A/N: I have wanted to right these "Death General" chapters for such a long time now, so I hope they turn out to be as amazing as I pictured them in my head!
"The Digital World has fallen. Grademon is dead. The Death Generals are coming…" and with that, Wisemon fell over face-down on the ground unconscious. Everyone stared at the comatose Digimon in shock, not sure of what to think about what he had just said.
"Tomoya…who is that?" Gallantmon asked, perplexed.
"His name is Wisemon, and – as his name would suggest – he is quite possibly the smartest Digimon I've ever met," Tomoya said.
"What does he mean by 'the Digital World has fallen'? How can an entire world 'fall'?" Nate asked.
"I presume he means fallen to mean 'been destroyed', or something of the sort," Theo suggested. "Until he wakes up, we can never know for sure."
"MarineAngemon, do your thing," Kenta ordered as his Digimon used his Kahuna Waves attack to heal Wisemon and wake him up.
"Wisemon! Can you hear me? Are you ok?" Mistymon asked, holding the weary Ultimate's head up.
"Digidestined…I'm glad I was able to find you…" Wisemon groaned. "Did I tell you…my message?"
"'The Digital World has fallen. Grademon is dead. The Death Generals are coming.' Is that what you're talking about?" Mistymon asked, noticing that Wisemon cringed when he said Death Generals. "Wisemon, what is going on? Who attacked you? Where are Sanzomon and…and Grademon?"
"Grademon is dead. He was murdered in an attempt to protect Sanzomon and me from the Death Generals…I think…"
"You think? So you don't know for sure if he's dead or not?" Theo inquired.
"I didn't see his data become deleted or absorbed, but he picked a fight with the Death Generals; I would be astonished if he got away alive, skilled though he might be," Wisemon said, trying to stand up with help from Mistymon.
"Who are the Death Generals?" Tomoya asked, and Wisemon gave him the most flabbergasted look he could give with only two glowing, yellow eyes.
"How could you possibly not know who the Death Generals are?! They are the seven strongest Digimon in the Digital World, and perhaps the most evil, too!" Mistymon and Tomoya stared at each other.
"Seven Digimon?" Tomoya stammered.
"This must've been what Calumon meant by 'beware the seven…'" Mistymon said, shaking his head. "But why would my Digi-Egg say something like that when I have no knowledge or memory of who they are?"
"One more thing…" Wisemon added. "The Digital World is now completely in their control; it is now in ruins, with their own individual armies running their General's section when the Generals are away."
"Well, we'll just have to fight one last time to protect the Digital World!" Tomoya declared.
"Are you insane?! One of those Death Generals is strong enough to hold off three GranDracmon! Without Miss Sanzomon to help us, I highly doubt we have any chance of winning," Wisemon lamented.
"Wisemon, where is Sanzomon?" Mia asked, and the Ultimate just shook his head.
"I haven't the slightest idea…she was taken off by the strongest of the Death Generals after she ordered me to warn you about the Death Generals. Also, speaking of Sanzomon," Wisemon reached into his book, which had shrunk to the about the size of a dictionary, and pulled out a red lock. "Shortly before the Death Generals invaded, she witnessed…the incident with DexDynasmon, and told me to give this to you, Tomoya."
"Is that…my lock?" Tomoya asked in disbelief, and Wisemon nodded.
"Wisemon, do you mind telling us exactly what these locks do? I've tried putting my key in it, but it won't turn no matter how hard I try!" Nate said.
"To be perfectly honest…Sanzomon never told me about them; she said you would figure it out when the time comes." Wisemon looked up into the sky, at the portal to the Digital World MegaGargomon created, and suddenly gasped. "T – The Death Generals! They're coming!" Everyone looked up into the portal to see six shining specks, and seconds later, they shot six rays of light onto Earth, around the group, and inside the rays, five enormous Digimon and one small Digimon stood looking down at Digimon and human alike.
"See? SEE?! I TOLD you he would come here to warn those humans!" a human-like Digimon said.
