Dream island, City Dumb, Japan, 2210 Midday February 20
"Fox Fire!" Garurumon spew blue flames against a pair of robots that Gemini Spark controlled. The Wolf digimon dashed through the dumb while the human passengers hold on to his fur until the group reach the deepest point of the scrapyard.
As they got there… here where nothing odd going on. Or anything out of place at this moment.
"Where are they?" Yamato asks in wonder and looks around in confusion.
"Over there!" Yuudai point at an platform as they saw Gemini Spark, waiting for them.
"Tsukasa!" Subaru jumped off Garurumon, heading towards the possessed Tsukasa and his other personality, Hikaru with Yamato, Yuudai and Garurumon behind him.
"About time you guys got here!" Hikaru smirked.
"No thanks to you!' Yuudai retort, transforming into Zero.
"Why? I don't understand why you doing this? Why did you force Tsukasa in all of this?" Subaru asked.
"Because Tsukasa wished for it." Answered the Gemini controlled 'Twin' "He want to take revenge against the world for giving the life he has. So he asked for my help as in return, Tsukasa add me in mine quest to retrieve the Andromeda Key."
"So you were trying to draw out Rock to get your hands on him." Realized Yamato "But what I don't understand… why going the lengths of creating raptures in human society?"
"Because they are fragile like hell!" Hikaru answered. "And we're going to show you!" Both him and Gemini dived into an large old satellite dish behind them.
"Damn! They are going to run away using that dish!" Warrock snarled.
"Run away? Boi have you got it wrong! We're in here to do this!" Tsukasa declared, using the satellite dish to sent many pulse and minus waves through all out of the country. Some of the waves headed towards Yamato and Subaru, but Yuudai quickly goes into the wave world, cutting the waves into two until antenna stop procrastinating.
"So that's what their plan was! They're using that beat up antenna to broadcast those waves! If we don't do something, the damage is going to spread out further than before!" Warrock told.
Subaru's Transfer goes off, he open the lid and see Misora and Sora's faces on the screen.
"Subaru?! It's terrible!" She called out
"Misora?! What wrong?" He asked.
"I-it's terrible! Everyone's…. Everyone is fight against each other!" Misora explained. "Sora-nee-chan and the others are trying to stop them, but the people won't stop fighting!"
We have to stop them!" panics Yamato.
"How about we smash the dish? NO dish no signals" Reasoned Garurumon.
"Until they jumped into another one. The best bet is to go there and kick Gemini's sorry butt."
"It would still buy us time!" Argued the Digimon "Or do you prefer that the humans are still fighting while we fight against Gemini?"
But the argument was cut short when Yuudai cut the dish with the Genmu Zero technic and jumped into the old satellite's comp with anger in his eyes.
"That is one way to deal with that problem." Rock command. "Now let us grab that Gemini bastard!" Without warning, Warrock forced Subaru to EM wave change followed Yuudai with Garurumon behind him
Dream island, City Dumb, Scrap-comp, 2210 Midday February 20
It didn't take too long for Yuudai and the rest to reach the location where Gemini Spark is hiding. After deleting the last EM virus, the gang stand in front of the FM-ain with Starman waiting for them.
The white Gemini Spark looked at Rockman, but with an difference expression then before.
"Something is different?" muttered Mega "Much too different."
"You noticed." Hikaru smirked, placing his hand on the white Gemini's shoulder. "We just convinced Tsukasa to follow our original plan, and get our revenge against the world."
"It's true." Tsukasa said. "I'm sorry, but i've decided to go on with my original plan. My parents threw me away… i hate them.. And the only way to calm my hatred is to take revenge on them."
"To make everybody suffer? Even those who has nothing to do with it?" Garurumon asked.
"And what of it? Neither of them came to our help! Give us a roof over our head! Give us the love we desperately desire! I say let them root with our bastards of a parents!" Hikaru answered, as he and Tsukasa ready themselves for battle. "And for that to happen we'll take the Andromeda Key you two have."
"That is why… for the sake of my revenge… to use you and your weakness!" Tsukasa explained.
"Not while we're here!" Yuudai snarled, standing in front of Subaru with the wolf Digimon by his side. "You think your the only one that suffered? Well guess what: There are a lot of people out there that suffered the same as you or even worse! And trying to turn the world into a bloodbath while using my friend for your revenge…." Zero gripped the handle of his sword tight, while his body giving out a malevolent aura. "Then i'll grind the both of you into dust!"
"Someone is sure ticked off." Starman smiled. "But sadly, both you, your wolf friend and me will need to stay out of this. This IS a fight between friends after all." With a snap with his fingers, trap hole appeared underneath the feets of Yuudai, Garurumon and Starman as they fell into the deepest part of the Scarp-com. Both human and digimon barely managed to land on their feets, but as they look up, the holes they fell in close it self up.
"With this, we can go all out without the drama hindering us." Starman landed without a real hassle and stook straight "I hope you aren't going to disappoint my expectations on you two."
"We don't have time for you stupid expectation!" Yuudai growled. "Get out of our way, so that we can help Subaru!"
