This chapter is going to be insane plain and simple lol. let's begin.
Chapter 36: Maze of Twistedness, Escape from GranDracmon.
Unknown Location/Castle Hall
"Uh mistress..." Echidnamon wondered as they entered into the castle hall from the portal Andes created, Andes turned to her annoyed as Dagonmon decided to go heal himself having sustained the most damage.
"What?" she demanded, Echidnamon pointed to how Ken was still bleeding badly. "Oh that, i'll never understand how the mind of a masochist works." she said as she motioned for a few nearby LadyDevimon's to get the still knocked out Ken. "Take him to the healing bay and have them patch him up just enough to keep him stable, then take him to the prison cells." the LadyDevimon's reluctantly did so, and as they did Ken's digivice dropped to the ground, Andes kneeled to pick it up only to be shocked back by it. "What the hell!" Echidnamon tried her luck, no dice.
"How are we supposed to carry it if we can't pick it up?" wondered Echidnamon, Andes took out her naginata and tried to stab the device, a barrier formed around it shattering her weapon making her sigh.
"Tell some of the ShadowDatamon's to bring thier tools to try and get it, i'm gonna go meet father and let him know we've captured the target...although he's not going to be pleased to hear about the Dragon Saber being taken..." she muttered as she walked off, Echindamon bowed to her before turning to a few Devimon's nearby.
"Make sure that this device goes no where, we can't have the kid or his digimon causing chaos in here." she said sternly, making the demon digimon nod as she flew off to heal herself.

"That's all for my report father." said Andes, GranDracmon sighed.
"Well let me deal with the prophet should it come to that, otherwise i'd say you've done an ok job, but where is his digivice?" he asked, Andes sweatdropped.
"Some ShadowDatamon's should be figuring out how to get it here soon, seems to be tamper proof." she replied, GranDracmon shook his head.
"What of the boy?" he asked.

Prison Cells
When Ken finally came too, he sighed when he looked around his new surroundings, four walls, a bench to sit on and an opening in the only door to the room. "Oh great another jail cell." he muttered before clutching his side which he could tell had been patched up while he was out, but it still hurt abit. "Damn!" as soon as he yelled out a voice from outside the door was heard.
"Keep it down punk!" it was a Devimon. "Sides you really don't wanna be starting up a riot since I bet the master's gonna use you for experiments." Ken sweatdropped.
"Oh you mean like his bitch of a daughter?" Ken mocked back, Devimon was about to say something back, but just closed the opening. Need to get my digivice and get out of here. he thought, he then remembered how the heaven sword formed on his back when he needed it when confronting Sailor Uranus, and seeing as how Andes obviously didn't know about that fact...
"Dude don't you think we should've put him in a different holding cell?" asked one of the Devimon gaurds outside.
"Nah, I know the kid can punch shit hard, but this door is thick as hell, nothing is going to break it, same goes for the other doors as I payed top dollar to have them replaced and..."
CRACK!
Ken used the Heaven's sword to break the door down and impaled the Devimon before quickly slashing the other one cutting his head off. "Should've kept the receipts assholes." he said as he noticed the prison room was circular with seven other doors, knowing he was going to need some help getting out he decided to bust out all of the other digimon in the cells, the first cell he opened held a dark purple knight digimon who looked confused as to what was going on.
"What the fuck!" the digimon asked.
"If you wanna get out of here with me, now is the time." he said before breaking open the other doors, before long all were free, among the other six were a Drimogemon, an Armormon, a Pumpkinmon, a clown like digimon Ken had never seen before and without his digivice he couldn't discern who it was like the knight, but the last two suprised Ken as they were Ranamon and JetSliphymon, two of the legendary warriors, however their color schemes were messed up, JetSliphymon had Ranamon's blue skin coloration while Ranamon was as red as a Ruby. "Don't I know you two?" Ken asked them, however before they could respond, the knight digimon came out of his cell.
"Name is Grademon and...Jokermon why the hell were you locked up?" he demanded, the clown digimon now idtenfied as Jokermon wanted to say something only for more gaurds to show up.
"Another time you stupid rouge...LUNATIC SLASH!" he yelled cutting through the incoming gaurd digimon like butter with a scythe like weapon he pulled from seemingly nowhere., Ken was confused by all this.
Why would they lock up a dark master, something's going on...Ken thought as Ranamon got a good look at him she giggled.
"Well aren't you a cute one." she said as she impulsively kissed Ken making him blush. "You got a plan to get us out of here?" she asked, Ken nodded.
"Yeah but first we need to..." alarms started going off. "..find my digivice..." he muttered.

