Guard Tamer: Blight of GAIA
By: RB3
Chapter 3: The Awakening of Chaos
The DD met again after school on the next day. Izzy was in the computer room monitoring the computer. Tai was there as well. All the other DD were giving Izzy the lowdown on what transpired yesterday. Izzy listened on intently; his curiosity was piqued.
"Makes me wonder if the Digidestined are needed anymore... Those Guard Tamer guys could probably guard the Digital World for us; there are more of them than there are of us," wondered Izzy.
"While there are more good guys, more bad guys have come up too..." remarked Tai, envisioning armies of Blood Knights and Digimon. "Besides, I can't just sit down and let the Guard Tamers handle it. We are still Digidestined. This is our responsibility as well."
"Tai's right. We don't know how strong these Blood Knights are. We should try to get the Guard Tamers' help on this. I know we will have to go up against the Blood Knights sooner or later," added Kari.
"I agree. We should try to get help from the Guard Teams of Digital City. We need to warn the other Digidestined too," suggested Cody.
"Let me tell the others. Someone should stay behind and watch the computer; I'll do that," volunteered Izzy. "The rest of you go to the Digital World and see if you can find Digital City or some Guard Tamers."
"Then it's settled then! We'll go back to Digitamamon's diner and ask him more about the Guard Tamers," concluded Yolei.
Every DD knew what needed to be done. As planned, Izzy stayed behind to get the others while Tai and the new DD went to Digitamamon's diner. Digitamamon's diner was so different than that of last night. Gone were the festivities and the decorations of last night. It was back to business as usual for Digitamamon. The DD asked him where the Guard Tamers might be found.
"I go to Digital City to get some supplies and check up on my brother who opened a new restaurant there. Lend me your laptop and I will show you where Digital City is."
The DD returned to the Real World and then re-entered the Digital World just outside of Digital City. The splendour of Digital City inspired awe in the DD. Buildings made of metal towered over a hi-tech paradise. The city itself shone brightly in the afternoon desert sun. The landscape was obviously artificially made. The DD were in a "national park" for Digital City. To their right, children were playing on the grass with their partner Digimon.
They approached and went around a bizarre building that looked like a hat. Inside were several scientists taking care of Digimon. The DD learned after questioning the scientists that the building was a research facility that raised Digimon. It was like a giant Humane Society or pet store. A young child and her parents came in and adopted a Kiwimon for a pet. The DD marvelled at how well Digimon and human got along.
The DD left to find more clues and came upon a dome shaped building. Inside was a mostly empty room with a Leomon guarding the other entrance. This Leomon stood in front of the door with an air of authority. The sounds of combat resonated behind the door. He kept a close eye of the activities of the DD. This Leomon stopped them when they tried to pass through his entrance.
Leomon blocked the path of the DD. "Sorry you may not pass. You must be registered to pass,"
"Say, Leomon, have you heard of a Guard Tamer named Akira?" asked TK.
"Akira? Why yes, he's fairly well known among the Guard Tamers. Why do you ask?"
"We're looking for Akira. We need to ask him something, it's very important," replied TK.
"He's probably out on a mission right now. I haven't seen him come in today. Akira and his companions usually come later in the day to train."
"What about Sheena or Debbie?" asked Kari.
"Same thing. They are part of Akira's squad; they would probably be with him on a mission."
"And Zudokorn?" asked Davis.
"Ah, yes he's in. He told me he'd be at the Tamers' club to the east of here. Try looking there."
The DD did as Leomon suggested and headed eastward to another, smaller dome-shaped building. Inside was a row of vending machines. The DD recognized Zudokorn among the crowd and called him out. He was quite pleased to see the DD. The DD introduced Tai to Zudokorn.
"I see you're all well, so what brings you to Digital City? I assume you've all come for a reason."
"Yeah, we would like to get the Guard Teams' help against the Blood Knights. We know we will have to go up against them sooner or later. We need all the help we can get."
