(A/N: UPDATING ALERT! I'm going to be updating more often. I started doing this before, but had to stop due to time restraints, but until I say otherwise, if a chapter ends with a battle that hasn't been concluded, I will be updating the following week. I don't like to leave my readers hanging when a battle is taking place, so I'll be trying to get out the next installment faster. However, if a comes to an end or if there's no battle is going on, then expect an update in two weeks like usual. Everyone got that. If a battle is taking place, the update will be the next week, if not, it will be in two weeks. Hope that clears everything up. With that said, lets get on to the next chapter.)

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Chapter 129: The Return

TK's eyes narrowed at the dragon Digimon. "If you're Belphemon's Chaos General, then I'm guessing that you're the one here for revenge."

ChaosBlackWarGreymon's gaze turned to him. "You are correct. I'm going to make you pay for what you did to him."

Davis placed his hands on his hips. "For your information, he was the one who attacked us. Granted, we were on our way to defeat him, but he was still the one who came after us. You can't fault us for self-defense."

There was a chuckle from Boltboutamon as he suddenly appeared behind ChaosBlackWarGreymon, running his hands over the dragon Digimon in an almost sexual way. "If you hope to reason with him, I think you'll find that he's rather inconsolable. He's quite bent on revenge."

"Revenge is a dish best served cold," Davis countered. "Then again, I never understood that phrase."

Shoutmon closed his eyes. "Idiot. Can you just stop talking? We would have needed to defeat ChaosBlackWarGreymon eventually. They're the Demon Lords most loyal soldiers." His eyes went up to the bird Digimon in the sky. "Although, I'm a little more concerned about Ornismon."

There was a shang as ChaosBlackWarGreymon sliced his claws together. "You talk too much."

Marcus took a step forward. "I'm actually in agreement with the dragon man. Real fighters talk with their fists." He looked at the others. "If you guys are going to go Digimon, now's the time."

"Yeah, I want to see this," said Agumon with an eager grin.

"As do I," ChaosBlackWarGreymon commented. "I want to see the power that took down my master."

Tai held up his Digivice. "You want it, you got it. Execute! Spirit Evolution… Omnimon!"

"Execute! Spirit Evolution… Imperialdramon Fighter Mode!"

"Execute! Spirit Evolution… Gallantmon!"

"Execute! Spirit Evolution… EmperorGreymon!"

"Execute! Spirit Evolution… Seraphimon!"

"Execute! Spirit Evolution… Ophanimon!"

As the DigiDestined stood in their Digimon forms, Marcus and Agumon stared in awe. "Whoa!" the latter cried excitedly. "That was cool!"

"And now it's my turn," said Shoutmon. "Shoutmon Digivolve to… OmniShoutmon!"

Now Digivolved, he stood by the rest of his friends against ChaosBlackWarGreymon, Boltboutamon, and the still circling Ornismon. Marcus flashed them a grin as he took in their group. "That's awesome. Now it's time for us to join in the fray. Ready, Agumon?"

"You bet, bro!"

As if knowing what Marcus was thinking, Agumon held out his arms, and Marcus jumped onto them. The reptile Digimon gave him a boost, and Marcus leapt at ChaosBlackWarGreymon. The dragon Digimon didn't even react as Marcus let out a cry and threw a punch.

His fist collided with ChaosBlackWarGreymon's face, but the dragon Digimon didn't so much as flinch. Marcus dropped down in front of him, and ChaosBlackWarGreymon glanced down at him. "And what did that accomplish?"

Smirking, Marcus held up his fist. "Exactly what I intended to." He turned around and rushed towards Agumon. "You're up, pal!"

Agumon nodded and leapt into the air, going over Marcus' head. "You got it, bro!"

The light from Marcus' hand flashed brightly and flew over to the reptile Digimon. It surrounded him, and he began to glow with the light of Digivolution. "Now I can show you what I'm really capable of. Agumon Warp Digivolve to… ShineGreymon!"

