And we're finally back with this!
Been a good while hasn't it?
But yeah, we're finally bringing you all some new chapters for this, three chapters in fact, all in one burst.
After that... well, we're actually gonna keep working on this one!
I figured it was high time we gave it some more attention and work through it.
Hope you all look forward to it!
Toy Town! Flying City?
The only thing any of them could feel was rushing air as they tumbled through a dark tunnel, all far too disoriented and panicked to be able to even try to use their Digivices. At this rate they'd go splat on the ground if they didn't do something. The tunnel quickly ended though, and deposited them… right up in the air. The group barely had a chance to blink in surprise, before they started falling again. Fortunately they did land on something. Soft and rather deep in a way that they...basically were very pleasantly surprised to find themselves NOT smears on the ground, even if they had to dig their way out, revealing they'd landed in...a giant ball pit?
"...I know I've complained about this world being weird, but right now I am SO thankful it is," Yang sighed in relief as she looked around to see who else was with her. She was happy to see Ruby surface soon enough, and aside from Ruby she saw Weiss and Blake...as well as Gyro, Neo, and Hyokomon. "Glad some of us are together too," she sighed.
"What the heck is this even supposed to be?" Gyro said, trying to move around but he was having… difficulty.
"It's a ball pit. You know, like in those fast food restaurants for kids?" Ruby said.
"I have no idea, never been to one." Gyro said, before sinking down into the balls… he then came back up, climbing up the side of the pit with a frustrated look "I'm no good with this stuff."
"Good or not, it sure saved us from the fall," Blake couldn't help but chuckle a bit as they all climbed out of the ball pit.
Once they were properly out they looked around...and noticed that they were in an area that looked like something out of a child's dreams what with the giant toys that decorated the area, what appeared to be a several rides they could see not too far away...not to mention the large castle like something out of an amusement park. Unsurprisingly, Ruby's eyes were sparkling as she saw this. "Wow! This place looks like fun!" she cheered.
"Well...I guess it DOES look inviting," Weiss admitted. "Though, let's not forget about the last place that 'looked like fun' we were at…" she sighed.
"Oh...right…" Ruby deflated a little, but didn't lose the smile.
"Well, we can check the place out as long as we're careful," Yang said.
"About the only thing we can do honestly," Blake agreed, earning several nods of agreement.
The group were soon walking around, looking at the odd location they'd found themselves in with cautious interest. "Well this place is sure...colorful," Gyro mused.
"Well it does look like an Amusement Park of sorts," Yang mused.
"Amusement Park? You mean those places only the so-called creme of the crop get to go to?" he frowned. At that the girls all turned to him with funny looks. "...what?"
"Um...not really sure. I mean...I don't remember there being any Amusement Parks that are only for the super rich," Yang said, scratching the back of her head.
"They don't even have any in Atlas or Mantle," Weiss frowned. "Besides, something that exclusive would be bad for business."
Now it was Gyro who was giving Weiss a funny look "What are Atlas and Mantle?"
"They're the main cities of Solitas," Blake answered, getting a funny feeling the more they talked. "You know, the northern continent of Remnant."
Gyro just blinked owlishly "What? What's Solitas? Heck, what's Remnant? As a matter of fact, two questions that have been bugging me, number 1, how did Weiss do that weird floating thing that broke the cages earlier, and number 2, are those cat ears an accessory or something?"
"Wait...you don't know Remnant? Where are you from then?" Ruby asked, looking more confused than anything, while the older girls were just staring at him, as if they were trying to understand what he was saying.
"Wha-? My accent isn't obvious? Mom always said it was more pronounced than hers. I'm from Canada, one of the countries in North America? You know, Planet Earth." Gyro said incredulously.
He was met with blank stares, including a shaking head from Neo.
"So...you're not from Remnant," Ruby blinked, before she came up with the logical answer as only a kid could. "Does that mean you're an alien?"
"Of course not! I'm 100% human!" he shot down the idea with a huff.
"But...we're humans too and we've never even heard of this 'Earth' place...unless by earth you mean dirt," Yang blinked.
"And where we're from, what we said was common knowledge, including Semblances," Weiss mused, making a glyph to show it.
"Not to mention you don't know about Faunus. Sure things aren't...THAT great, but I think we're pretty well known," Blake added, as her ears wiggled a bit...in a way that couldn't have been fake unless they were stupidly well made.
Gyro just stared at them all for several long moments "... oh god you're all completely serious aren't you?" he said, suddenly looking rather worried.
"We are," Weiss sighed. "Though that adds even more questions, among them how and why would kids from two different planets end up here?" she groaned.
"The next problem is if we do go back, how do we make sure we go back to the right world?" Blake groaned as well.
