YYYYOOOOOOOOO! The 3rd Dragneel, back with another awesome chapter of Legend of the Digi Fairy. I hope you guys are doing good, I'm doing aight. Especially considering the next official arc that's happening right now with Sun Village. I will try to have some awesome moments, especially considering more Dark Tamers will fight. So, about last chapter….wow, you guess…...wow, you just figured it out right there huh? That's cool…..I guess?
PantherWarrior21: Yeah, it would honestly be weird with that, especially with the concept of DNA Digivolution already planned for the future. Yeah I agree, I will try to give more screentime for the Celestial Spirits, but I haven't planned for Doctor to steal the spirits. You will see in the future for Taichi. Look, please just use ONE account to ask your questions cause it is annoying.
Nickjudy72: I've never even heard of ClavisAngemon, yet now I want him in, thanks. Look, I….am not planning on adding planet-destroying Digimon, so no Galacticmon. Don't know about the time thing.
Tigerdancer21: Hmmmm, that would be interesting for those two. Okay, I actually like the Torturers. Dude, you really have a messed up mind, not that I'm complaining though. Nah, Strabumon is somewhere else, spoilers. I actually plan on introducing that place one day.
ENDDRAGON369: Wow…...I guess I wasn't so subtle on that huh?
Sanedimentio: Yup, you right.
Ak-Jaidyn: For the love of Christ, I'm not planning on doing that, I'm sorry.
Wargreymonxtreme11: I guess you aren't wrong, but don't forget there are other villains, especially the Master. Wow, a brothel…...I hate that I am actually considering that lol. RPG, what?
White Lantern Oath 009: Yup, I'm glad you like that idea. As for Black Agumon, it will be revealed way later on.
Breathless: Thanks man, I try my best. Actually, with the Orbital Cannon the Magic Council has, I can still do the Diaboromon arc. Tai's appearance will be explained after Sun Village, and thanks for telling me about Veemon. While they're origins aren't exactly like ninjas, they are the stealthiest team of the D-Warriors. Trust me, Vex will have more plans and yes, he looks like Vanitas from Kingdom Heart Birth By Sleep.
BanRedfox: I know, lol. That's why I like Warrod. Oh yeah, Tai and Black Agumon were a nice surprise I added, and hopefully you'll like them.
EH-01: Yeah, it's gonna be awesome.
To recap: Natsu and the D-Warriors began to make their way towards Sun Village in order to find the strange signals while Fairy Tail had met with one of the four Emperors of Ishgar Warrod, who was…...a lot more different than they expected. He told them of how Sun Village was frozen and it was their job to investigate. As they were near the Village, they were unexpectedly greeted by Natsu and Agumon, who introduced them to their friends. Because their goals were the same, the two groups agreed to team up. Back with Warrod, he was greeted by a stranger he referred to as Tai. Who are these people, and will Fairy Tail and D-Warriors figure out what the hell is going on? Let's find out!
(Play Nibun no Ichi by BACK-ON)
"Hitori ja nai" bokura tsunagatteru kara
Asu e to fumidashitaku natta nda
The sun begins to rise from the horizon, hovering over Magnolia as Agumon stands on top of a cliff, looking at it in wonder.
Sorezore no yume no iro wo tsunai de
A hand was placed on his head, ruffling it as he smiles to the left, revealing it to be Natsu.
Kono sora ni azayaka na niji wo kakeyou!
The Dragon Slayer then looks at the sun as it hovers over both of them. The title of the story appears overhead.
Kore to itte torie mo nai
Rettou kan to aruite jishin datte nai
Vex is seen reading from a large green book as Gaomon walks up with a tray and tea. The black haired male smiles as he accepts the tea and reads the rest of the contents to his partner.
"Tte yuuka sore de tanoshii no?" tte
Akame stands on top of the guildhall, looking at the moon while the wind blew gently passed her, her long hair flowing with it like a river.
Kimi wa waratte boku wo oikoshiteku…
Renamon materializes behind her tamer before the two disappear into the wind.
Kokoro no naka de hito ni naru to Flash back!
A steel sword spun in the air before Haru caught it, with Guilmon hugging him from behind while smiling as the Crest of Miracles appeared behind them.
Nara shinkuro sasete Mash up!
Ichigo swung Zangetsu before stabbing it on the ground, with Terriermon landing on his left shoulder while throwing a peace sign and the Crest of Reliability appears behind them.
Kimi to nara dekasou sa Right now!
Tsubaki threw three kunai as Falcomon flew over her and the Crest of Sincerity appeared behind them.
Ready set go!
Megan and Sarah go back with back, with both their Pawnchessmon standing proudly in front of them.
"Hitori ja nai" tte omoeta toki kara
Doctor spins in the air before he throws a kick at Ichigo, who blocks it with Zangetsu, creating a small shockwave. Akame and Haru clash blades with both Kurome and Yuuki.
Kanaerare sou na ki ga shita nda
Yukio creates a Digital field around Vex and Tsubaki while Callum slashes a green energy wave at Natsu.
Kawaranai itsumo no egao no mama de
Lucy puts her hands over her heart before disappearing in the shadows as Flamemon reaches out for her before screaming, engulfing his whole body on fire before a new figure punches through it.