There was a gust of wind as the newly Digivolved Mega swooped past the Chaos General and Boltboutamon. ChaosBlackWarGreymon glanced at him stoically while the demon Digimon grinned as the Digimon known as ShineGreymon flew over their heads and headed up towards Ornismon.

"Hey, cool," said Imperialdramon. "Who's that?"

"ShineGreymon," OmniShoutmon replied, "the Mega form of Agumon, having taken a different Digivolution route from the WarGreymon line."

Marcus punched the air. "You the mon, ShineGreymon! Show that overgrown turkey whose boss!"

"With pleasure," the dragon Digimon declared. "Glorious Burst!"

Spreading his wings, he fired lasers of solar energy at Ornismon. The attack hit the bird Digimon in the back, causing her to shriek and double back towards ShineGreymon. "Tempest!"

Flapping her wings, she caused a mighty windstorm. ShineGreymon struggled against it for a few moments before the powerful gust of wind sent him crashing to the ground.

Marcus stared with a startled look on his face. "Hey, what happened?"

OmniShoutmon glared at him. "Weren't you listening when I said that Ornismon was very powerful?"

"Idiot," ChaosBlackWarGreymon mumbled. "How fools like you managed to defeat Lord Belphemon is beyond me."

Marcus pointed at him. "Ha! Shows what you know. We didn't even fight Belphemon."

"Be grateful for that," Ophanimon told him. "He was terrifying."

ShineGreymon got to his feet. "Don't worry, I'm fine."

"You all talk too much," ChaosBlackWarGreymon growled. "Gaia Force!"

Gathering all the energy in the atmosphere, he threw a ball of energy similar to WarGreymon's Terra Force and BlackWarGreymon's Terra Destroyer, only it was noticeable larger and more powerful. Omnimon quickly rushed forward to catch the giant ball of energy. While his friends would be able to dodge the attack in time, Marcus wouldn't.

He pushed against the attack, his feet shredding the ground apart as the attack threatened to crush him. His friends scattered, and ShineGreymon quickly grabbed Marcus and took him with him. That just left Omnimon and ChaosBlackWarGreymon's attack. He pressed his cannon against it and began firing, pushing that attack back and giving him enough leverage to send the ball of energy into the sky.

Grinning, Boltboutamon jumped up, flying in front of the attack, and easily kicked the ball of energy back down towards Omnimon. This time, however, the knight Digimon flew away from the attack, yet the damage done by the resounding blast was extensive.

ChaosBlackWarGreymon joined Boltboutamon in the sky, and Ornismon flew over them. The DigiDestined hovered in the air across from them, Marcus shaking his fist at their opponents in protest. "Hey, don't be using cheap moves like that! If you want to kill me, then have the nerve to come over here and do it with your bare hands; I can take it!"

Boltboutamon chuckled. "Oh, I like this one. Be sure to save him for me; I want to kill him with my bare hands, just like he wants. Slowly."

ChaosBlackWarGreymon snorted. "I do not take orders from you. Nevertheless…"

He charged forward towards Marcus and ShineGreymon and raised his claw to strike. Seraphimon quickly flew into his path, catching ChaosBlackWarGreymon's claw with his Excalibur. ShineGreymon flew back with Marcus as the angel and dragon Digimon struggled against each other before ChaosBlackWarGreymon lashed out with his other claw.

Seraphimon backed away as the dragon Digimon repeatedly swiped at him. Ophanimon aimed her javelin at him, but before she could fire her attack, a gunshot rang out from Boltboutamon's gun.

"It's so cute how the two angels are always drawn together," he taunted. "I guess it's only fitting that you die together."

"You first," Omnimon shouted as he flew over and swiped his sword.

Boltboutamon avoided the blade and snapped his fingers, unleashing his Curtain Call, and the shockwave sent Omnimon flying backwards. The knight Digimon raised his cannon and fired his Supreme Cannon. Boltboutamon fired his own gun with his Baleful Draw, and the bullet hit Omnimon's attack, causing it to explode. He continued to fire upon the knight Digimon, and Omnimon used his sword to knock away the bullets. He wasn't always successful though as some found their marks, and those his sword struck left chinks in his blade.

