I don't own digimon.

Session 4

Legacy

Elena sighed.

She didn't really get who these two people were trying to be. Maybe they were just pretending to be those characters. Not that it really mattered to her at all. They were their current opponents and they would need to battle them. At least now, she had proper control in this form.

Her gaze then focused upon Alice.

In the place of the gambler, a white catgirl dressed in a black trenchcoat now stood. Under said trenchcoat, was a plain t-shirt and a matching pair of pants. A mask that looked like her usual face hung on the back of her head. It was a pretty spotless replica, the only flaws within it being the slightly exaggerated visuals and a small crack just below the mouth portion. Her guns hung by her thighs, with a deck of cards hanging beside the left pistol.

Alice took a deep breath. While it wasn't the preferred form she would have chosen for herself, it would work for the time being. She also wouldn't mind a certain third-person speaking jester releasing her 'loving' grip off of her.

"Don't you just feel the love?" Jestery announced as Alice went for her gun. Already, the benevolent god was quickly getting upon her nerves. Not that she could really kill her, having already tried that the day before with no success.

"Get off." Alice answered and Jestery ended her hug. Alice probably needed a second hug, judging from her still grumpy mood. So, Jestery hugged her again and Alice responded with her usual tactic: pointing a gun in the aggressor's face. This probably won't at all backfire on her in the near future, whatsoever.

"What are you afraid of, Alice?" Evil TK responded, only to have Alice swing both of her guns towards his face. "We're all friends around here."

"Your name is Evil TK. I say it's quite the contrary of that." the gambler whispered, only to get a mumble from her opponent. "Hey! Speak up!"

While those two bickered, Joey looked himself over. Instead of the typical overdressed angel one would have expect for his name, the boy was still dressed in his original outfit. However, a cloud of darkness had now engulfed his body, giving the appearance of the overdressed angel.

"Come on, Alice and TK! Be friends!" Jestery announced as she casually played on a 3DS for some reason.

"Uh... go away." Elena answered as she looked up. Floating above them, was a weird cross between SkullGreymon and a Myotismon. How that would exactly work is beyond me. "We have a fight at the moment."

"Jestery is still cuddling kitty at the moment." Jestery announced and Elena held her left claw to her forehead. "Kitty is currently way too moody for her own well-being."

Eventually, Jestery did finally let go of Alice and mumbled something about it counting as two hugs at once for some reason.

"Took you people long enough." Hikari announced, aiming her sniper rifle towards Elena. "I've been lusting for some action for quite a while now."

"Lusting?" Evil TK answered, turning to look at his partner. "I realize we both haven't had much in the way of action, but that seems like a weird word to describe it."

"We're finally ready!" Joey announced, waiting for their two opponents to answer.

"Oh, yes." digimon #1 answered, clearing his throat. "I'm MaloMyotismon."

Scanning...

MaloMyotismon

Super Ultimate, Virus

Special Moves: Mental Illusion, Screaming Darkness, Crimson Mist

.

MaloMyotismon: You might know me from classics such as Digimon Adventure 02 and that one episode of Digimon Fusion.

The author: You mean Digimon Xros Wars.

MaloMyotismon: It's the same thing.

The author: They technically aren't.

MaloMyotismon: What's the difference?

The author: Too many to list off right now. I'm sort of afraid to watch the dub, if it ever gets finished.

Scan Complete.

"Okay then." Alice responded, her gaze focusing on a second digimon.

It's appearance was similar to that of an angewomon, but had a yellow fox tail and matching fox ears. A renamon gauntlet covered the normally gloved hand and she wasn't wearing her helmet, revealing the usual long blonde hair most angewomon have. The weird gunk of plaster normally covering her foot had been replaced with a yellow fox foot. Finally, the normally angelic white dress seemed to have a faded yellow tint to it.

The digimon then launched a mixed barrage of arrows and fireballs towards them, seemingly waiting for them to dodge and/or counter-attack.

Shadow Blaze!

Part of the black cloud condensed around Joey's hand, only for a fireball to shoot out.

Gale Wing!

Two c-shaped projectiles shot out of Elena's wings, almost immediately joining with the fireball.

Lucky Shot!

Alice shot her left gun off, only to get nothing but smoke. As such, the gambler repeated said action and managed to fire her gun off. A few seconds later, all three attacks collided into one super attack that barely did any damage to either of their opponent's digimon.

"Why couldn't it just be tea and crumpets?!" Tsukaimon added as Carinamon pinched his left wing.

"Is that all you ever talk about?" The feathered scorpion accused and the purple winged pig shook his head.

"Some chips would be nice. Maybe some bangers and mash instead." Carinamon stared into the pig's face, attempting to decipher the digimon's latest statement. It was probably better than the food her 'creator' fed her each day. She was pretty certain it was mostly just rat poison and some other nasty things, possibly the venom of her turtle cellmate. But, that was in the past.

The scorpion's gaze then focused on Alice, who was cycling her gun barrel in an attempt to improve her accuracy. There was probably only one bullet in the six-round barrel, but that didn't stop the catgirl. It was at that moment, MaloMyotismon finally decided to join the battle.

Crimson Mist!

A red mist headed towards them, only for Alice to pull her deck of cards out.

Card of Chance!

She flipped the top card off, revealing the king of diamonds. Instead of the usual king on the card, there was the picture of a figure dressed in a rainbow-striped cloak.

"What the heck?" Both Elena and Joey shouted as Alice fell to the ground.