Kimi wa boku no te wo tsukan de arukidasu yo
Erza and Gray appear back to back, with two smaller figures standing in front of them.
"Futari nara" fukanou nante nai sa
Gaomon digivolves into Gaogamon before launching a Spiral Blow, then Renamon turns to Kyubimon and uses a Fox-Tailed Inferno, followed by Terriermon evolving to Gargomon and launching a barrage of Gargo Pellets. Guilmon evolve to Growlmon and unleashes a Pyro Blaster while Falcomon becomes Peckmon to throw several Kunai Wings, and finally Agumon turns to Greymon to launch a Nova Blast.
Sou omoeta no wa kimi ga ita kara
Passing Greymon was a large devil-like monster that extended its arm towards the Tamers.
Boku ni nai tsuyosa to kimi ga motte nai
Natsu places a hand over his Crest of Courage as his whole body in engulfed in an orange aura. Opening his eyes, he charges at Callum, who has a green aura surrounding him.
Chikara wo kasanete tobitatsu yo…
The two clash three times before Natsu reels his right fist back, with Callum doing the same before their attacks collide, creating a large explosion.
Tachidomaru na Don't stop!
Robert turns around with Wormmon on his shoulder while smiling.
Soba ni iru kara Don't cry!
Digitamamon jumps out of the kitchen while 'holding' a spoon and knife and giving an eye smile.
Kimi wa mou hito ja nai!
Type A looks over his shoulder and grins while Calumon rides on his right shoulder, waving happily at the audience. Tai pulling up his goggles while smiling.
Everything's gonna be alright, alright!
Natsu and Agumon high five each other before running off with Happy flying right behind them while all their friends are standing behind them.
Shock. That was the only emotion aside from joy Warrod Sequen was feeling as he stared at the brown haired male, along with his blue companion. "Ummmm, Warrod?" The male, known as Tai, asked the tree man, a little creeped out at how his friend was staring at him.
"You think there's squirrels messing with his nut?" Veemon joked, getting a blank face from his friend.
"Nah, I don't think that's i-AAHH!" Before Tai could finish, he and Veemon were suddenly pulled into a tight hug by Warrod, who had literal streams coming out his eyes.
"MY FRIENDS HAVE FINALLY COME BACK!" Warrod began spinning the duo around while laughing.
"Warrod."
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE COME BACK AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!"
"Warrod."
"AND DID YOU GET TALLER?!"
"WARROD!" The tree man looked down, only to see Tai's blue face due to the lack of oxygen. Veemon was in the same spot, though because his face was naturally blue, it was kinda hard.
"Oh, I'm so sorry my friends." Warrod released his friends, allowing them to gasp for sweet air. "I guess I was too excited."
"No, REALLY?" Chuckling at his joke, Warrod kneeled down and patted his shoulder. "Man, you really did get old."
"Yeah? Well you don't look like the same boy I knew back then." It was true, Tai was the same 12 year old he met all those years ago. He looked to be about 19 and stood at 5'8, but the thing that he kept were his goggles.
"And Veemon, you looks the same."
"Hey! I grew a few inches!" The blue creature crossed his arms while looking away, getting the others to chuckle.
"Come, you two must be hungry." As if on cue, Tai and Veemon's stomachs began to growl. "Follow me."
'With team Fairy Tail/D-Warriors'
We return our attention to the team of Fairy Tail and D-Warriors. Both groups reached a frozen city, the same one Warrod told them about. Nothing was left unfrozen: the bell tower, the buildings, and even the trees weren't spared. "Wow, it's hard to think something can freeze a whole city and everything around it so perfectly." Lucy said in astonishment.
"It is really weird." Flamemon muttered to himself, staying close to Lucy.
"But where the hell is everyone?" Ichigo asked, not seeing a single hint of life anywhere.
"Do you think they got out in time?" Haru asked Guilmon, who shrugged.
"Warrod said the people were frozen, but where are they?" Erza asked out loud. Natsu and Agumon turned the corner…..only to see something in front of them.
"Guys!" Everyone turned…...only to gasp at what they were seeing. Standing over the group…...was a large, frozen humanoid figure, looking in the air as if they were trying to scream. To say all of them were shocked would be a HUGE understatement, especially since there were more 'giant's not too far away.
"GIANT!" Natsu, Happy and Agumon shouted cartoonishly with their arms in the air. "GIANT!" They pointed at another one. "GIANT!" They pointed at Sarah and Lucy's chest. "GIANT!" Then they pointed at Akame, Megan and Tsubaki's chests. "GIANT!" Then finally, they pointed at Wendy's chest. "Tiny." They threw their arms in the air one last time. "GIANT!"
"...were you guys talking about me?" Wendy asked, suddenly feeling self conscious
"R-Robert told us that this was a village full of giants, but I never thought it was true." Tsubaki said in amazement and shock. Vex walked up to a foot as he touched it, narrowing his eyes.
"Weird, what kind of ice magic could do something like this?" Vex asked. Gray on the other hand was staring at the ice with a serious expression as it reminded him of…...Ur. His teacher, someone who cared from his and Lyon like they were here children. He remembered how her stripping habit became his, how she taught him everything about Maker magic and…...how she died, protecting them from that damn bastard Deliora. If he hadn't been so careless, maybe…..maybe she would've still been alive. She could've made up with Ultear, who also sacrificed her own life to save him and everyone else from the Dragons. Why? Why did everyone have to sacrifice themselves for him of all people?
