Me: Okay, people-two things before I start this chapter: One, I don't own Digimon or Pokemon, and any authors-other than myself-or any other Digimon-other than BlackTerriermon.
Rika: And, the second one?
Me: That in real life, Frozen Phoenix and I are just friends. F-R-I-E-N-D-S. Get it? Got it? Good.
BlackTerriermon: (sarcastically) Sure-(has a bandanna stuffed in his mouth)
Me: (grins; imitates The Rock) Know your role and shut your mouth, partner!
Rika: (laughs) Serves you right for sticking your nose in where it doesn't belong!
BlackTerriermon: (muffled speech) Just wait till I Digivolve-then you won't be so gutsy!
Digimon Tamers/Pokemon: Three Worlds Collide
Chapter VI-Unlocking the Powers of Darkness
"Friendship is weakness! Fighting, struggle-that is my life!" -Black WarGreymon
"Even if your life is all fighting and struggle, it can still have meaning..." -Agumon, "Duel of
The WarGreymon"
The Tamers, the author/Tamers and the band of Pokemon trainers gasped in surprise at seeing a darker version of Gallantmon, the holy knight who had once protected them! This time, would he still side with them, or would he be against them?
"It's time for you to pay penance for what you have done, Millenniummon! DEMON'S DISASTER!!!"
The Dark God Digimon grunted in surprise-that attack had actually hurt, but it wasn't enough to defeat him!
"Well, well, well...you've got some power inside that body of yours, after all. But, it's still not enough for you to best me! ULTIMATE FUSION!!!"
ChaosGallantmon roared as he used his shield and was able to deflect the attack, yet he sent it flying towards the others!
"Aw, nuts!" BlackTerriermon exclaimed worriedly. "We're finished!"
Biomerge Digivolution!
"Biomerge, activate!" Henry yelled out as he pulled out his Digivice and transformed into data while merging with Terriermon at that precise second!
"Terriermon Biomerge to...MEGAGARGOMON!!!"
The massive Machine Digimon grunted loudly as he used his back to absorb the attack, which nearly caused him to deDigivolve!
"Are you okay?" Jeri asked MegaGargomon worriedly, but the Mega Digimon simply nodded before refocusing his attention on blocking the attack.
"Momentai-it's nothing Henry and I can't handle, Jeri, so don't worry your pretty little head-we've got it alllllllll under control!"
"Terriermon!"
"We've got to do something! So far, only you and Drake have actually Biomerged, and we've been stuck on the sidelines watching you guys get your butts kicked!" ML ranted heatedly while DarkGabumon nodded in silent agreement.
"But what can we do? Now, we aren't just facing Millenniummon, but also ChaosGallantmon." DC murmured while feeling BlackTerriermon's claws gently press against his shoulder blade.
"If you and I could just Biomerge, we might have a chance!" BlackAgumon insisted to Phoenix, who acknowledged her partner with a silent look.
"True, this battle may be in our favor-against ChaosGallantmon, but not against Millenniummon. Remember-he's a Dark God Digimon, and he's connected to Ryo-whatever happens to one, happens to the other, but that could only probably happen if one of them were to die."
"Sure-bring up everybody's hopes for Ryo to actually die, then watch-he'll find some way to cheat death!"
"BlackTerriermon!"
MegaGargomon was finally able to block the attack, but it caused him to deDigivolve back to Henry and Terriermon!
"We're fine..." Henry gasped while Jeri ran up to him, a worried look etched in her eyes.
"Like I said, Jeri-nothing me and Henry can't handle!" Terriermon added.
"Sure, Terriermon-just keep telling yourself that."
"That's it! I'm not gonna stand here and let Pineapple head get consumed by evil, like I did. Ai, Mako-time to go to work!" Impmon advised as he transformed into Beelzemon, then into Beelzemon: Blast Mode! Instantly, the Virus Digimon flew forward, eager to join the fight, until he was blasted back by a shield!
"What gives? There wasn't anything here before!"
Millenniummon grinned evilly while taking his attention away from ChaosGallantmon, who, after one or two hits, seemed ready to pass out. "Did I forget to mention that I put a forcefield up that protects me as well as my competition? Although, I must put my new plan into effect, unless you would just give me my Tamer..."
"You're...just as deluded as...IceDevimon!" Rika gasped while waking up and staggering to her feet before dropping to her knees in pain, feeling the impact of the attacks ChaosGallantmon had receieved, Renamon helping her Tamer up into a standing position.
"Perhaps, but whereas he was a mere Champion, I am a God Digimon, and I want my Tamer back! Now...to finish off the only one who has a half a chance of defeating me. DIMENSION DESTROYER!!!"
ChaosGallantmon growled angrily as he quickly turned and rose his shield to the air. "JUDECCA PRISON!!!"
WHAM!!! The two attacks collided fiercely, causing a gigantic explosion at that instant, everyone trying to remain upright.
"There's gotta be something we can do to help them out!" Ash cried out while making sure Misty was okay, as well as everyone else.
