The Seventh War

by Paladin9800

What if the Digital world faced not a single mastermind, but an entire army that threatened the balance of Virus, Data, and Vaccine types ways of life? And what happens when even Jennai, the head scientist of the observers for the Digital world can't save the eggs of the chosen from Piedmon's invasion? Rated T for violence, some language here and there, and some violent imagery.

The 7th war

Chapter 13: Lord of the Volcano Part 1

Lava Ridge main path

Seth and his two Digimon friends have continued their travel through the zone trying to find any signs of life, "Hey Agumon would you happen to know why we haven't seen any other Digimon in this place yet? It's been about 3 hours since we began and no enemies, or wandering Digimon have appeared."

Agumon thinks on it and merely shakes his head, "Nope I have no clue, I would think the Dragon type Digimon in this area would be patrolling for intruders so we don't disturb their home, but I'm just as stumped as you."

Biyomon speaks up after thinking for a bit, "Indeed commander Leomon, the Digimon who trained me, said that their should be a strict but friendly Greymon in charge of this area of the island but I'm not seeing any sign of him yet. Or of any other Digimon that would work for him. He was even helping train Dragon type troops for the war last I heard before my mission to the 7 vices castle."

Seth continues to look around warily at the surrounding landscape that remains devoid of other Digimon while he also pulls out his Digivice to activate the radar function.

Meanwhile Agumon perks up at the new information, "Hey! Maybe if we find him I can get a spar with him, Greymon to Greymon! That way I can learn from a more experienced mon in the ways of fighting like a dragon type!"

Biyomon giggles as Agumon's enthusiasm while Seth continues to scan the area both with his eyes and his Digivice radar mode, "He would more than likely be happy to accept your challenge and for the chance to train a fellow Agumon evolution Digimon in combat, he takes his position and training methods seriously and with pride."

Agumon nods with a happy excited grin on his face about to speak again before a loud warning beep comes form the Digivice's radar function. The trio all look at the hologram map and see about 10 red spots all approaching them various directions in a beeline for them.

(Cue Fight!-Team Aqua/magma Pokemon (anime) music extended)

Seth draws his sword and shield out as he feels his emotions resonate with Agumon and Biyomon.

But before they can Digivolve they are all separated by a sudden explosion of ground beneath their feet sending Seth tumbling away in a safety roll, Biyomon to the skies barely catching herself with her wings to avoid crashing back onto the ground below, and Agumon barely landing safely on his feet on the edge of the path that was about to go into a river of hot flowing lava.

As all three look back at their original spot they see an 11th enemy that the radar missed originally.

Scanning it quickly Seth finds out it is called Magmadramon.

Magmadramon is a Champion level Dragon type Digimon that looks like a charcoal colored serpent with a lava red mask shaped like a dragons muzzle with two simple fins on either side of it's head, going down its body are horizontal lines of lava flowing between it's large magma rock scales ending in a tail that has a wide bonfire burning at the end of it. It has small claws that look closer to flippers going down its underbelly in intervals to show that it has developed a way to swim through lava or go through the magma encrusted ground.

Magmadramon roars out in challenge as it focuses its gaze upon Agumon who gulps at being in the center of this Digimon's attention.

Seth quickly runs up to the serpent like Digimon and slashes it's hide leaving a small gash in it's scales, this quickly brings it's attention back to Seth as it growls out angrily and prepares an attack to roast the puny Human into slag.

Biyomon was already airborne as she activates her new technique "Spiral charge!"

Coating herself in her spiral twister attack she rams into the jaw of Magmadramon as he rears back his head for his breath attack. Causing him to choke on his own attack as his throat expands briefly at his attack that backfired into his own body with no proper outlet available.

Agumon took this chance to land a "Cross fire!" attack that slashes across the belly of Magmadramon leaving deep gashes in the scales from the swift clawing jab.

Magmadramon looks to be getting fed up at being the trio's punching bag and staightens his body only for the trio to gulp and sweat nervously while they take cover as some of the scales of Magmadramon open up like missile silos.

"Lava Barrage!"

At that attack large globs of lava start shooting out from the openings to launch into the air and rain down like a strafing attack.

It hits all over the path and shoots sporadically into the air as Biyomon bobs and weaves through as many as she can. She gets hit once or twice across her belly and wings but manages to eke out only a mild amount of damage.