Gyro looked thoughtful at that "Hey… Remnant… how is it like?"
"What do you mean?" Ruby asked.
"Well… is the air clean? Because Earth is… kind of crapsack. Has been since way before I was born apparently." Gyro said.
"...more or less the same honestly…" Blake sighed. "The air's clean, but that's not going to stop the Grimm from tearing apart anyone they get their claws on, so there's that…"
"I dunno what a Grimm is, but the air being clean is already a step up from Earth." Gyro deadpan.
"Big bad murderbeasts." Yang shrugged, while Neo emphasised it by imitating something with large claws and fangs roaring to give him an idea.
Gyro blinked a bit "Eh." before shrugging "Still better than Earth. You never know when you're gonna turn a corner and have a gun to your head back there. The top 1% are in control of everything and making everyone below fight constant pointless wars for them while they utterly exhaust all the resources… Earth is a dying rock."
"That…sounds too terrible to be real…" Weiss frowned.
"As believable as a world full of murder beasts?" Gyro countered.
"When you put it that way…" Blake conceded, before shaking her head. "Maybe...maybe we shouldn't dwell on this too much. The...strange truth we've just found out aside, we still need to find out where we are...and find a way to meet up with the others."
"And find a way to beat those Shadow Warriors next time we see them," Yang added.
"That too," Blake nodded.
"Yeah… good point…" Gyro said, although he looked to be deep in thought even as the group started walking again, until Neo tagged at his sleeve and he looked at her, smiling at her small frown "Don't worry, just wondering about an idea I had, that's all." he said, making her node with her own small, glad he wasn't feeling down.
"Hmm… you know… I think I've heard about this place." Hyokomon said as he looked around "I think that this is Toy Town, though… last I checked it wasn't a flying town." he finished in confusion.
"Toy Town?" Weiss repeated in confusion.
"Yeah. A place where the toys of children apparently all come to once the kids grow out of playing with them." Hyokomon said "It's also a great place for kids to come to, so they can find new toys they can play with."
"Huh… so a cycle of toys coming here to rest and then going off with a new kid… that's pretty nice." Yang said with a smile.
"Think wherever the toys are we might find someone who can help?" Ruby asked.
"You also want to play with them a bit too, right?" Yang said in amusement as she ruffled her sister's hair.
Ruby struggled to get away for a bit before saying "Maaaybe." With an innocent smile.
"Is this really the time?" Weiss sighed, and yet she had a wry smile.
"Well...she's not wrong, so I guess it's our best bet for now," Blake chuckled in mild amusement.
Gyro frowned, before sighing "Eh, guess a few minutes won't hurt." he said, and Neo patted him on the shoulder with a smile.
With that agreed, the group continued onwards, looking for...anyone really. Eventually though they found their first clue, namely…
"...that's a toy robot flying through the air. I'm not the only one seeing that, right?" Yang asked.
"We're seeing it too," Weiss confirmed.
"Let's follow it!" Ruby cheered as she soon chased after the robot which flew away into a certain direction.
"I can't say I like having no other options," Blake sighed as they followed after her. Eventually though they found what appeared to be an area where a bunch of toys were gathered, including a few toy cars with tracks already prepared.
"Oh hey, those are those electric tracks you see in toy stores." Yang said, picking up a small car with a peg on the bottom and putting it on the track, and it started moving along it. Meanwhile, Ruby was playing with the robot from earlier.
"Huh… that's a lot of toys." Gyro said, before picking up what LOOKED to be a simple red truck… until he started moving parts around and… "Huh… Optimus, neat." he blinked, looking at the figure of a fictional character he had seen a few times in comic books he would come across.
"There sure are a lot of toys." Blake said, inspecting a toy sword before putting it back down.
"I guess the name of this place isn't for no reason." Weiss shrugged, spinning a toy baton around her fingers a bit. "Still...we were hoping we'd find someone else here too," she sighed.
Ask and ye shall receive.
"Weiss? Weiss!" a voice called out, catching their attention and turning to the source of the voice...just in time for Weiss to be caught in a tight hug from an older girl who was very clearly her sister seeing as they looked very much alike.
"W-Winter?" Weiss gasped in surprise...and try to escape the hug.
"Oh thank goodness you're alright." Winter said in relief. She was wearing a white shirt underneath an icy blue coat, with a pair of dark blue jeans, and her hair was in a short ponytail.
"I think you might want to ease up on the hug. She's starting to look a little blue," came another voice, this time revealing to be from another older girl, this one with dark blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing her own pair of jeans and a simple orange t-shirt, behind her were a pair of Digimon, one looking like a robotic silver bird, and another looking like a tapir with a helmet on his head, a golden bangle on one of his front legs… and his back legs being replaced by a smoke cloud.
