the collapsed part of the bridge floated over to them.
"You two should be safe. Just hang on to that." Joe told them.
"Joe. You saved us." T.K said.
"I'm the oldest one here, that makes me responsible for you two." after his short speech, Joe began to sink beneath the water.
Sailor Mercury released her hold on T.K. "You just hang on to this." she said. "I'll get Joe."
The soldier of Water and Ice dove back into the water and swam towards her sinking friends. She reached out her hand and grabbed Joe's. Just as their hands clasped together, both of their Crests began to glow.
Joe's digivice turned black and Amy's turned a dark, ocean blue.
"Ikkakumon digivolve to…Zudomon. Walrainmon digivolve to…Sirenmon."
Zudomon resembled an orange walrus creature, with a green shell and a metal hammer. His tusks were visible.
Sirenmon resembled a blue sea dragon, with a lavender shell on her back. Her eyes were a sparkling Sapphire Blue, and she had a small white horn on her forehead.
As Sirenmon appeared, under the water, Sailor Mercury's uniform upgraded. The back ribbon elongated, and it was a light shade of blue. She also gained three more dark blue studded earrings on each ear and a star in the center of her light blue choker necklace. Super Mercury gasped for air when she reached the surface. Her Crest of Purity was cutting through the fog bank.
Super Mercury lifted Joe into Zudomon's hand while she climbed onto Sirenmon's back.
MegaSeadramon used his 'Thunder Javelin' attack once more. Sirenmon absorbed the attack, via the white horn on her forehead. "You want to try that again?" Sirenmon asked, slitting her eyes.
"Get him Sirenmon!" Super Mercury cheered.
"No problem." Sirenmon replied. The white horn began to pulsate. "Hydraulic Torpedo!" a spiraling water jet built up and struck MegaSeadramon.
Zudomon raised his metal hammer, which pulsated with electric energy. "Vulcan's Hammer!" he slammed the hammer down on MegaSeadramon, causing the red sea dragon to loosen his hold on the bridge.
"Now one final strike and we can get back into town." Super Mercury said. A medium sized harp, made entirely of water, appeared infront of the Scout. "Mercury Aqua Rhapsody!" pulsating streams of water struck MegaSeadramon at all possible points. The sea dragon digimon released his complete hold on the bridge and sank into the water.
"You guys did it!" T.K cheered.
"We make a great team don't ya think?" Joe asked Super Mercury.
"Yes we do." replied the super soldier of Water and Ice. "Now let's hurry back to the others."
"Full engines ahead!" Joe ordered.
The two Ultimate digimon swam through the opening in the fog left by the glow of Mercury's Crest.
Izzy and Sailor Jupiter were searching the interior of the TV station. So far they weren't succeeding in finding the main source of the fog. Two Bakemon floated down the adjacent hallways, trapping the two.
"What are we going to do now Izzy?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
"I don't know." Izzy replied.
A door behind them opened and someone pulled them inside the room before the Bakemon could spot them.
"Who are you?" Sailor Jupiter asked.
The man who saved them was, Hiroaki Ishida.
Zudomon and Sirenmon were swimming closer to Odaiba. On a nearby piece of floating wood, Wizardmon was half-conscious. He held up the Crest that belonged to Kari. Sirenmon lifted Wizardmon onto her back. Super Mercury carefully laid Wizardmon down. The DigiDestined continued their way to Odaiba.
Sailor Venus read the time on her digivice. Exactly two hours had passed since Tai left.
"Tai should have been back by now." sighed the Sailor Scout.
"Where could he be?" Kari asked.
Sailor Venus' champion digimon was laying on her stomach, paws crossed, and head on her human partner's lap. Dobermon lifted her head and nuzzled Kari's hand. "I'm sure he's fine Kari. Don't worry." encouraged the digimon.
"I hope you're right." Kari gently stroked Dobermon's head.
A few miles away, Birdramon and Falconmon spotted the where house. "Hello? Anybody in there?" called Sailor Mars.
Super Harmony and Sailor Venus ran out to meet their fellow scouts. Mars and Mini Moon ran to Harmony and Venus.
