DISCLAIMER: I do not own Big O or any of the characters. All are property of Sunrise and their respective parties. Digimon belongs to Toei and their respective parts. I don't own that either shows. I am not making any money on this story either.
AURTHOR NOTES: This story is a Big O Digimon Crossover. This story also features some of my own theories about Big O as well. This is also a slight AU for the Digimon part of the story, Gatomon has the ably to go to her Ultimate Level of Angewoman, without any type of help, like she did in the First Season of the show, plus she also can Armor Digivole as well. This goes the same with the first season Digidestined as well. I am also including the third movie sentiment of the Digimon Movie, the one with Willis, even if that part of the movie dose not takes place in the story line of the show.
I am sorry about the long explanations in the stories, but I am writing this for fans of Big O that hasn't seen a signal episode of Digimon of either season. I don't want them to feel like they are lost in the story telling, for I used a lot of references from that show.
I am also including a meaning of a Digimon term here, because it going to play a major role in this story. That tern is called "Digi-Code".
Digi-Code: Digi-Code is a collection of seemingly meaningless symbols, each symbol translates into a Japanese character. This code has been seemed through the entire series in different points.
Here is a link to a guide to all of the different symbols that are in the Digi Code http://www.angelfire.com/anime2/digipedia/images/digicode.jpg if the link dose not work, you can type in the web address itself. Now, the guide gives you romanisation of the Japanese character (how is it spelt using the English alphabet). This code does not contain information for translating into English.
SETTING: Reminder the Digimon Episode of His Master's Voice, the episode where Kari is brought to another part of the Digi World by other Digimon. At the end of the episode we see a huge shadowy Digimon with red eyes come out of the water. What if she wasn't really in the Digital World, but in Paradigm City and that huge Digimon-like creature weren't a Digimon, but a Megadeus?
Under the orders of Alex Rosewater, Angel is send out to investigate about Imperialdramon, while Roger and Digidestined go on their only investigations about the world of Paradigm.
Timeline: Digimon takes place one mouth after the Final episode of A Million Points of Light and for Big O is takes place right after R-D. Yeah, Roger beat the three Megadeues that came out of the water toward the end of the episode.
Keepers of the Light
Chapter 7-Angels of Hope, Light, Fallen and Dark
Angel had heard her orders well and she knew what she had to do, she had to find out about that dragon-like creature that had showed that it had power when it totally destroyed Big Duo without breaking a sweat. Despite the fact that it was at night, the most dangerous time in this city, she still had to do it. She didn't know if that thing could be capable of sweating like humans did, the only thing that she did know about that thing was that was very powerful creature that was just a little smaller than a Megadeus was. With that, she knew that it wouldn't be that hard to fine, how could somebody hide a close to 50-foot dragon-like creature, but Roger did hide Big O and it was 50 feet high. He lived in this city longer than, and then that creature did, so he did know all of the best hiding spots where he could put that thing. Maybe that is the reason why she would have trouble finding that thing, but one thing that she didn't know was that Imperialdramon was a Mega-Level Digimon that could only appeared when Paildramon had enough energy to Digivole to that level. Paildramon could only appeared when ExVeemon and Stingmon DNA Digivole to that level and that could only happen if ExVeemon and Stingmon Digivole to their Champions Forms. Right now they were at their Rookie Forms of Wormmon and Veemon and since Angel wasn't looking for them. She was looking for their Mega Form of Imperialdramon and the best place to look for that thing was the last place it had appeared, and that what she did.
She found out that battlefield was roped off from the regular people, the only people that she saw there were the members of the Military Police, that were trying their best to clean up the mess that three titans had cause when they clash with each other. While most of the fight took place between the huge flying dragon and Big Duo, while Big O was acting like support, so much unlike Roger to do something like that. For he was the type of person that would go headfirst in action and not let others steal his glory while in a fight. He could of shock by the fact of the shear power that the process and the fact that thing was living. She knew that she would have been like that if she was there watching that thing in action. Even if that thing did save her life, like it did for Roger.