Winter blinked and quickly loosened her grip, letting Weiss breathe. "I apologize. I lost my composure for a moment there," she said.
"Can't say I blame you," the other girl chuckled a bit.
"So… that's Weiss' sister then." Gyro said matter of factly.
"Yeah, has to be." Yang nodded.
"Isn't that great Weiss? Your sister is here too!" Ruby smiled.
"...about as great as also being stuck in another world at any rate," Blake said in mild amusement.
"Don't need to be such a downer," Yang snorted.
"You're not wrong," Winter conceded, before looking at Weiss with a slight frown. "I know it's a little too late, but why did you follow that message?" she sighed.
Weiss blinked "Wait… you followed me Winter?"
"I saw you leave the mansion just as I was arriving, so I tried to catch up to you, but then I got a strange message on my own Scroll, some woman talking about a chance to choose my destiny or something of the like." Winter explained.
"Yeah, same here." the blonde girl said, raising a hand.
"Seems all of us got that same message then," Gyro frowned.
"If you got the Message...did you get these too?" Ruby asked, taking out her Digivice.
Winter examined the device with a slight frown. "Strange...I've never seen a device like this. It's like nothing Atlas has. Where did you get this?"
"Believe it or not, it WAS the Scroll that we got the messages through," Weiss said, pulling out her own Digivice.
"That's weird. Why didn't our Scrolls do that then?" the other girl said. "Oh, and where are my manners? I'm Saphron Arc. Nice to meet everyone," she smiled.
"Arc?" Blake blinked, before taking a closer look. "Are you by any chance related to a 'Jaune Arc'?"
Saphron's eyes widened. "He's my little brother, yes. I actually went into the subway system with him, but then we got separated while down in the huge hub section looking place and I ended on one of those Trailmon. Still kinda weird how they have talking trains here," she said.
"And we're not weird?" the metallic bird said in deadpan.
"I got used to you two." Saphron shrugged.
"That… yeah that makes sense." the tapir shaped Digimon said "We're pretty normal compared to a Trailmon."
"Everything in this world is a bit of an acquired taste if I'm gonna be honest," Gyro snorted.
"...he's not wrong," Yang snorted, while Neo chuckled in agreement.
"Speaking of which, we haven't introduced ourselves. I'm Bakumon, and this is Jazamon," the tapir shaped Digimon said.
Digimon Analyzer: Bakumon
Bakumon. Vaccine Type. A Holy Beast Digimon. This Digimon is said to be created on data about the mythical dream eating creature known as the Baku… but in actuality, he was just born in a medical computer made for detecting brain waves when sleeping. It uses it's powers to banish both nightmares and viruses, allowing for a calm rest. Special attack is Nightmare Syndrome, spitting out a cloud of undigested nightmares at the enemy.
Digimon Analyzer: Jazamon
Jazamon. Data Type. A Bird Dragon Digimon. Although he is both a dragon and a bird, he is as of yet incapable of flight, his wings only helpful in gliding. To compensate for this, his legs are strong enough to let him jump high, so that he can descend from the peak of his leap. Special attack is Kokon Pick, attacking the enemy with his steel beak.
"They've been travelling with us for a while now and while it was...strange at first, they are rather enjoyable companions," Winter said, cracking a small smile as Jazamon jumped up onto her shoulders.
"The feeling is mutual," Jazamon smirked good naturedly.
"Anyway, you've met my brother?" Saphron asked, deciding to stop that conversation train before it really started.
"We were travelling with him recently. We got separated so we're trying to find them again...just as soon as we get off this island or whatever it is," Yang said.
"That part is still work in progress though," Blake sighed.
"How did you get separated?" Winter asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Tried to save a mountain, but some jerks called the Shadow Warriors stole the data of it and we all fell down into the void that was left behind." Ruby said with a pout.
"...do we want to know why all of you were involved in something like that?" Winter sighed.
"Probably not, but with how things are going lately, you probably will find out anyway," Blake sighed. "Can we...just focus on trying to get off of here first?"
"Probably a good idea," Saphron admitted.
"In that case first things first, we should see if we can find any form of transportation to get off this location. If that fails, we should see if we can find a way to make this place land," Winter said.
"The only question is...where do we start?" Gyro asked.
Winter sighed. "I'll admit I'm still working on that," she conceded. "But I was thinking we should check that castle. It seems to be the central building of the area."
"As good a place as any. Okay, let's go there then," Weiss agreed with her sister...until the sound of a stomach rumbling was heard, to which Ruby awkwardly rubbed the back of her head.