"There is, but it would require me to do something...something that has never been tried in all of history."
Everyone turned to Mewtwo, who had a determined look on his face.
"What's that?" Richie asked calmly.
"Hold out your Pokeballs, and all will be revealed."
Confused, Ash, Misty, Brock, Gary, Richie, Casey and Team Rocket held out their Pokeballs as best they could, Pikachu and Meowth immediately hopping down to the nearest Pokeball. Mewtwo's eyes narrowed and glowed a fierce color of blue as energy, psychic energy, soared out of his hands and struck the Pokeballs, not only charging the Pokemon inside them up, but giving them the power needed to withstand Millenniummon's attacks and to deliver some earth-shattering blows of their own! Pikachu and smiled excitedly as he felt his power levels rise up just as he felt the day when he and Ash had tried for the Earth Badge and Flint, Brock's father, had powered him up the night prior to Ash's rematch. Meowth felt his own attack level rise up, too, just not as much as Pikachu's had.
"Pikachu...are you all right?"
"Pikachu!"
"Okay! Thanks, Mewtwo...ahh!"
Ash instantly ran over to Mewtwo, the others following suit when they'd seen what had become of the Psychic Pokemon. He'd drained himself of almost all his Psychic energy!
"Don't worry about me...I still have enough power to make it back to Mt. Caina so I can
rejuvenate myself while inside the river. Use my powers wisely, and defeat Millenniummon!"
That said, Mewtwo grunted as he vanished in the blink of an eye.
The battle between ChaosGallantmon and Millenniummon had grown cataclysmic! For every attack that hit ChaosGallantmon, Rika would feel his pain. And, for every attack that hit Millenniummon, the Dark God would feel a twinge of pain.
"Truly, you are powerful in this stage. But, that won't nearly be enough to save you! ULTIMATE FUSION!!!"
The Dark Knight Digimon was barely able to use his lance to send the attack flying back at Millenniummon, while the Tamers and the authors/Tamers watched this scene unfolding before them.
"Would having you two Biomerge change the outcome of this battle? Technically, all of you would be Virus-type Digimon!" DC advised. Phoenix eyed him with a calculated, yet irritated, look at that second.
"In case you've forgotten, BlackMegaGargomon's also a Virus-type."
"Yeah,but he's a Virus/Data-type, not a pure Virus Digimon!" DC sighed while stopping the conversation at that moment, coming to the conclusion that his friend was right, and something had to be done to stop them both, even if it meant deleting them.
"Okay...go for it. I'm not happy about this, but I'm willing to support you on this."
"Thanks."
"Are you ready for this, Dark Gabumon?"
"You bet, ML!"
Determined to stop these two feuding Digimon, Phoenix and ML pulled out their Digivices and rose them to the sky.
Biomerge Digivolution!
"Biomerge, activate!" Phoenix and ML chorused as they both transformed into data and merged with BlackAgumon and DarkGabumon.
"BlackAgumon Biomerge to...BLACK WARGREYMON!!!"
"DarkGabumon Biomerge to...BLACKMETALGARURUMON!!!"
The Tamers and author/Tamers-as well as everybody else-gasped in amazement at seeing two familiar Digimon, but completely covered in black and grey armor instead of the usual white, gold and blue!
"Black WarGreymon, a Virus Digimon. Mega level! His Terra Destroyer and BlackTornado attacks are unparalleled! Then, there's BlackMetalGarurumon, same troublesome type, same troublesome level. His Black Giga Missile and Black Ice attacks are cold to the touch!"
"Wow! Who would've thought that could happen? There's no way Millenniummon can beat these two!"
DC lowered his Digivice and glared at his partner, who grinned sheepishly. "And, yet, he was able to defeat us, Gallantmon: Crimson Mode, and a significant number of Ash's strongest Pokemon! What does that tell you?"
"Uh...nothing! Not a single thing!"
Millenniummon smirked as he allowed the forcefield protecting himself and ChaosGallantmon to vanish, then he himself shimmered out of view, but not before responding, "It's time for me to carry out my ultimate plan. Don't stay here too long..."
Inside her sphere of darkness, Phoenix was astonished-she'd actually become a Digimon! And, yet, despite the viral tendencies that just wanted to destroy anything in sight that were inside her, she stayed focused on what she had to do.
"I know I'm not gonna get any medals for doing this, but...STOP RIGHT THERE!! BLACKTORNADO!!!"
ChaosGallantmon grunted in surprise as he was caught inside of a large-and getting larger-tornado, and the bigger it got, the more trapped he was, until he launched a counterattack of his own.
"I don't think so, Rookie! You may be a Mega, but I've been at this far longer than you have! DEMON'S DISASTER!!!"
This powerful fire attack was fired from ChaosGallantmon's lance, and BlackWarGreymon roared while revealing his infamous shield of Darkness-that didn't bear the symbol of Courage-and barely deflecting the attack!
"Allow me to help. BLACK ICE!!!"
