NOTE:
Another Digi-fan has let me know (more or less), in reference to another fiction
I have written
("Friends Forever"), that I have Ishida-san's first name wrong. Well, mistakes
can happen. But,
It's too late for me to change names. So.... "Matsuo", meet "Yamato"! "Yamato",
meet "Matsuo"!
I don't remember WHERE I got the idea the "Matsuo" was "Matt"'s original
Japanese name, but
that's what I have it as ^_^
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next morning saw the "Digital-senshi", as the Digimon and Digi-destined had
dubbed
themselves, up and dressed and in the Dining-room early.
"Ohayo, Mimi!" Matsuo and Takeru, with their Digi-partners, called out upon
coming to eat
breakfast. "What are you up for?"
"I am helping Makoto-san fix breakfast!" Mimi answered. She then looked up at
the brothers
Ishida. "Good! You have cleaned up for breakfast! The first bunch of fruit is
already on the table. The
Soba will be ready shortly."
When Matsuo and Takeru went back to the table, they found themselves joined by
Taichi and
Agumon and Hikari and Gatomon. "How did you sleep, Taichi?" Matsuo asked.
"I slept well, Matsuo!" Taichi said. "It is amazing what knowing that you will
head
into a battle will do for a good night's sleep!"
"My brother can sleep through anything!" Hikari quipped.
"Unlike you?" Gatomon laughed.
"We've learned to sleep when we can." Taichi replied.
"As have we", Takeru agreed.
"It's amazing what you can learn in the Digi-World!" Mimi sang out. "Breakfast
is served!"
"Not without us!" Tentomon called out as Koushirou came up, laptop in tow.
Mimi looked up at Koushirou. "Expecting mail?"
"Iie." Koushirou took a seat. "I am trying to learn as much as I can about this
'Death
Phaantom' we will no doubt face! I downloaded some of Crystal Tokyo's archives
last night." Mimi
set a steaming cup beside the laptop. "Hai?" Koushirou asked.
"It sounds like you were up into the night!" Mimi told Koushirou, "and you may
find some
coffee helpful!"
"Arigatou." Koushirou took a sip.
"Is that coffee for everyone?" "Jyou asked as he and Gomamon slid into their
seats.
"Hai." Mimi looked with concern at Jyou's features. "Are you alright, Jyou? What
happened?"
"I was up until late," Jyou said matter-of-factly, "facing my fears. If I am to
be reliable, I must conquer my biggest enemy. Myself."
"But did you not do that in the Digi-World, Jyou?" Byomon asked Jyou as she and
Sora
sat down to breakfast.
Chibiusa arrived with Sailorsaturn at the table.
"He did!" Gomamon said in a defensive way.
"Hai." Jyou said. "But, my fears have threatened to render me useless here! I
thought
I had dealt with them after we returned from Odaida! But, seeing the work of
VemonMyotismon again,
and hearing of Devilmon and Piedmon, allowed them to revive! I spent last night
in meditation,
battling my fears."
"And?" Sailormercury asked.
"I am here." Jyou smiled. "But, I am tired."
"I still refuse to let you fight the Death Phantom and his new-found allies!"
Chibiusa
said in her most-commanding voice. "If you fight, I will be forced to call you
before my Mother and
Father on charges of Disobeying Orders! I will NOT see you dead!"
"Then, write up the warrants, Your Highness," Jyou said in all seriousness,
"because
we cannot allow our friends to fight all alone! And you ARE our friend, Usagi!"
"My daughter is right!" Neo-Queen Serenity spoke up. "To go against the Death
Phantom is
not wise! Will you not reconsider? I remember what Hikari said yesterday
evening! The future is not
set. You could DIE!"
"Gomen, Your Majesty!" Mimi bowed, asking to speak after helping to serve
breakfast,
"but we have already decided! True! We may die.."
"But," Sora continued, "if we do not fight, we will die as well as you! There is
no
doubt that our enemies will not be satisfied to have us cowering before them in
fear. They will
want out bleeding hearts! We must fight!" She held Chibiusa's hand tightly. "Do
not worry! We
shall be alright."
After breakfast was over, the Princesses and their protegees went about their
morning routines: Mercury and Jyou to the hospital-ward, Jupiter and Mimi to the
gardens, Mars and
Takeru to the shrine, Pluto and Hikari to the Time-gate, and so on.
As Princess Ami and Jyou and Gomamon were getting ready to leave after looking
after
the hospital patients, a messenger came running to the wards. "Your Highness!