"Lightning Joust!" Gallantmon cried, firing lightning from his lance. It struck Boltboutamon, who stopped firing and turned to him with a sneer.

"Was that small static shock your attack? Behold a real electrical attack. Electric Cl-"

He cut himself off as one of his hands shot out to catch OmniShoutmon's leg as the dragon Digimon attempted to use his Doom Drillpress. Glancing over his shoulder at him, he gave OmniShoutmon a wicked grin. The dragon Digimon looked nervous for a moment, then suddenly fired his Flame Cannon.

The demon Digimon let him go as he was pushed back by the flaming bolt. A moment later, Gallantmon slammed into him with his Lightning Charge. Next Omnimon flew over and attempted to use his Transcendent Sword on him, but Boltboutamon's bladed tail came up and blocked his sword.

A maniacal chuckle escaped the demon Digimon as he looked up at Omnimon. "You cheeky little humans. You've really got some nerve." He ran his tongue over his lips in an almost sexual way. "I was right, you really are a lot of fun."

Then he disappeared through a portal that opened behind him, only to reappear above the knight Digimon through another one. He slammed Omnimon down into the ground, then took off laughing as Gallantmon and OmniShoutmon gave chase. Omnimon got to his feet a few moments later and followed after them.

Though smaller now than as he had been as AncientGreymon, EmperorGreymon had grown used to going after larger Digimon, just as Imperialdramon had, and so the two of them had gone after Ornismon as the bird Digimon flew over the village. So far, she seemed to be ignoring them, but Imperialdramon was planning on changing that. "Lets see how much of a birdbrain this giant turkey is. Positron Laser!"

He fired a beam. It flew in front of Ornismon, and the bird Digimon pulled back. EmperorGreymon then took aim with his sword. "Time for a Thanksgiving feast. Dragonfire Crossbow!"

His attack hit, resulting in an explosion, and the bird Digimon shrieked. Amongst the smoke, they watched as she slowly turned to them. "Tempest!"

She began flapping her wings, and a heavy wind picked up. It hit the two dragon Digimon like a physical force, and they both went crashing to the ground.

"Geez," Imperialdramon groaned as he pulled his face out of the dirt. "Did something invisible hit us?"

EmperorGreymon pushed away some of the debris he was covered in from the house he had crashed through. "No, just a very powerful gust of wind."

Imperialdramon humphed. "I'll show this overgrown hatchling what powerful is," he said as he manifested his cannon. "Giga Crusher!"

"Cosmic Ray!" Ornismon countered, firing a beam from her mouth.

The attack hit, and Imperialdramon's exploded. Ornismon's, however, kept going, and the two dragon Digimon took off in different directions. Ornismon didn't seem to care though as she continuously fired her beam, moving her head about so her attack destroyed more and more of the village, sending the residential Digimon fleeing.

"She's destroying everything!" EmperorGreymon exclaimed. "Stop her, quick!"

"I'm on it," said Imperialdramon as his chest opened and his emitter emerged. "Ionic Blaster!"

This time, his attack hit, resulting in a massive blast. However, Ornismon emerged from it and fired another Cosmic Ray. Imperialdramon tried to defend with his Light Barrier, but he was still pushed down into some more houses.

EmperorGreymon landed and stabbed his sword into the ground, unleashing his Pyro Dragons attack. The nine streams of fire rose up towards Ornismon, drawing her attention. She used her Tempest attack, and the streams were blown away. EmperorGreymon was launched into the air a few moments later. The heavy wind had dispersed, and he flew up towards the bird Digimon.

With a swipe of his sword, he slashed Ornismon across the chest. The bird Digimon screeched and turned her attention to him. He realized what was going to happen a moment before it did, and braced himself as Ornismon's Cosmic Ray struck him, and he was blasted to the ground.

"Giga Crusher!" Imperialdramon cried, firing a blast up at Ornismon. This time, his attack hit, and he gave a mental smirk since he lacked a mouth. "Ha, got you that time, drumsticks."