"Andes...didn't you take his other sword from him before locking him up?" Andes sweatdropped.
"I didn't see him holding it, so I assumed it was in his digivice..." GranDracmon growled.
"Didn't you take his digivice th..." he was cut off when he heard explosions in the distance. "Son of a..." the profanity that followed deafend all the digimon in the throne room as well as Andes.

Castle Hallways
Ken managed to get his digivice back quickly, it only due to the fact Astamon and Veemon managed to release themselves and Astamon unloaded bullets into any nearby demon digimon blowing thier heads off. "Too bad thier ain't a bounty on this, I could get so rich." Astamon said as Ken choose to Armor Digivolve Veemon into Raidramon.
"Whatever." he lept onto the Armor digimon's back and helped Ranamon up as she was the slowest among them. "We need to get out of here, any ideas!" he asked, Drimogemon spoke up.
"Probably has a portal machine somewhere in this castle, we should find it." he said, Ken nodded and the digimon took off down the narrow hallways.
We have to get out of here first and foremost, as much as I want to get this place's coordinates for the others, now is not the time. Ken thought as they tore down a hallway...before realising one other factor as he came to a three way fork. "For the love of...who built this place!" he yelled out.

Throne Room
GranDracmon gave out orders to his minions as Echidnamon and Dagonmon entered the room. "You two, go find Belialmon and make absolutely sure that brat does not escape!" he yelled out, seething with rage as the alarms blazed. "Will someone turn those alarms off! We know the damn problem!" he glared at Andes. "You go find him too, get a BlackVictoryGreymon unit if need be!" he demanded, Andes quickly nodded and left the room along with the others. "I need to keep my eyes on this kid more than I thought, for a motherfucking gundam ascendant he sure causes alot more trouble than he realises, his bones will be hockysticks and his skull my puck!"

Armory Room
"Should've gone down the center path..." Astamon muttered as they found themselves in a large chamber filled with all sorts of weapons used by digimon, on the other side of the room was a large closet like door that seemed to be hiding something. "Although I gotta say this is quite the haul here." Ken dismounted Raidramon as he caught sight of something that intrested him, on a gun rack were two one handed shotguns which he recognized as the ones belonging to Beelzemon.
"Hehehe..sweat..." he said holding them up, all of the digimon present sweatdropped.
"Is he always like this?" asked JetSliphymon, Astamon shrugged.
"Don't look at me, I ain't his father." he said before sensing something coming from the entranceway. "Aw shit...GET DOWN!" everyone scattered as a large fireball entered the room hitting a case of gunpowder causing a massive explosion that nailed Ranamon hard as she was the closest too it.
"Damn it!" Ken yelled as he ran to her side alongside JetSliphymon, Raidramon regressed back into Veemon and ran up as well. "Are you alright!" Ken demanded, not happy at all with what just happened.
"It's ok, I figured I wouldn't get out of here alive...at least I got to see a stud before going down." Ken blushed abit at the comment, he didn't feel as special as she had put it.
"Ranamon you can't go, what about our rivalry!" JetSliphymon demanded, Ranamon mearly smiled to the warrior of wind.
"It's alright, I promise someday we'll meet again to settle things." she said before slowly vanishing, as she did the thrower of the fireball entered the room, Belialmon in his human form.
"YOU NOT ESCAPE YOU..." no more words escaped his mouth as instantly Ken and Veemon transformed into Dramon X before becoming Miracle Mode, they then accessed thier xros weapon and absorbed Ranamon's data into it.
(insert Song, Gundam 00 ost-Fight)
"Shut the fuck up fire hazard." he yelled as his right arm gauntet became an energy cannon. "Xros Weapon, Aqua Blaster!" a beam of concentrated water power flew at Belialmon and to his dismay, his firey shield couldn't block it out and he was pushed back abit.
"DAMN!" he yelled out forming a tomahawk battle axe out of despair and chunking it at the Ascendant, Dramon XMM dodged it allowing the weapon to hit and shatter the large door opposite of them, inside was a large purple and green colored machine digimon that seemed inactive, numerous drills covered it's body and three levers were atop it's head, Jokermon and Grademon both sweatdropped.
"A Gigabreakdramon!" they both demanded, Dramon XMM was confused.
"GigaBreakdramon, I thought it was just called Breakdramon..." Astamon sighed.
"Same digimon for the most part, but GigaBreakdramon is customly modified to be stronger than the normal ones are, however because of this fact they need someone to drive them in order for them to function." Ken then got an evil idea and held up his Xros loader.
"Alright then, Digi-xros! Drimogeomon, GigaBreakdramon!" the two digimon were fused together, GigaBreakdramon's body was now covered in fur, and the drills on his body were even bigger now. "Alright! GigaDrillBreakdramon! Alright, now one of you two control him and use him against this asshole!" Ken ordered Jokermon and Grademon who looked dumbfounded.
"US!" they both said stupified before playing a quick game of Jaken that Jokermon won, he quickly climbed up onto the digimon's back and prepared to fight as Grademon drew his swords, and JeltSliphymon also got into a fighting stance with her pinwheel weapon, Belialmon wasn't phased however it.
"BRING IT!" he said demonically, not knowing that behind him Astamon had pulled out his CDR rifle and had it aimed right at him.