"Fraid i can't do that, Zero junior. The boss strictly order us to make sure things go as the events that had happen in those two worlds." Starman told. "So expect a lot of us meddling in your affairs in the future."
"That had happened?" asks Yuudai confused "What are you talking about?"
"Not gonna tell! Would ruin the fun out of it!" Starman summoned a swarm of meteors with rain down at Yuudai and Garurumon.
"Oh damn!" muttered Yuuday before he starts running with Garurumon to be not hit by them.
The wolf digimon spew blue fire at Starmon, who dodge at the last minute shooting an arrow at Garurumon. Yuudai cut arrow before it could hit the Digimon. The silver hair boy then leaps toward the navi, but Starman's hand transform into a sword blocked Yuudai's attack.
"Come on, is that the best you can do, kid? I thought the other Zero suppose to be the strongest warrior around. Better to step it up!" Starman taunt, kicking him in the gut before jumping backwards to gain distance between his opponent.
Garurumon runs after Starman and snarled loudly as he get ready to attack the Netnavi again.
But Starman simply float the other way, avoiding Garurumon's bite. "Too slow, if only you human partner had his Crest, you could've catching me by now." Starman snickered with a grin as he backflipped when Yuudai swing his sword behind him and landing on a floating platform.
"You really starting to annoy me!" Yuudai shout at the Netnavi.
"Cracky aren't we?" Starman laughed. "But you know, having a Digimon with you is a bit of a disadvantage for me. So how about i'll call my 'partner'?" With a snap of his finger, a glitched like portal appeared beside him and form the portal a digimon that is familiar to Yuudai and Garurumon emerging form it, staring at them with glowing red eyes.
"Vamdamon?!" The wolf Digimon gasped, seeing the same vampire digimon that was one of the deadliest enemies he and his friends had to face.
"Not quite, this Vamdamon is but a copy based of the one you and your buddies fought, few years ago." Starman explained, leaning on the vampire's shoulder. "But even an copy can beat an genuine article. If you get my drift."
"You are mad!" bellowed the wolf Digimon "Have you any idea what he nearly did? And you are making copies" he growled and tried to shoot his flames at the enemy. While rushing closer to tackle it out of the battle field.
But the Vamdamon copy counter the attack with a swarms of bats, coming out of his cape and fly towards Garurumon, while the two Digimon are in combat Starman mused "You know… I cannot let the fun all to yourself" he smirks "Let's see how you handle a horde from the past." and snapped his fingers and countless of viruses are falling on the field, all of them oddly covered with green rectangles.
"W-what the heck is wrong with those viruses?!" Yuudai hold his sword tight, keeping his guard up for any attacks.
"Oh nothing… just having picked up too much of leftover data of a terrible virus beast." explains Starman "Was a big thing back then, nearly destroyed everything. Now I wonder what happens if it reforms… breaks free… and roam thought a world where the protections against this thing were never taken over from the old network systems…" The dozens of viruses glaring at Yuudai with blood red eyes. "I think he's hungry" Mused Starman simply with his hands behind his neck "Wonder what is better… you… or a completely unprotected network, where the best bet is a bunch of animals while you and blue guy are busy."
The virus charged towards Yuudai, ready to strike him down with bloodlust. Yuudai swing his sword but a Garu caught with his teeth. The boy struggled to break free. "Let go, you freak!" Yuudai yelled, before getting tackled by a Crowcar.
Quickly recovering from the blow,Yuudai saw the Garu throw his sword away off the edge of the platform. "What will you do? Without your weapon, you're hopeless against this pack!" Starman laughed, taunting the red swordsman.
The virus leaped towards Yuudai, but he rolled out of the in a nick of time and jumped off the platform to get his sword back which is on a lower platform where Garurumon is fighting the fake Vamdemon as the vampire digimon pinning th digimon of friendship down.
Yuudai pick up his sword, dashing towards the two digimon and swing a horizontal slash to Vamdemon, but the digimon blocked the attack with a crimson glowing whip before following up with a swarm of bats to harass the young warrior and followed up with one more whip. Garurumon used the opportunity and attack Vamdemon with his Foxfire, forcing the vampire to block the attack with his cape. The fox quickly jumped backwards and used his Fox Fire against to delete the bats that is attacking Yuudai.
"Ugh! Those bats were annoying!" Yuudai groan in frustration.
"Tell me about it!" stated Garurumon with a huff "They were bad the first time but now it is ridiculous" and saw that the fake Digimon was now sending more bats at the two of them, more than normal, and Foxfire were shot more to take as many as possible.
Meanwhile, Starman watching the fight from afar. Although the irregular navi was a bit annoyed. "The kid got guts, but doesn't he realize Zero's full potential. Which is a big bumper." He sighed, looking at Garurumon. "And it's also less fun since that wolf lost his ability to change into his ultimate form. I really wished to have a good rumble with them."
"Ah, the pleasure of battle. A feeling that i, oh so understand, Starman." A voice told form behind the navi. Glancing back to see who were talking, Starman spotted a hooded tall man, but felt an immense he knew very well.
"B-boss?! Why are you here?" He asked, stutter in fear of the robbed man.
