New GrimmFall story! We have an interesting prologue too.

D.N Works: Oh, they will~! :3

GCD: Rest assured, Zero Squad had no choice but to give up the gem, lest they be found out and possibly killed. As for the weapon thing, well, the unit has to answer to the Secretary General of the United Earth Nations in their universe, and the man will put a stop to this idea of a weapon.

merendinoemiliano: Yes, it is. :3

nightmaster000: Yes, I know all that, and don't worry, Cree will take developing path of redemption, not in one or two chapters. And trust me, Zero Squadron will learn just how hard it is to destroy a Fallen. They can attempt to develop such a weapon yes, but that doesn't mean it will succeed, now does it? ;3

Lord Maximus: Don't worry, all will be answered in this fic for sure. :3

Zero Squadron sat gathered around the main briefing room's chairs, etc. as they waited for Heero to enter. The commander of the unit had called for an emergency meeting after something had been picked up on the Constitution's sensors, and thus they were all gathered here now.

Leo turned as the door hissed open, revealing Admiral Yuy in his full flight suit, helmet in hand. His brown hair was not covered by the 'Snoopy Cap', as Leo had learned it was called, either; that was inside the helmet he held in his hand. Everyone, save for Leo, saluted the admiral as he walked over to the main monitor. "At ease."

As soon as the unit's members dropped the salute, Heero turned to the monitor, which showed the outside of the ship they were on. There were several crew members of the ship milling around outside to put up the façade they were still at the dig site. "Now, as you all know, the sensors on the Constitution here picked up a strange energy signature outside the radius of the dig site." Heero began as he turned back to his team. "What's more, this energy signature is not human, nor is it alive in the normal sense."

"How would you describe it as alive then?" Yzak grunted.

"Think of that black ooze back in our universe that somehow hitched a ride on the Archangel the first time we fought that Sea Fei Long Grimm." Heero replied.

Yzak's face paled a bit at remembering that. "You mean...?"

"Yes. The ship's sensors have picked up a Grimm lurking about." Heero confirmed. "But what's odd is that we can't find it. All that we know is that it is there."

Leo frowned at hearing that. "It sounds like it might be a Seer Grimm."

"'Seer Grimm'?" The whole unit asked as one, Heero included.

"Yes." Leo replied. "A Grimm that can act as a camera, surveillance drone, or communications source for Sammael."

That information sent chills and feelings of dread through the room.

Commander la Flaga then looked at the Mobain with them. "I have a question." Leo looked back at him as the human continued to speak. "Would one of those Seer things be able to pick up Newtype brainwaves if one of us tried to track it down that way?"

The turtle Mobian shook his head. "I wouldn't risk it. The Seer has sensors of its own, but they are not the regular sensors you guys might be used to using. Who knows what those can pick up?"

Mu frowned, but had to admit that was a valid point. "Good point..."

Heero then looked back at Leo. "Leonardo? I think this would be a good time to show us how to take out a Seer."

Leo blinked, but nodded. "You got it."

Sammael's lair

Sammael watched as the 'archaeologists' went about their dig, but what really drew his interest was the large tent that sat outside the dig's boundaries. There was just something about the way it was set up that felt off to him, like someone was trying to hide something... 'Heh... Trying to outsmart me? I can see they have some kind of transport hidden there.'

However, what that transport was, he didn't know. Then again, when one lived as long as he did, there was no doubt that one would pick up methods of seeing things that were obviously hidden. 'There is most likely a truck of some kind in that tent.'

Sammael gave direction to his Seer to creep closer to the large tent that sat before it. The Seer drifted over and floated into the open back, catching sight of a large truck indeed. It was ready to receive any artifacts that were there, and that interested him. 'So, it seems these guys have their own plans, and it involves whatever is in these ruins.' Sammael mused to himself.

His Seer drifted closer to one of the trucks, trying to get a look at it fully. Sammael could see it looked somewhat sleeker than the trucks he was used to seeing, likely that they were more advanced. There were no exhaust pipes on these trucks either, at least from what he could see anyway.

