Chapter 4: The Wrath of Chaos War Greymon
Several loud bang sounds ripped through the air as Akira returned fire on the Angewomon. Angewomon erected her barrier in response to his attack. Akira had her pinned down and continued to keep the pressure on. Angewomon couldn't risk bringing down the barrier and being hit. Sheena frantically punched away at the controls to administer some first-aid to Lillith. Lillith began to glow and got up from the ground.
"Ahahaha! Good as new, thanks for the healing, Sheena!" smirked Lillith.
"Take care of Angewomon for us, we're going to check up on our other Digimon."
The GTs sped away from Lillith to where Cal went. Cal was already there and roughing up one the Skull Meramon that was preoccupied with Deramon.
"Dark Deluge!" called Cal.
Cal exhaled a jet of flaming black ink from his mouth. The ink burned like acid as it drained the life of the Skull Meramon. The Skull Meramon flailed his arms as the force of the ink took him aback. Taking a deep breath, Cal prepared to spray a jet of pressurized water for the finishing blow. The jet of water was so powerful that the Skull Meramon was shot into the air as it hit him.
The Skull Meramon flapped his arms frantically to slow down his descent. He landed a several feet away from the battle in a cloud of dirt and dust. Cal lassoed one of Darkfryer's attackers with his tentacles and spun him around in a circle.
"I'm getting dizzy..." groaned the disoriented Skull Meramon.
Cal grinned. "You want me to let go? Sure, I'll let you go..."
Cal released his tentacles, which sent the Skull Meramon soaring straight into a tree. Darkfryer tossed the second Skull Meramon and he landed in a heap on top of his buddy. The GTs' Digibeetle arrived on the scene to see that their help was unneeded. The GTs found it quite amusing to see the Skull Meramon in a heap. The Digimon did quite a number on them and got everything under control. Everyone returned to the site where Lillith and Angewomon fought.
**************************************
Lillith and Angewomon were still duking it out for supremacy. They each fired Celestial Arrows and Darkness Waves that were either dodged or blocked. This time more Digimon had rallied to the aid of Angewomon. Lillith was also under attack by a Paildramon and a Magna Angemon. The GT Digimon were alarmed and rushed to the aid of their comrade.
"All of you focus your attack on Magna Angemon. He can use Gate of Destiny and heal! Neutralize him ASAP!" ordered Akira.
"Heat Viper!"
"Royal Smasher!"
Angewomon dodged, yet could still feel the force and intense heat of the plasma soaring by. She retaliated with a Celestial Arrow. Darkfryer took the holy energy full force in the chest and grimaced in pain. Magna Angemon saw Deramon's Royal Smasher coming and sliced the nut in half with Excalibur. In response, he drew a circle with Excalibur for the Gate of Destiny attack. Lillith caught on to Magna Angemon's gestures and cut him off.
"Darkness Wave!"
The energy bats interrupted Magna Angemon's preparations for Gate of Destiny. Lillith pressed her advantage with a pair of searing crimson eyebeams. The beams hit like a hard blow to the gut. Magna Angemon was blasted out of the air to crash-land on the ground.
Angewomon charged at Darkfryer but in her haste, did not see his hand coming in for a backhand. She gasped in pain as his hand momentarily crushed her. Darkfryer charged plasma for a Heat Viper and Magna Angemon narrowly rolled out of the way of the green stream. If Magna Angemon had reacted any later, the stream would have incinerated him.
Magna Angemon realized they were concentrating on him. He had already taken several crushing blows and was reeling. Any more would cause the break down of his form and subsequent return to his Patamon form. The enemy knew this and were merciless in their attacks. Deramon saw Magna Angemon on one knee, his breathing laboured from the effects of fatigue.
Akira locked onto Magna Angemon who was teetering on the edge of defeat. Refusing to allow his foe to recover, Akira hit the buttons to fire the Digibeetle cannons. Akira could see the tracers making a beeline for their victim. Magna Angemon convulsed in pain as each energy bullet struck him. With his energy depleted, Magna Angemon tumbled to the ground and reverted to Patamon.
A young boy emerged and rushed to onto the battlefield. "Patamon!"
Akira recognized him as TK, one of the Digidestined he encountered the night before. Akira was angered by the Digidestined's interference into Guard Tamer matters.
"Hold your fire!" shouted Akira.
Akira opened the hatch and stuck his head out. The DD were surprised by this sudden turn of events.
"What are you guys doing here? That was our Digimon you were attacking! What the hell were you trying to do?" screamed Akira furiously.
"We're sorry! We just came here to stop the Blood Knights," replied Cody.
"Sorry?" mocked Akira sarcastically. "The Digimon could have been killed by the battle. Not only that, Darkfryer and Deramon needed assistance and your attack made things worse! I have a right mind to sic my Digimon on you!"
"Akira, please calm down! No one was really hurt and they're genuinely sorry. They really want to help. The war will only escalate from this point on," said Sheena in an attempt to calm Akira down. "Anyways, I don't think I can let you enter the fight just like that. We'll have to ask for permission from our leaders."
"Don't worry, they will let us fight. We asked them earlier today and they said it was ok," replied Veemon.
Sheena confirmed the DD's story with HQ. Akira was still a bit reluctant, but he begrudgingly allowed them to join. The GTs and DD returned to the location where the Skull Meramon fought the GT's Digimon. After pummelling the Skull Meramon and their Blood Knight Tamer a second time, they stole their Digibeetle. Debbie took the driver's controls.
"We need a gunner for this Digibeetle, any volunteers?"
"Sure let me do it!" volunteered Davis.
Debbie showed Davis and the other DD the basics in operating the cannon of the Digibeetle. The DD learned very quickly about how GTs and Digimon used Digibeetles. Digimon are stored in the memory banks of the Digibeetle while their Tamers pilot the Digibeetle. The Digimon essentially existed in another dimension while in the memory banks. They could communicate with their Tamers through a radio-like system.
In essence, Digibeetles were both tank and armoured transport in one. Digibeetles brought Digimon to the battlefield and featured many features to assist Digimon on the frontlines. The DD saw that with the healing of Lillith and the cannon fire. Kari, Tai, TK and their Digimon joined Davis while the others rode in Akira's Digibeetle.
The GTs received a request for assistance from some allies fighting the Blood Knights. Akira recognized the voice on the radio as Joy Joy's, one of his close friends. She was attacked by one of the Chaos Generals and needed assistance. Since Akira and his peers were Elites, they had to take on the strongest Digimon, the Megas and Ultimates.