Angel knew that the thing was a living creature, because of the slick natural movement that it had while in the fight, told her that thing was a living and breathing creature.
A living God? She asked herself when she thought about the power that it had display to through the two different types of attacks that it had. One of them was a huge power energy beam that was shot out of the cannon-like weapon that was on the back of the creature and the other one was a short bust of energy that was fired out of it mouth. She didn't know which one was the weaker out of the two attacks; both of them were powerful. If so, why is doing here? She thought, did it have to do something about the "Reawakening" that Alex told her about or was this thing the result of the release of "The Power" that she commented about before Roger fought the three other Megadeuses that came out of the water. She didn't know, what to think about that thing and that was the reason why she wanted to know what that thing was. She wanted to know why was it doing here and why she couldn't fine the thing, despite the huge size that the thing had.
She looked at the battle damage and the people that were cleaning up the mess, the motion of the people doing their job brought her back to that day that was at the shoreline of the city. How she was standing next to the lighthouse holding onto something, trying to kept it a hold of it despite the wind that was trying it hardest to blow the thing away from her. She fought it all the way through the battle that Roger was having with the others. As he finished off the last one, she let go of the thing, not because of the wind, but because of the sock of what she saw happen. Somehow Roger misjudged the distance, when he used the Pile Driver Attack on it, and the destroyed Megadeus had fallen where Dastun was. Even if she didn't know him that well, she didn't like to see him get killed because he was just doing his job.
"Excess me," said a voice.
Hearing that voice, she was brought out of her flashback that she had with the epic battle that was between the gods, to the real world, the present world. She looked to see who had spoken to her and she found out that it was Major Dan Dustan himself that spoke to her.
"Yes," she said.
"I would like to know why are you doing here, it not safe, especially for a woman like you," said Dastun.
"I wanted to see the battle damage that was caused when the Megadeuses fought each other," answered Angel. She was trying to look over Dastun's shoulder so that she gets a sneaky peck of what this powerful creature did.
That weird, most people don't want to thought Dastun. He noticed what she was doing and having a funny feeling that there was more to this woman then what she was showing to him, so he tried his best to shield the area from her dark peering eyes. "Why?" He asked.
"Oh where is my manners," said Angel and with that she handed him her business card that clearly stated her so called job that she had, that she was a secretary for Paradigm Press, for one of their reporters.
Dastun looked at the card and this only further deepens the mystery that was around this person. He wanted to know why would a reporters send out one their secretaries out to a battlefield that was caused by the Megadeus. It wasn't anything that was out of place for this place, then it hit him, she wasn't here for that, she was here for that dragon-like creature that had fired that weapon that sliced and diced the Red Megadeus so easy. He didn't want to clue her off that he knew the true reason why she was here, he did this because of two reasons. One, he didn't have a lot of information about that thing and why it was so powerful, the information that he did have was information that he felt that she shouldn't know about. Two, that thing was allied with Roger and he knew about Roger's temper, it was famous. If he did tell her about that thing, betraying the fragile balance that the two of them had, that did get stronger when Roger did save him. He had no clue what he would do to him because of that.
"So you are a secretary for Paradigm Press, I would like to know why would Paradigm Press Reporter would send out one of their secretaries to this something that is so normal?" Asked Dastun.
"He was busy with other projects and he wanted be to get a 'taste' of what kind of job that he dose," answered Angel.
Dastun nodded his head at that, trying to give the impression that he was believing the story that she was giving to him. He was still blocking the battle damage that the Megas did. "Okay, I can't see why he would give up just a routine assignment, but I am not your boss. All right then."
"Thank you, Major," said Angel.
With that the two of them cross the tape, even with that, Dastun still manage to hid most of the battle damage that was cause in the fight, even with that effort, Angel did see more of the damage. It told her enough, that this thing was different from anything else that this city has seen before. Even if he still didn't believe a signal world that she was speaking, he still had to put up a front, make a good impression to the media of this city to make his department look go in the eyes of the news.