"Hey Gaomon, I found your cousin!" Terriermon called out while standing on the back of a large frozen dog.
"Funny." Gaomon said blankly.
"We should try to melt the ice first." Megan suggested with her arms crossed.
"I'm on it!" Natsu unleashed a wave of fire from his hands, hitting the foot of one of the giants. "A major case of hot foot should get them moving for sure!"
"Go Natsu!" Happy and Agumon cheered on Natsu as he continued to blast his flames on the foot…..only after a few minutes, it did zilch.
"Are you kidding me?!"
"This ice seems to be too thick to melt." Falcomon theorized.
"Warrod told us this wasn't normal ice." Gray said as he began sensing out the ice. "This is weird. I've never felt this kind of ice before. The magic power inside is bizarre."
"So we can't crack it from the inside, or melt it from the outside." Erza rubbed her chin, trying to come up with a new plan. White Pawnchessmon walked around before he noticed something on the ground. Looking closely, the little Digimon quickly ran to Sarah, pulling on her arm.
"Huh, something wrong Pawnchessmon?" She asked as her partner pointed at the ground. Walking up to the spot he was pointing at, Sarah's eyes widened in shock. "Guys, look!" Everyone turned to Sarah, who was on one knee, examining the ground.
"Sarah, what's-" Before Megan could continue, her eyes, as well as everyone else's eyes widened in shock at the sudden discovery…..or a pair of footprints. They looked like they were aimed forward, more specifically towards the center of town.
"Footprints." Renamon said with narrowed eyes.
"So someone WAS responsible for freezing this place." Guilmon sniffed the ground a bit.
"It smells like someone was here a while ago." Guilmon said.
"Think we can't find them?"
"No, I don't think so." Little did anyone know, they were being watched from the distance.
"It seems like the D-Warriors, as well as a group from Fairy Tail has arrived." Callum said, his attention was more focused on Natsu than the rest.
"We could take them down right now if you want." Yuuki said with a smile, to which Callum shook his head.
"No, with Titania and Salamander with them, our chances of winning are slim to none."
"Then what shall we do Callum?" Dobermon asked. Luckily, Callum didn't need to think for long as from another tower, three figures walked into the light.
"Well well, some uninvited guests." A cool voiced called out, getting everyone's attention. They saw three men: one with a strange head carrying a massive fist-like hammer, one with a larger sword on his back, and one with a sniper in hand. "Every job has its shockers." The gunner, who had silver hair, said with a smirk.
"Didn't expected a bunch of kids and their pets though." The one with the sword said with his arms crossed.
"Get lost, ya dig?" The one with the weird head said.
"Who are you?" Erza demanded as everyone got in a stance.
"A treasure hunting trio baby."
"The Sylph Labyrinth guild."
"Ya dig?!"
"I've never heard of a treasure hunter guild."
"Wizard Guilds aren't the only things that exist Wendy." Vex narrowed his eyes at the three men. "Now, would you mind telling us why you're here?"
"Sorry kids, but we've had dibs on the treasure here for a while now. Why not take your pets and go play somewhere else?"
"Yeah? Come down and say that to my face!" Terriermon gestured towards them to come….only for Ichigo to smack his head.
"Now's not the time." The orange haired male then glared at the men. "So, were you the ones who froze this place?"
"Please, not even we have the power to freeze an entire town, but we're getting that treasure first."
"We don't care about the treasure, all we're here to do is help these giants be free." Megan said, trying to reason with the men.
"I think you should leave before I'll make you target practice."
"I'd like to see you try." Sarah summoned her own rifle, as if challenging the silver haired man.
"Then that means you ARE trying to get in our way!" The silver haired man calmed down while glaring down at the group.
"I don't think any of you have heard of the Eternal Flame that's burned in this village for centuries. Even the most novice treasure hunters know that those flames are an S-Class treasure, it's legendary. But thanks to the giants that guard this place, no one's been able to get to the flames."
"But the big guys were turned to ice, and any good treasure hunter knows when to use an opportunity when it knocks, ya dig?"
"So now, we're taking the Eternal Flame while the gets good." Everyone gave the trio a deep glare. To think they would use something as horrifying as the sudden freezing of Sun Village just to take their flames was beyond disrespectful.
"If you take the flames, then this village dies." Akame said in a cold tone.
"You don't sound like treasure hunters, more like common thieves!" Lucy adde, making the trio blink.
"We're taking the flame, whether you like it or not. All's fair in love and war!"
"Ya dig, now scram!"
"We don't have time playing with these kids. Let's just swipe the treasure and get out of here before these wizards decide to butt in."
"Even if you get to the Eternal Flame, there's no way you can free it." To Vex's surprise, they smirked.
"Underestimating a Treasure Hunter is a bad move kid. The ice won't be any trouble since we know how to melt it."
"You gonna make us guess? What is it?" Natsu asked as the sword wielding Treasure Hunter pulled out an orange vial with light blue liquid.
"With Moon Drip."
"WHAT?!" Wendy, Carla, the D-Warriors and even the Digimon looked at the original members of team Natsu as they screamed in shock.
"That's a blast from the past." Happy said.
"Hang on, you know what that is?" Gaomon asked with a raised brow.