Seth dives behind a boulder just in time and covers himself with his shield as the lava hits all around him and also hits the boulder cover he managed to grab. His main complaint would be that his hand was starting to burn from holding a rapidly heating shield against a barrage of lava, but that is the fair reaction, "Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! HotHotHotHot!"

Agumon manages to flip and roll through most of the lava globs as he comes closer and closer to the pillar like body of Magmadramon as he is near the end of his attack. Agumon quickly manages to land below the serpent and readies his claws as he uppercuts. While at the same time his emotions reach a fever pitch for the need of protecting his team while needing more power and speed. He glows brightly causing Magmadramon to flinch at the sudden glare and cut off his attack.

Right as his attack ends and Biyomon and Seth can see back to their enemy, GeoGreymon has already risen to full height and manages to uppercut Magmadramon right in the jaw and onto his back.

Trying to rise form the sudden hit Magmadramon roars first in anger then in panic as GeoGreymon grabs the lava serpent's tail and lifts him up only to quickly slam him back down into the ground painfully 3 times.

As he does this Biyomon manages to get her second wind and starts charging her Spiral Charge while Seth drops his now red hot shield in order to pull out his Tamer cards and activates a combo on one of his partners.

"Vortex Beak! Power Boost!"

Biyomon's flaming spiral around her suddenly increases in power with the Vortex Beak having activated then the flames grow to twice their original output as the Power Boost card doubled her power for this attack.

She comes down yelling out her attack with all the power she can muster at this moment, "SPIRAL CHARGE!"

Magmadramon's eyes widen in growing horror at the large spiraling bullet of green flames coming down right at his head trying to squirm away only to find that GeoGreymon has not let up in his grip at all despite the serpent's best efforts to get away.

Biyomon comes crashing down straight into Magmadramon's head causing a large dust cloud and a huge release of data to result from the hit. The ground shakes slightly from the force of the flaming dive bomb and even Seth and GeoGreymon have to cover their eyes from the resulting dust cloud.

As she leaves a brand new smoldering crater where her opponent used to be with her entire body covered in soot and ash from her attack. Biyomon coughs twice to clear her lungs and then floofs her feathers out into a puffy mess to shake off the dust.

Seth looks into the crater to see a smoking Digi-egg that had lava patterns on it sitting in the center of the mess. He looks at Biyomon cleaning her feathers off with a flat expression, "Over kill much?"

Biyomon looks at Seth innocently with a coy smirk, "Hey I'm innocent mister 'I'm going to boost you with 2 very compatible cards', after all I didn't choose to use those cards together on my last attack did I?"

Seth opens his mouth to argue but can't find any fault in her logic and just prepares his sword and a spare shield for the rest of the coming enemies.

GeoGreymon chuckles at their interaction before he focuses once more taking a combat horse stance ready for the incoming 10 enemies approaching their position.

Biyomon takes the chance to Digivolve into her Birdramon form with a flourish of her wings as she takes to the skies for any incoming aerial opponents.

Coming towards them are 4 Tyrannomon, 4 Airdramon's, and 2 new Digimon that the group has not faced until now.

There are 2 Tuskmon in the incoming enemy group. Tuskmon is a Dinosaur type Digimon that looks like a green t-rex if it took steroids. It is heavily muscled and as it's namesake suggests it is covered in horns and tusks across it's body, its main features include a line of bone horns going down it's spine, and 2 red and black stribed tusks coming out of each shoulder. His main ability it to charge opponents and overwhelm them with his high attack and defense stats while supporting allies use their other abilities to finish off foes.

The 2 Tuskmon each have 2 Tyrannomon and 2 Airdramon as their rear guards for each squad.

GeoGreymon whispers to Seth, "Think we can take them on? Or should we surrender and see where this leads us?"

Birdramon glares angrily at each squad of enemy Digimon as she hers Seth take a calming breath as he goes into a thinking process.

So we have 3 tank types and 2 supporting airborne types per group, even if Birdramon can distract the 4 flying enemies that still leaves 6 ground bound enemies for myself and GeoGreymon to battle at once… Unless we do something very risky and managed to work in a raiding team I was in during my time in the game. I know this isn't the game but it's the only strategy that I can think of in this short time that has a chance of working.

Seth opens his eyes and readies himself to shout commands right as one of the Tuskmon shouts out, "Hey! Intruders! Come with us quietly and we will only rough you up enough to where you won't be a problem! We will take you to our new lord of this area! The new Dragon boss! The Lord of the Volcano! The- how many more titles does he have again?"