"Uh...think we could find somewhere to eat first?" she asked sheepishly.
Gyro chuckled "Our last meal WAS at breakfast. Yeah, we should probably get something to eat first."
"But we need to hurry." Winter said with a slight frown.
"Ah, cool your jets, we're just looking for a snack. Not a five star buffet that would take us hours to eat through." Gyro waved her off.
Winter looked like she wanted to argue, but Saphron cut in. "Aw come on, a few minutes can't hurt. Sides, isn't it better to do things on a full stomach?" she reasoned.
Winter paused before sighing. "Very well, you make a good point. We'll take a short break then we'll search for a way to the ground."
"Fair enough," Gyro nodded, Blake and Yang doing the same.
With that the group went looking for a place to find food. What they found though…
Ruby gasped in delight as she saw… "It's a giant teddy bear!" she said, before practically zooming towards the overgrown yellow teddy bear… and she left red petals in her wake.
Yang just blinked a few times, before adopting a deadpan look "Oh you're kidding me, THIS is what unlocked it?"
"...well...that's...one way to unlock your Aura and Semblance," Blake said bemused.
"She's also just ran full tilt to a Digimon who just happens to look like a giant yellow teddy bear," Gyro pointed out.
It took a moment for them to process that before realizing what he was getting at. "Ack! Ruby come back here!" Yang gasped as they chased after Ruby as well as they could...just in time to see her being hugged back by the big teddy bear.
"False alarm, he seems friendly," Saphron sighed.
"Yeah, we were trying to tell ya that she was safe," Bakumon snorted. "That's Monzaemon. Probably one of the most harmless of Digimon in this world," he chuckled.
"Good to know, friendlies are nice." Gyro nodded, sighing in relief, before humming in thought and sliding close to Blake, whispering something to her, making her look thoughtful as well.
"Huh… I'll have to get back to you on that." she told him, making him nod.
As they relaxed, they saw Monzaemon start to play with Ruby, carrying her around, and holding her high in the air, until he was holding her by her sides over his head and running around, and with Ruby holding her arms out, clearly they were pretending she was a plane and flying around, which was pretty cute.
Winter… didn't view it like that.
"Put her down now!" she shouted as she charged forward.
Monzaemon stopped what he was doing, saw the incoming girl and...wow, his eyes actually popped out a little before he quickly put Ruby down, and in a single motion caught Winter mid-charge and tossed upward, launching her right over his shoulders and into a nearby tree. Once he was done, they all swore they heard a 'gong' sound in the background as Monzaemon put on a headband like some karate practitioner and bowed complete with his paws in the 'fist in palm' pose.
Gyro and the Digimon couldn't help but clap at what they'd just seen.
"Uh...is she okay?" Ruby asked, looking to where Winter landed.
"She'll be fine. The trees and leaves here are made of cotton," Monzaemon chuckled.
At that everyone else looked at the nearby trees, looking like they weren't sure if they wanted to test that out or not. Eventually they decided against it, while Weiss and Jazamon went over to check on Winter, who looked… completely dizzy really.
They could almost picture little birds spinning around her head.
Ruby's stomach chose that moment to groan again "Ooooh, I'm so hungry." she whined.
"Oh? In that case, I know a place where you can get some food." Monzaemon said "Come on, I'll show you guys where it is." he said, starting to walk, gesturing for them to follow him.
"Hang on a moment, we need to get Winter out of the tree," Weiss said.
"Here, I'll help," Saphron said as they quickly got Winter out of the tree.
"Okay, gotta admit, this is pretty sweet. Literally," Gyro admitted as currently they were gathered in a sweet shop that Monzaemon led them to.
"Not QUITE what I was hoping for when Monzaemon said he knew where to find food but...we can't really choose," Weiss sighed.
"Doesn't help we left our rations in the village...which isn't there anymore," Blake sighed in agreement.
"That's another thing I want to punch Grottomon and Kagutsumon for," Yang grumbled, before gaining a wry smile when she saw Ruby eating cookies...so fast she might as well have been inhaling them.
"Chew your food, kid," Gyro sweat dropped as he watched while eating some cookies of his own.
"But these taste so good." Ruby said happily, practically sucking the cookies up like a vacuum cleaner.
"She's gonna be okay, right?" Saphron blinked as she watched the little girl...devour...the cookies.
"That...doesn't seem healthy at all…" Winter frowned, by now having recovered from the little Judo Throw. She was miffed about what happened, but she could accept she was...too quick on the trigger...there.
"Don't worry. Ruby and cookies have always been like this," Yang chuckled.