That alone made Sammael wonder if these guys were from another universe, one that he had not yet discovered.

Suddenly, there was a flash of silver, and then the Seer's images cut out. Sammael frowned at that as his Seer was carved up, leaving nothing of the Grimm behind. "So they had someone waiting to take out the Seer... Very clever if not sneaky." A smirk crossed his face at that point. "Well, then we can see how well these so-called archaeologists play the long game."

Ruins

Leonardo landed as the Seer dissipated into black smoke. Behind him, Heero and Athrun stood back as they watched the Seer's demise.

"So that's a Seer?" Athrun asked as Leo gave a nod to the human.

"Yeah." Leo replied. "And as you can see, this is what they look like."

Sure enough, the Seer has tentacles that were all around it, and it looked nothing like an animal. Heero frowned as he took in its form before it vanished into wisps of black smoke. The thing had disturbed him a bit, which was saying something to say the least.

"Was that thing observing us?" Athrun asked. Leo frowned as he heard that.

"It is most likely it was, yes." Leo confirmed, making Athrun groan.

"Great...so much for us remaining on the down low..." The blue-haired Admiral replied.

Heero then looked back at Leo. "What do you think the odds of Sammael finding out about us are?"

"My guess is that he knows something is off with you guys, that you are not normal archaeologists, but that is all I can guess. I don't really know, as I am not a Fallen, nor am I under his command." The turtle Mobian replied with a shrug.

"Very well. We will have to expand the sensor perimeter as well as set up a sniper, or at the very least have you help take out the Seers, Leonardo." Heero said as he looked at the Mobian. "You think you can help us with that?"

Leo blinked in surprise, not sure what to make of these guys asking him for help. But then he remembered they were not from this universe, and as such, lacked the abilities of the natives of his home universe. Leo looked back at Heero after a moment of consideration and nodded. "Yes. I believe I can."

Heero gave a nod as Athrun sighed and shook his head. Things were definitely getting interesting it seemed.

O-000

Secretary General Brian Willis, leader of the United Earth Nations, or UEN, was looking over information that was being sent back by the Constitution, and so far, all of it seemed to be dire indeed. It seemed that this Sammael had come across Zero Squad and was now looking to find out what he could about them, even if they were supposed to be mere archeologists to him.

'This is worrisome.' The secretary general mused to himself. 'If this Sammael finds out Zero Squad is not who they say they are, then there is a chance he could find out where they are from, and by extension, us. That means our dimensional travel capabilities will be exposed. We have to tread very carefully right now.'

Looking back at what he knew was a separate file, Secretary General Willis reached for it and opened it up. Inside sat a specific set of commands, one of which had words on it that were only meant for his eyes. He reached out and picked up the order, reading it over as he did so. It was one only he could give, and it was what held back Zero Squad's true abilities. Standing up, Secretary General Willis got up from his seat and walked over to the windows, which showed the dank, drab sky outside as the rain lightly fell on the outline of New York City. In his left hand, hanging limply, were the orders that said "Magnum Command"...

GF-007

Back at the ruins, Heero was working on digging out what looked to be an old sarcophagus, one that was from this Forgotten Age if what Leo had told them was right. He brushed away some of the dirt and dust that was on it using a small brush, only to find some old pictographs on the side and lid, most likely spelling out the name of the occupant. He looked over at Nicol and waved him over. "We need a translation here."

Looking back at the admiral, the green-haired pilot ran over with the translator in hand. He held it up and the beam scanned the pictographs, only for the computer program to start deciphering the old language into modern English and Cybertronian. Nicol frowned as he read over the symbols and words that came up. "It says 'Here lies the Great King Ozric, the last of the Emperors of our people. May he forever rest knowing the future will be better for generations yet to come.'"

Heero frowned as well as he heard Nicol read the translation. "Hmm... It would seem this is the leader of a long-lost civilization then..." He put a hand to his chin in thought.