He asks suddenly to his fellow Tuskmon who looks up in contemplation briefly before shrugging with a confused growl.

Taking this chance Seth yells out, "Birdramon! Air disturbance now!"

Birdramon quickly grunts in acknowledgment as she flies up and releases her Meteor Wing attack where 2 fireballs hit each of the Airdramon causing them to roar in anger and begin to chase her down.

The ground based enemies all look shocked at the sudden attack and are two stunned to stop the charging GeoGreymon as he come in horns first into one of the 2 Tuskmon while yelling out "HORN IMPULSE!"

The Tuskmon gets impaled briefly on his horn as he is tossed up into the air above, GeoGreymon tilts his head back and opens his jaws with a "MEGA BURST" while Seth activates his power card Power Boost making the literal white hot beam of flames become twice as bright and twice as hot as it shears through the hole in Tuskmon's stomach that was leaking out 1' and 0's from the hit he just took. The fresh hole in Tuskmon caused him to suddenly shatter into data and leave his egg behind to fall gently to the ground a few meters away from the fighting.

The rest of their ground forces were stunned to have one of their apparent Lieutenants reverted within the first few seconds of fighting, only to realize that now their opponent was right in the middle of them and ready to be barbecued, Tuskmon goes up and bear hugs GeoGreymon with a "Rushing Horn!" the horns on his shoulders stab into GeoGreymon causing him to roar in pain, as he glances to Seth nearby ready with his next card while holding his bow and arrow set at the ready.

In the skies above the path

Meanwhile Birdramon had been barrel rolling and banking left and right constantly from the "Flare Bomb!" attacks from the pursuing Airdramon enemies. They were getting annoyed at her constant dodging and were finally fed up. They changed tactics to use their other main attack called "Tornado Wave!"

Birdramon saw the wall of wind fast approaching her and dove down fast, the wind was right above her as she was at a downward angle. The Airdramon moving too fast trying to catch her as they began to angel themselves down into dives to follow her as well. However that proved to be their undoing. Suddenly she unleashed her signature move.

"METEOR WING!"

The fireballs all launched out into the wind wave they themselves created causing the fire to absorb all the extra oxygen and expand to 3 times their size creating literal flying bonfires heading straight for the unfortunate dragons. They tried to back pedal or complete their dives to get out of the way but between the extra size and speed they gained form the wind, the fire quickly caught them all and cooked them, rather painfully, with each new bonfire landing causing a fresh wave of heat and burning sensations.

2 immediately reverted to their egg forms leaving only 2 Airdramon left with heavy burns and scorched scales left to battle the phoenix Digimon.

Birdramon smirked at her work and did a bird of prey move by flying up above them quickly only to dive bomb one of them with her talons out like razors, "Talon Tear!"

Her claws stabbed right through the burned and weakened scales of the Airdramon she caught as she also used her beak fangs to bite into the dragon's neck finishing him off by slamming him into the ground causing him to follow the same fate as his 2 comrades and revert into an egg as well.

The final one is shaking in fear at how effectively they were dismantled, as Birdramon takes to the skies once more to fight him, without either noticing a strange black bug on the inside of Airdramon's wing suddenly bite into him.

The Airdramon suddenly convulses in pain and starts to turn pitch black with crimson red wings as his eyes go from blue to glowing red as well.

Birdramon stops as her eyes widen in recognition to this new form, "A virus form! He somehow got corrupted and is more than likely powered up like that Apemon we fought a while ago! Dang it! I need to go back and warn Seth and GeoGreymon!"

Back with Seth and GeoGreymon

The Tyrannomon all release their "Blaze Blast" attacks at once and cover Tuskmon and GeoGreymon in a torrent of red hot flames. They keep it up for a good minute before cutting their attacks off.

As the smoke clears they are surprised to see only Tuskmon standing there like a statue made of charcoal as he puffs out black smoke from how burnt he is before he turns into a Digi-egg from all the damage he just took at once.

The Tyrannomon all look around after noticing that GeoGreymon is missing from the aftermath of their attack.

Only to suddenly notice a slightly burnt shield laying on the ground that seems to be moving slightly.

Agumon suddenly pops up from under it shouting, "Surprise!" and throws the shield right into a Tyrannomon's eye causing him to roar in pain as Agumon turns back into GeoGreymon with a huge right uppercut into another Tyrannomon's jaw.