Ornismon emerged from the blast, letting out another screech. She swooped down towards Imperialdramon like an eagle diving down to snatch up prey. The dragon Digimon dropped to the ground at the last moment, avoiding getting scooped up. Ornismon continued to fly low however, and unleashed her Tempest. All the structures around her were torn apart and blown away by the heavy winds, including Imperialdramon.

Once he finished twirling and tumbling, Imperialdramon dug himself out of the debris. "What a creep. She did that on purpose just to damage the village." He looked around at all the damage. "Hey, EmperorGreymon, where are you?"

An arm burst up a short distance away from beneath the debris. Imperialdramon went over and helped pull his fellow dragon Digimon to his feet. "Thanks. That Cosmic Ray of hers really packs a punch."

Imperialdramon looked back up at Ornismon, who was high up in the sky again. She unleashed her Cosmic Ray again, firing down upon the village again. A growl escaped him as he watched as she destroyed more of the village. "Why is she destroying everything? We're the one's she's supposed to be fighting. Does she just get off on killing?"

"We've got to stop her before she hurts anyone else," EmperorGreymon told him. "Come on, let's go."

They took off after her, flying past ChaosBlackWarGreymon as he did battle with ShineGreymon and the two angel Digimon. Seraphimon struck with his Excalibur while Ophanimon stabbed with her javelin. ChaosBlackWarGreymon caught both weapons and pushed them both back in the air before angling them down so they crashed to the ground.

ShineGreymon flew towards the Chaos General as he stood over the two angel Digimon. Using his GeoGrey Sword, he summoned a fiery dual-bladed sword from the ground and swiped at ChaosBlackWarGreymon. The Chaos General turned to him and blocked the blade with his claws. Using his other hand, ShineGreymon used his Shine Hammer, punching out with a fist filled with light energy. ChaosBlackWarGreymon caught his fist with his free hand, struggling with it for a few moments.

"This power you get from your human friends is great indeed," he told his fellow dragon Digimon, "but nothing compared to that of the Demon Lords."

He jumped up and delivered a kick to ShineGreymon, knocking him away, then cupped his hands together. "Giga Blaster!"

A fish-shaped missile appeared in between his hands and he launched it at ShineGreymon. It exploded against him, and he went flying backwards. He hit the ground hard, tearing a deep groove into it as he skidded along, crashing through houses and other structures.

"Strike of the Seven Stars!" Seraphimon cried, firing while ChaosBlackWarGreymon's back was turned.

His attack blasted against the dragon Digimon, pushing him away. He turned back to the two angel Digimon and launched his Gaia Force. Seraphimon and Ophanimon flew off in different directions, the latter firing her Eden's Javelin at the dragon Digimon. He snarled as he was pushed back by the beam, then lunged at her and swiped. She blocked with her shield, and he pressed against it. Then a ball of light from Seraphimon's Hallowed Knuckle struck him, allowing Ophanimon to force him back with her Holy Light.

Seraphimon appeared by Ophanimon's side, and the two attacked ChaosBlackWarGreymon. Ophanimon with her javelin and Seraphimon with his Excalibur. ChaosBlackWarGreymon managed to defend against their attacks, but when ShineGreymon rejoined them with his GeoGrey Sword, he began to lose ground.

"Enough!" he declared, raising his arms over his head and gathering energy. "Gaia Force!"

He threw the attack down at the ground beneath them, and all four of them were caught up in the blast of what appeared to be a suicidal attack. Omnimon halted in his battle with Boltboutamon as he saw his sister and friends get caught up in the blast. "Ophanimon! Seraphimon!"

"Root Bind!" Boltboutamon cried, while he was distracted, and Omnimon was suddenly bound by roots. "You must not let yourself get distracted."

"Like you are now?" Gallantmon cried at him. "Spiral Saver!"