You are requested
at once! I was instructed to send you to the war-room!"
"Hai!" Mercury responded. "Kiddo-san! Gomamon! Come! You swore to be Senshi?
This will
be your first assignment!"
After Princess Ami and Jyou and Gomamon entered the war-room, King Endymion
addressed
the Senshi:
"The Enemies' forces are building in number around Odaiba! Princess Uranus and
Princess
Neptune have suggeasted a punitive strike against the Enemy! But, since they are
so near to the
palace, I wonder if it is not wise to defend ourselves here? What say you?"
"They are waiting for us to move first." Princess Venus spoke.
"I would suggest," Sailor Jupiter said, "that we not disappoint them, then!"
"But, we would be running right into their trap." Serenity warned. "Is that
wise?"
"Your Majesty?" Koushirou asked. "If I may speak out of line?"
"Speak, Izumi-san!" Serenity motioned for Koushirou to rise.
"Arigatou, Your Majesty!" Koushirou looked around. "I was up last night learning
about
the Death Phantom! In doing so, I also researched the Blackmoon Invasion. And, I
remember Usagi's
words about the memories of the people of that invasion! I believe we can win,
and will win, but I
feel it would be an error to bring the fighting here, to stir those memories
again!"
"Then," Chibiusagi said dejectedly, "Out enemies hold all the cards."
"Iie, Your Highness!" Matsuo tried to reassure Chibiusa. "They may know who we
are! It
is a given that Our Enemies THINK they know who we are. But, we have an
advantage! Koushirou! Were
you able to learn much from the records on this 'Death Phantom'?"
"Some!" Koushirou smiled. "Maybe enough! It appears this 'Death Phanton' relies
not
only on his own power, but that of his allies. That MAY be a weakness."
"Do you have a plan?" Taichi asked Matsuo.
"An idea, my friend." Matsuo smiled. "It is true that our enemies know who we
were,
but I think we have changed a bit since we fought them. Hai?"
"Hai!" Taichi smiled. "We have. And that, plus the concensus to fight with
everything
we have, will be our advantage!"
"I will not have you DIE for me!" Serenity and Chibiusa cried out
simultaneously.
"Your Majesties!" Taichi bowed. "I said we fight with 'everything we have'! I
never
said we would fight like fools! Our enemies know about what they remember
fighting! That do not
know us, now! Nor do they know of the Senshi."
"And, what about the "Death Phantom'?" King Emdymion asked.
"He only know about you and the Senshi!" Hikari answered. "He knows nothing of
us,
save what Myotismon gained on us after the trap at the cemetary was sprung! The
'Death Phantom'
will learn of us- but he will learn too late."
"A plan can be made!" Taichi said finally. "We just need to know it."
************************************
As the older Senshi gathered to meet the Enemies at their staging-area of
Odaiba,
the Digital-Senshi were waiting for the last of their numbers.
Takeru Ishida came out from the Shrine to meet with his friends and
fellow-senshi.
"Pardon my absence, please," the young man said humbly, "but my thoughts need to
be clear."
"Understood, my brother!" Matsuo Ishida said in admiration. He had always loved
his
brother, but Matsuo had also been protective of Takeru. In the Digi-world, this
had often come
to the point of smothering Takeru. But, in the latter battles, Matsuo had seen
his brother grow
past the need for over-protection. Here, in Crystal-Tokyo, the younger-brother,
the former Takeru
Takaishi, was showing a maturing to a strong, yet gentle, and wise warrior. "You
are ready to
fight?"
"Hai", was Takeru's simple reply.
"Then let us leave." Hikari Kamiya said as she and Gatomon and SailorPluto came
from
the direction of the Time-gate. "Surprise is all!" Hiraki's eys twinkled with a
mischieviousness
caught by only Gatomon, Pluto, and Chibiusa. The Princess looked at Hikari a bit
oddly. Pluto
smiled enigmatically while Gatomon managed to keep a straight face only by
noticing the arrival
of Her Majesty, Neo-Queen Serenity, in full Senshi uniform. She was carrying a
wooden box.
"And, who", Serenity stated, "expects me to stay in the Palace as my friends and
family leave to fight in my name?" Serenity put down the box and removed the
lid, revealing
two bottles of very-old saki. "We are about to go to battle! Some of us.. may
not return. So, I
propose a senshi's send-off!" She withdrew the saki, handing each warrior a
small cedar box in
which she poured the saki.