Right as one of the remaining Tyrannomon gets ready to attack again he gets an arrow lodged right in the middle of his eye causing hi to go blind in the left eye, courtesy of Seth with his bow and arrows.

Seth smirks at how well their plan went and remembers how they talked about it.

Pause music: Flashback

While they are walking along Seth poses an idea to Agumon and Biyomon, "Hey guys I think we should consider something."

Both Digimon turn to him with curiosity in their faces.

Seth continues after getting their attention, "I think if the enemy should even grapple you or catch you in something like a bear hug, I think you should revert to your Rookie forms."

Both Digimon stop walking while gaping at his suggestion, "But Why?! That would make it harder to escape wouldn't it? And not to mention it would make us weaker in the first place."

Seth shakes his head quickly already with a counter argument, "Not exactly, imagine, they are holding onto your larger form and are ready to keep holding it, but what happens when a bird or dinosaur each the size of a small house suddenly shrink to smaller than a human?"

Agumon comes up with the answer this time, "They wouldn't be able to readjust their grip properly and we could slip free!… Right?"

Biyomon chuckles at his need for confirmation but nods, "I think that is what Seth is getting at."

Seth nods back, "Yep we just need to keep this in mind should you guys ever get grappled or stuck in a trap, it would be a good escape plan."

The two Digimon nod in agreement and resume their walking while Seth looks over his various power cards to plan a support combo for their escape plan.

End Flashback: Resume Music

And it worked like a charm as soon as the attacks came, GeoGreymon reverted to Agumon while Seth activated his newest support card, Braver Shield, this card summons a large tempered steel shield that is resistant to high heat or very cold temperatures, lasts until broken or for 2 minutes.

And based on that roar of pain from the shield bashed Tyrannomon very heavy.

Seth grins and looses a few more arrows at the eyes and mouths of the Tyrannomon group while GeoGreymon continues to punch, kick, and tail slam into them throwing a few of his Horn Impulse Attacks in there for good measure.

Soon the Tyrannomon group are all defeated and revert to their Digi-egg forms.

Right as they finish their fight, suddenly Birdramon lands next to them after getting out of her dive bomb.

(End Music For now)

Panting heavily from her efforts in getting back to her friends Birdramon tries to speak clearly to them about the coming threat, "Guys! *pant pant* We've got! *gasp* Corrupted Airdramon incoming! *ugh my lungs*"

Seth rushes over ready to use his recovery card on Birdramon while GeoGreymon turns around to Birdramon. Right as he does though GeoGreymon gets blasted back by a dark colored Tornado blast right into his chest pushing him into and through the same boulder that Seth had used for cover earlier.

Flipping end over end from the force of the blow GeoGreymon finally stops right on the edge of the trail where his tail ends up being a bit burnt by the heat of the lava.

Leaping up with a yelp of pain from his tail being boiled while also letting out a hiss at the pain throbbing through his chest he looks up to see the dark colored Airdramon already preparing a Fire Blast attack at him.

(Cue music Log Horizon: Utsukushiki Assassin Extended)

Birdramon takes to the air before Seth can finish activating his recovery card on her and focuses on using it on GeoGreymon from the damage he just took.

Birdramon activates "Talon Tear!"

But the Airdramon now has more speed and defense from the virus and thus manages to roll out of the way to where Birdramon only does a glancing blow that barely leaves a scrape on his scales.

Birdramon quickly tries to turn around for a second attack only to get a tail slammed into her gut and a pair of dragon's teeth in her wing as Airdramon quickly turned and launched his Tail Slam and Dragon Fang attacks at her.

Due to the pain she is now careening towards the ground, only to find herself caught in the strong arms of GeoGreymon as he unleashes his "Mega Burst!" while boosted by a Speed Boost and Power Boost card for both his movement and power.

The beam of flaming energy shot out faster than the corrupted Airdramon could move and it manages to catch his tail end in it making him give out a roar of pain. He growls after the pain and unleashes his ultimate technique, "Mega Twister!"

A huge 80ft tower of rushing wind is created and comes towards the trio extremely fast. GeoGreymon quickly places Birdramon behind him as he rushes forward to try and tank the attack in it's entirety.

Seth sees this and activates a combo set on GeoGreymon using both Dragon Scales and Barrier to absorb as much damage as possible so that GeoGreymon can survive this attack.

