Me: Hello, people! Once again, I don't own Digimon, Pokemon, or anything of the sort.

BlackTerriermon: Hey! What about me? You don't own me?!

Me: (groans) I also don't own any author or authoress in this story-other than myself-or any other Digimon that would appear-other than BlackTerriermon!

BlackTerriermon: (smiles) Great! Now, let's get to the story, hmm?

Me: What did you do?

BlackTerriermon: Nothing! Nothing at all!

(Rika and Misty scream loudly in the distance)

BlackTerriermon: (laughs lightly) Well…maybe one or two things, but they're minor!

Rika: (fire blazes in her eyes) YOU LOP-EARED CRETIN!! YOU DYED MY HAIR GREEN!!!

Misty: YEAH! YOU'RE GONNA GET IT!!

BlackTerriermon: Really? Well, you gotta catch me first! Dark Tornado!! (spins past the green-haired girls; grins) Come on, Joker harlots-catch me if you can!

Rika/Misty: (growl angrily, then runs after the spinning BlackTerriermon)

Me: (stifles laugh) Joker harlots? I'm not sure if the aforementioned villain would be offended by that, or if he'd get a kick out of it! (BlackTerriermon cries out in distance) Guess that means I have to risk an arm or a leg to save him. Onward to the next chapter! Also, to Rei, if you don't mind, I'm updating your Digimon's attacks-while she's at the Ultimate level.

Digimon Tamers/Pokemon: Three Worlds Collide

Chapter VIII-Crystal V.S. Fire!

"Stand up! There's a hero inside me…A rising target, there's no way I can lose…!" –Target~Akai Shougeki~

"Do good by stealth, and blush to find it fame." –Alexander Pope

The entire team of heroes gasped in shock and surprise they all saw a gigantic crystal appear above their heads and hung in front of them!

"You gotta be kidding me!" Terriermon and BlackTerriermon complained irately.

"Probably not. That's Moon=Millenniummon, a higher form of Millenniummon. His attacks-Death Crystal and Dimension Destroyer-are even deadlier in this form than they were before!"

"That's real comforting to know, considering that we just trounced on this guy!" Rika griped to DC while inside her sphere.

"BlackOmnimon should've been powerful enough to defeat Millenniummon…why didn't it work?" Phoenix growled lightly, wondering if DC had merged with BlackTerriermon again, and figured he probably hadn't.

"Surprised, children? Don't be. I warned you that I wouldn't rest until I and my Tamer are reunited once again, and I will keep my word!"

"Not today, Moon Millenniummon! FINAL JUSTICE!!!" Gallantmon raised his double-bladed lance to the sky and fired a pure blast of crimson energy, aimed directly at the center of the crystal! Instead of hitting it and causing the Mega Digimon damage, the attack collided with the crystal and bounced back, nearly hitting Gallantmon, had he not moved out of the way!

"Oh…did I forget to mention that while in this form, all known attacks can't possibly harm me in any way, shape or form! But, my attacks can cause critical damage to my adversaries, as Gallantmon will demonstrate…DEATH CRYSTAL!!!"

Immediately, three crystals appeared around Moon Millenniummon and soared for the Crimson Knight Digimon! Gallantmon grunted as he dodged one crystal, and then another, but the third one warped out of sight.

"Where'd it go? Keep searching, Guilmon!" Takato demanded while inside his sphere.

"Okey-dokey, Takato!"

"That's it! I'm not about to just stand here and let you badmouth my friends anymore!" Akira screamed loudly inside his sphere as WarVeedramon glowed a dangerous dark color.

Mode Change Digivolution!

"WarVeedramon Mode Change to…WARRIOR MODE!!!"

"Come on, GranKuwagamon! We've wasted enough time in the Digital World as is."

"And yet, you were the one who agreed to the terms that led to our current predicament. We could be fighting the enemy as we speak, but you wanted to get stronger to help Lophead's partner save our worlds. Who wasted time, and who didn't?"

"…Just keep moving!"

Sadly, though, WarVeedramon's return to this battle was noticed for only a second, as the final crystal had ambushed Gallantmon from behind and had struck him in the back, which meant that Takato had felt the impact, which meant Rika had felt the pain!

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" Gallantmon roared in agony as he saw the impossible…his feet and legs were turning to crystal!

"Takato!" Everyone was shocked by this dramatic turn of events…Gallantmon, next to BlackOmnimon, was one of the most powerful Digimon they'd had! Would he actually fall by Moon Millenniummon's hand?