"I have never drank saki before!" Jyou said.
"We were never allowed to even taste it!" Matsuo said of he and Takeru.
"I do not think we are yet old enough to taste it!" Takeru said in wonderment.
Serenity filled the boxes with the saki. "You have proven yourselves ready,
Digi-Senshi, by your willingness to fight against The Blackness once more!"
Serenity then
raised her saki. "BANZAI!"
The assembled Senshi, old and new, joined their Sovereign.
"BANZAI!"
************************************
The outskirts of Odaiba were blanketed with a think, cold.
"Three guesses as to who's home." Sora said in an annoyed tone.
"Did we not leave Odaiba in better condition, Jyou?" Gomamon asked.
"You can't keep a good demon down, I guess." Jyou responded.
"Now THERE is an oxymoron!" Sailorneptune said.
"Hai." Matsuo answered. "But Jyou's right! When we beat VemonMyotismon this
time, we need to make sure he stays dead!"
"That goes in triplicate for the Death Phantom!" Serenity and Chibiusa swore.
"OK, Senshi!" Taichi announced just loud enough so the group could hear.
"We are at the fog barrier! We do not know where our Enemies will strike! Or
how! So be
careful! For a skirmish line, two-by-two, with the Royal Family going in-three!"
Neptune looked at Uranus. "Isn't this insubordination, Haruka-san? You are
leader of the Senshi."
"So is Kamiya-san!" Uranus answered.
Neptune smiled.
"Just remember to call out!" Matsuo warned everyone.
On three, the skirmishers walked fearlessly into the fog.
"Taichi?" Matsuo called out. "Takeru? Jyou?"
"Hai!" Taichi answered. "Sora? Jyou?"
"Here! Jyou responded. "Taichi? Koushirou?"
"Matsuo?" Takeru sounded out. "Hikari? Taichi?!!"
Silence soon dominated the fogbanks.
************************************
Princesses Mercury and Neptune soon found themselves, and
Jyou and Matsuo and their Digi-partners, on Odaiba's waterfront. And
above the rolling of the water, the senshi could hear a small din. The
din steadily grew into a rythmic wave. That wave grew into thunder.
The thunder was an army on the march.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Mercury sent a wave of water and ice
into the face of the mrching army. The human-wave was pressed back..
momentarily.
Then the air was split by the whirling-thuds of ancient
attack-airships.
"Nani?" Mercury asked.
Laserfire hit the waterfront.
The Emeny's forces broke through Mercury's icewall.
"Watch it!" Matsuo shouted. "This could become an easy trap!"
As if answering Matsuo's warning, helicopters whirled through
the skies above the senshi, as the forces aboard these airships zeroed in
on them.
The Enemy started to encircle the senshi.
"Neptune Deep Submerge!" Tsunamis from Neptune's Aqua-
Mirror ripped one helicopter apart. But that one was replaced, as if
by magic, with two more. At the same time, the flanking troops advanced
and fired on Neptune, Matsuo, and Gabumon, forcing a retreat toward
Mercury, Jyou, and Gomamon.
"Gabumon, we need help!" Matsuo cried out.
"Gabumon! Digivolve to.. Garurumon!"
"Now, Garurumon!" Matsuo pointed to the encircling Enemies.
"We need them frozen stiff!"
"HOWLING BLASTER!"
The Enemy's forces threatening Neptune and Matsuo's end were
now frozen in place or slowly slogging in slush. Michiru turned her
attentions again to the helicopters circling overhead.
"DEEP SUBMERGE!" Two more helicopters were scrapped.. to only
be replaced by four more.
On Mercury and Jyou and Gomamon's end, the battle was wearily
being waged. It seemed to the trio that the army against the was too fresh,
and were being re-supplied too rapidly.
"LAUNCHING FISHES!" Gomamon cried out as a second wave of fish
hit into the troops that somehow made it through Mercury's ice.
"Gomamon!" Jyou shouted. "We need elevation! We must see
where the troops and helicopters are coming from! Digivolve, now!"
"You got it, Jyou! Gomamon! Digivolve to.. IKKAKUMON!
Climb aboard, my Captain!"
Jyou Kiddo climbed on the aquatic-digimon's shoulders, then
clambered to the horn on his head. Ikakkumon then maneuvered out into the
water. Jyou then used Ikakkumon's horn as a gunsight.
"We really need a higher view!" Jyou shouted above the whirling
'copter blades and laser fire.