"Okay, you heard our friend, let's go help them out!"
"Can you tell us anymore about Chaos War Greymon, Akira?" asked Ken.
"You should talk to Sheena, she was the one who reported that Chaos War Greymon was awakened."
"If you know what Chaos War Greymon looks like, I don't need to tell you. I recall seeing a War Greymon with you?" asked Sheena.
"War Greymon is Tai's Digimon. Tai is in the other Digibeetle," responded Cody.
"Chaos War Greymon has black skin instead of orange. He's probably pretty powerful too, possibly more powerful than a typical Mega. He was made to be that way."
"We'd better be careful then," warned Armadillomon.
**************************************
Meanwhile, three Digimon faced off in a heated battle. Bertran and Joy Joy could feel the power emanations even inside their Digibeetle. A sudden explosion rocked their vehicle and Joy Joy almost fell out of her seat. This prompted an argument about how to deal with their situation.
"We can handle him! Why do we need to call some other Guard Tamers in to steal my... er 'our' glory away?" complained Bertran.
"Boys! Always trying to show off... Never wanting to admit they need help once in a while... I'm calling for help anyways! I don't care if you approve or not. I will not allow them to get killed out there!"
Joy Joy sent the message and got mostly negatives; the other GTs were preoccupied with fighting other Blood Knights. The tension was clearly visible on her face. Akira, Sheena and Debbie were the only GTs that were free to respond. Bertran and Joy Joy's Digimon, Myotismon and Angewomon, were doing their best to stop the beast that was Chaos War Greymon.
"Grisly Wing!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
A horde of bats and an arrow of light converged on their foe. Both attacks were easily brushed off by their foe. He was identical to Tai's own War Greymon with a few exceptions. Chaos War Greymon had coal black skin. He was clad in Chrome Digizoid armour and had gigantic hand claws like his counterpart. Yellow tubes adorned his armour like stitching on clothes. His fiendish expression was hidden from view by a horned helmet/facemask with openings for his yellow eyes.
"Black Tornado!"
Chaos War Greymon spun so fast that he became a black, living whirlwind. He propelled himself into the two like a bullet. They narrowly dodged the attack, only to have Chaos War Greymon recover and swing at the nearby Angewomon. The blow caught her between the eyes, disorienting her and causing her to fall headfirst towards the ground. Myotismon raced ahead and caught her just before she hit the ground. They both remarked at the strength of their opponent.
"Digivolve! You can't compete with him like this!" ordered Bertran.
"Myotismon Mega-Digivolve to..."
Myotismon covered his body with his cape and extended his left arm. It mutated into a claw covered with segmented armour. The same mutation transformed Myotismon's right arm. A pair of grotesque maws opened in his shoulders. Saliva dripped endlessly from the maws' lips like blood. His clothes ripped and his legs and body were replaced with segmented armour. A whip-like tail grew from Myotismon's rear. His teeth became serrated and a pair of demonic wings formed on his back.
"Malo Myotismon!"
"Angewomon Mega-Digivolve to..."
Angewomon's wings began to release feathers like falling leaves. She vanished and was replaced by the figure of a woman in the fetal position. She stood upright and armour began to form on her body. Ten wings of radiant gold sprouted from her back in pairs. A flash of blinding golden light engulfed Angewomon. When the light subsided a spear of gold and a shield appeared in her hands as she struck a battle-ready pose.
"Ophanimon!"
-------------------------Digimon Analyzer-------------------------
I am Malo Myotismon. I have Digivolved to the highest level: Demon Lord! My Crimson Mist burns like acid, and my Screaming Darkness will consume my foes in eternal darkness!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------Digimon Analyzer-------------------------
I am Ophanimon. I embody the light and goodness. With my Eden's Javelin, and Sefirot Crystal, I will cleanse the world of evil!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Crimson Mist!"
As Malo Myotismon called his attack, a red, billowing cloud of gas spewed forth from his maws. As the cloud travelled outwards, a hissing sound could be heard. Stones on the ground corroded away leaving nothing but foam in the cloud's wake. Slowly but surely, the cloud engulfed Chaos War Greymon. Malo Myotismon could hear hoarse coughing and hissing within the cloud. The coughing continued before suddenly stopping.
"Terra Destroyer!"
Chaos War Greymon raised his arms into the air for a sneak attack. A ball of red energy gathered between his hands and grew rapidly. It exceeded his size and was tossed at his enemies. Malo Myotismon was caught off guard and struck by the Terra Destroyer. The attack had hit so hard that he was knocked flat onto his back.
"Malo Myotismon, are you ok?" asked a concerned Ophanimon.
"I'm fine, just shook a bit," replied Malo Myotismon.
Ophanimon charged at Chaos War Greymon and the two exchanged blows. "CLANG! CLINK! CLANG!" went their weapons as each Digimon parried the other's blows.
"Sefirot Crystal!"
Ophanimon gazed through a crystal bearing the insignia of the Sefirot Tree. The crystal glowed and several spheres of holy energy erupted forwards. She led the spheres like remote controlled missiles to her victim. The holy energy collided with Chaos War Greymon exploded upon impact.
Chaos War Greymon gasped in pain as he was taken aback. "OWWWW! Nice shot! But you're no match for a Chaos General. I'll show you just how weak you really are!"
Chaos War Greymon spun like a tornado in preparation for his Black Tornado attack. Chaos War Greymon suddenly shot himself at his foe only to have Ophanimon narrowly dodge at the last minute. The two Digimon exchanged blows once again, with Chaos War Greymon gaining the upper hand. He scored a swipe on Ophanimon's chest with his Dramon Killer.
Chaos War Greymon then grabbed the dazed Ophanimon and tossed her into Malo Myotismon. Malo Myotismon wasn't too hurt by having Ophanimon crash into him, but Ophanimon didn't fare so well. He stepped forward to cover his comrade while his Tamers restored her health. Malo Myotismon decided that pay back was due.
"Screaming Darkness!"
A jet of inky darkness erupted from the maws of Malo Myotismon. The Screaming Darkness engulfed Chaos War Greymon and disrupted his composure. Chaos War Greymon quickly recovered and slashed vigorously to cut the darkness. He prepared and launched a Terra Destroyer, but this time Malo Myotismon blocked with a Screaming Darkness barrier. The Terra Destroyer dug into the shield before finally exploding and rupturing the barrier. The explosion sent Malo Myotismon crashing into the ground.
"HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! What a pitiful attempt!" laughed Chaos War Greymon. "Now it's time I put you out of your misery. A pity though; I was hoping you could have put up more of a fight..."