"I see. The Digidestined are known for fighting threats to the Digital World like the Guard does. The Blood Knights are making their move even as we speak. I will try to hook you up with my Chief Cecilia and see if we can work something out. Come on lets go."
The DD and Zudokorn entered the office of Cecilia, Leader of Blue Falcon. It was a quiet place, made for processing paper work. It was a sharp contrast from the bustle and urgency of the communications room they just passed by earlier. She seemed like a gentle person from her looks. Zudokorn and Cecilia saluted each other as a greeting. Zudokorn explained to her about the DD's request for aid.
**************************************
Lillith suddenly pounced; her prey was a lone female Blood Knight. The Blood Knight was struggling to get Lillith off, unaware of her surroundings. Deramon, Darkfryer and their partners rushed the Blood Knight, tackling her to the ground. They dragged her away to a secluded area and knocked her out. Debbie stripped the Blood Knight of her clothes and put them on.
"You look like the real thing, Debbie," smirked Akira.
"Oh, shut up!" gasped an embarrassed Debbie.
"Go and get some information, but be careful. We don't want you to be found out," said Lillith.
"Good luck, Debbie," cheered Deramon.
Debbie scoured the camp, making sure to remain unseen by enemy eyes. She entered a shelter filled with crates of books. Debbie skimmed through the books, making sure to replace them exactly as she found them. She couldn't find anything of interest until she read a book dealing with this site. It appears that the site the Blood Knights were excavating used to be a headquarters for a group that protected the Digital World.
The Digimon who became the partners of the DD were kept here, as well as their Crests and Digivices. A group of Digimon called the Dark Masters were at odds with the former inhabitants of this area. These Digimon were created so that in the future they would battle the Dark Masters and defeat them. Of particular note was the fact that there was a dimensional gateway built on this site.
The book had instructions as to how to operate the gate. Operation of the gate required that the user place a group of cards into specific slots on a pedestal. Debbie noted some texts describing how such a gateway could be created. Debbie heard a series of footsteps closing in on her location. Debbie hid the book she found under her jacket and quickly sealed the crate. She pretended to be moving the crate into the tent.
"Ah milady, do you require assistance?" asked a gentleman-like voice.
"Ummm, no. I can handle this fine..." replied Debbie as she kept her face hidden.
Debbie instantly recognized the man by his voice. It was Commander Damien, a high-ranking officer of the Blood Knights. Debbie pretended to work to maintain her cover.
"OK, but do hurry up. We need those crates loaded and shipped out ASAP. Crimson is growing impatient."
"Yes sir!" replied Debbie.
Debbie quickly skimmed through the rest of the books and packed the important ones into an empty crate. She snuck out of the campsite as quickly as possible to avoid detection. The others loaded the books into their Digibeetle.
"Heh heh heh! Well he never said 'where' we load the books, now did he?" smirked Darkfryer.
"Good work Debbie, our leaders would like to see these books," congratulated Akira.
Sheena was scouting the area with a pair of binoculars. The door in the mountainside opened and out walked a tall, half-dragon, half-man hybrid. It wore black armour and hand claws. Sheena knew that Digimon looked familiar. It was the one she saw during her briefing! That Digimon was Chaos War Greymon! Sheena warned the others about her discovery.
They were very frightened indeed. The Chaos Generals were awakening sooner than anticipated. Sheena contacted her superiors with a warning. They were just as shocked as Sheena was when she first found out about Chaos War Greymon's awakening. The GT received new orders from the Guard Team leaders: join the attack once reinforcements come.
The risk was too great to allow another of the Chaos Generals to awaken. Reinforcements were already en route to attack the base. Bertran and Joy Joy, two friends and comrades of Akira, were nearby and heading towards Sheena's position. Other GTs were converging on the site of the base as well. The tension was rising in Sheena. She knew that combat was inevitable...