"...if you're sure…" Weiss blinked, still looking at Ruby's ability to eat cookies rather uncertainly.
Eventually though, Ruby stopped, looking a bit stuffed as she just lied down on the floor with a content smile on her face.
"We came for a snack, Ruby had a full meal," Blake said dryly.
"How bad is the sugar rush going to be?" Saphron wondered, and Yang paused as she realised THAT problem now.
"Ah… we're gonna have to REALLY make her tire herself out." she said with a sigh.
"Joy…" Gyro deadpanned.
"...well I've lost my appetite," Weiss sighed. "Let's find a way off this island quickly."
"Right," the others agreed as they finished up whatever they were eating and soon exited the sweet shop...right after Ruby was able to get up anyway.
"Now then, let us continue towards the castle," Winter said as they moved towards said structure. At first things seemed to be straightforward, but along the way something...unexpected...barred their path.
"That's...not Monzaemon, is it?" Saffron gasped as baring their way was what LOOKED somewhat like a Monzaemon...only very very very wrong. His body was black with a red cape, he was covered in stitches, while his left hand was a large claw-like weapon.
"That's WaruMonzaemon! He's like an evil and corrupted Monzaemon!" Hyokomon said in shock.
Digimon Analyzer: WaruMonzaemon
WaruMonzaemon. Virus Type. A Puppet Digimon. Opposed to Monzaemon, WaruMonzaemon is a cruel Digimon who prefers to deliver pain and suffering rather than joy and laughter. Its left arm is equipped with the Bear Claws, a weapon fashioned out of claws he stole from another Digimon. His special attacks are Heartbreak Attack, releasing broken hearts from his body that fills anyone they touch with a sense of despair and hopelessness, and Custom Claw, growing his weapon to a larger size before attacking his enemies with it.
"Ok, so either he's the evil twin brother here, or somebody got to Monzaemon and corrupted him." Gyro said with a frown.
"What are you talking about?" Winter frowned.
"Oh right, we've never ran into any of those," Jazamon spoke up. "Yeah, not every evil Digimon we come across is well...Evil. Some of them were hit with the evil magic of the three who corrupted the world and turned evil. Doesn't make a difference though at the end of the day," he shrugged.
"Not for us, no," Gyro said, grabbing his Digivice. However, before any of them could make a move…
"Heartbreak Attack!" WaruMonzaemon called out, launching black hearts at them, which hit the kids and two teens.
"W-what…?" Yang said, confused, which then morphed into sadness as she fell to her knees and started crying and sniffling, something the other kids imitated.
"W-why are we so sad?" Blake managed to ask through her sniffling.
"That's because of his Heartbreak Attack, it takes away all your happy emotions and leaves you just with sadness." Bakumon said with a hard look.
"Well, he didn't get us!" Hyokomon said before drawing his sword, Jazamon and Bakumon stepping up next to him to join him, ready to attack WaruMonzaemon.
"I'll fight...as well…!" Winter growled, trying to push herself to her feet, but fell again as the emotional pain the attack caused her made that...very hard to do.
"Don't push yourself!" Bakumon said. "It's gonna take a bit of time to work through those effects!"
"We shall deal with him!" Jazamon agreed as the three of them charged forward with war cries.
"Wait...don't go head on!" Saphron tried to warn them but...well…
"Custom Claw!" WaruMonzaemon called out, his claw growing larger before he...swatted...the three Digimon aside, causing them to land in nearby trees with a trio of 'oof!'s.
"Well that was an...epic...fail…" Gyro couldn't help but say.
Right as he said that, WaruMonzaemon surged forward and grabbed Weiss, Blake, and Neo, soon carrying them off, the three unable to do anything while still under the effects of his attack.
"Bastard… get… back… here!" Gyro growled when he saw that, and he flipped from sad to angry "I made a fucking promise and I'm not breaking it!"
"Lan… guage…" Ruby said through her sniffles as she tried to get them to stop.
"Ruby I will find you a chocolate chip and strawberry cake if you stop crying right now." he shot back.
"Let's go!" the younger girl said as she immediately flipped to being full of energy.
"Oh you are NOT making her sugar rush even worse!" Yang suddenly snapped angrily at him, her eyes burning red… only to become lilac as she saw his smirk "Oh you sneaky devil…" she muttered in understanding.
He did that JUST to piss her off and make her kick down the sadness.
"Comeoncomeoncomeoncomeoncomeon!" Ruby said quickly and grabbed the two, starting to pull them along.
"And THERE'S the sugar rush." Gyro deadpanned.
"We're kinda forgetting Winter and Saphron though." Yang noted as she tried to ground herself, digging her heels in… but Ruby's sugar rush enhanced speed was just that high.
