Davis and his friends went down west to stop Byako and his forces. He had some help from his old friends in this battle, but it looks like he's going to need it. Byako used the power of his new Shadow Unit: Necromancer. With nanobot technology, Byako is capable of making copies from figures of a person's past by having nanobots be sent into the brain and tapping into the memories. Byako already made copies of three enemies Davis faced before: BlackWarGreymon, Chimeramon, and MaloMyotismon. Even though they are just copies, they are acting like the real thing.
"This is going to be most enjoyable." Byako said as he just watched the show unfold. While they were fighting, Magnamon flew over the ship and saw what was happening. He was shocked to see the copies.
"It can't be..." Mangamon said as he thought they were real.
"Magnamon, move!" Angemon called as he hurried and pushed Magnamon out of the way from a series of attacks. "Magnamon, keep your focus on the fight."
"Angemon, just look at that ship! Davis is in trouble!" Magnamon said as he pointed to what was happening. Angemon saw what was happening and was shocked himself. T.K. and Cody had a look themselves as to what was going on. Using a pair of binoculars, they soon had their eyes land right where Davis was fighting.
"Cody... Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" T.K. said as none of them wanted to believe it.
"I do. They're back. How is that possible?" Cody said.
"I don't know, but Chimeramon and MaloMyotismon do look a lot smaller than they did before." T.K. said. "The worst part is that Davis is fighting them alone."
"Submariemon should be able to get to that boat and sink it." Cody said.
"Wait, Cody. That might not do anything. In fact, it might put Davis in a greater disadvantage." T.K. said.
"There has to be something we can do to help Davis." Cody said.
"I think all we can do is hope for the best at the moment." T.K. said, but they didn't like doing that alone. This wasn't looking good at all. Davis was in real trouble as it was three dangerous figures against one. They certainly didn't waste any time in attacking. BlackWarGreymon and MaloMyotismon attacked him from both sides, but Davis flew straight up and avoided them.
"Going somewhere?" MaloMyotismon taunted as he stretched out his tail and got it around Davis' leg and trapped him. While he held him down, Chimeramon came at him and smashed one of his arms against him and knocked him against the boat. MaloMyotismon tried using his tail to strike him, but Davis knocked it back with his sword and kept fighting.
"Come on, Davis. You can take them." He told himself as he was trying to motivate himself to keep the fighting. "It doesn't look like these cheap copies have the same powers as the originals. That means they're not as strong. You can take these fakes."
"I wouldn't be babbling if I were you!" BlackWarGreymon called as he tried attacking him with his claws, but Davis deflected his attacks and kicked him back. Chimeramon came down at him from above. Davis moved out of the way as he stomped down, but MaloMyotismon swung his tail around and smashed it against Davis with Davis getting knocked back down. They might be fakes, but they are strong and Davis is getting overpowered.
"Overpowering this fool is an easy task, at least for me." Byako said as he was confident in this win. The three of them kept attacking Davis and he kept getting punched around. He ended up getting knocked around and it looked like he didn't have much left.
"This is quite enjoyable." MaloMyotismon said as he acted like the real one, acting cynical and malicious. He grabbed a hold of Davis and lifted him up. "Well, this takes me back, Davis. It takes me back to that dream world."
"What are you talking about? You weren't there. You're just a mere fake from the original." Davis said.
"I recall that you alone resisted my power. You were the only one willing to fight when the others were too scared." MaloMyotismon said. "You claimed you had everything you wanted because you had you friends and family with you. Well, where's all that tough talk now? Where are those friends of yours? Not so touch without them, are you?" He swung his tail around and smashed it against Davis without dropping him. "Don't think I'm going to make this quick. I'm going to enjoy seeing you squirm, enjoy torturing you for messing everything up."
"Davis!" Magnamon called as he tried flying over to help him, but some soldiers were still trying to fight and kept him away from Byako's ship.
"Davis, hold on!" Houki called as she tried to do the same thing, but only got the same result. MaloMyotismon continued to torture Davis and he looked like he was in bad shape. His I.S. couldn't protect him much longer. Byako found cynical amusement in all of this.
"What should I do with you now?" MaloMyotismon questioned.
"You shouldn't torture him like this. Just get it over with." BlackWarGreymon said.
"Not just yet. This had so much fun." MaloMyotismon said. "I never realized how much fun it was to torture someone like him. You truly are an amazing human, Davis Motomiya. You can take so much, and that makes fighting and torturing you that much more enjoyable. I'm starting to think I might have actually missed you."