Castle Halls
"Where are they damn it!" wondered Dagonmon as he serched the eastern side of the castle, Echidnamon serched the west side, both met back up in the center with no luck.
"If we don't find them soon the master will have our heads." said Echidnamon, Dagonmon nodded as a sudden explosion rocked the castle. "What the fuck!"
"It came from the Armory Room come on!" Dagonmon said hoping off in that direction.

Armory Room
"Xros Weapon, Aqua Blaster!" yelled Dramon XMM, firing off another strong surge of water power.
"Ultra Turbulence!"JetSliphymon unleashed a powerful wind attack that followed the water.
"Cross Blade!" yelled Grademon unleashing rapid slashing energy with his sword, Dramon XMM mused over this while keeping his focus.
Huh, sounds like my attack, oh well who cares about names! he thought as Belialmon tried to block the incoming attack, but once again with the water dousing his fire it prevented him from fighting properly, and with the wind and slashing energy about he couldn't produce any weapons as they would be knocked away from him, it was at this time Jokermon joined the fun.
"GIGADRILLBREAKER!" he yelled out, GigaDrillBreakdramon's drills all extended forward and he descended towards Belialmon, the overconfident digimon prepared to intercept the attack...when Astamon opened fire on him from behind with the CDR rifle sending a rippling surge of pain across his backside.
"AGH!" he yelled out as the stinging sensation of D-reaper data ripped throughout his body, this allowed Dramon XMM's Aqua Blaster to finally damage him substaintially, and it only got worse once his flest was bore into by the giant mechanical digimon who started ripping his data into peices..."STOP IT, STOP IT..STOP...STOP..." at that moment his eyes narrowed and his tone grew serious as his eyes glowed white. "Enough!" he said as his firey aura rekindled around his body like a warrior releasing thier energy around themself, not only did this disperse the attacks, but it also knocked the giant digimon back leaving all present stunned.
(insert song shift change Final Fantasy VII ost-One Winged Angel.)
"I will never be defeated by the likes of you all." Belialmon spoke in a serious tone, Astamon's eyes widened as did Dramon X's when the two felt something huge was coming. "You've pushed me to my limit's and now, you'll feel the pain of my ultimate attack. SUPERNOVA!" he yelled out causing a huge rippling power surge to hurl through the room, before thier eyes came the vision of several equasions floating before the image of a comet entering a solar system appeared...

Throne Room
OH MY FUCKING GOLDRAMON THEY PUSHED HIM THAT FAR! thought GranDracmon as he too could feel Belialmon's unrestrained power being unleashed, he knew very well that the attack coming could kill all of them effortlessly. "The mental lock has been cracked, this doesn't bode well..." he then quickly formed a mental link to Belialmon. Belialmon, I command you to stop this now before you destroy us all!