Leonardo came over, having heard what Nicol had been reading off. "What have you found?"

"We believe we found the remains of the leader of the civilization that once ran this place." Nicol informed the Mobian.

Looking at the translation on the screen of the translator, Leo was surprised to see it was indeed what Nicol had told him it was. "That's odd."

"Why is it odd?" Nicol asked.

"I mean it's odd that the leader of an entire civilization was buried here at an old base instead of in a lavish tomb that would hold all sorts of treasures that were signs of his wealth." Leo explained.

Heero frowned at hearing that. It was odd he had to admit, but then again, there had to be a reason for it, and he had an inkling of what that was. "Maybe they couldn't because of some kind of war, if what the pictographs tell us is true."

Leo looked back at Heero. "So you're going off of what you are seeing for that assumption then?"

"I am." The Enhanced human replied before something set off his sense for danger, as his SEED reacted with that sharp, searing pain in his head. Heero grunted as he felt that pain, his hand flying to his head as he gripped at it to try and ease the pain. Looking around, Leonardo could see the rest of Zero Squad was reacting in similar ways, with the SEED users all holding their heads while the lone SEED-type was doing the same thing, but not as tightly. The resident Newtypes were all alert and looking around for something that was unseen by all but them. Leo looked back at the SEED users again, only for Admiral Zala to regain his bearings first.

"There's something here..." Athrun panted as Leo looked confused.

"How do you know that?" The turtle Mobian asked as the Coordinator looked back at him.

"Our SEEDs. They react to danger through a...sharp spasm of pain. It's...under investigation back in our universe, but we assume that it's because of the fact that the SEED is the opposite of Newtype abilities. Rather than alerting through a sense that can detect danger on a more spiritual level, this is of a more...physical level of alertness." Athrun explained as best he could. "It's like a rudimentary form of Newtype sensing abilities."

Now Leo understood. "So what were you sensing?"

"Someone or something is here, watching us." Athrun growled as he looked around, his hand flying for his handgun he carried on his hip. Leo looked around as well, drawing his katana swords from their sheaths as he did so. Things were tense for a bit before a shimmering made the entire unit look back at the sarcophagus, where the shimmer was coming from. What looked like a tear in dimensional space became visible and all present tensed up. But what came out was not a Grimm, Faunus, Mobian, or even a Fallen. No, it was a man with a long grey beard and hair, what looked like wizard robes, glasses, and hat on, and in his hands was a tall staff. Athrun pulled his sidearm, as did the rest of the unit while Leo got into a stance for attack. Heero, also with his sidearm out, spoke first. "Identify yourself!"

The man merely smiled at the elite unit before him, despite facing down several guns and two sharp swords. "I believe you know of me, Admiral Heero Yuy of Zero Squadron, for I was the one who sent you that note about the attack on the colony in your dimension."

Heero's eyes narrowed dangerously as he clicked the safety on his handgun off. "I will not warn you again! Identify yourself!"

"I am merely here to see how things fare, not to engage in a fight." The mysterious man said with a knowing smile. "My name is of no importance to you or your unit." His deep voice seemed to be mocking Heero and that made the admiral mad, madder than he could recall.

"So you think we don't matter here?" Heero growled, feeling like he was being jilted out of the position he felt comfortable in when it came to his unit's reputation. Yes, he took certain pride in his unit and their ability to handle whatever came their way, but to be told that the name of someone who was unknown was of no importance to them felt...wrong somehow.

"No, I don't think that at all." The mysterious man said with that same smile. "In fact, your presence here is very vital to the future of this world. You are one of the keys that can help bring it forth."

Heero's eyes widened at hearing that. "We are one of the keys?" He murmured before he regained some sense of himself and aimed his gun again. "And how are we one of these keys?"

"That will be revealed in due time, Admiral." The man assured Heero. "But until then, it is best you seek one of the Spiral Gems, namely the Gem of Destruction. The one you gave to Sammael was a False Gem, and he knows it too. If he gets his hands on the real one, then many will suffer, far more than what you have seen."