Chaos War Greymon approached his prey for the finishing blow. Ophanimon and Malo Myotismon were still down and unable to get up. Their bodies were dotted with black marks. Their wounds gave them much pain as they struggled to stand. Chaos War Greymon was in no hurry. It was as if he wanted to prolong their suffering. Chaos War Greymon grabbed Ophanimon by the throat.
"CLANG!" resounded the impact of Chrome Digizoid on Chrome Digizoid.
The sudden blow knocked chaos War Greymon forward. He dropped Ophanimon and turned to face his assailant. Looking at his assailant was like looking into a mirror, for it was the real War Greymon he was staring at. The two War Greymons glared at each with evident hostility. Unlike Chaos War Greymon, the normal War Greymon had orange skin and orange Dramon Killers.
Chaos War Greymon was greatly angered by this meddler. "You will regret what you have done!"
Before Chaos War Greymon could react, he was struck from behind. He scowled at his second assailant. This time, it was a Paildramon brandishing two cannons near his hips. Chaos War Greymon repositioned himself to ensure he wouldn't be blindsided again.
"Now why don't you fight me face to face instead of acting like cowards?" mocked Chaos War Greymon.
Several Blood Knight Digibeetles approached the site of the battle.
Chaos War Greymon smirked in satisfaction. "It seems you're not the only one with friends..."
Several Digimon materialized and surrounded the good Digimon. Malo Myotismon and Ophanimon kept their backs to each other as they were surrounded by a horde of Virus-type Greymon. War Greymon caught the attention of a Boltmon brandishing a sharp, gigantic battle-axe. A Mummymon and an Arukenimon leapt out of a Digibeetle and landed in front of Paildramon. Paildramon prepared to counter-attack the moment they made their first move.
"You kids have stood in our way long enough!" declared Arukenimon. "Now it's over for you!"
**************************************
Inside Akira's Digibeetle, the DD were tense with anticipation. Enemies surrounded all their Digimon. It was looking grim.
"We have to send more Digimon to help them!" urged Yolei.
"You said it, I'm going out there!" declared Hawkmon.
"Me too! I'm going out!" added Armadillomon.
Hawkmon and Armadillomon materialized onto the battlefield. Their other friends materialized as well and joined up with the surrounded Digimon.
"Hawkmon Digivolve to... Aquilamon!"
"Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to... Digmon, the Drill of Knowledge!"
"I want Chaos War Greymon!" demanded Darkfryer. "Let me Digivolve and I can beat him!"
Akira agreed.
"Chimeramon Mega-Digivolve to..."
The Roman numerals of the numbers one to twelve encircled Darkfryer. They spun faster and faster as they entwined and encircled around Darkfryer's body. The bands of numerals tightened and Darkfryer's form dissolved into data. Darkfryer's data was spun faster and faster in a spiral of time.
The spiral collapsed in on itself in a brilliant explosion and at ground zero stood a dark-skinned version of Chimeramon. A yellow, dragon shaped, flame erupted from his backside as huge Giga Cannons materialized. Darkfryer launched a colossal burst of energy and the resulting black hole annihilated a huge futuristic city. Darkfryer roared in triumph.
"Millenniummon!"
Darkfryer pointed at Chaos War Greymon. Darkfryer effectively challenged Chaos War Greymon with a crook of his fingers.
Chaos War Greymon's lit up with determination. "So you want me? Good, it's going to be fun tearing you limb from limb! Come on, I'll make this as painful as possible."
"Don't underestimate me, for I have powers greater than you can imagine..." hissed Darkfryer.
Digmon, Angewomon, Magna Angemon, Lillith and Deramon were facing off with other virus Greymon. They placed their backs to their partners' Digibeetles to prevent a sneak attack from behind. Cal was released near Ophanimon and Malo Myotismon. Aquilamon hovered in the air above Ophanimon and Malo Myotismon.
He was waiting for an opening should he attack the other group of Virus Greymon. Darkfryer and Chaos War Greymon glared at each other. Both held a great hostility for the other. All it took was one provocation before the two sides were at each other's throats... This provocation came in the form of a grenade exploding nearby. Each side mistook it as an attack by the other and charged into battle.
-------------------------Digimon Analyzer-------------------------
A Millenniummon's Dimension Destroyer cannons are weapons of mass destruction. It brings total annihilation wherever it is fired. In this form, Darkfryer has power over time and space itself with his Time Unlimited attack. When he uses it, his enemies' time has run out.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The fight was on! Sheer chaos erupted as explosions and energy blasts pounded the battlefield every second. The rumbling of footsteps and of bodies hitting the ground deafened the ears of any who would listen to the chaos. Chaos War Greymon lunged at Darkfryer as fast as he could. To his surprise, he caught only air. Darkfryer was nowhere to be found...
"Dimension Destroyer!"
Chaos War Greymon leapt into the air out of the path of a pair of violet beams. Time and space rippled and warped, drawing in all the stones on the mountainside. A sphere of warped space/time had devoured the side of a mountain, leaving nothing but a huge crater behind. He could feel a strong gravitational pull from the explosion. Chaos War Greymon raised his hands and formed a gargantuan ball of energy. Darkfryer braced himself for impact.
The force of the explosion was so great that tracks in the ground formed as Darkfryer was shoved back. Darkfryer fired several Dimension Destroyer blasts in quick succession. Moments before hitting, Chaos War Greymon dodged with superhuman speed. Chaos War Greymon could feel the pull of gravity and fought to avoid being sucked in. He was enraged by his enemy's attack and would show no mercy.
Chaos War Greymon soared straight for Darkfryer at top speed. He felt a strange tingling sensation, which he dismissed. Moments before contact Darkfryer suddenly vanished! He reappeared and nailed Chaos War Greymon with a hard blow to the head. Though reeling, Chaos War Greymon realized that his foe had manipulated time to score his hit. He had unwittingly entered a Time Unlimited zone and was slowed down.
Chaos War Greymon recovered and prepared another Terra Destroyer. He hurled the ball with all his might, but Darkfryer was ready for the attack. Darkfryer prepared to block the attack with dark power, but it proved too strong and punctured the barrier. He winced in pain as the blast bowled him over and flipped him into the air.
**************************************
Chrome Digizoid weaponry clanged as War Greymon and Boltmon squared off. Sparks flew as their Dramon Killers and axe grinded against each other. They broke their test of strength and were staring each other in search of an opening. Darkfryer suddenly came flying from the left! War Greymon narrowly dodged the body of his fallen comrade. This was Boltmon's chance. He threw his monstrous battle-axe at the distracted War Greymon only to have him dive out of the way at the last second.