Armory Room
The images of planets being destroyed before the comet clashed into the sun were not easy to watch, before long everyone in the room could feel the intense heating energy of the sun coming at them as if it were real...Sephiroth be damned he can use that move. "We gotta get out of her, come on!" yelled Dramon XMM holding up his digivice, he was able to suck in Astamon, Grademon and JetSliphymon as they were close to him, however the heating energy came faster than anticipated which deleted Jokermon effortlessly while starting to delete GigaDrillBreakdramon, frowning Dramon XMM activated his Xros Weapon once more and absorbed Jokermon's data. "Xros Weapon! Joker Shadow!" he yelled out making a clone of himself to take the incoming attack while he vanished from the room, however as soon as the clone vanished, the attack stopped as Belialmon willed it so as GigaDrillBreakdramon vanished.
"I obey your command my master...now I must rest." he said falling over tired and breathing hard, as calling on and using such a move was not easy for him to do.

Castle Hallways
Belialmon was not the only one to be strained, having used his most powerful weapon twice took a toll on Dramon X's body as well, he was forced to digress back into Ken and Veemon, OmegaShoutmon returned to the digivice as well to recover. "I didn't expect that, jeez I wonder if that Virus douche knew that..." Ken wondered as he looked into his digivice's screen. "OmegaShoutmon you ok this time?" he asked, he got a thumbs up from the digimon.
"Yeah, still unlike with that Blightmon guy I feel abit tired, Astamon and the two newbs fill the same way." he said before Grademon and JetSliphymon bonked him on the head for that, Ken sweatdropped and called out Arresterdramon and Sorcermon before looking at Veemon. "What about you buddy?" he asked.
"I have enough strength to become Raidramon once again, but that's all." Ken nodded and converted his partner back into his armor form. "Alright, let's do this." he said helping Sorcermon on and the group took off down the hallways once more.
(Song ends)

Armory Room Exterior
Echidnamon and Dagonmon couldn't believe the sight before them. "Holy shit...the entire room and everything in it have been fried to nothingness." muttered Dagonmon...both of them element wise weren't exactly keen around fire based digimon, Belialmon's fire was impressive to say the least. "Belialmon you ok, we need to find that stupid brat before he gets out of here!" Belialmon slowly rose to his feet.
"I'm fine, let's go find him." he said shocking them with his now normal tone of voice.
"Am I missing something here?" asked Dagonmon.
"I think it's better we just go along and don't ask..." muttered Echidnamon as they followed thier partner out of the room and wherever Ken currently was.

Castle Lab 2
Arresterdramon kicked down the door to a lab like room with several small computers and a large computer with a big screen attached to one of the walls and a tube in one of the corners, upon entering Raidramon quickly scared off the ShadowDatamon's present. "What the heck is this place?" wondered Ken looking around.
"It's a lab obviously, but not the one we're looking for." said Raidramon, Arresterdramon nodded while pointing to a number two on the nearby wall.
"Guess he's got multiple labs set up in here, and..." he stopped when Ken walked over to the main computer and began typing in data. "What are you doing?" a map soon appeared on the screen.
"Finding us a way out of here..." he said scanning over the map. "I see, so the portal we're looking for is in the...loading bay? Why there?" he wondered before hearing a gasp of shock, he, Raidramon and Arresterdramon all turned and saw Sorcermon had a scared look on his face. "What's wrong?" he asked.
"That can't be!" Sorcermon pointed into the tube, upon closer inspection a digimon was inside of it, a child wearing white robes with blond hair and angel like wings, Ken's eyes widened when he saw this.
"Lucemon! Why on earth would he be here?" Ken wondered, as he looked over the sleeping demon lord, what else got his attention was a nearby clipboard indicating where the demon had been taken from. "YYDM-01..." Ken paled. "Oh god...he's from their world..." taking up his Digivice B.A.X. he sighed while forming a capture ring around the demon shocking his three digimon. "We ain't leaving him here, I don't know why he was locked up and I don't want to know either...but it's better than letting GranDracmon power him up and sicking him on sis." he said remounting Raidramon along with Sorcermon who wasn't sure of this.
"Are really ok with carrying a demon around." Ken shrugged.
"Astamon can handle him if he wakes up." he replied. "We need to pass through lab five before we can get to the loading bay, let's do it!" with that they tore out of the room quickly...
Shortly thereafter Andes entered and upon seeing that Lucemon was gone became paniced. "Oh boy, father isn't going to like this at all..." she muttered.