"Is that so? I'm getting tired of this little reunion." Davis said as he was getting serious. Davis didn't seem scared or even broken from what he went through. "You're talking like you're the real thing, but you're not. You're just copies of what I have faced before. If the real thing couldn't beat me, what makes you think you fakes can? Maybe you are their spirits reincarnated, but that just means I'll beat you again." Something was going on as a few sparks were coming off the fakes that Byako noticed. MaloMyotismon did not take what he said kindly. It just made him furious.
"Shut your mouth!" MaloMyotismon shouted as he kept attacking him, but Davis didn't scream or anything. He glared right at them and it seemed like they were afraid of him.
"Get out of my sight you damned ghosts." Davis threatened.
"Such tenacity!" MaloMyotismon said. Something was happening as all the copies were breaking apart.
"Aw! What is happening?!" Byako questioned as this didn't go the way he expected.
"Damn you, Davis Motomiya!" MaloMyotismon shouted before he and the others broke apart to nothing with Davis dropping to the ground. "How did he do that?! It was like he scared them away!"
"Davis!" Houki called as she finally got through and landed down near him.
'How did he... Wait a minute!' Byako thought. 'The brain stimulates memory, but it also stimulates emotion. Is it possible that the emotions override and interfered with the nanobots?'
"What's up? Worried? You should be." Byako snapped out of it and saw Magnamon floating there. Byako looked around and noticed that all the ships were wrecked and his was the last one standing.
"It can't be!" Byako said.
"It is." Magnamon said. "My friends said we shouldn't attack the humans, but I'll make an exception for you!" Magnamon said. He actually threw a punch at Byako and knocked him right off the mass. However, Byako straightened himself up and tried attacking Magnamon with his scythe. He swung it at Magnamon, but Magnamon flew right over him and avoided the attack. Byako wasn't going to go down without a fight, but he looked down and saw Houki was glowing and it looked like she was healing Davis.
"Davis, are you okay?" Houki said. "Can you keep going?"
"Yeah. I'm getting there." Davis said as he managed to get back up. He looked up and he could see the fear and worry on Byako's face. Davis took a little enjoyment in the fact that the enemy was afraid. "What's the matter, Shirotora? Didn't you say something about how you were unbeatable? Funny. You don't look that way now. Probably because you don't have the option of running away and quitting this time."
"No! This can't be happening!" Byako said as nothing was going as he wanted it to. "I'll just have to create a whole new set of enemies for you to beat!"
"Magnamon, launch a widespread attack! He's got tiny robots in the air!" Davis said. Magnamon didn't hesitate to do that.
"Magna Explosion!" Magnamon unleashed a blinding light that had some destructive power. The force of the attack pushed Byako back and blinded him. That gave Davis the chance he needed as he flew straight at Byako and attacked.
"Seiza Surasshu!" Davis flew straight at Byako and unleashed his signature attack against Byako. He took Byako out in one shot with him falling right in the water and his Necromancer was destroyed.
"Yeah! That's how you beat one of those jerks!" Houki said.
"We did it! We managed to beat the western forces." Magnamon said as they were all thrilled about the triumph they just had. They held off an entire force and now they managed to get one of the Four Heavenly Kings. As Byako just floated in the water, it marked one of them down and only three to go.
...
The East
Seyu was leading his own force coming from the east. They made their way through a forest area and were heading closer and closer to their target. Seyu just stood at the front of his own little ride. With him seeing the city just ahead, he awaits with anticipation for the battles.
"Master Ryudoragon! I have troubling news!" A soldier called as he rushed over to him.
"What is it?" Seyu questioned.
"I received word with the western forces. It sounded like they were in a battle, but I soon lost contact. I've tried to reestablish it, but no one is responding. Something might have happened." The soldier reported.
"The wester forces you say?" Seyu questioned. "That's rather odd. Byako might be an ignorant and arrogant little scoundrel, but could he have ran into some trouble already?"
"Sir, we just detected enemies in front of us!" Another soldier reported.
"So they cam after all, have they?" Seyu said as he looked ahead to see who he was fighting. Ahead of the enemy were Serene, Cecilia, and Charlotte. All three of them stood facing the enemy. With their I.S. ready for action, the three of them readied themselves for fighting Seyu. "I had a feeling this might happen. I suppose it can't be helped, but these ladies must be punished for interfering with Rogue Nirvana." This dragon might be a gentleman, but he just might have to lay his hands on these ladies.
...
Davis: Next time, it looks like the gentleman dragon is going to have to get his hands dirty and fight the girls, not that I'm rooting for him to beat the girls. Either way, it looks like Cecilia's going at him and it seems like it's a showdown between two snipers. The one with the bigger gun might be the winner.
Next Time: Fire Away
Wait. Why's Kari there and not with me?!