"Ok, Splashmon, you were right for once in your life, you wanker; if you work hard enough, it just might happen again," a red, dragon-like Digimon said.
"And just what is that supposed to mean?! I found Zephyrmon, did I not?!" Splashmon shouted.
"Yeah, AND you lost her!" the smallest of the Digimon retorted.
"Yeah, that's the last time we ever allow YOU to do something like that for us!" a Digimon covered in gold armor laughed.
"Enough of this; we are here to fulfill our mission, not squabble like a crowd of morons," a tall Digimon in dark armor said in a monotone voice. "Digidestined, allow me to apologize on behalf of my subordinates for wasting your precious time; you see, our mission is to –"
"Oh, don't go talking as if you're our boss!" the final Digimon, a tall human-like Digimon with long arms, snapped. "You're almost as bad as Splashmon in that regard, and that is definitely saying something!"
"You guys, for the last time, Zephyrmon's escape was NOT MY FAULT!" Splashmon shouted.
"Splashmon, just shut up; at least NeoVamdemon is trustworthy and capable of completing simple tasks!" the long-armed Digimon replied.
"Whatever, I'll do the talking; we don't have all eternity!" the dragon Digimon barked. "My name is Dorbickmon, leader of the Fire-fury Army. The Digimon in black armor you see before you is NeoVamdemon, leader of the Moon-light army."
"I am thoroughly looking forward to the moment when I can see how the moonlight looks while reflected in your spilt blood," NeoVamdemon said emotionlessly.
"I'm Zamielmon, leader of the Wood-spirit Army!" the small Digimon exclaimed enthusiastically. "Don't let my small size fool you; I'm a trigger-happy marksman!"
"I'm Splashmon, obviously, leader of the Water-tiger Army," Splashmon said dully. "Please, try to ignore what my subordinates say about me; in actuality, I am a skilled tactician!"
"Oh, how we would love to see that side of you for once!" the golden-armored Digimon jested. "Greetings, humans; I am Olegmon, leader of the Gold-thief Army!"
"And I am Gravimon, leader of the Earth-god Army," the long-armed Digimon said. "As we have all recently succeeded in claiming the Digital World, naturally, there are Digidestined who wish to thwart us. That is where our mission comes in."
"You beat around the bush too much, Gravimon!" Dorbickmon roared. "We just want to bloody kill you all, Digidestined!" Dorbickmon eyed Gallantmon with interest. "So, you must be Gallantmon, the bloke who lead the other Digidestined in the skirmish against the D-Reaper, aren't you?"
"So what if I am?" Gallantmon replied.
"Fusion between Digimon and human partner; I am interested in seeing how you fare whilst in a brawl. Care to find out?" Dorbickmon asked. Gallantmon said nothing as his right arm transformed into a lance, which he pointed at Dorbickmon.
"Takato, don't do it!" Justimon warned.
"These guys are way too powerful!" MegaGargomon shouted.
"I like your response, Gallantmon! Now, fight me; Dragon Breath-tonic Fire!"
"Lightning Joust!" Gallantmon's lance dispatched a strong blast of lightning which cut through Dorbickmon's flames and struck him in the face, forcing him to fall backward on the ground. "What were you saying about them being too powerful, MegaGargomon?"
"Just as I expected, you are – without a doubt – the strongest and perhaps the most dangerous of the veteran fighters here," Dorbickmon said, standing back up.
"And you guys thought I was useless; that guy couldn't even tolerate a single strike from Gallantmon!" Splashmon laughed.
"Perhaps…he is weaker in combat than you are, Splashmon, but he is far superior to you in terms of strategy," NeoVamdemon said. Olegmon and Zamielmon laughed at Splashmon as his face turned dark red with anger.
"Guys, could we just get our mission over with?" Gravimon asked.
"No; I suggest we retreat," Dorbickmon said.
"Why? You aren't afraid of dying, are you?" Splashmon jeered.