Dastun kept a close eye on this woman as the two of them walked pass the battle zone and it was because of these two things, none of them saw something that was out of place. That thing was a tag and inside of the tag was a crest. Since nobody saw it, they didn't miss it when it slides down one of the many cracks that were in the street.
Alex Rosewater, the President of the Paradigm Group, was reviewing the footage of the dragon-like creature and the display of power that it had. He could see that it had to different styles of attacks, one of them was a huge powerful beam-like weapon that he fired out of the cannon that was on his back and the other one was a ball of energy that he fired out of his mouth. He could see that were meant for two different styles of attacks, one was for long distance while the other one was mean for short distance attacks. Like Angel he wanted to know what was this thing was, and why was it doing here, but unlike her he couldn't go out on a whim, that was the reason why he had send her to investigate what that thing was.
"What are you? Are why are you doing in my city?" Asked Alex.
He saw the ramming attack that it did on Big Duo and with that he saw that it also had speed, despite the huge size that the thing had. He fast forward to where he saw the thing try to claw the thing to death with the huge claws that it had.
"Speed and power, a dangerous combination," he said.
Night had also fallen, where Roger lived as well and because of that he knew that he couldn't let these children out and about in this city, despite the present of the Digimon that had clearly showed that they could hold their own when danger showed it face. He knew that this place was dangerous, especially at night, night seem to draw out the dangers like kids to candy. Since he didn't want anything to happen to these kids, he knew that he couldn't let them out of his home, no matter how much they urged him that they could take care of themselves.
He with all of the stories that they told about their trips that were in the Digi World and how they face dangers and enemies that were just as powerful and as big as Big Duo was. They told him about all of the evil Digimon that they face while they were in the Digi World and in the real world, like Venom Myotismon, Metal Seadramon, Machine Dramon, MaloMyotismon, Apocalymon, Piedmon, Myotismon, Puppetmon, and other evil Digimon. Roger listened to all of the stories that he told them, and it told him that despite their fragile appearance they were a force to be not be mess with. With the story about Venom Myotismon, Roger understood the reason why Kari was scared when she saw Big O for the first time; it reminded of her that evil Digimon and if he knew that, he would of never done that to her.
"I knew about that, I would have never done that to you," he said.
"You didn't know, how could of know," said Kari.
"Now that we know each other, I think that it is time that we leave," said Davis.
"What!" Everyone asked, everyone was so socked at the statement that Davis had made that it took a couple of seconds for them to realized what he had just said to them.
"Are you serious! You don't know this city like I do, it dangerous out there right now, it better for you to stay the night here," said Roger. "If you did, where would you stay, it not like there are hotels in this city."
"Plus, Davis, we don't have any money to paid for it either, if there was any," said Ken.
"That hasn't stop us before," said Davis.
"Yeah, we were in a world that we know about, this place we don't know anything about. We don't know if it is even legal to do sidewalk shows in this place," said T.K.
"It isn't, but isn't like either," said Roger. "And you are still not going on out."
Hearing that from him was going enough for Ken, T.K. and Kari to agree with him, that staying in this house was the better, than risking their lives going out on the streets of this city. A city that they felt was watching them and waiting for the right moment to take up away in the mysterious that made up this city. That was something that neither of them wanted to do, what they wanted to do was to fix the problem that was affecting this world, and head back to their world, a world that they knew well.
"That fine with me," said T.K. "What about your Patamon?"
"I with you, T.K.," said the Rookie Digimon.
"What about the rest of your guys?" Asked T.K.
"I have to agree with Roger on this one, this place we have no idea what it is like. I hate to say it, Davis, but we are out of league on this one. Even at the darkest of times, the Digi World wasn't this dark," said Ken.
Hearing that, Kari thought about the time when they were in Machinedramon's city, which bared a striking resemblance to this city, it wasn't this dark, at least there was some light in there. It didn't come from her, when her Crest of Light glowed, for it there wasn't any light there, than her Crest wouldn't of glow the way that it did. That allowed WarGreymon to deleted Machinedramon like an onion while they were in the underground sewers of his city.