Gyro hummed at that, before grinning "Hey Ice Queen! You really gonna just lie there while your sister is in danger?!" he shouted back to Winter.
"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!"
"Release the brakes, NOW!" Gyro said quickly, not expecting his taunt to be THAT effective.
Thankfully, Yang complied and they were suddenly being dragged at full speed by Ruby...and conveniently it seemed they were headed for the castle too.
"Full speed ahead!" Yang grinned as Ruby was all too happy to do just that. However, as they were getting closer, the drawbridge was slowly being raised up.
"On second thought, brakes!" Gyro gasped...but Yang just grinned while Ruby was...she was actually going faster. "...oh shit…"
Ruby jumped right off the edge...and smashed right through the drawbridge's bottom, just in time for Winter, Saphron and the Digimon to start to catch up. "...lesson learned. No more sugar for that kid," Saphron sweat dropped, while Winter just nodded slowly in agreement, her rage currently forgotten in favor of a shocked look. "So uh...how do we get in?"
"...I hope you all know how to swim…" Hyokomon sighed.
"...someone hold me so I don't sink," Jazamon said with a 'this is gonna suck' expression.
Inside of the Castle grounds, Gyro was picking himself up after the crash landing "Alright… we're never doing that again." he said, dusting himself off "Hope I don't have a concussion."
Yang laughed sheepishly "Yeah… sorry, forgot you don't have an aura around you like me and Ruby do. Dad unlocked mine when he started training me."
Gyro just rolled his eyes, looking at the bouncing Ruby, before looking out at the courtyard, seeing a stunned group of Digimon that looked like they were made out of black lego blocks, in the rough shape of dinosaurs "Alright, I'll bite, what are you guys supposed to be?"
"We are BlackToyAgumon! And we will make all human children pay for abandoning us!" the BlackToyAgumon declared.
Digimon Analyzer: BlackToyAgumon
BlackToyAgumon. Virus Type. A Puppet Digimon. A toy Digimon that has been dyed black, infected with a virus that makes him bully children rather than play with them… no, that's it. There's no other information. His special attack is Toy Flame, firing a toy missile in the shape of a flame.
"We don't know how you just did that, but you won't stop us from reaching the Human World to exact our revenge!"
"Wait, they're aiming to go to the Human World?" Yang blinked in surprise.
"Apparently so. Though I don't think I need to say why I'd be...skeptical about this, not to mention the revenge plan they just told us," Gyro frowned. "Come on, let's deal with them!"
"You will not stop us!" the BlackToyAgumon said as they jumped together...and formed a series of tanks.
"...wow, they really ARE legos," Gyro couldn't help but say...right as the tanks rolled towards them.
"Look out!" Yang gasped as they were forced to evade or be turned into pancakes. "Okay, guess its time we got serious!" she said, the three of them readying their Digivices, but…
"Dynamic Entry!" came Bakumon's voice, as he and Jazamon flew through the air and impacted one of the tanks, drawing its attention.
"All of you get out of there!" Winter shouted, catching their attention...right before Jazamon and Bakumon were knocked aside, to which Winter followed up by creating several Glyphs which manifested into a pack of… pure white sabertooth tigers with bone plating and glowing blue lines on the bones.
"What the hell?" Gyro muttered, his jaw dropped.
"Yeah… that's a Grimm… though I think I remember Weiss telling me about this the other day, that her family Semblance can let her summon Grimm she's killed. I guess this is what she was talking about. That type is called a Sabyr." Yang explained.
"Well...that's a useful ability," Gyro blinked as the Sabyrs leaped onto the tanks, biting and clawing at them...only for the tanks to break apart into the BlackToyAgumon who quickly reformed it...and promptly ran the Grimm over. "...though not useful enough for this one," he sighed. "Okay enough playing around. Let's get them, girls."
"Let's go!" Ruby cheered, still very much on a sugar high.
"Don't be ridiculous! You're just kids!" Winter shouted at them.
Gyro and Yang paused, taking a moment to glance at each other, before they grinned and looked back at her "Watch us." With that they all had their Digivices ready which started to shine brightly.
(Play With the Will)
"Spirit...Evolution!"
In a burst of light, fire, and wind, Wolfmon, Agneyamon, and Fairymon emerged. The first two readied their attacks...before Fairymon charged forward faster than ever and...okay...she just rammed into the tanks and broke them apart like a bowling ball hitting bowling pins.
"...that's her on a sugar rush?" Wolfmon blinked in surprise.
"I...guess so?" Agneyamon also blinked, not really sure what to say.
