A/N: I apologize for not having updated my story for a long time, I recently bought Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, and have been rather addicted to that. I promise I will NEVER stop writing this story or anything of the sort. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!

"Chuumon, as much as I regret having to do this to you, I'm going to have to pair you up with PlatinumSukamon to make sure everything goes according to plan," Astamon said. The Digimon were standing atop a tall building, taller than the Hypnos building, and had just witnessed BlueMeramon's death.

"Sukamon?! With all due respect, My Lord, why would you pair me with that incompetent nitwit?!" Chuumon asked angrily.

"Hey, come on!" PlatinumSukamon said defensively. "I'm not that…uh…" Sukamon scratched the top of his head, struggling to remember what he was about to say.

"Dumb?!" Chuumon snapped.

"Yeah, that's what I am!" PlatinumSukamon said happily, and then frowned about twenty seconds later. "Wait, I don't think that's what I meant to say…"

"Lord Astamon, this moron can't even remember his own name! How could you have even considered bringing this…thing with us?!" Chuumon asked.

"Believe me, Chuumon, under normal circumstances, I would not have brought a Digimon like him with us," Astamon said with a sigh. "But this PlatinumSukamon in particular is exceptionally powerful; I saw him take out my Devidramon in a single attack. If you had seen that, you'd be able to look past his unbelievable stupidity."

"But I didn't see that, master; you were the only one who did," Chuumon said.

"You'll just have to take my word for it, then; trust me when I say that PlatinumSukamon is a great addition to my – I mean, our – army. Or perhaps, do you not trust me? The Digimon that has saved your life and made you what you are today?"

"Of course I trust you, Lord Astamon!" Chuumon said quickly. "It's PlatinumSukamon that I have doubts in! But if it is what you wish, then I shall do it, sir."

"You may need to tell me what to do again," PlatinumSukamon said.

"Very well," Astamon said with a sigh. "You and Chuumon are to pretend to be allies of the first wretched Digidestined you see by attacking a Digimon I send to attack them. When you've earned their trust, find out everything they know about the whereabouts of Yuggoth and Shibumi, and report back to me when you discover their locations. Understand?"

"Uh…yeah?"

"Don't worry, sir; I'll make sure he doesn't screw anything up," Chuumon said.

"Excellent…now, how about trying to befriend those humans over there?" Astamon asked, pointing at Mia and Nate, who were walking near the park, about two miles away.

"Which ones? I can't see very far," Chuumon said, looking at where Astamon had pointed.

"The humans will be with a Salamon and an Agumon. I'll send Devidramon to follow you so you can attack at the right time. Do you understand, PlatinumSukamon? Attack Devidramon when he attacks humans."

"Yeah, I got it!" PlatinumSukamon said happily. Chuumon groaned, knowing that the Champion Digimon had already forgotten what he had just been told as he jumped on top of PlatinumSukamon's head as he made his way to the exit of the building's roof (having three times walked into a wall along the way.)

"Devidramon, are you ready?" Astamon asked as the giant dragon landed behind him on the building.

"I can't believe that little runt is going to make a fool out of me again! And this time it's on purpose," Devidramon said bitterly. "If JewelBeemon ever finds out about this…"

"Perhaps you would like to resign from this army? There is a very easy way for me to make that happen," Astamon said, pointing his machine gun at the Champion.

"No, no; I never said anything of the sort! I just hate that the little idiot's going to-"

"Enough of your whining, Devidramon; it hardly suits a Digimon like you. Just shut up and do your job, ok?"

"Yes, My Lord!" Devidramon said, taking flight as he headed in the direction of Mia and Nate.

"Nate, are you sure it's a good idea that we split up?" Mia asked nervously.

"What do you mean?" Nate asked.

"Well, I understand that if we split up, it might be easier to search for whatever those Digimon are looking for, or at least the Digimon in the army, but what if we run into a Digimon that Darcmon and MetalTyrannomon can't beat, like a Mega-level Digimon or something?"

"Hey, don't doubt me like that!" Agumon shouted angrily. "Did you not see me beat up that Gryphonmon back in the Digital World?!"

"Well, actually, it was Mistymon that-"

"No, it was me! All me! I did it!" Agumon said stubbornly.

"Don't worry, Mia; we'll be fine," Salamon said. "We can prove it to you, if you'd like; there's a Digimon coming this way!"

"All right! Let me at it!" Agumon shouted excitedly.

"Go for it, buddy!" Nate said, pointing his key at Agumon.

"Agumon warp Digivolve to, MetalTyrannomon!"

The Digimon got closer and closer until Nate could see that it was a Devidramon.

"Don't let your guard down, MetalTyrannomon; Devidramon can hypnotize you with its eyes," Nate said as the Dark Dragon landed in front of MetalTyrannomon.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine! Giga Destroyer II!"

"Crimson Claw!" the Devidramon easily avoided MetalTyrannomon's attack before attacking him with his gigantic claws, making MetalTyrannomon fall over onto his back.

"Don't look into his eyes!" Nate shouted as his Digimon partner got back up, but it was too late; as soon as the Ultimate got back up, Devidramon looked him dead in the eyes.

"Crimson Claw!" Devidramon raked his claws across MetalTyrannomon's face several more times before he fell over again.

"MetalTyrannomon, are you ok?" Nate hollered.

"Salamon, help him out!" Mia said as her Digivice began to glow.

"Salamon Digivolve to, Darcmon! Dancing Sword!" Darcmon slashed Devidramon across the face with her sword, making him roar in pain. The tip of Devidramon's tail opened up, taking the shape of a claw which he slammed onto Darcmon, pinning her against a tree.

Why are those two taking so long to get here?! If I try to stall for time any longer, they might get suspicious when that idiot arrives… Devidramon thought, and just then, PlatinumSukamon had finally arrived, tackling Devidramon in the chest, making him fall over. The Devidramon then flew off without another word.

"Hey, are you two ok?" Chuumon asked, walking up to the two Digimon.

"Why did you save us?" Nate asked.

"What do you mean? We just didn't want to see anyone get hurt," Chuumon said.

"Aren't you a part of Astamon's army?" Mia asked.

"No way! We could never serve such a cruel tyrant!" Chuumon shouted. Sorry, Astamon…

"He forced us to come here by saying he'd kill us if we didn't come with him," PlatinumSukamon said, shocking Chuumon.

"Yeah…but, if we stay with you Digidestined, we'll be safe no matter what!" Chuumon exclaimed. "If it's not too much trouble, that is."

"Of course it isn't! We saw the way your friend tackled that dragon; we'd be happy to get all the help we can get for defeating Astamon!" Nate said.

"What are you talking about? I'm plenty strong enough to defeat that freak all on my own!" MetalTyrannomon shouted as he and Darcmon returned to their Rookie levels.

"Don't pay any attention to him; we'd be more than happy to protect you two," Mia said.

A/N: More coming soon, hopefully.