However, War Greymon wasn't fast enough... Boltmon succeeded in getting a good cut into War Greymon's left shoulder protector. The cut was quite bad but fortunately, Digimon naturally have the ability to regenerate. The wound would heal fairly quickly if given time. War Greymon renewed his attack on Boltmon and Boltmon parried each and every claw swipe. The two broke off their battle and entered into another stare down.
Chaos War Greymon landed next to Boltmon, as if challenging his counterpart War Greymon. War Greymon knew he had no choice but to stand his ground; his enemies wouldn't be so merciful. Darkfryer opened his eyes to see the Digimon watching each other. He was still reeling from the pain, but the Digimon regenerative factor was at work healing the injury. He could hear the banter between the two War Greymons. All he needed was the right opportunity to strike his prey...
Fighting his two foes proved a difficult task for War Greymon. Chaos War Greymon in particular was incredibly strong and quite fast. War Greymon was struggling to defend himself from the onslaught of axe and Dramon Killer strikes. The strikes came almost every second, which forced him into a purely defensive mode.
A bone-shattering hit penetrated his defences and War Greymon hit the ground with a loud thud. Chaos War Greymon mockingly laughed at his fallen opponent. In the corner of his eye, Chaos War Greymon saw Darkfryer struggling to stand up. Darkfryer's body was bent forward, the signs of fatigue plain to see.
"You don't know when to quit do you? You should have stayed on the ground!" lambasted Chaos War Greymon. "Black Tornado!"
Chaos War Greymon spun like a whirlwind and soared at Darkfryer's body. Suddenly, Darkfryer's cannon's aimed at the whirling Chaos War Greymon. This was the mistake he was waiting for.
"Dimension Destroyer!"
Chaos War Greymon was unfazed by the attack, as he knew he would just plow through the beams. However, before the beams hit, they exploded and created a large gravitational distortion in front of Chaos War Greymon. He was caught completely off guard and flew straight into the vortex. He tried frantically to escape, but the force of the dimensional warp was too strong.
All Chaos War Greymon could do was make a muffled scream as the miniature "black hole" sucked him into the abyss. The black hole subsided with bits of black data evaporating into the air.
War Greymon was impressed. "I'm surprised you healed so fast."
Darkfryer grinned. "Guard Tamer Digimon can heal faster than an normal Digimon. I doubt Chaos War Greymon had enough time to be properly educated about these enhancements."
**************************************
Mummymon smashed his gun in Paildramon's ribs and followed with a point-blank electrical shot. Paildramon grunted in pain before collapsing onto the ground. Mummymon turned his gaze upwards to see Chaos War Greymon crushed by a black hole. His gaze soon turned onto Boltmon's unconscious body sprawled on the ground. Mummymon became very worried and his morale sank like a rock. Mummymon ordered a full retreat but was drowned out by the din of battle.
A tackle from behind by a renewed Paildramon rewarded Mummymon's momentary lapse of attention. Paildramon picked up the startled Mummymon and tossed him away. The word spread quickly that Chaos War Greymon had fallen in battle. Chaos War Greymon's death demoralized them to the point of initiating a full retreat. One by one the Blood Knight Digimon were returned to their Tamers' Digibeetles.
The Digibeetles vanished one after the other, as if transported away by a distant force. The Digimon of the Guard Tamers and Digidestined were distracted by a smoke bomb fired by the enemy. The Digimon were coughing, covering their noses and mouths and trying to blow the gas away. When the air cleared, the enemy was nowhere to be found... All that remained were the Guard Tamer forces that attacked the Blood Knight compound. The GT's cheered in triumph over a hard fought victory.
"Wheew! That was crazy!" remarked a sweat-soaken Davis.
"I'm glad it's over. I never seen anything so scary," said Kari.
"War is never a pretty thing," informed Debbie. "The war will continue as long the Blood Knights are free to do as they please."
"We'll definitely have to be more cautious when dealing with the Blood Knights."
"Thanks Akira, we owe you one!" thanked an elated Joy Joy over the radio.
"Hey, no problem!" replied Akira.
**************************************
The Guard Tamers quickly set up a garrison on the remains of the Blood Knight base. They searched the interior of the compound, which was built into the side of a mountain. All they could find were a few stragglers that were unable to retreat in time. Guard Tamer forces promptly arrested them for questioning. There were no traces of the remaining Chaos Generals. The Blood Knights had prepared for such an attack and moved them away during the commotion. Akira and the others had called it a day and returned to Digital City.
**************************************
Hours later in Digital City, the Gold Hawk chief Vandar received a transmission from a Guard Tamer spy, Yukio Oikawa. He was the one who leaked the information about the Chaos Generals to the Guard Teams the day before. His invaluable information lead to the raiding of the lab that created those monsters. Now they had one less Chaos General to deal with.
However, there was one niggling little detail that was on Vandar's mind... Vandar knew that the Chaos Generals were simply one part of a larger plan. The question was: "What is this larger plan?" Vandar hoped that his agent could get some clues to this plan.
"So Oikawa, I see you're well. We apologize for contacting you at such a rough time be we need more information," apologized Vandar. "Have you found anything more about the Chaos Generals?"
"Sadly no. They tightened security in the lab after I had sabotaged their project. Fortunately, they were unable to find out who did it."
"I see. Is there anything on the motivations of the Blood Knights for creating the Chaos Generals?"
"All I know is that they were built to be a part of a larger plot. The Chaos Generals were only a small part of the plan. It seems that Crimson is not the man who calls the shots with the Blood Knights anymore. Recently, a higher power has taken complete control and is now leading the Blood Knights. Crimson now reports to him directly."
"A higher power?"
"Yes, he is known as 'Overlord GAIA.' A very bizarre name I might add... There was also something else they spoke of that perplexed me."
"What is it?"
"There was another being that fought against Overlord GAIA before and sealed him away. Overlord GAIA obviously fears him greatly. Yet, even Overlord GAIA doesn't know where this being is..."
"Who is this being?"
"They never mentioned his identity. However, they did mention that this being would soon reappear for their final battle. They kept referring to this being as 'The Avenger,' but I don't know why they called him that. Perhaps the being is fighting Overlord GAIA to right the wrongs he committed."
"That sounds like something an 'Avenger' would do."
"Thank you very much Oikawa. See if you can find anything more on this 'Avenger' and the Blood Knights' true leader."