Birdramon sits up after recovering from the two attacks she endured right as the twister hits GeoGreymon head on with him standing in the middle of it absorbing all the damage it could deal.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!" was the only sign that GeoGreymon was still fighting inside the attacks radius. Birdramon's heart hurt at hearing her friends pain and begins to rise up as Seth is trying to get a bead on Airdramon and not be blow away from the force of the winds coming off the twister.

The winds end just as Seth finally sees Airdramon clearly once again, the dragon already beginning to charge up his next attack as the large orb of flames is hovering in front of the dragon's maw while it continues to expand in diameter coming close to 15ft large.

Birdramon rushes over to GeoGreymon as he falls to his knees from the pain he had endured from the twister, his body is covered in bruises, cuts, and gashes as his health is now dipping close to 22% based on the Digivice's readings.

GeoGreymon falls forward onto his stomach from the pain and reverts to Agumon who is now covered in the same wounds as GeoGreymon was only adjusted for his size.

(Pause music)

Birdramon lands quickly next to him and nuzzles him with her beak to make sure he is as okay as he can be.

Agumon grumbles, "Ouch… be careful Biyo, I'm really hurt."

Birdramon growls out, "Why?! Why did you take that last attack like that?"

Agumon laughs weakly with one phrase escaping him, "Cause I will do what I can to spare those I care about as much pain as possible."

Birdramon has small tears in her eyes as she lets those words sink in, then hears him say one more thing before unconsciousness claims him fully, "Besides I care about you a lot already, Seth is my brother in arms, you are someone special… to… me… *ugh*"

His eyes close and his breathing evens out as Birdramon closes her eyes to let cold fury and righteous anger take over her features. Opening her eyes there is a literal blaze in them as she shoots off the ground towards the Dragon who did this to her friend, partner, and perhaps the one who has claimed a special place in her heart.

Seth yells out at her, "C'mon Birdramon! Let's get this guy! For Agumon and his efforts in keeping us safe!"

Birdramon roars out both in agreement and in challenge towards their foe, "AGREED!"

(Resume music)

Airdramon was ready to inhale his Mega Blast attack to let it out at full force only to have his orb of flames be burst by Birdramon dive bombing through it like an arrow popping a balloon. He flies back quickly in confusion and shock as Birdramon is already turning in her pursuit of him as Seth activates Steel Feathers and the Speed Boost cards.

Immediately Birdramon does a full bore body blow at high speed while her flames have a metallic sheen to them as she slams into him at speeds bordering 250 MPH.

Airdramon loses all air in his lungs as he is slammed down hard by the phoenix literally burning with a hot anger. He rights himself right as Seth activates a third card Wind Barricade that surrounds him in an orb of gale force winds that start to chip away at his currently damages scales from both GeoGreymon's attack and Birdramon's Attack.

He is being cut up along his body, tail, wings, and head, while Birdramon prepares her signature move, "Meteor Wing!"

Shooting out 15 large Fireballs this time s opposed to her normal 10. they all fly true and hit the orb of wind currently cutting up Airdramon turning it into an orb of flaming wind that burns him as well as cuts him now.

Causing him even greater pain he starts to fall towards the ground right as the attack ends thinking he can play dead until he lands to quickly escape, only to open his eyes right as Birdramon is there with her talons reared and ready to strike right into his head.

His last words being, "Oh Crap baske-!"

right as his head is seared from his body causing 1's and 0's to go flying instead of blood as his body breaks down into data and reverts into a normal colored red and white dragon Digi-egg.

(End Music)

Panting hard from the exertion Birdramon lands as she reverts into Biyomon who is sweating bullets now from all the work she just did while Agumon limps over to her with the help of Seth helping him up.

Agumon can't help but comment, "Guess that last guy really lost his head huh?"

Being met with a tired deadpan from Biyomon and being promptly dropped to the ground by Seth for the terrible pun he chuckles in pain while saying, "Ugh I deserve that."

Biyomon smacks him on the head in anger.

"OW! What was that for Biyo-?" right as he was angrily snapping at her she just as quickly hugs him close while crying gently.

"I already told you to stop being reckless you idiot, I don't want to lose a second family to the 7 vices. You hear me?" She says in a scolding manner.

Agumon hugs her back as he softly replies with, "Roger that ma'am."

Seth hugs them both as well, "Don't worry as long as we watch each other's backs we will be able to stick around for a good while longer Biyo. Agumon and I won't be going anywhere."

Crying happily into the hug Biyomon hugs them closer as the rest of the groups chuckles together at surviving that encounter.