**************************************
A few hours later, the DD proposed their alliance to the Blue Falcon Chief Cecilia. She thought it was an excellent idea because the Guard could use any help they could find. Cecilia warned them not to get in the way of the Guard Tamers. They don't want any mishaps or misunderstandings to jeopardize the new alliance. A transmission came in for Cecilia and she stepped out to receive it.
All of a sudden, several Guard Tamers came running past the door to Cecilia's office. A horde of Rookie level Digimon followed them moments later. The DD wondered what the commotion was all about. Cecilia came in after the crowd ran past the door.
"What was all that about?" asked Tai referring to the running Guard Tamers.
"One of our Tamers just called in. The Blood Knights have managed to awaken one of the Chaos Generals."
"Chaos what?" asked Davis.
"Chaos Generals. Chaos WarGreymon, Chaos Seadramon, Chaos Piedmon and their leader Chaos Lord."
Images of the Chaos Generals flashed through the DD's minds as Cecilia mentioned their names. Cecilia described the general process through which the Chaos Generals were made. It involved the reconfiguration of uprooted Control Spires. Ken was especially perturbed by what use the Blood Knights put his spires to. The Chaos Generals were all the equivalent of Mega level Digimon, and powerful Megas especially.
"Who knows what kind of evil the Control Spires will infect them with?" asked TK rhetorically.
"We must stop these Chaos Lords or whatever they are called!" proclaimed Davis.
"It's Chaos Generals and I agree with Davis," agreed Kari.
"I feel the same way, but how can we take on four Megas, with only three Ultimate level Digimon? We're not strong enough to handle them," lamented Gatomon.
"I see your point. We're seriously underpowered and unprepared for them. We wouldn't stand a chance against four Megas," mumbled TK.
"Actually, you might not be so underpowered..." reassured Cecilia. "We have Mega level Digimon ourselves and chambers that can Digivolve Digimon. However, your Digimon must reach a certain level of experience and strength for it to work."
"That's no problem. Gatomon has Digivolved into Angewomon before, Patamon has Digivolved all the way to Magna Angemon as well, but they lost that power when we gave up our Crest power," informed Kari.
"Our Digimon are also DNA Digivolution partners!" added Yolei.
"Wonderful! Since you have Digivolved before, I'm sure our Digivolution chambers will help."
The DD all followed Cecilia to a large lab-like room. Electronic monitoring equipment hummed monotonously as scientists milled about the room. Another Patamon was busy at work operating various levers and switches. Near a large cylindrical device was a large, dominant control panel with keys and monitors. On this cylinder was a large monitor with a "ready" message displayed. A female scientist was busy writing on a clipboard, logging all readings from the instruments.
The scientist looked up and saluted Cecilia as she approached. Cecilia explained the situation to the scientist and the scientist nodded in understanding. Gatomon volunteered to be the first to Digivolve using the device. Gatomon stepped onto a panel resembling the barcode reader in supermarkets. Gatomon felt tingly as the reader sucked her into the chamber. Inside the letters of the Digital Language orbited around her like the rings of Saturn.
The scientist turned up the power on, and Kari connected her Digivice into the computer. On the large monitor, Kari could see her partner on the screen. Gatomon was also able to see her partner from a window of light in the chamber. They waved at each other. The scientist backed up Gatomon's data and hit the switch to start Digivolution.
"Gatomon Digivolve to... Angewomon!"
The DD watched awestruck as the Digivolution took place. Kari's Digivice began to glow, as if being energized by the machine. Angewomon materialized on the panel Gatomon used to be standing on. The machine worked like a charm and the DD were thrilled to no end, especially Kari. Angewomon regressed back to her Gatomon form, and was content about the machine's results. Agumon and TK's Patamon followed in Gatomon's footsteps, and from their panels emerged War Greymon and Magna Angemon. War Greymon and Magna Angemon were glad to be able to return.
"If you any other Digidestined need some Digivolving help, send them to one of the Guard Team leaders," announced Cecilia.