"But that will make you more of a target, Kiddo-san!" Mercury
responded, overhearing Jyou's instructions to his digimon.
"There's no other way!" Jyou called down from Ikkakumon to
Sailormercury. "I have an idea of where this army is coming from, but it's
a vague idea! I need to pinpoint their supply as much a I can! Ikakkumon!
Digivolve!"
"Ikkakumon! Digivolve to.. ZUDOMON!"
Still using his digimon's horn for a gunsight, Jyou got a better
idea of the bearings of the army's supply link. Then he saw the gunship bearing
on he and Zudomnn. "Zudomon!" Jyou cried out, "Crack that big helocopter like a
coconut!"
"Ayai, Captain Kiddo!" the giant digimon bellowed out tossing his
great hammer. "VULCAN'S HAMMER!" The great hammer shattered the gunship on
impact,
scattering debris all over the battle area and sending it's crew into the water.
"Zudomon! Devolve to Ikkakumon! Hurry!"
More helicopters were appearing on the scene. Though not as large
as the gunship, they were still manacing. And P.T.boats could now be seen
skimming
fast along the waterfront as Ikakkumon reappeared.
"Ikakkumon!" Jyou ordered. "Scrap those 'copters!"
"HARPOON TORPEDO!!!"
Three Missile-horns, fired from almost point-blank range, completely
decimated the squadron of helicopters. But not before two rockets were lauched
at
Jyou and Ikkakumon.
"Oh, no!" Jyou tremble violently. "It's Koushirou, and Mimi ! They're
in danger !" Jyou had to steady himself against the horn on top of Ikkakumon's
head.
The missiles struck their targets, crippling Ikakku so badly he
devolved into Bukemon and tossing a semi-conscience Jyou into the water!
"Jyou!" Sailormercury screamed. "Shine Aqua ILLUSION!!!"
Sailormercury's tsunami swept the assembled enemy-forces off the
Odaiba waterfront.
"Sailorneptune," Mercury ordered, "help Matsuo! I will rescue Jyou!"
"Now without MY help!" Gomamon called out, going into the waves.
The P.T.Boats started spraying bullets at the senshi and launching
torpedoes at the waterfront.
"Garurumon!" Matsuo called out to his digi-partner, "I think I saw
where Jyou fell into the bay! We have to keep the boats and helicopters away so
Sailormurcury can rescue him! Aim for the boats!"
"You got it, Matsuo! HOWLING BLASTER!!!"
The enemy-patrol was completely stopped as machanics became stopped
with ice. Another blast of cold sent the gunners on the boats scurrying for warm
blankets and clothing!
Sailormercury and Gomamon came back to shore with a groggy Jyou Kiddo
between them.
"Deep SUBMERGE!" Neptune's tsunami broke up Garurumon's icepack, and
splintered the Patrol Boats with shards of ice. The boats were sent to the
bottom
of the bay.
"I.. was able.." Jyou sputtered, "to judge.. where.. the Enemy.. is
getting.. supplied.. we must.."
"You must rest, Jyou!" Sailormercury chided the boy. "You were almost
killed!"
"Hai!" Jyou answered. "And.. if we wait.. we shall all.. be killed!
Bukemon! Digivolve.. to.. Ikkakumon!"
"Ay-ay, Captain!" Bukemon saluted. "Bukemon! Digivolve to.. GOMAMON!
Gomamon! Tranform to.. IKKAKUMON!"
"Alright, Captain!" Ikkakumon answered. "Where do you want the shells?"
Despite the protests of Mercury and Uranus, Jyou climbed once more upon
the shaggy digimon's shoulders. "Ikkakumon!" Jyou directed, "Ten degrees to the
right
of where you are facing now! Elevation, thirty degrees! And easy of the power."
Matsuo, Garurumon, Sailoruranus, and Sailormercury took up defensive
positions around their "Artillery Battery". They were firing to their flanks and
rear.
"FIRE!" Jyou shouted.
"HARPOON TORPEDO!!!"
The missiles of the great, shaggy digimon arched, falling true to Jyou's
mark. A second later, the waterfront was rocked by the sound of not-too-distant
ammuntion-
dumps being blasted by multiple-concussions!
At the sounds of the blasts, the Emenies' army, or what was left of it,
vanished into the fog.
"I do not like this." Michiru Kaioh said grimly. Ami Mizuno nodded slowly in
aggrement.