The BlackToyAgumon didn't sit idly by as they soon reformed again...and took on the form of two giant robots. They swung their fists at Fairymon...who just zipped around them like a manic pixie and proceed to land hits all over and blast them with wind.
"...does she even NEED our help anymore?" Wolfmon asked dryly.
"...we be moral support for now?" Agneyamon offered.
"...fair enough," Wolfmon conceded with a shrug, before he looked behind himself and grinned, nudging Agneyamon with his elbow and nodding his head backwards, making her look behind and laugh.
Winter, Saphron, Jazamon and Bakumon were all staring with dropped jaws at them, while Hyokomon just had his arms crossed, looking smug with himself… probably a 'I told you so' moment for him.
Back with Fairymon, she'd run circles around the robots who were looking like they were losing balance and decided to finish it. "Tornado Gamba!" she called out, spinning in the air and creating a tornado which caused both of the robots to lose their footing and eventually slam into each other, the sheer force rattling both...and causing them to darken as their Fractal Codes were exposed.
Seeing that Fairymon knew what to do...even if her voice was still a bit faster than normal. "Now! Letthewindsblowawaytheevilthatrulesyourheart! FractalCodescan!" she called out...in fast forward speed as she scanned all the BlackToyAgumon in one shot. The two robots glowed, before they crumbled, the BlackToyAgumon now restored to normal ToyAgumon form, while Fairymon herself landed on the ground and reverted to Ruby...who fell over, right into Agneyamon's arms. "Wooo! That was fun!" Ruby cheered...and promptly fell asleep.
"...well that's one heck of a sugar crash," Wolfmon blinked.
"Well, guess in the end we weren't needed." Agneyamon shrugged, and was about to turn back into Yang, before the castle doors were thrown open, and two Digimon walked out.
One looked like a white toy of sorts, almost like a Lego minifigure even, who had been doodled over, giving him a semblance of a face with big cartoony yellow eyes inside dark holes, a crooked, open mouth snarl, some paper spikes tapped to his forehead and the sides of his head, and… something of sorts attempted on his chest, while his left arm had a piece of red cardboard attached at the shoulder with tape, looking like a circle with a failure of a swirl drawn on it, his wrist having a yellow piece that looked like some kind of creature with a horn on the nose, while his right arm had a red piece on the shoulder that had paper spikes on it, along with a blue piece on the wrist that almost looked like a dog head, and he was holding a marker, with an even larger one on his back.
"Okay...what the heck are you supposed to be?" Wolfmon couldn't help but ask.
"I am the great Omekamon!" the Digimon declared.
Digimon Analyzer: Omekamon
… Do we really have to? I mean, come on, look at this thing… ugh, fine, fine, I'll do it.
Omekamon. Data Type. A Puppet Digimon. A Digimon born from the data of a drawing software used by children aware of Digimon and trying to recreate one of the legendary Royal Knights with… obvious results. Most Omekamon are born wondering who they are, and will thus craft their own armors to create their identities… which would be admirable if it wasn't always based on another Digimon. Special attack is Graffiti Rocket, firing the rainbow marker on his back at opponents.
The other Digimon was… he looked like a teddy bear that was stitched back together… with several sharp knives and needles poking out of him, a tube going from a heart patch on his chest into where his mouth would be.
"Alright… and you…?" Agneyamon asked unsurely.
The Digimon scoffed "I am Porcupamon. The new ruler of Toy Town. And you lot are ruining my plans."
Digimon Analyzer: Porcupamon
Porcupamon. Virus Type. Puppet Digimon. Yes, again, we know, it's a lot. This one is actually more of a threat though. An extremely rare Digimon that was driven into the Dark Area by overzealous hunter type Digimon, it evolved in a violent and twisted manner. It's body is covered in sharp weapons and spikes to attack enemies with, though rumors say that is not it's actual body, and the real one resides within. Special attack is Madness Broach, stabbing the enemy with his sharp spikes.
"Plans?" Wolfmon asked with a tilted head.
"Yes. Plans. Plans that have been in the making for CENTURIES as I regain my lost power. Not that you lot know anything about that. No, I know who you are. The ones who defeated HIM. You have my thanks for that at least. He's always been too prideful for his own good if you ask me." he said.
Wolfmon and Agneyamon shared a confused look, before looking back at Porcupamon "Uh… what are you talking about?" Agneyamon asked.
Porcupamon sighed "Lucemon, of course. I know you might not have the memories of the ORIGINAL Warrior Ten, but you have their strength, diminished as it is. So, I will at least give you this much: Thank you for kicking his prideful ass. Nobody could ever stand it."
"Don't know what your beef is with this 'Lucemon' guy, but that's got nothing to do with us right now," Wolfmon frowned. "But if you're the one causing the problems in this town, then that makes it easy for us. We'll just have to kick your ass!"