The DD thanked Cecilia for their help and were on their way.
**************************************
Hours later, the Guard Tamer reinforcements arrived. They joined up with Akira, Sheena, Debbie and their Digimon. They began a massive attack to burn the Blood Knight base to the ground.
"Heat Viper!"
Darkfryer was ensuring that the Blood Knights wouldn't have any Digibeetles to retaliate with. Several red and black Digibeetles were melted into piles of metallic goo and then dissolved into data. The Blood Knights scrambled for the Digibeetles that still remained. A volley of rockets flew at Darkfryer, but Darkfryer simply erected a barrier of darkness to protect himself.
He returned the favour with yet another volley of Heat Vipers. Several Blood Knight soldiers behind sandbags tried desperately to stop the rage of Darkfryer. Their machine guns blazed as they fired round after round of energy at their target. Despite their best efforts, they couldn't calm the fury of the beast. Darkfryer merely swatted them away like mere flies.
Tracers from Blood Knight and Guard Tamer guns lit the sky red as explosions resounded in the distance. Akira was frantically aiming the turret of his Digibeetle to shoot the enemy. A loud bang emanated from Akira's Digibeetle cannon as the shell punched a pothole into the ground. The enemy Digibeetle had no time to swerve out of the way and was trapped. The second shell struck the Digibeetle and disabled it.
Lillith had her hands full with two pesky Lillymon. Lillith always thought Blood Knight Lillymon were pansies and her opponents were no different. Lillith was, in her own mind, twice the woman and Digimon those two would ever be put together. She relished the idea of putting those two weaklings in their rightful place: broken, beaten, and on the ground. She waved her hands at two opponents and let loose a Darkness Wave. A haze of orange bats soared into her enemies.
"Hey Akira, didn't I look good beating up those Lillymon?" asked Lillith as if to show off.
Akira was always embarrassed by Lillith's attempts to impress him. Lillith wasn't very shy about flirting and showing off when she was in her Lady Devimon form. Still, Lillith knew her duties as a partner Digimon to a Guard Tamer and Digidestined. She was one who got results and fast. Lillith was one of the toughest Digimon around and Akira was glad she was an ally and not a foe.
The bats of Lillith's Darkness Wave ferociously harassed one of the Lillymon. The Lillymon waved her arms around frantically trying to shoo the bats away. Eventually the bats were too much for her and she dropped straight towards the ground like a bomb. Lillith smiled as she watched the Lillymon hit the ground with a thud and a cloud of dust. Suddenly, Lillith felt a sharp pain at her side.
Lillith turned her head to see her other opponent. The other Lillymon blindsided her while she was fighting the first. From the Lillymon's stance, Lillith could tell a Flower Cannon hit her. Lillith was furious. She didn't enjoy being blindsided by a sneak.
"You're going to pay for that!" she growled.
Lillith zoomed straight for the Lillymon with renewed vigour. Lillith dodged another Flower Cannon and scored a clean slap across the Lillymon's face. Lillith followed with a swift kick right to Lillymon's head and Lillymon joined her companion on the ground. She smiled at her accomplishment. The Lillymon she just polished off landed near Deramon's battlefield.
Deramon remarked a boot print on the head of the Lillymon who dropped in. "Nice kick!"
A band of five Meramon glared at Deramon. Their eyes burned with hostility and hatred. Deramon knew that these Meramon were out to kill. Deramon braced himself for combat with the monsters.
"Don't hog all the fun to yourself Deramon! Let me have a piece of them too!" begged Darkfryer.
"Royal Smasher!"
The Royal Smasher hit one of the Meramon like a cannonball. The Meramon made an almost humorous pained facial expression as he was struck. That Meramon had the wind knocked out of him. The force of the nut was so great that the Meramon was carried of his feet by it. Darkfryer used his Hybrid Arms attack and slashed one of the Meramon with his Kuwagamon arm. The Meramon crumbled into bits of black data and floated away.