"Why do we have to seek the Gem of Destruction?" Liz asked with a hiss to her voice. "It's not like we can use it!"

The mysterious man glanced at her and smirked at seeing the amulet around her neck. "You have one of the keys to seek it on you."

Liz blinked before looking down at the amulet. "Wha…?"

"Use that and seek the Gem of Destruction, lest Sammael get his hands on and use its power for evil." The man said sternly before the shimmer opened up again and he stepped back inside. Heero growled and ran for the shimmer with a shout, making the man look back. He held up a hand and his hand glowed before a barrier appeared in front of Heero, catching him off guard as he slammed into it, sliding down it with blood running down from his nose and mouth on the front of the barrier. The admiral grunted as he felt back from the barrier's front and landed on his butt, rubbing at his sore and bloody face. Heero glanced up, his eyes hard and almost seething with rage that was uncontained. The mystery man frowned at seeing that.

"You have a lot to learn about this world, Admiral Yuy." The mystery mage said seriously. "Not everything can be won in this world the way it was won in yours. You have to think of the impossible as being possible here, and the possible being impossible."

"Are you alright, Yuy?!" Yzak asked as he ran over, only to stop when he saw the admiral glaring at the mage in front of them all, standing before the dimensional gateway that they knew it was. The mage then stepped into the shimmer, the gateway closing behind him. Heero was still glaring at the empty space in front of the coffin, but he was no longer filled with seething rage now. No, his mind was processing what the mage had told them.

"Yuy? You okay?" Yzak asked as Heero looked back at the rear admiral.

Heero sighed at that point, feeling his rage leaving his body. "Yes, I'm fine."

"Good, because you look like a bloody mess." The silver-haired officer noted.

"What did that man mean by we have a lot to learn with this world?" Tao asked as she looked at Heero, who was now wiping the blood away from his face.

Leo frowned. "It means there is still much you don't know about this world, namely the Dark Substance."

"You mean the Black Goop?" Liz asked as Leo looked back at her.

"'Black Goop'?" The Mobian questioned.

"That's our name for the Dark Substance." Dearka replied. "It's certainly better than the name you gave it, at least for us anyway."

Leo rolled his eyes. "Anyway, yes, there is a lot that you do not know yet about the Dark Substance or Black Goop as you call it."

"But back on topic. What did that man mean by the impossible is possible and the possible is impossible?" Stella murmured. "Does that mean we can't act the way we normally do? Or does that mean we can't rely on our usual methods of operation?"

No one was sure anymore...

GrimmFall

In the Hall of Justice, Lowemon, Kazemon, and Agunimon were each training in the training room, Agunimon taking part in a spar against Valhallen while Lowemon was sparring against Kazemon. The Warrior of Flame was already forced into a predicament where he had to rely on his long-range to attack, and it was not going so well. While he was a decent sniper when staying still, it was when he was forced to move around that his shots were way off. He grunted as he fired off another round, but the shot missed Valhallen's arm by a good foot, much to his disgust. A strum from the Rock God's guitar sent lightning lancing towards Agunimon, who was forced to pull his next shot and jump back. Landing behind a wall that was on the training course, Agunimon found himself panting heavily.

'What can I do to beat him...?' Agunimon wondered as he peered out from behind the wall. 'He has way more experience than me in this...'

Vahallen's voice startled the Digimon. "Looking for me?"

Glancing up, Agunimon was surprised to see the God of Rock on top of the wall, looking down at him with a smile. "You shouldn't be too surprised to see me, you know."

A shout escaped Agunimon's throat as he aimed his rifle and fired a round at Valhallen's face, but the God pulled his head back, causing the round to hit the ceiling. Jumping down, Valhallen had his foot smack into the Warrior of Flame's face, sending Agunimon flying back and to the ground, where he rolled twice before coming to a stop on his stomach, his rifle next to him as he had lost his grip on it during his second roll across the ground.