"Tch. Didn't think they'd choose simpletons to be their hosts but whatever! You're in my way now, so I'll just have to remove you! Do it, slave!" Porcupamon ordered.
"Yes, master!" Omekamon nodded. "Now take this! Graffiti Rocket!" he called out, shooting the rainbow marker at them like it was a missile.
The two Warriors evaded, Agneyamon holding Ruby tight. The missile hit...and exploded into a mass of colors...which also left a small crater. "Okay...definitely don't want to get hit with that," Agneyamon blinked, before she quickly jumped towards where Winter and Saphron were. "Here, take care of her. We'll deal with these two," she said urgently, giving Ruby to Saphron before she quickly rejoined the fight.
"Madness Broach!" Porcupamon growled, trying to stab at Wolfmon who quickly evaded and blocked with his weapons.
"Licht Kugel!" Wolfmon countered with his own attack, pushing Porcupamon back, but the Digimon kept getting back up.
"I will help, master!" Omekamon declared...right before Agneyamon kicked him away.
"You're gonna have to deal with me first," she said.
"Very well, I shall defeat you for the master!" Omekamon declared and charged forward...only for Agneyamon to punt him back.
"You need help," she deadpanned as Omekamon just kept getting back up and other than his Grafiti Rocket, he...wasn't much of a threat if she was being honest. That and he just kept charging head first.
"Stop charging forward like an idiot and help me!" Porcupamon berated from where he was actually managing to fend off Wolfmon's assault, even as the Warrior of Light was slashing away at him with a rather impressive chain of attacks.
"Not to sound like this guy, but some help would be appreciated, yeah!" Wolfmon said to Agneyamon as he continued to press the attack, but Porcupamon continued to defend.
"On it!" Agneyamon nodded as she saw Omekamon aiming to try and help Porcupamon. Charging up her attack quickly, she charged forward. "Burning Salamander!" she called out, unleashing the flames at near point blank and supported with a strong punch right to the face, sending Omekamon...flipping...through the air and landing on the ground in a heap, Fractal Codes exposed. "Corrupted, evil soul...this Digivice will Purify you! Fractal Code, scan!" Agneyamon said as she quickly scanned the Fractal codes, to which Omekamon's body glowed brightly before the light subsided revealing Omekamon...looking pretty normal minus the damage he'd taken.
(End song)
"Ugh! Next time I take over a territory I shouldn't take over a territory of toys!" Porcupamon growled...right before Wolfmon kicked him away, causing him to hit a wall.
"End of the line. We can do this the easy way...or the hard way," Wolfmon said as Agneyamon joined up with him.
"I'm afraid I'll have to take the third option," Porcupamon glared, looking ready to fight...before he hit a section of the wall...and he was promptly launched into the air by a hidden...ejector platform?
"Wat?" was the flat reaction both Warriors gave at what just happened.
"I'll be back!" Porcupamon shouted as he flew through the air. "And when I do I'll have my...uh oh…" he trailed off when he flew...right off the edge of the flying island. "I regret nothing!" he shouted defiantly as he fell several stories through the sky.
"...well...that takes care of that I guess…" Agneyamon blinked.
"Eh, I'll take it," Wolfmon shrugged.
Right at that moment, somebody stumbled out of the front door of the castle, revealed to be Monzaemon, holding his head "Oooh… what happened? Last thing I remember some weird Digimon told me I would be doing as he said and then… I wake up here." he wondered, before Weiss, Blake and Neo ran back out.
"Guys!" Blake shouted, running over to them as Agneyamon and Wolfmon changed back.
"Glad to see you girls are alright." Gyro nodded, smiling in relief.
"What happened though?" Yang asked.
"Well, WaruMonzaemon was holding us captive, but just a minute ago, he turned back into Monzaemon and he freed us." Weiss explained.
"So, Porcupamon had corrupted him then." Gyro frowned "That he has that kind of power… we're definitely going to be seeing him again."
"Not looking forward to that." Yang grimaced.
After that, Omekamon finally awoke, and compared to his mind controlled self, he was much kinder and calmer, and revealed to be the actual leader of Toy Town.
For helping to free their town from Porcupamon, he offered to give the group a ride in their airplanes, taking them in the direction of the Forest Terminal.
Finally, they were getting closer to the answers they were seeking.
There we go!
Already you can see that things are a bit different.
Namely, Porcupamon there wasn't in the original show.
Who is he? Well... I'm sure you can take a guess with the big hints we gave you.
There's going to be quite a lot more changes from this point on, hope you're gonna enjoy them all, because...
The Legend Evolves.