"Fireball!"
Deramon and Darkfryer dodged all the meteors of flame. The Meramon were frightened. Two of their band were taken out, and their counterattack didn't do anything to Darkfryer. They made a run for it. Darkfryer and Deramon gave chase followed by Akira's Digibeetle. The Meramon reached the Digibeetle of their Blood Knight Tamer. A stream of energy bolts soared at the duo from the Digibeetle. The sudden stream of enemy fire took both Darkfryer and Deramon aback.
"Meramon Digivolve to... Skull Meramon!"
Darkfryer and Deramon stopped and realized they were lead into a trap. Before they could react, two Skull Meramon had chained Darkfryer down while the Digibeetle fired on him. The chain dug into Darkfryer's throat as one Skull Meramon tried to choke him. The other Skull Meramon chained Darkfryer's legs so he couldn't move. Deramon was pinned down trying to dodge the Metal Fireballs the third Skull Meramon was firing.
"Uh oh!" gasped a worried Sheena.
"This isn't good, where's Lillith? We could use her help right about now..." commented Akira.
"Look, there she is!" said Debbie as she pointed above.
Lillith came crashing down to the ground. An enemy Angewomon had hit her from behind. Lillith got up and charged her foe. A huge catfight erupted between the two with hair pulling and slaps across the face. Lillith was weakened by her previous battles and could not fight at her best. Angewomon finally got the upper hand prepared her attack.
"Celestial Arrow!"
The bolt of light slammed into Lillith's ribs and sent her tumbling to the ground. The GTs were more concerned about their other Digimon who were ambushed. Cal was released onto the battlefield and sent to assist the others.
"Gesomon, Digivolve to..."
Gesomon's body tapered at the top and turned into a demonic face. A gigantic navy blue humanoid body grew out of his underside. Several black tentacles sprouted and grew longer. A pair of white major tentacles burst upwards from his back and arced over Cal's shoulder.
"Marine Devimon!"
"Marine Devimon, go help the others!" ordered Sheena. "We'll help Lillith recover."

Hours later, the Guard Tamer reinforcements arrived. They joined up with Akira, Sheena, Debbie and their Digimon. They began a massive attack to burn the Blood Knight base to the ground.
"Heat Viper!"
Darkfryer was ensuring that the Blood Knights wouldn't have any Digibeetles to retaliate with. Several red and black Digibeetles were melted into piles of metallic goo and then dissolved into data.

He returned the favour with yet another volley of Heat Vipers. Several Blood Knight soldiers behind sandbags tried desperately to stop the rage of Darkfryer. Their machine guns blazed as they fired round after round of energy at their target. Despite their best efforts, they couldn't calm the fury of the beast. Darkfryer merely swatted them away like mere flies.
Tracers from Blood Knight and Guard Tamer guns lit the sky red as explosions resounded in the distance. Akira was frantically aiming the turret of his Digibeetle to shoot the enemy. A loud bang emanated from Akira's Digibeetle cannon as the shell punched a pothole into the ground. The enemy Digibeetle had no time to swerve out of the way and was trapped. The second shell struck the Digibeetle and disabled it.
Lillith had her hands full with two pesky Lillymon. Lillith always thought Blood Knight Lillymon were pansies and her opponents were no different. Lillith was, in her own mind, twice the woman and Digimon those two would ever be put together. She relished the idea of putting those two weaklings in their rightful place: broken, beaten, and on the ground. She waved her hands at two opponents and let loose a Darkness Wave. A haze of orange bats soared into her enemies.
"Hey Akira, didn't I look good beating up those Lillymon?" asked Lillith as if to show off.
Akira was always embarrassed by Lillith's attempts to impress him. Lillith wasn't very shy about flirting and showing off when she was in her Lady Devimon form. Still, Lillith knew her duties as a partner Digimon to a Guard Tamer and Digidestined. She was one who got results and fast. Lillith was one of the toughest Digimon around and Akira was glad she was an ally and not a foe.