Guard Tamer: Blight of GAIA
By: RB3
Chapter 4: The Wrath of Chaos War Greymon
Several loud bang sounds ripped through the air as Akira returned fire on the Angewomon. Angewomon erected her barrier in response to his attack. Akira had her pinned down and continued to keep the pressure on. Angewomon couldn't risk bringing down the barrier and being hit. Sheena frantically punched away at the controls to administer some first-aid to Lillith. Lillith began to glow and got up from the ground.
"Ahahaha! Good as new, thanks for the healing, Sheena!" smirked Lillith.
"Take care of Angewomon for us, we're going to check up on our other Digimon."
The GTs sped away from Lillith to where Cal went. Cal was already there and roughing up one the Skull Meramon that was preoccupied with Deramon.
"Dark Deluge!" called Cal.
Cal exhaled a jet of flaming black ink from his mouth. The ink burned like acid as it drained the life of the Skull Meramon. The Skull Meramon flailed his arms as the force of the ink took him aback. Taking a deep breath, Cal prepared to spray a jet of pressurized water for the finishing blow. The jet of water was so powerful that the Skull Meramon was shot into the air as it hit him.
The Skull Meramon flapped his arms frantically to slow down his descent. He landed a several feet away from the battle in a cloud of dirt and dust. Cal lassoed one of Darkfryer's attackers with his tentacles and spun him around in a circle.
"I'm getting dizzy..." groaned the disoriented Skull Meramon.
Cal grinned. "You want me to let go? Sure, I'll let you go..."
Cal released his tentacles, which sent the Skull Meramon soaring straight into a tree. Darkfryer tossed the second Skull Meramon and he landed in a heap on top of his buddy. The GTs' Digibeetle arrived on the scene to see that their help was unneeded. The GTs found it quite amusing to see the Skull Meramon in a heap. The Digimon did quite a number on them and got everything under control. Everyone returned to the site where Lillith and Angewomon fought.
**************************************
Lillith and Angewomon were still duking it out for supremacy. They each fired Celestial Arrows and Darkness Waves that were either dodged or blocked. This time more Digimon had rallied to the aid of Angewomon. Lillith was also under attack by a Paildramon and a Magna Angemon. The GT Digimon were alarmed and rushed to the aid of their comrade.
"All of you focus your attack on Magna Angemon. He can use Gate of Destiny and heal! Neutralize him ASAP!" ordered Akira.
"Heat Viper!"
"Royal Smasher!"
Angewomon dodged, yet could still feel the force and intense heat of the plasma soaring by. She retaliated with a Celestial Arrow. Darkfryer took the holy energy full force in the chest and grimaced in pain. Magna Angemon saw Deramon's Royal Smasher coming and sliced the nut in half with Excalibur. In response, he drew a circle with Excalibur for the Gate of Destiny attack. Lillith caught on to Magna Angemon's gestures and cut him off.
"Darkness Wave!"
The energy bats interrupted Magna Angemon's preparations for Gate of Destiny. Lillith pressed her advantage with a pair of searing crimson eyebeams. The beams hit like a hard blow to the gut. Magna Angemon was blasted out of the air to crash-land on the ground.
Angewomon charged at Darkfryer but in her haste, did not see his hand coming in for a backhand. She gasped in pain as his hand momentarily crushed her. Darkfryer charged plasma for a Heat Viper and Magna Angemon narrowly rolled out of the way of the green stream. If Magna Angemon had reacted any later, the stream would have incinerated him.
Magna Angemon realized they were concentrating on him. He had already taken several crushing blows and was reeling. Any more would cause the break down of his form and subsequent return to his Patamon form. The enemy knew this and were merciless in their attacks. Deramon saw Magna Angemon on one knee, his breathing laboured from the effects of fatigue.
Akira locked onto Magna Angemon who was teetering on the edge of defeat. Refusing to allow his foe to recover, Akira hit the buttons to fire the Digibeetle cannons. Akira could see the tracers making a beeline for their victim. Magna Angemon convulsed in pain as each energy bullet struck him. With his energy depleted, Magna Angemon tumbled to the ground and reverted to Patamon.
A young boy emerged and rushed to onto the battlefield. "Patamon!"
Akira recognized him as TK, one of the Digidestined he encountered the night before. Akira was angered by the Digidestined's interference into Guard Tamer matters.
"Hold your fire!" shouted Akira.
Akira opened the hatch and stuck his head out. The DD were surprised by this sudden turn of events.
"What are you guys doing here? That was our Digimon you were attacking! What the hell were you trying to do?" screamed Akira furiously.
"We're sorry! We just came here to stop the Blood Knights," replied Cody.
"Sorry?" mocked Akira sarcastically. "The Digimon could have been killed by the battle. Not only that, Darkfryer and Deramon needed assistance and your attack made things worse! I have a right mind to sic my Digimon on you!"
"Akira, please calm down! No one was really hurt and they're genuinely sorry. They really want to help. The war will only escalate from this point on," said Sheena in an attempt to calm Akira down. "Anyways, I don't think I can let you enter the fight just like that. We'll have to ask for permission from our leaders."
"Don't worry, they will let us fight. We asked them earlier today and they said it was ok," replied Veemon.
Sheena confirmed the DD's story with HQ. Akira was still a bit reluctant, but he begrudgingly allowed them to join. The GTs and DD returned to the location where the Skull Meramon fought the GT's Digimon. After pummelling the Skull Meramon and their Blood Knight Tamer a second time, they stole their Digibeetle. Debbie took the driver's controls.
"We need a gunner for this Digibeetle, any volunteers?"
"Sure let me do it!" volunteered Davis.
Debbie showed Davis and the other DD the basics in operating the cannon of the Digibeetle. The DD learned very quickly about how GTs and Digimon used Digibeetles. Digimon are stored in the memory banks of the Digibeetle while their Tamers pilot the Digibeetle. The Digimon essentially existed in another dimension while in the memory banks. They could communicate with their Tamers through a radio-like system.
In essence, Digibeetles were both tank and armoured transport in one. Digibeetles brought Digimon to the battlefield and featured many features to assist Digimon on the frontlines. The DD saw that with the healing of Lillith and the cannon fire. Kari, Tai, TK and their Digimon joined Davis while the others rode in Akira's Digibeetle.
The GTs received a request for assistance from some allies fighting the Blood Knights. Akira recognized the voice on the radio as Joy Joy's, one of his close friends. She was attacked by one of the Chaos Generals and needed assistance. Since Akira and his peers were Elites, they had to take on the strongest Digimon, the Megas and Ultimates.
"Okay, you heard our friend, let's go help them out!"