The Dark Knight Digimon (A/N: It feels weird to say that, since I'm not writing a Batman story. Rika's Note: Will you just shut up and continue with the story?!!) screamed while being bombarded by numerous icicles a second later as BlackMetalGarurumon entered into the battle.
"What kept you?" Phoenix asked, a cynical grin on her face while inside her sphere.
Inside his own sphere, ML replied, "Decided to track down Millenniummon-he vanished, obviously. And, I thought you could handle our traitorous leader over there."
Narrowing her eyes ever so slightly, Phoenix spat out, "Two things: one-he's not a traitor! If he was, he would've attacked us. Two-I can handle anything that comes my way!"
"And, the fact that he's aiming a lance directly at your back right now isn't convincing you of that coming true?"
Turning at that second, Black WarGreymon saw ChaosGallantmon charging up his Demon's Disaster attack once again before firing it! The Mega Digimon instantly brought his shield up once more to defend. (A/N: Yes, I know Phoenix is a girl, but from what I've read while being online, the human that merges with his/her partner is basically a battery-a talking battery, matter-of-fact. Go to http://www.dejimon.com/volve.htm to find out more.)
"Can you two argue about this later? He's going to destroy you both if you can't work together!" Rei suddenly cried out while running up to where DC and BlackTerriermon were at, Tigramon at her heels.
"For once, she has a point."
"I wasn't talking to you!"
DC groaned while refocusing his attention back onto the battle.
"She's right. If we're going to beat ChaosGallantmon, we'll have to work like Tai and Matt do on the show-and, not try to delete each other."
Phoenix laughed while recalling most of Tai and Matt's fights, the most recent one-when WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon had gotten involved in the 1st Season-still fresh in her mind, aside from the final bout in the 2nd Season concerning Sora.
"Deal. Now...let's take this Knight off his high horse."
"Now, the two of you will pay for stopping my battle against Millenniummon. JUDECCA PRISON!!!" ChaosGallantmon launched his most powerful attack from his own shield of Darkness, Black WarGreymon countering it instantly with his own.
"TERRA DESTROYER!!!"
WHAM!!! The two attacks collided and exploded fiercely in the air, causing a temporary quake that startled the others briefly before Black MetalGarurumon entered in.
"Time to bring you down, pal. Sorry, Rika, but this has to be done. BLACK GIGA MISSILE!!!"
The Virus Digimon screamed as he felt the pure impact of that attack and dropped to his knees, seemingly drained of all power. Narrowing his eyes in anger, Black WarGreymon flew up to the air before bringing his hands together to create a crimson globe of power, with an orange lining around it.
"And, now, the final test of judgement for our fallen Knight! TERRA DESTROYER!!!"
Inside his own sphere, Takato's anger faded away-albeit slowly-as he dropped his head in defeat. "I'm sorry, Rika...I failed you..."
"CRYSTAL SPHERE!!!"
BLAM!!! The massive attack collided with Sakuyamon's own personal shield-that protected both herself and ChaosGallantmon-before dissolving at that instant. Takato gasped in amazement as he felt tears brimming around his eyes. "R...Rika?"
With a smirk on her face, most of her wounds healed, Rika nodded once at her husband before responding. "In the flesh, Gogglehead...or, lack thereof."
A second or so passed before ChaosGallantmon screamed in silent agony and deDigivolved into Takato and a barely conscious Guilmon. A moment after that, Sakuyamon, Black WarGreymon and BlackMetalGarurumon deDigivolved into Rika, Renamon, Phoenix, BlackAgumon, ML and Dark Gabumon.
"I'm so sorry, Guilmon...Rika..." Rika smiled weakly as Takato pulled both her and Guilmon into tight hugs, Renamon showing the faintest hint of a smile on her face at that moment.
"This love-sap stuff is real great and all, but by any chance-can we all go home now? This is really starting to creep me out!" Exoduss noted irritably, most of the others starting to agree. A second later, Digikittyo123 spoke up.
"Come on! Did you guys take cowardice pills this morning, or what? We've been chosen to save our worlds from peril, and just because of one little mishap, you all want to go home? Forget it! We're going to save our worlds, and no one's gonna get in our way!"
"You heard her! We're gonna save our homes and our families-" Miyka added impatiently. "-so, get off your lazy butts and start acting like men, or you're gonna receive a knuckle sandwich from me and Balamon!"
Ryo laughed at that statement. "Most of Rika's threats weren't that deadly-"
"You want 'em to get deadlier than that, 'cause they can!" Rika spat out angrily, raising a fist to the air in Ryo's direction. Any other comment was halted as things started shaking up!
"What's going on here?!" Terriermon and BlackTerriermon cried out frantically.
"Color me crazy...but, I think Millenniummon's breaking the barriers protecting our worlds!" Takato exclaimed while holding Rika tightly, instinctively protecting her stomach, but not knowing why.
Looks like Millenniummon's keeping good on his word-he's breaking down the barriers protecting our worlds! Find out what the team of selected heroes are gonna do next time on "Three Worlds Collide!"