"I won't…give up…Moon Millenniummon!" Takato gasped while feeling his own body turn into crystal. "It'll take a lot more than this to stop me!" Takato's thoughts spoke differently, though.

"This can't be the end! If I only had an Alias card…but, I can't use it while Guilmon and I are merged!"

"How can you find joy in taking an innocent person's life? Pikachu…Thunder Attack!" Ash demanded angrily, not wanting his friend to die needlessly.

"Pika…CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!"

WHAM!!! The sparks of electricity struck the crystal, but it didn't cause any damage!

"Weren't you listening, you useless Trainer? None of your attacks can hurt me while I'm in this form!"

"'If at first you don't succeed…'"

(Yuuhi no Yakusoku plays in distance)

Takato gasped loudly inside his sphere as bit by bit, more of his body became crystallized by the second!

"Takato, hang on!" Rika screamed from inside her own sphere, feeling Takato's agony like it was her own…and, in a sense, it was. "We're counting on you to help us stop this demented freak…! I'm depending on you to lead us all home…!"

"Believe me, Rika…there's nothing more I'd like than to do just that…as well as to get you home in one piece…"

At that second, Gallantmon roared as the rest of his body became crystallized, to the shock of everyone else!

"TAKATO!!!" Inside her sphere, tears shimmered in Rika's eyes before streaming down her cheeks at that moment. Within seconds, her emotions changed from sadness to anger while Sakuyamon glowed a fierce bluish color.

"You'll pay for that…with your useless life. AMETHYST MANDALA!!!"

Chuckling lightly, Moon=Millenniummon observed the petals bounce off of the crystal before responding. "Some people just never learn…"

"Charizard…Flamethrower!!"

"CHARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!"

SMASH!!! Everyone gasped in surprise as Charizard's Flamethrower struck the crystal and the attack started to weaken it!

"NO!!! How…how can this be true? It's not possible!"

"Sure, it is, if you understand it. From what I remember while running into a Crystal Onix in the Orange Islands, fire attacks significantly weaken crystal-like entities. So, when you said no known attacks could harm you, you didn't even think about the fact that fire attacks could stop you!" Ash smiled wickedly as he pulled out another PokeBall before throwing it in the air. "Cyndaquil, Charizard…use your Flamethrower!"

"Cynda…quilllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!!!"

"CHARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

WHAM!!! Moon=Millenniummon howled as the two fire attacks caused more pieces of the crystal to crack.

"I'm not letting Ashy-boy take all the glory! Arcanine…Fire Blast!!"

"ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!"

"Vulpix, help out with your Flamethrower!!"

"You, too, Zippo!"

"FireTigermon, I know you're not a Pokemon, but you do have a fire-based attack, and that's essential to our success."

"Got it! Flaming Tiger!!"

WHAM!!! The force from these constant fire attacks struck the crystal protecting Moon=Millenniummon from all sides, and the pressure from the attacks finally caused the crystal to shatter, and Moon=Millenniummon to fade away. Instantly, Gallantmon was restored to normal, much to Sakuyamon's relief.

"YEAH!!! WE DID IT!!!"

"Pikachu!"

Everyone started cheering, pleased that they'd finally defeated the Dark God Digimon, until to their surprise, a portal opened, and out of it came none other than…

"GranKuwagamon?! Aw, man! I still need that card!"

"Are you kidding me? After all these years, and you still play the card game?"

"Hmm…" DC calmly stroked his chin while raising his eyebrows upward. "The only Tamer I know who's got a GranKuwagamon as a Mega Digimon…it's Rachel!"

BlackTerriermon grinned while waving up at the aforementioned Mega. "Yo, Puss 'n' Boots-you missed all the action! Where'd you guys go off to?"

"My Dimension Scissors attack may convince you otherwise, Lophead!"

BlackTerriermon laughed quietly and would've shot off a pretty good retort, but a bright flash of light, added with enormous laughter, halted any conversation from that moment on.

"Thank you all for helping me to reach my final stage in Digivolution!"

"As if things weren't bad enough already!" Rika yelled out a second later while, as Sakuyamon, she protected Gallantmon and herself with her Crystal Sphere attack.

"Out of the frying pan, into the fire…"

"Terriermon!/BlackTerriermon!"

"Now, mortal fools, tremble with fear as all of you are witness to the appearance of…ZEEDMILLENNIUMMON!!!"

As if this guy couldn't get anymore uglier! Find out what happens next time on Three Worlds Collide!