He began spinning around, conjuring up a fiery tornado. Boltboutamon grinned and used his Dark Rostrum, summoning forth a magic circle from which his own tornado emerged. It collided with Gallantmon's, and the two vortexes erupted, sending fire flying out across the sky from the knight Digimon's attack.

"Twin Fireball Strike!" OmniShoutmon cried, throwing fireballs at Boltboutamon.

The demon Digimon reached out, catching the fireballs in his bare hands, and crushed them, extinguishing the flames. Then he used his Final Act, sticking his hands through various portals, only to have them emerge several times larger above Gallantmon and OmniShoutmon, smashing them to the ground.

Omnimon was struggling to get free of the roots binding him so he could get to his sister and the others. ChaosBlackWarGreymon had emerged from the blast, but he had yet to see if the others were all right. But then a portal opened up behind him, and Boltboutamon's arms encircled him from behind, holding him close, almost as if he were a lover.

"As I was saying, you should really learn to keep your focus in battle." He dragged a claw over Omnimon's face, pausing at his temple, and began to dig it into the knight Digimon's head, making him grunt in pain. "Keep your head in the game, so to speak, and worry about your friends later. They're still alive, look."

The dust began to clear, revealing the two angel Digimon and ShineGreymon to be damaged, but still alive, and Omnimon breathed a sigh of relief. It was short-lived, however, as Boltboutamon chuckled and dug his claw in even deeper.

"Don't look so relieved," he taunted. "It was obvious they survived. Besides, I would never allow such a bland tasteless death for them. As I told you when we first met, I intend for you and your friends to suffer greatly before you die. After all, if you humans can only die once, I want it to be excruciating."

"Then why bring a Chaos General?" Omnimon growled, wincing as the demon Digimon's claw dug in even deeper. "Why bring Ornismon?"

Boltboutamon chuckled. "Because it's part of the game. I didn't think it would be fair to deny ChaosBlackWarGreymon a chance to have his revenge since you destroyed his master." He licked the side of Omnimon's face, which was almost as bad as having his claw digging into his head. "But since you and your friends seem to be struggling a bit, I'll give you a handicap. If you or your friends can manage to defeat either ChaosBlackWarGreymon or Ornismon, I'll consider this your victory and retreat from battle. After all, I do wish to see the final confrontation between your little group and Lord Beelzemon."

Omnimon glared at him. "And what if we destroy you?"

"Gram Strike!" Gallantmon cried, stabbing Boltboutamon in the back, and the demon Digimon burst into data. "Damn, just a copy."

With a swipe of his lance, he cut Omnimon free. Suddenly, he cried out as four rapiers stabbed through his arms and legs. Boltboutamon's laughter was heard as he emerged from another portal. OmniShoutmon went after him with his Omni Torpedo, and Boltboutamon's hand shot out. He grasped the dragon Digimon by the face, and the aura around him dispersed.

Tossing OmniShoutmon away, Boltboutamon used his Pernicious Waltz. A pained groan escaped Gallantmon as the rapiers tore free from his limbs and began flying about wildly. They multiplied and began flying towards the two knight Digimon. With his arms and legs damaged, Gallantmon could do little to defend himself, and so Omnimon remained by his side to assist him. OmniShoutmon joined them a few moments latter, batting away the flying rapiers as Boltboutamon laughed.

Imperialdramon and EmperorGreymon were still trying to catch Ornismon. Much of the village had been destroyed by the bird Digimon, as had many of the residents. The two dragon Digimon attempted to stop her, but she kept using her Tempest to keep them at bay or to deflect their attacks, and would, at times, even turn her Cosmic Ray on them.

"We can't just keep chasing her," said EmperorGreymon. "At this rate she'll destroy the entire village. She's already destroyed most of it."

"I'm open to any suggestions," Imperialdramon replied. "Lets try this. Light Barrier!"

A barrier of light appeared in front of Ornismon, and she collided with it. She let out an angry screech before blasting it with her Cosmic Ray. The barrier held for a few moments before dispersing. Imperialdramon and EmperorGreymon began to close the distance, but then Ornismon turned her attack on them. They flew in different directions to avoid the beam, but it still grazed Imperialdramon's wing, causing him to cry out in pain.