"A long time ago, my old friend Lyon used it….to try and free Deliora, one of Zeref's demons, from an ice spell my Master Ur used." Okay, now it was the D-Warriors' turn to look in shock. However, just as everyone turned back to the Treasure Hunters…...they were already running.
"It's been fun/later losers/ya dig!"
"Akame, Tsubaki, go after them. We'll catch up." The two females and their Digimon nodded at Vex before they began to run towards the Treasure Hunters at impressive speed. "Come on, let's go."
"It would be better if we split into groups." Everyone nodded before they split up into three groups: Natsu, Agumon, Happy, Sarah, White Pawnchessmon, Wendy, Carla, Haru, Guilmon, and Gray ran to the left while Ichigo, Terrriermon, Lucy, Flamemon, Vex, Gaomon, Megan, Black Pawnchessmon, and Erza went right.
"Well, how's that for perfect timing handsome?" Callum sighed before standing up.
"Come on, we'll surprise them. Devimon should be at the Eternal Flame soon." With that, both humans and their Digimon disappeared.
'Above Sun Village'
Unknown to everyone below, there were others who seeked the Eternal Flame. A large winged creature with one large eye and sharp fangs was flying over the frozen forest, carrying two figure. "Looks like our work is cut out for us." A rough voice said to his colleague. He was a muscular man with a high ponytail, a mask covering his mouth, and a white shirt with a strange symbol on his back. "It's annoying, but we should deal with these pests first. It's part of the job after all."
"Thieves are irrelevant. Focus on the wizards first, they're the greatest threat." A calm, feminine voice said behind his back. She was a slim woman with black hair, reaching down to her lower back, while mostly left loose, being parted in the middle of her forehead and sporting two bangs framing her face and going down below her shoulders, her hair is also tied into a pair of bun-shaped Dango loops at both sides of her head, and a braid is present some inches below each of such loops. She also had tan skin and dark eyes, along with black lipstick and very short eyebrows. Her attire consists of a band around her upper chest, with her lower chest partially exposed and two straps connecting the band to a collar around her neck. Over it, she wears a brown fur-lined coat. Her lower dress is slit near her left leg, and she wears with high heeled boots with thigh high socks. This is Minerva Orland, former member of Sabertooth.
"I guess you got a point there. But what about those creatures with them?" A chuckle escaped Minerva's lips as when began fanning herself with her fan.
"Don't worry about their little pets. At best, they're just all bark and no bite." She lost her smile as she glared at Fairy Tail, more specifically ERZA, the one who humiliated her during the Grand Magic Games. "Fairy Tail….."
"Who, you mean all those wizards?"
"You've never heard of them? Just how big is that rock of ignorance you've been living under?"
"The outside road doesn't concern you."
"It doesn't matter. All that does matter is that my chance for vengeance is coming even sooner than I had hoped." A dark smile crept on her face as her bangs shadowed her expression. "The underworld has its perks."
"Whatever, we got work to do." The larger man stood up. "Let's go newbie."
"M'lady." He raised a brow as she put a hand on her hip. "Anything else and it'll be your head in a bowl."
'With the Treasure Hunters'
"These wizards are persistent!" The silver sniper shouted as he and his friends kept running.
"Aww man, just run!" The swordsman shouted. From the trees, three blurs can be seen jumping off branch after branch, getting closer to their opponents.
"Tsubaki, Bolas!" Akame shouted, getting her friend to nod as a light yellow aura surrounded her hand, summoning a black bolas in her hands. Jumping off another branch, Tsubaki threw the bolas at the Treasure Hunters, hoping to stop them.
"Ah no you don't!" The swordsman pulled out his large sword before he cut the bolas in half. The weird looking Treasure Hunter stayed with his friend as the sniper kept running. "You two are getting really annoying, you know that? Now we gotta take you down."
"Ya dig?!" The weird man pulled out his large hammer as Akame and Tsubaki landed just a few feet away from them. Pulling out his large fist-shaped hammer, the weird man slammed it towards the females, who jumped out of the way as he hit the ground, shards of ice were scattering.
He was able to destroy part of the ice. What kind of weapon is that? Tsubaki and Akame thought at the same time as they pulled out their weapons, Akame pulled out her katana while Tsubaki summoned a pair of chain scythes.
"Meet my custom make magic powerhouse, the Stronger!" Narrowing her eyes, Akame rushed in to slash her opponent, only for his to open the palm of his hammer, blocking her attack. "Not gonna work kid, ya dig?" Akame continued to slash at the weird man, who used the fingers of his hammer to keep blocking her assault. Meanwhile, his ally charged towards Tsubaki, who threw one of the chain scythes forward, only for him to dodge it with ease.
"Who taught you how to throw? Bad move kid!" Pulling the trigger on his sword, the swordsman suddenly extended his weapon like it was the Power Pole. Tsubaki tilted her head as the long sword pierced a nearby tree, causing it to fall on the ground. Renamon, meanwhile, was watching things from another tree, her arms crossed. She WOULD jump in to help, but she knew these guys were nothing against Akame and Tsubaki, the fastest members of the D-Warriors.
But where did the other one go? She thought as she looked around. Falcomon was flying high in the air for recon when he spotted something bright from a nearby hill. Thanks to his avian vision, he saw the last member of Sylph Labyrinth lying on his stomach, aiming his sniper at Akame.