"Can you tell us anymore about Chaos War Greymon, Akira?" asked Ken.
"You should talk to Sheena, she was the one who reported that Chaos War Greymon was awakened."
"If you know what Chaos War Greymon looks like, I don't need to tell you. I recall seeing a War Greymon with you?" asked Sheena.
"War Greymon is Tai's Digimon. Tai is in the other Digibeetle," responded Cody.
"Chaos War Greymon has black skin instead of orange. He's probably pretty powerful too, possibly more powerful than a typical Mega. He was made to be that way."
"We'd better be careful then," warned Armadillomon.
**************************************
Meanwhile, three Digimon faced off in a heated battle. Bertran and Joy Joy could feel the power emanations even inside their Digibeetle. A sudden explosion rocked their vehicle and Joy Joy almost fell out of her seat. This prompted an argument about how to deal with their situation.
"We can handle him! Why do we need to call some other Guard Tamers in to steal my... er 'our' glory away?" complained Bertran.
"Boys! Always trying to show off... Never wanting to admit they need help once in a while... I'm calling for help anyways! I don't care if you approve or not. I will not allow them to get killed out there!"
Joy Joy sent the message and got mostly negatives; the other GTs were preoccupied with fighting other Blood Knights. The tension was clearly visible on her face. Akira, Sheena and Debbie were the only GTs that were free to respond. Bertran and Joy Joy's Digimon, Myotismon and Angewomon, were doing their best to stop the beast that was Chaos War Greymon.
"Grisly Wing!"
"Celestial Arrow!"
A horde of bats and an arrow of light converged on their foe. Both attacks were easily brushed off by their foe. He was identical to Tai's own War Greymon with a few exceptions. Chaos War Greymon had coal black skin. He was clad in Chrome Digizoid armour and had gigantic hand claws like his counterpart. Yellow tubes adorned his armour like stitching on clothes. His fiendish expression was hidden from view by a horned helmet/facemask with openings for his yellow eyes.
"Black Tornado!"
Chaos War Greymon spun so fast that he became a black, living whirlwind. He propelled himself into the two like a bullet. They narrowly dodged the attack, only to have Chaos War Greymon recover and swing at the nearby Angewomon. The blow caught her between the eyes, disorienting her and causing her to fall headfirst towards the ground. Myotismon raced ahead and caught her just before she hit the ground. They both remarked at the strength of their opponent.
"Digivolve! You can't compete with him like this!" ordered Bertran.
"Myotismon Mega-Digivolve to..."
Myotismon covered his body with his cape and extended his left arm. It mutated into a claw covered with segmented armour. The same mutation transformed Myotismon's right arm. A pair of grotesque maws opened in his shoulders. Saliva dripped endlessly from the maws' lips like blood. His clothes ripped and his legs and body were replaced with segmented armour. A whip-like tail grew from Myotismon's rear. His teeth became serrated and a pair of demonic wings formed on his back.
"Malo Myotismon!"
"Angewomon Mega-Digivolve to..."
Angewomon's wings began to release feathers like falling leaves. She vanished and was replaced by the figure of a woman in the fetal position. She stood upright and armour began to form on her body. Ten wings of radiant gold sprouted from her back in pairs. A flash of blinding golden light engulfed Angewomon. When the light subsided a spear of gold and a shield appeared in her hands as she struck a battle-ready pose.
"Ophanimon!"
-------------------------Digimon Analyzer-------------------------
I am Malo Myotismon. I have Digivolved to the highest level: Demon Lord! My Crimson Mist burns like acid, and my Screaming Darkness will consume my foes in eternal darkness!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------Digimon Analyzer-------------------------
I am Ophanimon. I embody the light and goodness. With my Eden's Javelin, and Sefirot Crystal, I will cleanse the world of evil!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Crimson Mist!"
As Malo Myotismon called his attack, a red, billowing cloud of gas spewed forth from his maws. As the cloud travelled outwards, a hissing sound could be heard. Stones on the ground corroded away leaving nothing but foam in the cloud's wake. Slowly but surely, the cloud engulfed Chaos War Greymon. Malo Myotismon could hear hoarse coughing and hissing within the cloud. The coughing continued before suddenly stopping.
"Terra Destroyer!"
Chaos War Greymon raised his arms into the air for a sneak attack. A ball of red energy gathered between his hands and grew rapidly. It exceeded his size and was tossed at his enemies. Malo Myotismon was caught off guard and struck by the Terra Destroyer. The attack had hit so hard that he was knocked flat onto his back.
"Malo Myotismon, are you ok?" asked a concerned Ophanimon.
"I'm fine, just shook a bit," replied Malo Myotismon.
Ophanimon charged at Chaos War Greymon and the two exchanged blows. "CLANG! CLINK! CLANG!" went their weapons as each Digimon parried the other's blows.
"Sefirot Crystal!"
Ophanimon gazed through a crystal bearing the insignia of the Sefirot Tree. The crystal glowed and several spheres of holy energy erupted forwards. She led the spheres like remote controlled missiles to her victim. The holy energy collided with Chaos War Greymon exploded upon impact.
Chaos War Greymon gasped in pain as he was taken aback. "OWWWW! Nice shot! But you're no match for a Chaos General. I'll show you just how weak you really are!"
Chaos War Greymon spun like a tornado in preparation for his Black Tornado attack. Chaos War Greymon suddenly shot himself at his foe only to have Ophanimon narrowly dodge at the last minute. The two Digimon exchanged blows once again, with Chaos War Greymon gaining the upper hand. He scored a swipe on Ophanimon's chest with his Dramon Killer.
Chaos War Greymon then grabbed the dazed Ophanimon and tossed her into Malo Myotismon. Malo Myotismon wasn't too hurt by having Ophanimon crash into him, but Ophanimon didn't fare so well. He stepped forward to cover his comrade while his Tamers restored her health. Malo Myotismon decided that pay back was due.
"Screaming Darkness!"
A jet of inky darkness erupted from the maws of Malo Myotismon. The Screaming Darkness engulfed Chaos War Greymon and disrupted his composure. Chaos War Greymon quickly recovered and slashed vigorously to cut the darkness. He prepared and launched a Terra Destroyer, but this time Malo Myotismon blocked with a Screaming Darkness barrier. The Terra Destroyer dug into the shield before finally exploding and rupturing the barrier. The explosion sent Malo Myotismon crashing into the ground.
"HA, HA, HA, HA, HA! What a pitiful attempt!" laughed Chaos War Greymon. "Now it's time I put you out of your misery. A pity though; I was hoping you could have put up more of a fight..."