"Soaring Nine Headed Dragon Force!" EmperorGreymon cried, and summoned forth a giant dragon spirit of fire. The large figure flew at Ornismon, who unleashed her Tempest. EmperorGreymon's attack pushed against the powerful wind, but was eventually blown away.

EmperorGreymon swore. "It's still no good. Our attacks can't get close."

Imperialdramon came up beside him. "And I swear her attacks are getting stronger."

EmperorGreymon's eyes narrowed in thought. He looked down at the damage Ornismon had caused, taking note of all the Digimon fleeing and cowering in fear. Suddenly, it clicked, and a gasp escaped him.

"She's been destroying everything for a reason. OmniShoutmon said that fear and anger make her stronger. She's been boosting her power by destroying everything to get negative reactions out of everyone."

Imperialdramon's eyes widened as he too surveyed the damage. "That bitch. I can't believe she did this."

Ornismon shrieked and fired her Cosmic Ray. The two dragon Digimon flew towards her, knowing it would be useless to attack from a distance. They avoided the powerful beam as they approached, ready to face her head on.

"Lets see how you like this!" Imperialdramon shouted at her. "Dragon Kick!"

His foot slammed into the bird Digimon's head, making her screech, and sending the beam shooting out of her mouth into a different direction. This allowed EmperorGreymon to move in with his sword. "Purgatory Sword Dance!"

Ornismon shrieked again as the dragon Digimon did a series of sword combination moves, slashing her all over. She unleashed her Tempest, and the heavy winds sent both EmperorGreymon and Imperialdramon crashing to the ground. Ornismon immediately flew down after them, coming down on both dragon Digimon, crushing them beneath her talons. They tried to get up, but she was too strong for them.

"And now to finish you!" she declared, speaking more than an attack name for the first time. "Cosmic R-"

"Dragon Driver!"

Something collided into Ornismon's head. She screeched loudly and stumbled off the two dragon Digimon. They jumped to their feet and leapt away as Ornismon looked around for what had struck her. There was a blur of red as she was struck again before the figure doubled back and hit her a third time.

"What is that?" Imperialdramon asked, trying to keep track of the red blur's movements.

"I don't know," said EmperorGreymon. "It's moving so fast I can't make it out."

Neither could Ornismon. She tried to keep track of the red blur, but it sped along without pause. She let out an angry screech and fired her Cosmic Ray, only to miss, her attack blasting against the ground.

The red blur flew up from the rising dust cloud, finally coming to a stop to unleash an attack. "Yuggoth Blaster!"

A tri-bolo of energy flew from their mouth and stuck Ornismon. The bird Digimon let out a screech as she went down. There was something familiar about the attack, and the two dragon Digimon turned their attention to the one who delivered it.

"Is that…?" EmperorGreymon gasped in astonishment.

"Can't be!" Imperialdramon exclaimed. "Grani!"

The steed Digital life form glanced at them, some semblance of a smile on his face. It was indeed the very Digital life form they had last seen during their escape from Cherubimon's castle with an army of Diaboromon copies chasing after them. They hadn't known what had become of him after they had been separated at sea, but had feared the worst.

"Hello, again, humans," Grani told them. "Sorry I was gone for so long."

"How did you find us?" Imperialdramon asked. "It sure is convenient timing, but how?"

A screech from Ornismon drew their attention, and they looked back at the bird Digimon. Grani's eyes narrowed as she got to her feet. "There will be time for explanations later. I will not lose you a second time. Dragon Driver!"

He plowed into Ornismon again. She screeched in frustration and fired her Cosmic Ray at him, but was unable to hit her target. EmperorGreymon flew over and stabbed his sword into Ornismon's back. The bird Digimon screeched loudly and began thrashing about wildly.

"I have no idea if this will work," the dragon Digimon muttered, "but here we go. Pyro Dragons!"