"Akame!" Getting Falcomon's warning, the black haired swordswoman jumped back just as the sniper shot at her.
"Wow, you're quicker than I expected. Although, I guess you have to thank that overgrown pigeon up there." Falcomon felt a hit on his pride, but he decided to ignore it as he flew towards the sniper.
"Ninja Blade!" Falcomon threw several throwing stars at the sniper.
"Sorry, but that's not happening!" Rolling on his back, the sniper shot three bullets at Falcomon's throwing stars, destroying each one of them. "Once I got you in my sights, you're done for."
'With team A'
Team A, lead by Natsu, continued to run up the hill, hopefully towards the Treasure Hunters that were trying to steal the Eternal Flame. "Hey, are we almost there?" Sarah shouted. She swore she just heard a gunshot from the distance and while she had faith in Akame and Tsubaki, she was still worried.
"I can still pick up their scent." Wendy said while sniffing the air. Even with the cold surroundings messing with her senses a bit, she could still smell the crappy cologne they wore, which meant they were close.
"So, you said there were other Digimon here." Gray started. "So where the hell are they?"
"Megan's the one who can find them, and if she found them, she would've told us." Haru countered, picking up the pace. Guilmon ran next to him with equal speed…..when his instincts suddenly kicked in.
"Harumon, stop!" Guilmon shouted as he stopped in his tracks.
"What is it Guilmon?" The red lizard growled lightly as he stared at the right side, more specifically at the trees. Agumon also began to sniff the air before he turned serious.
"There's a Digimon nearby." Agumon said, much to their shock.
"Awww, spoiled the surprise." A teasing voice called out, making everyone tense up.
"Who said that?" Wendy asked as footsteps could be heard not too far away. The group watched as a purple haired girl with red eyes came into vision, a mysterious smile was on her face as a purple dragon-like creature walked next to her.
"I never thought I'd get to fight member sof Fairy Tail."
"Who are you?" Natsu asked with a serious tone. "Are you with those Treasure Hunters?" To his surprise, she chuckled.
"Come on, you really think someone like me and my cutie Dorumon would be a part of something so stupid as a Treasure Hunting guild? I'm hurt."
"Yuuki…." Dorumon said with an embarrassed blush at when she called him her cutie.
"So why are you here?"
"Simple: my Master thinks we could use the Eternal Flame for our own good, so we thought we'd take it. But we didn't expect this place to turn into the North Pole."
"So that means you're still trying to steal it, even if you aren't with those hunters." Carla said with a glare as everyone got ready to fight.
"I'd love to fight you now, but it looks like you're already busy." Reaching into her pocket, Yuuki pulled out a wooden flute before pressing her lips on it, playing a somewhat smoothing tone.
*Rumble*
"W-W-WOAH!" The group began to lose their balance as the ground suddenly began to crack underneath them. They quickly jumped out of the way as a large figure burst through the ice.
*RRRRROOOOOAAAARRRRR*
Everyone's eyes widened as a large creature that resembled a triceratops with a white underbelly, glowing red eyes and a bladed horn stood up, glaring at the group. "W-what is that?" Wendy never thought she'd ever see something so terrifying, aside from the Dragons and Hades, but this creature was…..just pure terrifying. Sarah quickly pulled out her Digivice in order to analyze the new creature.
"Monochromon, champion level dinosaur type Digimon. It's able to excel in offense and defense, and its horn is able to break through mountains with ease. We gotta make sure to watch its horn."
"Hey, what's that on its back?" Happy pointed at the strange black device on Monochromon's back.
"Don't know, don't care." Natsu pulled into his belt and pulled out his Digivice. "Agumon, Digi-"
"Oh no you don't." Buckling her legs, Yuuki rushed towards Natsu, her katana drawn.
*Cling*
However, just as she was able to cut him, Haru jumped between them, clashing swords with her. "Don't think so!"
"Pyro Sphere!" Guilmon launched a red energy sphere at Dorumon, who jumped out of the way just in time.
"Dash Metal!" Opening his mouth, Dorumon fired a sphere of iron at Guilmon, who ducked under it.
"Rapid Fire!" Sarah fired a barrage of bullets at Monochromon, though its skin was too thick to even damage it.
"Sky Dragon Wing Attack!" Focusing wind into her hands, Wendy slammed her arms on Monochromon, but like Sarah's bullets, they were ineffective.
"Volcanic Strike!" Monochromon fired three large fireballs at the group. Natsu grinned as he stood in front of the attack.
*BOOM*
The fireballs exploded on contact with Natsu, causing smoke to cover the area. "NATSU!" Agumon and Sarah shouted with pure concern, though to their surprise, Wendy and the others weren't worried.
*Slurp*
Their concern turned to shock as all the flames from the flames from the explosion began…..to enter Natsu's mouth like they were noodles! Natsu finished his slurping while covering his mouth, letting out a burp. "Man, those were some weird flames, but taste nonetheless!"
"Well….never thought I'd ever seen the famous Salamander do that." Even Yuuki and Dorumon were shocked at what Natsu just did. It wasn't normal to see someone literally suck up fire and talk about how it tasted.
"Always trying to act cool. Dumbass." Gray said while shaking his head…..missing his coat.