Throne Room
"HE WHAT!" Grandracmon roared upon getting his daughter's mental report... "Screw playing sports with his bones, i'll grind them up to feast on them! DO NOT LET HIM LEAVE THIS CASTLE ALI..." another explosion occured. "What now..." he wondered, Echidnamon sent him a telepathic message that made him palm his face.
"So now Belphemon's loose as well...Kill him...just kill him...and that boy just pissed me off for the last time!" GranDracmon said getting up and stomping off towards the loading bay.

Castle Hallways
"Geez, looks like someone didn't get enough sleep!" said Dagonmon as he and Belialmon dodged the rampaging beasts attacks.
"If i'm not mistaken I believe he was under the control of a human called Kurata, can you blame him for his shattered pride?" she asked, Belialmon didn't care.
"The only thing getting shattered is him." he said calmly as he formed a battle axe and walked up to the beast, Dagonmon and Echidnamon turned away...they didn't want to know or see what he was about to do...
xxxxx
Loading Bay
"Alright we made it!" said Ken as Raidramon ran into the big open room, opposite of them was the portal machine they needed to get the hell out of there, he quickly got off of Raidramon before returning Sorcermon back into his digivice, but before returning Arresterdramon, the digimon shook his head.
"Are you sure waking up that giant black demon digimon was a good idea?" he asked as they heard sounds of rumbling in the castle, however Raidramon noticed something else as well.
"Ken over there..." Ken looked over a railing and saw rows upon rows of BlackVictoryGreymon's making him sweatdrop.
"Tai is gonna be pissed if he sees this..." he muttered, as a stomping noise was heard. "Oh shit, I think the big guy's..." he stopped when GranDracmon busted into the room not carring about the walls. "Planning on remodling the place?" Ken asked sarcastically, GranDracmon snarled while smiling in a pissed off mannor.
"Sure why not, your blood will be the cement that holds the bricks together!" Dagonmon entered the room as well. "Where are the other two?" he demanded.
"Echidnamon's taking Belialmon to be healed, apparently he got too tired fighting and..." he was cut off when Ken fired off one of the stolen Beelzemon guns at his right eye. "AGH SHIT DAMN!"
"Diplomacy is not my strong point." he said narrowing his eyes at GranDracmon knowing that he was backed into a corner, weakened from using his ascendant form there wasn't much they could do, until his Digivice lit up and Deckerdramon came charging out of it crashing into the demon lord.
"Ken, get out of here, i'll hold him off." he glared at Arresterdramon who took this as a sign to activate the portal machine, he quickly did so before vanishing back into Ken's digivice, Ken and Raidramon however were reluctant to leave.
"You can't be serious, your no match for him on your own!" Ken demanded. Don't make me go through this again, I had to sit through losing Grey, and almost lost him again, please don't take another digimon I care for away from me!
"It's not up for discussion, now go!" Deckerdramon whapped both him and Raidramon with his tail sending them flying into the open portal which closed after they flew inside, GranDracmon and Dagonmon were both recovered by now however.
"My lord shall I?" GranDracmon held up his hand.
"No I am going to make an example of this one, attack me with everything you've got digimon!" he yelled out.
"With pleasure, Deckerdra-launcher!" he yelled out unleashing several missiles which impacted against GranDracmon, but he wasn't phased at all by them.
"That all, my turn then. Death Scream!" the two mouths on his forlegs unleashed a powerful shockwave that overtook Deckerdramon hard, however to GranDracmon's suprise he was still alive.
"You can't win, if you strike me down then my tamer will become more powerful than you can dare..."he was cut off when he exploded, GranDracmon shook his head while holding up his hands which flowed with dark energy.
"We ain't playing that game." he said as he watched Deckerdramon's data float in the air. "But I know another one we can play for fun...demonic revenge kind of fun." he said grinning before laughing, leaving Dagonmon confused.

Nexus of Time and Space
Floating inbetween the worlds without a fulcrum Ken felt a sharp pain peirce his heart, he knew that Deckerdramon had indeed been taken down, Raidramon was having trouble holding onto his form and Ken quickly withdrew him. "Not again...Why do I keep losing those I care for...It's gotta stop...gotta...stop...so...cold..." Ken passed out and floated along in the stream of time, not knowing that he was floating towards a ball of light in the distance...

Ken is back in his own digital world, meeting with tribes that have been defeated by GranDracmon's forces, he must find a way to overcome and beat Belialmon who is now more focused than ever.