Only then was Jyou able to voice his fear for the others to Matsuo. "Koushirou
and Mimi and Jupiter and Saturn are under attack! By Piedmon! We MUST help!"
"I know, Jyou!" Matsuo said. "We will get there!" Matsuo then thought, 'Taichi!
Sor! Agumon! Byomon! Mimi, Palmon, Koushirou, and Tentomon need our help! Get to
them as fast
as possible! Takeru! Hikari! Patomon! Gatomon! We need help!'
"We must leave to reach the others soon!" Ami Mizuno said.
"The Digi-destined are not going ANYWHERE!!! Except to their deaths!!!" The
voice
thundered from the direction of the Odaiba Cemetary. Digimon, Digi-destined, and
Senshi spun
around towards the voice.
"Show yourself, VenomMyotismon!" Matsuo shouted.
"I think not!" VenomMyotis taunted from the shadows in the fog. "And have you
Digi-destined not yet learned it'd dangerous to take your eyes off the enemy?"
As if on cue, laser-blasts seared the darkened sky! Jyou and Ikkakumon were
struck
first, then Matsuo and Garurumon.
"IIE!" Mercury screamed. "Jyou-san! Ikkakumon!"
"Matsuo-san!" Neptune cried out. "Garurumon!"
"'Sixteen shall fall..'," VenomMyotismon laughed as he materialized. "It is as
has
been foretold! Four have fallen, twelve more shall fall! Then, Our Master's
quest shall procede
as planned."
"Monster!" Neptune cried, "You shall never succeed! DEEP-SUBMERGE!" Michiru
aimed
her deadly torent straight toward the evil-digimon's head.
"MERCURY AQUA RHAPSODY!" Ami shot her attack at VenomMyotismon's heart.
VemonMyotismon brushed of both attacks.
"So!" VenomMyotismon sneered. "The Royal Gaurds wish to battle me? My Master was
wishing to bring your torment to you himself! But, in the end. it does nopy
matter. You will
die, whoever wield the weapon. HEHEHE!"
"That's the problem with evil-digimon, ja ne?" A voice came, it sounded like,
from
underwater. "They always gloat too loud and too soon!"
A tower of surf rose from where Jyou and Ikkakumon had been shot and killed. The
tower subsided, leaving a figure of a man. He was Jyou's hight and color, but
his bluish hair
was long, past his shoulders, and shaggy, and he had a horn growing from his
forehead. Walrus-
like tusks stabbed out of a shy grin. And red claws grew from webbed hands. As
striking to the
Senshi, besides his looks, was what he wore! He wore a hauntingly familiar grey
tunic, adorned
with green piping.
"It is.." Neptune started to say.
"The uniform of the Generals!" Mercury whispered low.
"We are back, vampire!" A voice strangely like a blend of Jyou and Ikkakumon
rang
out. "We will finish what you started! For we are .. 'Reliability'!"
"YAAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWLLLLL!!!"
The Senshi were surprised by the howl coming on a cold north wind.
"Would you accept a friendly hand in dealing with your bat-problem?" A figure in
another grey tunic, with blue piping, asked. The young man speaking appeared
slim, but with
muscles, and a wild blonde top the mutton-style sideburns and thick eyebrows and
lashes,
sprinkled with blue and white hairs. His hands with large, with large, lupine
claws.
"We could use the help!" Reliability said with a smile.
"Anytime, Our Friend!" The stranger said with a slight growl. "Senshi! Follow
our
leads! We have fought this thing before. Hey! VemonMyotismon! WOLFCLAW!" The
stanger aimed for
the fiend's belly.
"HARPOON TORPEDO!" Reliability cried.
"Neptune DEEP SUBMERGE!"
"SHINE AQUA ILLUSION!"
Four attacks were targeted on one spot. As the fourth attack git his stomache,
VenomMyotismon doubled over and screamed a curse as he disintergrated and his
fogbank vanished.
"We.. have won.." Neptune asked, "Matsuo-san?"
"One battle. Hai!" The senshi said in a voice mixing Matsuo and Garurumon. "But
the war still rages. We must help our friends.. and you must help the Empirial
Family! And, we
are Matsuo Ishida and Garurumon no more! We are more.. we are FRIENDSHIP!"
"Friendship," Reliability spoke up, "Our friends are in need of our help!
Mercury!
Neptune! We will see you again soon enough. We must go." With that, the two
Digital-Senshi
vanished from sight.
"Come, Mercury!" Neptune smiled, "We have our orders!"