"Now then….." Natsu slammed his fists together. "I'm all fired up! Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" Igniting his fists, Natsu slammed it on Monochromon's head, making it groan a bit.
"No way am I letting you have all the fun Flame Brain. Ice Make Hammer!" Using his magic in his hands, Gray summoned an ice hammer before slamming it on Monochromon's head. Haru and Yuuki continued to clash blades, sparking flying between them.
"You're pretty fast, but…." Haru smirked as his sword began to glow, much to Yuuki's curiosity. "I can go fast. Silfarion!" Once the light died out, Haru was now wielding a long, light blue sword with blue curves on the side and a curved hilt.
"Nice sword. Too bad it won't help you." Yuuki lunged towards Haru, who smirked…..before he suddenly disappeared. "What?" Feeling the wind pick up behind her, Yuuki turned around just in time to block another sword swing.
"What on Earthland was that?" Carla asked Sarah, who smiled in response.
"That's Haru weapon, The Ten Commandments."
"Ten Commandments?" Wendy tilted her head in confusion.
"It's an ancient weapon that has the power to change into ten different forms, each giving Haru an boost. Silfarion for example gives him increased speed, but his strikes are a bit weaker." Thanks to his increased speed, Haru continued to push Yuuki back.
"I like this dance, but let's do it in private." Jumping away from Haru, Yuuki began to jump from branch to branch.
"Yuuki, wait!" Dorumon left his battle with Guilmon and began to run after his Tamer. Haru let out an annoyed growl before he turned towards his friends.
"Hey, I'm going after her. You guys gonna be okay?"
"Ice Make Ram!" Gray summoned a battering ram made completely out of ice before hitting Monochromon, which only irritated him more.
"Haru, we got this, go!" Even with the tough battle going on, Natsu still gave the silver haired male permission to go. Nodding in response, Haru ran after Yuuki, with Guilmon going after him. "At least we're only dealing with o-"
*Rumble*
As if on cue, the ground broke again, revealing another Monochromon. "Natsu, stop saying that!" Happy shouted while running from the second Monochromon.
'With team B'
We now turn our attention to team B, where Erza and Vex were examining the frozen giants carefully. "Hey, not to be a bummer…." Terriermon started as he leaned on Ichigo's shoulder. "BUT WHY THE HECK ARE WE STILL HERE?!"
"Because, if one group goes after those hunters, then the other can find the Eternal Flame." Megan answered, her blue eyes examining each giant thoroughly.
"Yeah, I just hope everyone's doing alright." Lucy said with a worried expression.
"I'm sure they'll be fine Lucy." Flamemon reassured her, mainly because he could tell the others could more than hold their own in a fight. Meanwhile, Erza stopped in front of one of the giants, staring that their face for any clue as to where the Flame was.
"Hmmmm…."
"Something wrong?" Vex asked Erza, walking next to her.
"Have you noticed where they're looking at?" She said. Vex raised a brow before he stared at the giant Erza was referring to. He had to admit it: she was right. He was looking at the distance, and it wasn't just him. Looking around, he noticed that the other giants were facing the same direction, which was weird.
"Is something wrong Vex?" Gaomon asked curiously.
"Those Treasure Hunters said the giants were protective of the Eternal Flame, and they're all facing the same direction with their weapons ready." He rubbed his chin in thought before his eyes widened. "THE FLAME!" Everyone looked at Vex in shock. "The giants were preparing to guard the flame when they were frozen. Look at the direction they're looking at, it's obvious they were trying to rush towards the Eternal Flame." It took them a few seconds before the others widened their eyes in surprise as well. It made so much sense: the way that first giant was about to scream in the air, the footprints near the entrance, the weapons in their hands. They were going to the Eternal Flame!
"If we follow where they're looking, then we should be able to get to the Eternal Flame. Let's go!" Erza was the first to run, with the others following suit. Unfortunately for them, Callum and Dobermon were close by, listening.
"Dobermon?"
"Right." Dobermon looked at a nearby building before opening his mouth. "Black Beam!" With that, Dobermon fired a black beam on the side of the building, causing an explosion that scattered debris over the group.
"DOWN!" Vex grabbed Lucy before throwing her on the ground to protect her from oncoming debris. Ichigo grabbed Megan before jumping back, with Erza requipping her sword to cut some of the rubble into pieces. Some rocks hit Vex's back, but otherwise, they were fine. "That was close." He got on one knee while offering Lucy a hand. "Sorry about that."
"You could've warned me ya know." Despite this, Lucy took Vex's hand as they stood up, though she was shivering a bit. "Man, this place is freezing."
"Well maybe you should've worn…..less revealing clothes." Vex had to look away so he could say that, making Lucy blush while covering herself.
"Hey, I don't need advice you perv."
"I was just saying. But we have bigger problems" Vex turned his head upwards, only to see a cloaked figure with a strange dog next to him.
"Who the heck's that guy, and why'd he shoot us?" Terriermon stared at the dog for a few seconds before narrowing his eyes. "Ichigo, that guy's a Tamer."
"Yeah, I noticed. Hey! Who the hell are you?"
"..."
"Are you with those Treasure Hunters?" Callum looked at Megan before speaking.
"I would never be apart of something as digrading as Treasure Hunting. I am simply here to obtain the Eternal Flame for my master, and you appear to be in my way."