"Just stretching my leg." He reply, looking down at the fight. "I see, the plan is going smoothly. The boy is close to unless a fragment of Zero's power."
"H-huh? How can you tell?" Starman asked.
"He and i are bound in a chain of fate covered covered in crimson blood. Sensing Zero's present is but a child play for me as long he carry his 'potential'." The boss answered.
"Then why not go there and fight the kid? The system he is using allowed him to synch with Zero's emotion and memory, right? So if you go down there, i can have a good fight!" Starman asked.
"I could do that. But it will only be a hindernisse to our plan if Yuudai can't control Zero's full power. Not as he is right now." The man said. "No, this require patience and preciseness. Any rash action will lead to unnecessary development. Something that i had to learn after staring at death's doorstep from that elf's light." He raise his hand, narrowing his eyes at Yuudai. "And occasionally a one single push is what you need to evolve." The robed man fired a energy blast from the palm of his hand.
Yuudai noticed the incoming attack, deflect the blast with his sword sending it to the fake Vamdemon, dealing a lot of damage to the fake digimon. He looked up, seeing Starman, the wolf virus and a tall figure wearing a ragged robe and a hood covering his head.
"Who-" Just then, a feeling start to slowly raise with in Yuudai, seeing images in his head, giving him a splitting headache as the images appearing start. Groaning in pain as he fall to his knees, grabbing his head.
"Yuudai! Garurumon called out, only to get smack away by the AR Vemdamon.
The AR Digimon dash towards Yuudai, but the red swordsman quickly grab the vampire by the throat while the young boy turn his attention to the digimon with eyes glowing crimson. But suddenly an energy blast shot of AR Vemdamon's arm got blasted off.
"Yuudai!" Cat called from an higher platform, shooting a couple of more shoot from her sniper tail. Landing a couple of hits on AR Vemdamon's chest and ending it life with a headshot.
"Impressive shooting." Robed man appeared behind Cat, complemented the hacker of the Predators.
"The hell?!" Cat exclaimed, before getting grab on the throat and raised in the air by the unknown man.
"At least, i got to meet one of the infamous Predators. You're kind is truly an enigma in this world, just like the 'Zero' over there." His eyes wandered to Yuudai who was holding his head in pain.
Cat quickly point her tail to the man's face, shooting him at a point blank range. The man stumbled backwards, Cat broke free from his grip and leaped to the two male's side. "You prik! That's no way to treat a lady!" She snarled.
But to her and Garurumon's surprise, the figure stood up as his head start to reassembling under his hood "Impressive. But compare to the many times i got shot in the face: That was, as the humans would like to say, a mosquito bite."
"What the hell?" she asked in surprise and stepped back "Such a regenerative power? Where does he have the resources to do so?"
Still groaning in pain from the mass images flashing through his eyes. Yuudai looked up, seeing the eyes of the figure starting down at him, This trigger something inside of him, rage, hatred, anger just by looking at the man as suddenly, Yuudai let out a ferocious scream, making a long leap towards the hooded man.
Before he could react, Yuudai stabbed his sword right into the man's shoulder. Looking at the blade, the person chuckles before bursting out a laughter. "How splendid! The hatred and anger you inherit from Zero truly is remarkable!" he smiled, grabbing Yuudai's head before pulling the sword out. "But alas, you're are not ready yet." Declared, breaking Yuudai's sword in two with his bare hands. "Do you hate me, boy? Or is Zero's emotion guiding you? If you don't figure out what's what. You and you friend will never success beating us, Irregulars!" With that he throw Yuudai in the air, making a long sword made of data fragments and swon a vertical slash to the boy.
Yuudai scream in pain, as he looked down at the figure, seeing a image of the same bald man from his dream. He reach his hand towards him, before losing conscious, crushing to the ground.
"Zero!" shouts Cat and Garurumon as the feline snarls, wiping out a gatling modifications and let loose a bullet hell against her opponents. While glancing always to a side slightly, as she is having to keep an eye on the energy levels… she isn't made for heavy weapons use after all.
Holding his hand in front, creating a barrier to block the incoming volly of Cat's gatling. "You show potential. But like i said, no one is ready of the Irregulars." The man said, sending out a shockwave with his sword, making a large cloud of dust once the attack hit the ground. "Once all of you are ready, i shell face you and then, we'll see who is truly superior in the face of evolution!"
Once the dust has settled down, the hooded figure and Starman are nowhere to be seen.
"Where did they go?!" Cat snarled, keeping her guard up for an sneak attack.
"Yuudai!" Garurumon exclaimed, checking on his human friend while revered back to Gabumon. "Yuudai! Please, talk to me!" He begged, rolling Yuudai to his back, hearing a couple of groan sound coming from him. "Cat! Yuudai is not waking up, and i think he's not doing so good!"
"Getting hit by a sword is never good"! Told the Predator, rushing to the boy's side. "Thing is thought, I cannot check his code… human code is nothing I am trained for. We better get him to his father!"
"Right! Gabumon carrying Yuudai over his shoulders, before getting out of the comp with Cat following.