"Oh thank goodness you're all okay." Mars said, hugging Harmony.
"Same to you." Harmony replied. "What exactly happened?"
"Myotismon gathered everyone in the entire district. And he's holding everyone prisoner in the Convention Center, including Sailor Moon." Mini Moon informed.
"So what exactly do we do?" Sailor Venus asked.
"I have a suggestion." said a dark, haunting voice. Phantomon hovered over a nearby street light.
With a swipe of his scythe, two digimon appeared. One resembled a green dinosaur with red and black tusks growing from his back. The digimon's name was Tuskmon.
From the air, descended a green praying mantis like digimon with razor blades for front hands. That digimon's name was Snimon.
The two digimon began to advance towards the DigiDestined team. The three Champion digimon ran out of the where house and took up a protective stance alongside Birdramon and Falconmon.
Matt turned to his digimon, who gave him a nod. "Gabumon digivolve to…Garurumon."
The six Champion digimon formed a protective wall infront of the DigiDestined.
"Don't worry we can handle these guys." snarled Lionessmon.
All the digimon soon broke out into a battle. The two bird digimon fought Snimon, while the four land digimon fought Tuskmon.
Sailor Mars and Sailor Mini Moon nodded at each other. "You two need to digivolve!"
"Birdramon digivolve to…Garudamon. Falconmon digivolve to…Vulturemon."
Chad was a little freaked out at the sudden transformation of the two digimon, and of the Sailor Scouts.
Tuskmon threw the four digimon piling on him, in four separate directions. Dobermon was slammed into a column holding up an overpass. Garurumon and Bengalmon landed a few feet away from their human partners. Lionessmon skidded to Super Melody's feet.
"Lionessmon?" whimpered the small scout. "Lionessmon!" Super Melody cradled her digimon's head.
"Harmony Rose Crossbow!" the rose arrow struck Phantomon.
"Now you will pay for that." threatened the phantom digimon.
Sailor Venus threw her golden love chain and grabbed a hold of Phantomon's scythe. "You can't hurt us without your stupid scythe now can you?" she snickered.
Phantomon pulled his scythe back and sent Sailor Venus flying next to her digimon.
"Mina!" cried Super Harmony. She tried to run to her friend, but Phantomon caught her.
"Let her go right now you cloaked creep!" Matt yelled. He threw a rusted crowbar at the phantom digimon, holding Super Harmony in a chokehold.
Phantomon tightened his grip. Super Harmony gasped. "Now this is what happens when you cross me, little girl." he whispered in her ear.
Garudamon slammed into the side of the where house and Vulturemon crashed in front of Super Mars and Chad.
Lionessmon gathered her strength and tried to stand. "No, Lionessmon. Don't do it." Super Melody pleaded.
"I have to do what I can to help." Lionessmon said. She lunged for Phantomon, her teeth bared.
"Shove off kitty cat." Phantomon shoved Lionessmon back to where she was.
Super Melody knelt down by her digimon. She and Kari exchanged glances of worry. And they finally nodded. Melody left her digivice and Crest by Lionessmon's paw.
"Stop it!" shouted both girls.
"It's us that you want." Kari said.
"We're the children you've been searching for." Super Melody added.
"No, stay back you two." Harmony gasped.
Melody locked eyes with her mother, "If you promise to stop hurting them, we'll come with you quietly. Wherever you want." Kari nodded in agreement.
"Well at least one of you Sailor brats is cooperative." Phantomon sharply said.
Tuskmon and Snimon retreated from the battle scene. With solemn nods, Kari and Melody said, "We're ready."
Dark blue orbs surrounded Kari and Super Melody. Phantomon released his hold on Super Harmony and threw her down to the ground.
"Piper." Matt gasped, kneeling down beside her. "You okay?"
Super Harmony put one hand to her throat and caught her breath. The orbs carrying Kari and Super Melody, floated up near the TV Station.
Will the DigiDestined save Kari and Catherine? Or will Myotismon rule both the Real World and the Human World? Find out in the next chapter of. "When Destinies Collide"…