"If you are after the Flame, Treasure Hunter or not…" Erza aimed her sword at Callum with a glare. "Then you are our enemy."
"Regardless of what you might think, we are GOING to get those flames, or…" Under his mask, Callum narrowed his teal eyes at the group. "I will hurt you." There was something about that tone that sent shivers down Flamemon's spine, something Callum didn't fail to notice. So, Subject F is here as well. Interesting, kill two birds with one stone.
"W-why is he looking at me?" Flamemon asked, hiding behind Lucy. Vex bit his lower lip before he glanced at Ichigo. Their eyes met and as if they had just talked telepathically, they nodded.
"Erza, Megan, when I give the signal, you two run to the Eternal Flame." He pressed his right middle finger on his thumb, hiding it behind his back so Callum wouldn't see. "Me, Ichigo and Lucy will hold him off."
"Wait, what?" Lucy had to look at Vex like he was joking.
"Now!" Vex whipped his arm, shooting a Black Bolt at Callum and Dobermon, who jumped out of the roof just as the attack struck. Callum slammed his feet on the wall while Dobermon did the same with his claws, slowing down their descent. Erza, megan and Black Pawnchessmon took the opportunity to run towards the Eternal Flame.
"I won't allow that." Kicking the wall, Callum launched himself towards the girls, kunai at the ready.
"Zangetsu!" A blur appeared in front of Callum, blocking his weapon. Ichigo gave a small smirk at Callum, who had a somewhat annoyed expression. "Sorry, but I'm not letting you get to them." Both males jumped away from each other, landing on the ground with a soft thud. Dobermon pounced off the ground, towards Vex.
"Rolling Upper!" Gaomon began to spin at high speed before striking Dobermon in the gut, earning an annoyed groan. Vex took this chance to analyze the new Digimon.
"Dobermon, champion level beast type Digimon. It is a natural hunter and is difficult for any normal Tamer to control." Vex pocketed his Digivice while glaring at Dobermon. "Gaomon, Terriermon, be careful."
"Relax, we got this. Right Flamemon?!" Terriermon turned towards their fiery companion…..only to see him hiding behind Lucy.
"Y-you guys got this!" This got a sweatdrop from Gaomon and Terriermon.
"Hang on, I got you back!" Lucy reached into her key ring before taking out one of her gold keys. "Open, gate of the Archer, Sagittarius!" A bright light emitted in front of Lucy before an archer, wearing a horse costume appeared.
"How may I assist you today miss Lucy?" Sagittarius said while saluting…..towards the sky.
"See that guy in the mask and the dog? I need you to take them out." Sagittarius saw who Lucy was referring to aimed quickly took out his bow.
"I see. Very well miss Lucy, I shall take these hooligans down!" Summoning an arrow in his hand, Sagittarius fired it, allowing it to multiple into several copies. Dobermon unleashed another Black Beam to destroy the arrows. As for Callum, he twirled his kunai in his hand before the arrows were but a few inches from him…
*Slash*
Then, faster than the eye could see, the arrows were suddenly cut into pieces, falling on the ground. "S-such speed." In all his life, Sagittarius had never seen a human move at such speed, let alone cut all his arrows like they were toothpicks.
"To block an attack from one of the 12 Zodiac keys is an impressive feat in my opinion." Callum aimed his kunai at Lucy. "Perhaps taking down the Wizard will stop the Spirits. I know Doctor will have some use out of them."
"Like heck I'd give you to them!" Lucy narrowed her eyes, putting a hand over her keys.
"That was no request." Callum rushed towards Lucy, ready to strike her down.
"Guard!"
*Cling*
Lucy opened her eyes…...only to see Vex standing between her and Callum, with his Dark Guard activated on his right arm. His yellow eyes glaring at the masked warrior. "Good, got here just in time." He looked over at Lucy. "You okay?"
"Y-yeah, thanks." Smiling at her, Vex pushed Callum back.
"No way are we going to let you get away with attacking my friend." Taking a deep breath, Vex slammed his fists together as purple energy was emitted inside. Tightening his grip, he pulled them apart, creating a purple energy pole. Soon, Vex was wielding a purple scythe, which rested on his right shoulder. "Dark Creation: Nightmare Scythe. Time to go down."
"I see. Very well." Holding his kunai in a reverse grip, Callum began to focus green energy into his weapon, taking a long deep breath. "Calamity Slash!" With all his energy, Callum threw a green energy slash at Vex, who also put some magic in his weapon.
"Crescent…..Edge!" Twirling his new scythe, Vex slashed it on the ground before unleashing a wave of purple energy, which got closer and closer to Callum's attack.
'With Erza and Megan'
*BOOM*
Miles from where the battle was taking place, Erza, Megan and Black Pawnchessmon ran up the hill, though they clearly saw the explosion caused of Vex's Crescent Edge and Callum's Calamity Slash. "Do you think…...they'll be…...alright?" Megan asked between breaths, a bit winded from all that running. Even so, she still looked back at Sun Village with a worried expression.
"I'm sure they'll be alright Megan, you must have faith in your guildmates." Erza reassured while putting a metal hand on her shoulder. Megan's blue eyes stared in Erza's confident brown ones before she nodded. The two noticed they were standing in the middle of several sharp icicles, where more frozen giants stood to guard the Eternal Flame. "Come, we shouldn't be too far now."