"GUUUUUUURGLE!" only to abruptly be interrupted by two very hungry Digimon stomachs, causing both to blush in embarrassment after such a touching moment between them.

Seth laughs in response as he begins to bring out the cooking gear for a well deserved lunch for them all.

In the skies above Lava Ridge Zone

As the group recuperates they fail to see that a black cicada like insect is flying away from them after having infected the Airdramon with it's virus.

As it was losing speed it was suddenly grabbed by a white hand with a golden bracelet on its wrist.

Angemon had returned after patrolling the island while training himself up better as seen by his body now having slightly bigger and more toned muscles with his wings looking stronger and his staff now being made of a more metallic material versus the original wooden one he had before.

The cicada struggles weakly in his grasp for a few seconds as he is taking a video of it to send to Sorcerymon, but after those few seconds it suddenly stops, turns gray and turns into dust in his hand.

Humming to himself in thought he makes a note, "Sorcerymon looks like this virus beetle had some sort of self destruct program for after it unloads it's virus payload, no wonder we couldn't find any sign of what caused those other Digimon to become corrupted. I'll keep an eye out for more of them in this area as you requested Angemon 0098 out."

He closes the video and sends it off to Sorcerymon as he looks down with a small smile at the happily eating trio below him. "Looks like they are doing alright so far, I better see what I can do to make their journey a little bit easier to get to the bottom of this problem."

With that he takes off towards the volcano and starts searching for other corrupted Digimon in the area.

7 Vices HQ

Devimon is walking down a corridor with several fresh wounds strewn across his body as he makes his way back to his… ally? Comrade? Fellow schemer?

We'll go with fellow schemer.

Anyway he enters Wisemon's study as he seems to be uploading a virus program of some sort into some digital cicadas.

"Hey! You wanted to see me Wisemon?" Devimon yells out in annoyance and irritation. He was just getting into the groove with his most recent training and was suddenly called here for no other reason than, 'Wisemon summoned him'

Wisemon makes sure the virus is fully uploaded before sending the cicadas out through a small portal he has prepared for quick one way trips to File Island where Holy Angel Palace was located, in order to send them to random parts of the island he made sure to set the coordinate generator to random.

As that was happening he turns to Devimon with his usual nonchalant attitude.

"Yes I did my good friend, I had made a recent experiment I was hoping you could help me oversee? It might make some good observations for you to fight off your targets."

Interested in getting a chance to observe how that human tamer and his two 'pets' were doing Devimon leans in slightly, "I'm listening."

Wisemon starts explaining to him his recent achievements of creating a corruption virus that targets vaccine and data type champions and turns them into Virus types, or if they are already virus types who are good natured turns them into their opposite nature while giving them a power boost in exchange for their sense of self.

Devimon listens and becomes even more interested, "Then why not use this power boost on me or our troops? I get that this is good for us as it turns Seraphimon's own army against itself, which is useful, but why not use it to power up our own soldiers at the same time?"

Wisemon chuckles at the question fully expecting it, "Well I did try that on an Ogremon while his squad of 7 was there buuuuut~"

Devimon makes an annoyed growl as he presses further, "Buuuuuut~ what?!"

Wisemon explains the results, "He went berserk, he couldn't tell his own squad mates from the Digimon he was supposed to be fighting and he made them all revert to their Digi-egg state by beating them all, and in the end he exploded into his own Digi-egg."

Devimon who was eyeing the Virus on the computer and thinking how much he could boost his strength with it paused and eyed Wisemon, then took a step back from the computer now more wary of this new strain.

"Hmmm that's a fair reason not to use it on us, but why should I go observe your new experiment?"

Wisemon smirks as he hands Devimon a recording orb and preps the teleporter to Lava ridge, "Because this Digimon actually kept his sense of self and is currently ruling an entire zone after beating the previous lord Greymon."

Devimon smirks with a single raised eyebrow, "Well well, a mon after my own heart I see, very well consider my interest piqued I'll go look after your little science experiment, but I better be able to enjoy myself."

AS he goes through the portal Wisemon looks at the radar to see Devimon's signal now over Lava Ridge zone along with a Tamer signal approaching the volcano as well, "I'm sure you will my sucker of a friend! Hahahahahaha!"

He goes back to creating more cicadas as he declines to let Devimon know about the strong Angemon signal currently patrolling the volcano as well.

After all if he doesn't fight stronger foes, how will he grow into his new general for our schemes? Wisemon thinks to himself as he chuckles in the darkness of his personal study.