Chaos War Greymon approached his prey for the finishing blow. Ophanimon and Malo Myotismon were still down and unable to get up. Their bodies were dotted with black marks. Their wounds gave them much pain as they struggled to stand. Chaos War Greymon was in no hurry. It was as if he wanted to prolong their suffering. Chaos War Greymon grabbed Ophanimon by the throat.
"CLANG!" resounded the impact of Chrome Digizoid on Chrome Digizoid.
The sudden blow knocked chaos War Greymon forward. He dropped Ophanimon and turned to face his assailant. Looking at his assailant was like looking into a mirror, for it was the real War Greymon he was staring at. The two War Greymons glared at each with evident hostility. Unlike Chaos War Greymon, the normal War Greymon had orange skin and orange Dramon Killers.
Chaos War Greymon was greatly angered by this meddler. "You will regret what you have done!"
Before Chaos War Greymon could react, he was struck from behind. He scowled at his second assailant. This time, it was a Paildramon brandishing two cannons near his hips. Chaos War Greymon repositioned himself to ensure he wouldn't be blindsided again.
"Now why don't you fight me face to face instead of acting like cowards?" mocked Chaos War Greymon.
Several Blood Knight Digibeetles approached the site of the battle.
Chaos War Greymon smirked in satisfaction. "It seems you're not the only one with friends..."
Several Digimon materialized and surrounded the good Digimon. Malo Myotismon and Ophanimon kept their backs to each other as they were surrounded by a horde of Virus-type Greymon. War Greymon caught the attention of a Boltmon brandishing a sharp, gigantic battle-axe. A Mummymon and an Arukenimon leapt out of a Digibeetle and landed in front of Paildramon. Paildramon prepared to counter-attack the moment they made their first move.
"You kids have stood in our way long enough!" declared Arukenimon. "Now it's over for you!"
**************************************
Inside Akira's Digibeetle, the DD were tense with anticipation. Enemies surrounded all their Digimon. It was looking grim.
"We have to send more Digimon to help them!" urged Yolei.
"You said it, I'm going out there!" declared Hawkmon.
"Me too! I'm going out!" added Armadillomon.
Hawkmon and Armadillomon materialized onto the battlefield. Their other friends materialized as well and joined up with the surrounded Digimon.
"Hawkmon Digivolve to... Aquilamon!"
"Armadillomon Armor Digivolve to... Digmon, the Drill of Knowledge!"
"I want Chaos War Greymon!" demanded Darkfryer. "Let me Digivolve and I can beat him!"
Akira agreed.
"Chimeramon Mega-Digivolve to..."
The Roman numerals of the numbers one to twelve encircled Darkfryer. They spun faster and faster as they entwined and encircled around Darkfryer's body. The bands of numerals tightened and Darkfryer's form dissolved into data. Darkfryer's data was spun faster and faster in a spiral of time.
The spiral collapsed in on itself in a brilliant explosion and at ground zero stood a dark-skinned version of Chimeramon. A yellow, dragon shaped, flame erupted from his backside as huge Giga Cannons materialized. Darkfryer launched a colossal burst of energy and the resulting black hole annihilated a huge futuristic city. Darkfryer roared in triumph.
"Millenniummon!"
Darkfryer pointed at Chaos War Greymon. Darkfryer effectively challenged Chaos War Greymon with a crook of his fingers.
Chaos War Greymon's lit up with determination. "So you want me? Good, it's going to be fun tearing you limb from limb! Come on, I'll make this as painful as possible."
"Don't underestimate me, for I have powers greater than you can imagine..." hissed Darkfryer.
Digmon, Angewomon, Magna Angemon, Lillith and Deramon were facing off with other virus Greymon. They placed their backs to their partners' Digibeetles to prevent a sneak attack from behind. Cal was released near Ophanimon and Malo Myotismon. Aquilamon hovered in the air above Ophanimon and Malo Myotismon.
He was waiting for an opening should he attack the other group of Virus Greymon. Darkfryer and Chaos War Greymon glared at each other. Both held a great hostility for the other. All it took was one provocation before the two sides were at each other's throats... This provocation came in the form of a grenade exploding nearby. Each side mistook it as an attack by the other and charged into battle.
-------------------------Digimon Analyzer-------------------------
A Millenniummon's Dimension Destroyer cannons are weapons of mass destruction. It brings total annihilation wherever it is fired. In this form, Darkfryer has power over time and space itself with his Time Unlimited attack. When he uses it, his enemies' time has run out.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The fight was on! Sheer chaos erupted as explosions and energy blasts pounded the battlefield every second. The rumbling of footsteps and of bodies hitting the ground deafened the ears of any who would listen to the chaos. Chaos War Greymon lunged at Darkfryer as fast as he could. To his surprise, he caught only air. Darkfryer was nowhere to be found...
"Dimension Destroyer!"
Chaos War Greymon leapt into the air out of the path of a pair of violet beams. Time and space rippled and warped, drawing in all the stones on the mountainside. A sphere of warped space/time had devoured the side of a mountain, leaving nothing but a huge crater behind. He could feel a strong gravitational pull from the explosion. Chaos War Greymon raised his hands and formed a gargantuan ball of energy. Darkfryer braced himself for impact.
The force of the explosion was so great that tracks in the ground formed as Darkfryer was shoved back. Darkfryer fired several Dimension Destroyer blasts in quick succession. Moments before hitting, Chaos War Greymon dodged with superhuman speed. Chaos War Greymon could feel the pull of gravity and fought to avoid being sucked in. He was enraged by his enemy's attack and would show no mercy.
Chaos War Greymon soared straight for Darkfryer at top speed. He felt a strange tingling sensation, which he dismissed. Moments before contact Darkfryer suddenly vanished! He reappeared and nailed Chaos War Greymon with a hard blow to the head. Though reeling, Chaos War Greymon realized that his foe had manipulated time to score his hit. He had unwittingly entered a Time Unlimited zone and was slowed down.
Chaos War Greymon recovered and prepared another Terra Destroyer. He hurled the ball with all his might, but Darkfryer was ready for the attack. Darkfryer prepared to block the attack with dark power, but it proved too strong and punctured the barrier. He winced in pain as the blast bowled him over and flipped him into the air.
**************************************
Chrome Digizoid weaponry clanged as War Greymon and Boltmon squared off. Sparks flew as their Dramon Killers and axe grinded against each other. They broke their test of strength and were staring each other in search of an opening. Darkfryer suddenly came flying from the left! War Greymon narrowly dodged the body of his fallen comrade. This was Boltmon's chance. He threw his monstrous battle-axe at the distracted War Greymon only to have him dive out of the way at the last second.