"Did something crawl up and die?" Valhallen asked as he walked over to Agunimon, who was pushing himself to his hands and knees now, panting heavily. Sweat was visibly falling from his exposed lower face, and the Digimon felt a bit out of it.

"S-Shut up..." Agunimon rasped out before he went into a coughing fit. That alarmed Valhallen, who rushed over as Agunimon finally keeled over, almost collapsing if the Rock God didn't catch him before he could hit the ground. Holding the Digimon gently in his arms, Valhallen could see the Warrior of Flame was panting heavily, and he wasn't even aware of his surroundings anymore, as his blue eyes were shut tightly as he panted, trying to get air into his body. Worry caused the Viking God to furrow his hidden eyebrows, wondering just what it was that had Agunimon so exhausted. As it was, the fight with Crom been over for a while, so it couldn't be that. Placing a hand on Agunimon's side, Valhallen was surprised when he felt something wet and sticky. Pulling his hand away, the God of Rock saw blood coating his hand. Worried about who could have hurt the Warrior of Flame, Valhallen tried to figure it out. Or had it been somebody acting to kill him?

Kazemon and Lowemon had seen the two stop sparring, only to rush over when they both saw Agunimon collapse. Kazemon was worried as she and Lowemon reached Valhallen's side, only to gasp when she saw Valhallen's hand was covered in Agunimon's blood, as well as a slight pool of the red life-giving liquid gathering on the floor beneath the Viking God and the injured Warrior of Flame. Lowemon was worried as well, his red eyes not even hiding his feelings. "What happened?" The Warrior of Darkness asked.

Valhallen looked back at Lowemon. "It's nothing to worry about." But his tone of voice betrayed what he was really feeling.

"Valhallen, what happened? Is Agunimon okay?" Kazemon asked him now. Her worry was evident in her tone of voice.

Finally, the Viking God sighed as he looked down at the Warrior of Flame. "Agunimon seems to have been injured somehow, but I don't know how or by who."

Unbeknownst to the foursome, a retainer-wearing boy sneered as he held the poison-dipped knife in his hand.

Jimmy had finally had enough; if his hero would not appreciate him or accept his worship, then no one could be around his hero, because his hero would be dead and no one would miss him. 'If I can't have you, then no one can!' Jimmy thought as he watched the Warrior of Flame struggling to breathe.

It seemed his hero would have to die in order for others to not be around him. Jimmy hated to do it, but it was how it had to be.

Agunimon was struggling to take air into his body, which worried Valhallen and his two fellow Digimon. Lowemon looked at the Viking God. "We need to get him down to the medical wing, like now!"

"I agree with you, Lowemon." Valhallen said as he stood up, holding Agunimon in his arms. "We don't have much time."

With that said, the God of Rock hurried out of the training room, Lowemon and Kazemon right beside him.

Ruins

Heero was now sitting at the edge of the burial chamber, looking down at his hands. That man had come out of nowhere, knew who he, no they, were, and had said they still had a lot to learn about this world yet, namely the Black Goop. He frowned as he clenched his fists. 'Why are we one of the keys for this world's future? Why does that man want us to seek the Gem of Destruction? And how is it that we still have much to learn yet about this world? What is the possible situation here, and what is considered impossible? That is what we need to know.'

Looking up, the admiral knew his unit had to find their way here. So far, they had just been grasping at straws though, trying to find their purpose in a new universe that seemed to defy all known logic that they operated on. Zero Squadron had tried to hunt down Satyra's leader, but that was ruled out, trying to find out about the past had failed, and now the unit had been told they had to find the Gem of Destruction. 'It seems that when we try to find our path here, we get directed to another one and that also ends up a dead end no less.' Heero mused to himself. He then sighed as he stood up. "All Zero Squadron members sent out should be recalled back to our ship."

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked back at the admiral. "Heero… are you saying we are calling back the teams sent out to gain intelligence?" Liz asked.