Nine trails of fire spread across Ornismon's back, causing the bird Digimon to shriek louder and shake about more violently. The dragon-headed streams of fire emerged and wrapped around her, holding her in place.

"Me next," Imperialdramon called out in warning. "Get clear. Giga Crusher!"

EmperorGreymon pulled his sword free and took off as Imperialdramon's attack exploded against Ornismon, consuming her in a blast. Grani doubled back and fired another Yuggoth Blaster into the explosion.

"Fried chicken," said Imperialdramon. "My favorite. Well, not really, but you know what I mean."

The sky was filled with a cloud of smoke from the attacks. It was suddenly blown away by a mighty gust of wind from Ornismon's Tempest. The powerful windstorm sent Grani spinning through the air while Imperialdramon was flattened to the ground, and EmperorGreymon came crashing down beside him.

Ornismon turned her furious gaze down at them and gave a loud screech before dive-bombing down at them. "This time there will be no one to save you!"

"Wrong again, you feathered freak!" ShineGreymon declared as he rushed towards her. "I'm here now! GeoGrey Sword!"

As Ornismon's mouth lit up in preparation to fire her Cosmic Ray, ShineGreymon swiped his sword at her in passing. The two passed each other, and for a few seconds, nothing happened. Then, as Ornismon's Cosmic Ray erupted from her mouth, her head split open, and her attack went off course, missing Imperialdramon and EmperorGreymon.

"And now for the finisher," ShineGreymon decreed. "Glorious Burst!"

His attack blasted against Ornismon as she descended, now in a free fall rather than a dive. On her other side, Grani flew back and fired his Yuggoth Blaster. The additional attack consumed Ornismon in an explosion. The bird Digimon gave one final distorted screech before she dissolved into data.

Everyone's attention had shifted from what they were doing to the destruction of Ornismon. The only one who kept fighting was ChaosBlackWarGreymon, who quickly brought Seraphimon and Ophanimon's attention back to him. Boltboutamon, on the other hand, was watching as Ornismon dissolved away with a slightly bewildered look on his face.

It didn't last long though, and the demon Digimon quickly snapped out of it. When he did, he began laughing. His laughter grew louder and became more deranged, despite the loss of his ally. He turned to his opponents and gave them a wide grin full of madness. "You see! This is why I love this game! Who knows how the tide of battle might turn! Did you expect someone new to suddenly join the fight? I certainly didn't! What a twist!"

Gallantmon glared at him. "You're completely insane."

Boltboutamon just snickered. "I am also a Digimon of my word. Well, when I want to be. And today, I want to. So…"

A portal suddenly opened behind him, and he flew backwards into it. Another portal appeared behind ChaosBlackWarGreymon as the dragon Digimon continued to battle Seraphimon and Ophanimon, and Boltboutamon's hand shot out and grabbed ChaosBlackWarGreymon's ankle.

"What!?" the dragon Digimon growled as he looked down to see Boltboutamon's grinning face poke out of the portal. "What are you doing!? Unhand me, you cur!"

The demon Digimon just chuckled as he yanked ChaosBlackWarGreymon into the portal. "So sorry, my friend, but I made an agreement. This is the humans' win."

ChaosBlackWarGreymon struggled even harder as Boltboutamon's arms wrapped around him, pulling him further into the portal. "You traitor! How can you flee, you coward!? I shall avenge Lord Belphemon! Release me!"

Boltboutamon placed his mouth by the dragon Digimon's ears. "Calm yourself, my friend. If Lord Beelzemon fails to kill them, I have a rather interesting idea that will allow you to take your revenge." He glanced at Seraphimon and Ophanimon, flashing them a grin. "Ta-ta, angels."

With that, he pulled the still struggling Chaos General through the portal, and it disappeared behind them.

(A/N: Well, this is a surprising turn of events. Boltboutamon kept his word for one thing, but perhaps even more surprising is the reappearance of Grani. Where did he come from and how did he find them. That shall be revealed next time, so stay tuned. And just to specify, since this battle has come to an end, the n ext chapter will be out in two weeks.)