However, War Greymon wasn't fast enough... Boltmon succeeded in getting a good cut into War Greymon's left shoulder protector. The cut was quite bad but fortunately, Digimon naturally have the ability to regenerate. The wound would heal fairly quickly if given time. War Greymon renewed his attack on Boltmon and Boltmon parried each and every claw swipe. The two broke off their battle and entered into another stare down.
Chaos War Greymon landed next to Boltmon, as if challenging his counterpart War Greymon. War Greymon knew he had no choice but to stand his ground; his enemies wouldn't be so merciful. Darkfryer opened his eyes to see the Digimon watching each other. He was still reeling from the pain, but the Digimon regenerative factor was at work healing the injury. He could hear the banter between the two War Greymons. All he needed was the right opportunity to strike his prey...
Fighting his two foes proved a difficult task for War Greymon. Chaos War Greymon in particular was incredibly strong and quite fast. War Greymon was struggling to defend himself from the onslaught of axe and Dramon Killer strikes. The strikes came almost every second, which forced him into a purely defensive mode.
A bone-shattering hit penetrated his defences and War Greymon hit the ground with a loud thud. Chaos War Greymon mockingly laughed at his fallen opponent. In the corner of his eye, Chaos War Greymon saw Darkfryer struggling to stand up. Darkfryer's body was bent forward, the signs of fatigue plain to see.
"You don't know when to quit do you? You should have stayed on the ground!" lambasted Chaos War Greymon. "Black Tornado!"
Chaos War Greymon spun like a whirlwind and soared at Darkfryer's body. Suddenly, Darkfryer's cannon's aimed at the whirling Chaos War Greymon. This was the mistake he was waiting for.
"Dimension Destroyer!"
Chaos War Greymon was unfazed by the attack, as he knew he would just plow through the beams. However, before the beams hit, they exploded and created a large gravitational distortion in front of Chaos War Greymon. He was caught completely off guard and flew straight into the vortex. He tried frantically to escape, but the force of the dimensional warp was too strong.
All Chaos War Greymon could do was make a muffled scream as the miniature "black hole" sucked him into the abyss. The black hole subsided with bits of black data evaporating into the air.
War Greymon was impressed. "I'm surprised you healed so fast."
Darkfryer grinned. "Guard Tamer Digimon can heal faster than an normal Digimon. I doubt Chaos War Greymon had enough time to be properly educated about these enhancements."
**************************************
Mummymon smashed his gun in Paildramon's ribs and followed with a point-blank electrical shot. Paildramon grunted in pain before collapsing onto the ground. Mummymon turned his gaze upwards to see Chaos War Greymon crushed by a black hole. His gaze soon turned onto Boltmon's unconscious body sprawled on the ground. Mummymon became very worried and his morale sank like a rock. Mummymon ordered a full retreat but was drowned out by the din of battle.
A tackle from behind by a renewed Paildramon rewarded Mummymon's momentary lapse of attention. Paildramon picked up the startled Mummymon and tossed him away. The word spread quickly that Chaos War Greymon had fallen in battle. Chaos War Greymon's death demoralized them to the point of initiating a full retreat. One by one the Blood Knight Digimon were returned to their Tamers' Digibeetles.
The Digibeetles vanished one after the other, as if transported away by a distant force. The Digimon of the Guard Tamers and Digidestined were distracted by a smoke bomb fired by the enemy. The Digimon were coughing, covering their noses and mouths and trying to blow the gas away. When the air cleared, the enemy was nowhere to be found... All that remained were the Guard Tamer forces that attacked the Blood Knight compound. The GT's cheered in triumph over a hard fought victory.
"Wheew! That was crazy!" remarked a sweat-soaken Davis.
"I'm glad it's over. I never seen anything so scary," said Kari.
"War is never a pretty thing," informed Debbie. "The war will continue as long the Blood Knights are free to do as they please."
"We'll definitely have to be more cautious when dealing with the Blood Knights."
"Thanks Akira, we owe you one!" thanked an elated Joy Joy over the radio.
"Hey, no problem!" replied Akira.
**************************************
The Guard Tamers quickly set up a garrison on the remains of the Blood Knight base. They searched the interior of the compound, which was built into the side of a mountain. All they could find were a few stragglers that were unable to retreat in time. Guard Tamer forces promptly arrested them for questioning. There were no traces of the remaining Chaos Generals. The Blood Knights had prepared for such an attack and moved them away during the commotion. Akira and the others had called it a day and returned to Digital City.
**************************************
Hours later in Digital City, the Gold Hawk chief Vandar received a transmission from a Guard Tamer spy, Yukio Oikawa. He was the one who leaked the information about the Chaos Generals to the Guard Teams the day before. His invaluable information lead to the raiding of the lab that created those monsters. Now they had one less Chaos General to deal with.
However, there was one niggling little detail that was on Vandar's mind... Vandar knew that the Chaos Generals were simply one part of a larger plan. The question was: "What is this larger plan?" Vandar hoped that his agent could get some clues to this plan.
"So Oikawa, I see you're well. We apologize for contacting you at such a rough time be we need more information," apologized Vandar. "Have you found anything more about the Chaos Generals?"
"Sadly no. They tightened security in the lab after I had sabotaged their project. Fortunately, they were unable to find out who did it."
"I see. Is there anything on the motivations of the Blood Knights for creating the Chaos Generals?"
"All I know is that they were built to be a part of a larger plot. The Chaos Generals were only a small part of the plan. It seems that Crimson is not the man who calls the shots with the Blood Knights anymore. Recently, a higher power has taken complete control and is now leading the Blood Knights. Crimson now reports to him directly."
"A higher power?"
"Yes, he is known as 'Overlord GAIA.' A very bizarre name I might add... There was also something else they spoke of that perplexed me."
"What is it?"
"There was another being that fought against Overlord GAIA before and sealed him away. Overlord GAIA obviously fears him greatly. Yet, even Overlord GAIA doesn't know where this being is..."
"Who is this being?"
"They never mentioned his identity. However, they did mention that this being would soon reappear for their final battle. They kept referring to this being as 'The Avenger,' but I don't know why they called him that. Perhaps the being is fighting Overlord GAIA to right the wrongs he committed."
"That sounds like something an 'Avenger' would do."
"Thank you very much Oikawa. See if you can find anything more on this 'Avenger' and the Blood Knights' true leader."