"Right." The two, along with Black Pawnchessmon began to walk at a steady pace. "If we can find the Eternal Flame, we should be able to free the village."
"Yes, but according to Warrod, it's frozen as well."
"But if we used that Moon Drip those Treasure Hunters have…."
"Then we should be able to free the village." As Black Pawnchessmon jumped over a large rock, he turned to his Tamer, only to blink his eyes as he noticed something…..different. "It's nice to talk to someone who has the same mindscape."
"I couldn't agree with you more." As Megan smiled, she failed to notice how she and Erza lost a few inches.
"Ummm, Megan?" Black Pawnchessmon said, speaking for the first time in the series, only to be ignored.
"Has Natsu been behaving well?"
"He's….okay. There were times he almost broke something, but I made sure he knew what would happen if he broke something." Megan had to giggle at the memory of how scared Natsu was when they first met. Erza shook her head in amusement, failing to notice how much looser her armor was.
"Megan." Again, the little Digimon was ignored.
"Do other members of your guild have Digimon?"
"You've met most of the guild, except my Uncle. He's actually the Guildmaster and while he could be…..perverted…." A small smile crept on Megan's face. "He's still the best leader we have." Erza had to agree. While Makarov was also perverted, he acted like the grandfather everyone needed whenever they had a dilemma. "Hey, does it feel like our clothes are looser?"
:MEGAN!" Erza and Megan flinched at Pawnchessmon's outburst.
"What is-"
*Ding, ding*
However, Megan was cut off when the rings around her wrist suddenly fell on the ground. Just as Megan was about to pick them up…..she noticed how tiny her hand has become.
*Ding*
And it wasn't just her, but all of Erza's armor also fell on the ground. The green haired beauty turned and gasped in shock. "Erza…..you're a kid again!" Erza blinked as she looked at Megan.
"So are you!"
"That's what I've been trying to say." Pawnchessmon rubbed his head before grabbing both girls and making them face one of the icicles. Both of them gasped as they looked like they were 9 year old kids again. Megan's hair was rather short while her white vest covered her body since her pants were too big for her. Same with Erza as she was now only wearing her black tight shirt. Both girls touched their faces before muttering three words….
"What the hell?"
'With Warrod'
In all his life, Warrod was never a heavy eater. Even if his young, he only ate a decent portion, mostly to keep his strong physique. However, he was glad he had a large stockpile of food since his two guests were rather…...hungry, to say the least. "Man Warrod, you shtill gob it!" Tai said as he munched on another chicken leg while Veemon was eating a whole plate of mashed potatoes.
"Yeah, I thought you were gonna just give us nuts and fruit!" Veemon said, getting a chuckle from the tree man, who sipped some of his tea, patiently waiting for his friends to finish. Eventually, Tamer and Digimon finished their meals, which took ten whole plates all together. They let out a relieved sigh as they leaned back.
"Man, I wish grandpa would make food that tasted this good."
"Speaking of your grandfather, you tell me that you've been living in your world for seven years while it's been over one hundred here?" Warrod asked. He had explained how much has changed on Earthland since he had met the two in front of him. To say Tai and Veemon were overwhelmed would be an understatement.
"Yeah, it's really weird ya know? I thought it wouldn't make much of a difference." Tai used a toothpick to clean any food in his mouth before smirking at Warrod. " But let's talking about you mister Wizard Saint."
"Is it true that you're one of the strongest wizards here?!"
"As I told some youngsters from Fairy Tail before you arrived, it's only a title, There are far more stronger wizards in the world than me."
"Man, I was actually hoping that Precht would be one of these Wizard Saints." As soon as Tai said that, Warrod tightened his grip on his tea cup. "Say, is he still in Magnolia, along with Mavis and Yuri?"
'And what about Agumon, is he still protecting Mavis?"
"Tai, Veemon…" The duo turned towards Warrod, who had a serious expression on his face.
"What is it Warrod, aren't they still around?"
"Mavis and the others…...are dead."
And just like that, the tone of the atmosphere changed.

Erza and Akame are back to back with their swords drawn. Wendy and Tsubaki appear, one with wind in her hands while the other had three kunai, Gray, Hary and Ichigo appear back to back, one having an icy mist in his hand while the other had Zangetsu stabbed on the ground and the third had his sword in hand. Lucy and Vex appear, one with her keys while the other had darkness seeping out of his hands. The Digimon then appear as a group before Natsu turns around with a grin and throws up his Crest of Courage.
And there is another awesome chapter. Sorry if there wasn't any good action, I just wanted to set things up from the next few chapters, especially with the surprises I have planned. So yeah, we now see Yuuki and Callum ambushing our heroes, as well as those three Treasure Hunters(who let's be honest, aren't even the biggest threat of this arc). Trust me, we will see more Digimon, as well as Devimon trying to get the power of the Eternal Flame, so be sure to stick around for that. What did you guys think of Tai appearing with Veemon? Yes, it is the version of Tai from the Manga, but I might use the name Zeromaru for Veedramon when Veemon evolves, we'll see. Thanks for tigerdancer21 for the idea of a preview, I hope you guys liked Haru and Guilmon voicing it. Let me know who you want to voice the next preview.