"Yes, we are." Heero confirmed. "At least, two of the teams anyway. I am leaving the teams of Shinn and Chris and Akira and Flay out in the field. Mark, Luna, Kira, and Cagalli will be called back. I feel that two teams should be enough at this point."

Tao frowned at hearing that. "But why?"

"We aren't getting anywhere with what we are supposed to be doing here." Heero explained. "We have just been grasping around, trying to find our path in this universe. We grabbed at random ideas and tried to pursue them, but none have worked out. We tried to find information on Satyra, and that failed. We tried to get information from the past, it has led us nowhere. We came here to find this Black Velvet, and we got no leads."

"So you think if we regroup, we could find out just what we need to do here?" Stella asked.

Heero gave a nod. "Yes. But, as it is, if we recall all the teams, it would hinder us. With Shinn and Chris, their assignment is to look for the Dragon of Denver and find out what the Dragon actually looks like. And Akira and Flay's mission is to remain on standby in the major city, GrimmFall, here, infiltrating into the local populace. If anything, they might be able to find something yet."

Derek frowned. "So, you think we can leave the two teams out there in case we need them."

"Yes." Heero replied. "But the main issue is that we need to regroup, and if we do that, we might be able to get a hint of what it is we are supposed to do here."

Leo frowned as well. "That would be a wise idea. At least, calling back the four you need anyway."

Heero gave a nod to Leo.

"It is for the best for now..."

In Mayor Sebben's office, a man with green eyes and black hair tied back at the nape of his neck walked in, holding some papers for the mayor to read over. He walked past a secretary, who had red hair and pale blue eyes. The two made eye contact, and the man gave a nod before he opened the door to Mayor Sebben's office.

"I have the papers for you, Mayor." The man said as Mayor Sebben turned to face him.

"Ah, thank you, Alex." Mayor Sebben said with a smile as he took the papers. The man, Alex, bowed before he stood up and walked out.

Deputy Mayor Callie Briggs looked on at the man as he left. "He is a bit unusual."

"How so?" Mayor Sebben asked as he looked over the papers. "Alex is a very dedicated worker."

"Yes, but there is just this...air about him, and I don't know what it is." Deputy Mayor Briggs replied. "It's like...there is more to him than meets the eye."

Mayor Sebben gave a chuckle at hearing that. "Yes, but that is true for everyone here, isn't it?"

Deputy Mayor Briggs frowned at that, but didn't disagree, for it held some truth to it. "That's true..."

"Anyways, Alex is a fine young man, and the secretary, Fiona, is just as good a worker." Mayor Sebben said. "It was good fortune they happened to apply when I needed them the most."

'But was it?' Callie wondered to herself. 'Or did they just happen to find the flyer and appear because they planted it?' She wasn't so sure she liked Alex and Fiona, no offense to them on a personal level. But it was just something about they way they carried themselves that set her off. It was like they were...survivors of some kind. Survivors that had seen war at its worst.

She resolved to do some digging into their pasts. Maybe then she would be satisfied with her findings...

'Alex', or Akira, made his way over to 'Fiona', or Flay. "Is everything going okay for you, Fiona?"

"Yes Alexa. Things are going just fine." 'Fiona' replied. "It seems there are some files that I am having trouble accessing. Then again, I am 'new' to the systems here, so it makes sense I can't find everything I need for 'work' yet."

'Alex' gave a nod. "Well, if you 'need help', just 'ask'."

While it looked like normal office chatter, they were actually talking in an established code that only they understood. 'Fiona' knew what 'Alex' was really saying, just as he understood what she was really saying. *I can't get into the system to get data for the mission.* *Leave that to me.*

'Alex' walked over to 'Fiona's' computer and began to type away, trying to help her 'figure out' the system. It took a matter of seconds, but 'Alex' was soon able to hack into the mayor's personal mainframe. He brought up any files he saw, but none of them held much information that they could use for their mission. He frowned at seeing that. 'Seems the mayor is far more astute when it comes to his files. He seems to be aware others will want to get their hands on them. This...could pose a bit of a problem for us...'