"Oh fuck, fuck, fuck." TK added as Hikari glanced towards him. Their gazes focused on Alice, who was strangely convulsing on the ground. She immediately returned to her human form, only for a loud bone-cracking pop to come forth from the German girl. Her body was engulfed with white light as everyone just stood there. When the light disappeared, a catgirl with purple fur and her mask from before. But, the mask now appeared to be covered entirely with cracks and ready to shatter. Catgirl was probably the wrong word to describe her now. Actually, the closest thing to describing her was possibly a large cat behemoth thing.

"Crud." TK responded and gave MaloMyotismon a slight nod. The ultimate responded with another nod and ran towards our heroes.

Mental Illusion!

'Alice' froze, returning to a human-like state for the moment.

Elena then reverted back, pulling her cell phone out.

"Uh... what are you doing?" Joey accused and watched Elena talk into the device.

"Uh... calling a friend of mine." Elena explained as Joey's gaze turned towards TK.

"How did you do that, Mr. Takaishi?" The scientist asked and reverted back to his human state.

TK only giggled, cracking a sly smile.

"You're a digimon fan, aren't you?" TK answered, taking his fisherman's cap off. "Also, just call me TK."

"Yes, Mr TK." Joey answered as Tsukaimon flew over to his master while MaloMyotismon reverted back to Patamon. "A very big fan."

"It's not what you expected, is it?"

Joey only nodded as Hikari gave TK a cautionary glance.

"I expected something more a whole lot more peaceful." Hikari only sighed, whispering something into TK's ear. "But, why?"

"The digital world is like a person. Every person has a different idea what they want it to be. It changes to reflect what that person wants."

Joey stared blankly, confused by what the boy was even talking about.

"If that was the case, why is this place so messed up?"

TK only sighed, his smile disappearing.

"If only it were that simple." TK took a deep breath, taking a quick glance behind him. He began to shake, pulling his own gun out. "It is coming for us, taking your friends and go!"

The former prince then placed something in the Joey's hands as Hikari made a confused glance towards him.

"What are you talking about?"

"All you need to know is this. The jester is not your enemy. Neither are the Royal Digi and the Infectors. No, there's a much greater threat to worry about." As he said that, a bus rolled up. "But, no matter what, don't let that change the path you choose to take."

A bus then landed right beside TK and Hikari, calling for them to come towards it.

Joey and Tsukaimon then ran towards the bus. Astamon followed right behind, pulling a stunned Alice behind him. Elena and Carinamon brought up the rear, making sure nothing had decided to follow them.

Inside, the interior looked to be that of a school bus, probably used for the obvious reason. An old man, probably in his thousands, sat in the front seat. He was dressed simply, just a white toga and some sandals. For some reason, his water bottle was shaking rapidly, possibly ready to explode on them.

"Hi Bob." Elena greeted as she and Carinamon took a seat behind the driver.

"Good to see you, Elena." Bob answered as Tsukaimon pulled Alice over to a seat in the middle area. "Where to?"

"Drogaciji Academy." Elena explained and Bob nodded. The bus headed off, as the 'former rulers' of the digital world watched on.

At the moment, the duo and their digimon were doing battle with two heavily armored angels. However, it seemed the two angels had the upper hand on them. They always did in these sorts of battles. That was how it was supposed to be in this world. Good wins, evil loses. Any slight change to this "balance", would be considered wrong and must be set 'right'. Or maybe it was just case of very bad luck.

TK gritted his teeth, taking a deep breath. This was the end for him, but not for all of them. They tiptoed towards a large dead tree, taking shelter inside.

"Hikari, go." He whispered, only for her and kitsune angewomon thing to just stand there.

"If you're going to die, let's do this together." She whispered, attempting to make TK see her way. "I can't just let you have the fun."

"No." TK sighed, handing his partner in crime something. "Now is your chance to be the hero. Go!"

Hikari ran out of the tree, heading north. Her partner followed behind, still nameless. As those two did that, TK and Patamon headed back to their opponents. TK cracked a smile, not even getting a response from either digimon.

"I guess the cat was right. We're all butterflies in a never-ending cycle. But, eventually we'll have to deal with the repercussions of past actions." He pointed his gun towards the digimon to his left and fired. The bullet slammed into the creature's helmet, only for a lance to stab right through his heart. The other digimon copied the actions of the first, slamming his spear into Patamon.

With the deed now done, the two teleported away.

.

Polly Gostelow opens her eyes.

Currently, she finds herself in her ordinary room. It consisted of four white walls and a matching carpet. Martial art posters were scattered about the walls, making the lone poster of a riceball kitty and a green jellybean frog seem out of place yet meaningful. Other than that, a desk sat under a window with an overturned bookcase with a bunch of fist-shaped bloodstains upon it. She couldn't quite remember why she had done it or the purpose of it, but something about it seemed familiar. The only other piece of furniture appeared to be a plain set of drawers.

"Why hello there."

Our current 'protagonist' then makes a quick glance towards the left side of her bed. Currently, a demonic satyr thing was standing by said bed with something on his mind.

"I have the offer of the lifetime for you." the monster explained. "Are you willing to hear me out on this?"

"Can't it just wait? I'm not even dressed yet." Polly whispered and made a quick glance away from the creature.

The creature sighed, only to shake his head.

"In that case, I'll just cut right to the chase. Want to become a harem girl?"

"No thanks." Polly whispered and kicked the covers away, grabbing hold of this mystery monster. What followed, was the monster getting flung out her window. All without hitting the desk.

"Telemarketers these days." she whispered and closed her eyes. "Why does he seem so familiar..."

Notes:

Just some minor tweaks to the chapter.