The bats of Lillith's Darkness Wave ferociously harassed one of the Lillymon. The Lillymon waved her arms around frantically trying to shoo the bats away. Eventually the bats were too much for her and she dropped straight towards the ground like a bomb. Lillith smiled as she watched the Lillymon hit the ground with a thud and a cloud of dust. Suddenly, Lillith felt a sharp pain at her side.
Lillith turned her head to see her other opponent. The other Lillymon blindsided her while she was fighting the first. From the Lillymon's stance, Lillith could tell a Flower Cannon hit her. Lillith was furious. She didn't enjoy being blindsided by a sneak.
"You're going to pay for that!" she growled.
Lillith zoomed straight for the Lillymon with renewed vigour. Lillith dodged another Flower Cannon and scored a clean slap across the Lillymon's face. Lillith followed with a swift kick right to Lillymon's head and Lillymon joined her companion on the ground. She smiled at her accomplishment. The Lillymon she just polished off landed near Deramon's battlefield.
Deramon remarked a boot print on the head of the Lillymon who dropped in. "Nice kick!"
A band of five Meramon glared at Deramon. Their eyes burned with hostility and hatred. Deramon knew that these Meramon were out to kill. Deramon braced himself for combat with the monsters.
"Don't hog all the fun to yourself Deramon! Let me have a piece of them too!" begged Darkfryer.
"Royal Smasher!"
The Royal Smasher hit one of the Meramon like a cannonball. The Meramon made an almost humorous pained facial expression as he was struck. That Meramon had the wind knocked out of him. The force of the nut was so great that the Meramon was carried of his feet by it. Darkfryer used his Hybrid Arms attack and slashed one of the Meramon with his Kuwagamon arm. The Meramon crumbled into bits of black data and floated away.
"Fireball!"
Deramon and Darkfryer dodged all the meteors of flame. The Meramon were frightened. Two of their band were taken out, and their counterattack didn't do anything to Darkfryer. They made a run for it. Darkfryer and Deramon gave chase followed by Akira's Digibeetle. The Meramon reached the Digibeetle of their Blood Knight Tamer. A stream of energy bolts soared at the duo from the Digibeetle. The sudden stream of enemy fire took both Darkfryer and Deramon aback.
"Meramon Digivolve to... Skull Meramon!"
Darkfryer and Deramon stopped and realized they were lead into a trap. Before they could react, two Skull Meramon had chained Darkfryer down while the Digibeetle fired on him. The chain dug into Darkfryer's throat as one Skull Meramon tried to choke him. The other Skull Meramon chained Darkfryer's legs so he couldn't move. Deramon was pinned down trying to dodge the Metal Fireballs the third Skull Meramon was firing.
"Uh oh!" gasped a worried Sheena.
"This isn't good, where's Lillith? We could use her help right about now..." commented Akira.
"Look, there she is!" said Debbie as she pointed above.
Lillith came crashing down to the ground. An enemy Angewomon had hit her from behind. Lillith got up and charged her foe. A huge catfight erupted between the two with hair pulling and slaps across the face. Lillith was weakened by her previous battles and could not fight at her best. Angewomon finally got the upper hand prepared her attack.
"Celestial Arrow!"
The bolt of light slammed into Lillith's ribs and sent her tumbling to the ground. The GTs were more concerned about their other Digimon who were ambushed. Cal was released onto the battlefield and sent to assist the others.
"Gesomon, Digivolve to..."
Gesomon's body tapered at the top and turned into a demonic face. A gigantic navy blue humanoid body grew out of his underside. Several black tentacles sprouted and grew longer. A pair of white major tentacles burst upwards from his back and arced over Cal's shoulder.
"Marine Devimon!"
"Marine Devimon, go help the others!" ordered Sheena. "We'll help Lillith recover."