'Alex' closed the connection to the files, making sure to mask his intrusion and exit so it was almost impossible to trace.

"I don't think I 'fixed' the issue. I'm 'sorry'." He said to 'Fiona'. *I couldn't find any files relevant for us.*

'Fiona' frowned at hearing that. "I see. Thanks anyway, Alex."

Hall of Justice

Omnimon winced as he felt his injuries from the fight on Homeworld and against Crom act up. As it was, even with his Semblance locked into its Recovery state, it was taking a while to heal. Abby was next to him, asking him questions about what he had been doing since he had left her and Nigel, things like that. And while he was able to answer some of them, his injuries made it hard to stay on task.

"Abby, just let him rest already!" Nigel exclaimed, exasperated. "I know you want to catch up, but Omnimon needs rest still."

Abby looked at Nigel. "Well, excuse me for worrying about him."

"I will be fine." Omnimon said as he looked at the two Elementals before they could argue. "I just need some more time to recover yet."

Nigel looked at Omnimon. "I still can't believe you stood up to Blue Diamond! That must have taken a real toll on you."

"I will admit, it was one of my dumber moves." Omnimon admitted. "But at the same time, it was...it was worth it, because you two are safe now."

Nigel blushed as Abby played with one of her fox ears.

However, Omnimon had a question. "However, I am wondering how you were able to unlock your Elemental powers, Abby."

Abby looked at Omnimon. "It was during a fight with a boy who wanted to 'recruit' me and Nigel for some reason. I awoke my Candy Elemental powers during that time, and...It got the attention of some unsavory people." She said at last with a sigh.

Omnimon chuckled. "That is the price of power. Others will want to use you for their own gain." He then had a thought. 'Is that why Sammael wanted to have me go with, so I could be eliminated? Or was he using my power for his own gain?' The Royal Knight shook his head. Now was not the time to dwell on such facts.

Abby looked like she wanted to do something, but was unsure of what he would think. "Um... Omni..."

"What is it?" Omnimon asked, confused now.

"Um... Well, I was wondering if... Well..." Abby was unsure of how to say it, but Nigel said it for her.

"For bloody sake, just say it Abby!" Nigel exclaimed. "If you won't I will." He then faced Omnimon. "She wants to know what she can do to thank you for taking the chance to try and rescue us."

Omnimon looked at Abby. "There is need to thank me in any way. I was just doing my job, not just as a Royal Knight, but as a friend to you."

"But I insist!" Abby exclaimed. "I mean, you risked your life, many times! Not just against Crom, but also against Gentleman Jim, and Blue Diamond as well!"

The Digimon shook his head. "No. I do not want thanks. As I said, I was just doing what I could do as a friend, nothing more."

Abby frowned, but she could see Omnimon was insistent that there was no need to thank him with a gift. "Okay..."

Omnimon then winced as he felt one of his injuries twinge again. "Celestials above... Maybe taking on that many strong opponents in such a short amount of time was a bad idea..."

Nigel blinked in confusion as Abby snickered. It would seem he would be fine indeed.

Unknown dimension

Yen Sid watched as Zero Squadron milled about, a frown on his face as he did so. 'It would seem they need a push in the right direction. I gave them what they needed, now it is up to them to figure it out.' He mused as he saw Admiral Zala make his way to a jeep.

His hand waved, fading to show a new scene, one which showed Tiger of the Wind making his way down a path, panting slightly. 'And an old friend is in need of some serious help. I pray that someone does help him, lest he die and our one chance of saving our lost civilization is gone forever...'

The scene changed again, showing Wing Saber and Arcee making their way through the skies above, Wing Saber holding onto Arcee as he flew above the clouds. 'Two soldiers from two different Empires are on a journey to find a lost leader, but that all hinges on if they get the right help.'

One more wave of his hand showed Cree observing Zero Squadron, and a smile crossed his face. 'And the distrusted will soon become the trusted to a new side in this war, giving our side a much needed morale booster as well as information no one else will be able to claim is false.'