"We may need them to be destroyed, but why don't we let them bring the fight to us in the Digital World?" Dorbickmon suggested, earning him confused looks from the other Generals. "Look, there isn't any possible way for them to destroy us, right? Why don't we have a little fun with our strength? Have them come to our individual territories and have them fight us there?"
Strange…it's not like Dorbickmon to suggest something like this, but I suppose he must have a good reason to do so. "I suppose that would work; so long as our mission is completed, I don't think our leader cares how it's completed," NeoVamdemon said.
"Your leader," Wisemon said to himself. "That's right; where is the seventh Death General! Where is Apollomon?!"
"Apollomon?!" Lunamon gasped.
"Hell if we know," Olegmon grunted. "That fool never tells us where he's off to; just gives us orders, and then goes off on his own to who knows where!"
"If it weren't for the fact that he could easily annihilate all six of us in a single attack, we wouldn't follow a guy like that," Gravimon said.
"Anyway, I'm liking what Dorbickmon said about having them bring the fight to us, but I don't think that in itself is enough," Zamielmon said. "How about if we give them a time limit? If any of us are still alive after – say, 25 days – then we all come back here and begin our takeover of this place like the six of us really wanted?"
"That's one of the best ideas I've heard since that cocky young Digimon told Splashmon to suck his –"
"ENOUGH! STOP MAKING A FOOL OUT OF ME!" Splashmon roared.
"Then stop acting like one and go find Zephyrmon for us," Dorbickmon sighed. "Anyway, Digidestined; I look forward to seeing the lot of you soon. Don't worry; there's a lot more room to fight in our individual territories. Especially you, Gallantmon." Dorbickmon leaped and jumped through the portal back to the Digital World, as did the other five Generals.
"Dad…what are we supposed to do?" Tomoya asked.
"We do what they said; we bring the fight to them," Gallantmon replied. "I'll go with you and your friends; the rest of you should stay behind in case they decide to come back."
"I'd like to accompany you; after all, I know more about the Death Generals than you," Wisemon offered, and Gallantmon nodded.
"Will you be ok with just you guys?" Beelzemon asked.
"Of course, I'd like it if all of us could go, but then this world would be defenseless; we can't let this place become overrun with evil Digimon like those Death Generals," Gallantmon declared. "Keep Jeri safe for me, Beelzemon." Gallantmon, Wisemon, Tomoya, and his friends stepped into the portal with their Digimon, and returned once again to the Digital World.
"Those IDIOTS! They think they can get away with insulting ME?!" Splashmon fumed, stomping through a building in his kingdom. "Although, if I had told them I had succeeded, I would have had to share my prize." Splashmon smirked when he finally came across the door to a prison cell. "And boy, what a shame it would have been to share you…Zephyrmon!" Splashmon entered the cell and closed the door behind him – although, this was hardly necessary, as Zephyrmon's ankles and wrists were chained to the brick wall behind her. The Death General placed his hand under Zephyrmon's chin and lifted her head up so as to look her in the eyes. "I do hope you have been finding your accommodations to be…most satisfactory, my dear Zephyrmon. It would be a shame to see you unhappy." Zephyrmon said nothing, and Splashmon chuckled. "I'm glad you've been enjoying yourself, then; and soon, your simpleton human friends will be joining you; I do wonder if they'll last long with only a single slice of bread and a small cup of water once per day? Well, I'm afraid the two of us must wait for that to happen, but soon, the Seven Death Generals will have taken over both the Digital AND Human Worlds!" Splashmon began to laugh evilly.
"Gloat while you can…" Zephyrmon said weakly.
"What was that?!" Splashmon snapped.
"Gloat while you can…soon, the Digidestined will come back to save the Digital World, and destroy you Death Generals!" With that, Splashmon slapped Zephyrmon across the face.
"If you plan on seeing your human friends again, you'll develop a different attitude!" Splashmon shouted as he left the cell, slamming the door as hard as he could.
A/N: Yes, Dorbickmon is British…What?! It's legal!