Even when I was in Machinedramon's city, there was some light, not here; it all dark thought Kari. This was the reason why I was picked to go this place.
"Davis, they are right," said Veemon.
Davis didn't know what to say at this, he really wanted to go out and explore this place. It seem that he was the out number and he had funny feelings that if he tried to get out of this house he would be stop in two ways. One of them would be that he had no clue how to get out here and the second was the people here, they would try to fine a way to stop him. He didn't want to do that, because he was a little tried himself and he saw that Gatomon was starting to fall asleep as well.
"All right, we will stay here, but we need something to eat," said Davis.
"Yes, our Digimon need food, because they will get weak if they don't eat," said Kari.
Roger nodded his head that and with that he made plans for them to get something to eat. To make the process go faster some of the Digidestined help with the cooking of the meal, naming Kari and Davis. While they didn't do anything fancy with the meal, like add decorations, they help with the production of the meal, despite the protest of both Roger and Norman. In turn they found out that their protests were unfounded because the two of them cook a pretty mean meal, that was some type of chicken. That everybody ate up, but in different fashion, both Veemon and Davis wolfed down the food, like it was their last meal, to the chagrin of Roger, Normal remain stoic to the sight, while the rest of the Digimon and Digidestined continue to eat their meal.
"Dose he always eat like that?" Asked Roger.
"Oh that normal for the two of them," said Kari that took a bit of her meal.
Gatomon looked at Davis and Veemon in a look of disgust, she had seen this before when she saw all of the In-Training Digimon that came from new group of Digidestined. She didn't like then and she still didn't like it, even if they were young, they could showed some manners while they were eating.
"You should see them when is really hungry," said Kari.
"I still hope my first litter isn't like this" muttered Gatomon.
"I can see, and that is something that I don't care to see that," said Roger is a sarcastic voice.
After that the dinner conversation varied through more information about the Digimon and their trips in the Digital World. In the course of the conversation Roger found out about the different Crests that all expect Davis bared around their necks. He found out that the one that Kari had was the Crest of Light, the one that T.K. had was the Crest of Hope, and the one that Ken had was the Crest of Kindness. He wanted to know why didn't Davis get one, Kari explain that the trait that he had, Courage, belong to her older brother Tai.
"What do these Crests do for you?" Asked Roger.
"They help our Digimon go to the next level, which is Ultimate, when the trait that the symbol stands for is presented in us," answered T.K.
"Ah, I get it now, so with the help of Ken's Crest of Kindest your Digimon was able to go Paildramon," said Roger.
"No, not exactly," said Ken.
"What?" Asked Roger.
"The way that reaches his Ultimate is a little different from the way that T.K.'s or Kari's would. He dose it through DNA Digivoling, not through the power of the crest, even if Ken dose have one, I don't," answered Davis.
"And what is that?" Asked Roger.
"Okay, that is the process where two Digimon at the same level combine to make a brand new Digimon. During the process the strongest parts of both Digimon are brought out on this new Digimon. Now for Paildramon both Veemon and Wormmon must be at their Champions Levels that are ExVeemon and Stingmon," said Ken.
"Okay, I know for a fact that two Champions DNA Digivoling can reach an Ultimate-Level Digimon, can two Ultimate's doing the same Digivoling go to what you call 'Mega-Level' Digimon?" Asked Roger.
"Yes, but I haven't seen it, yet," answered Davis.
"One more question, can two Megas do it?" He asked again.
"Now you are getting into something that is different, that is called Fusion. Before you ask I will tell you what that is, it was two Megas combine, but they don't change their level, but their power level dose," answered Davis.
Roger had enough, this was way too much information for him to take in one sitting, these Digimon and their different Digivolution was confusing. It seems to him that these Digimon change the rules in Digivoling every time, because as soon as he got the hand of something, they would through something at him, which would screw with his head. Doing this to the people here, was a dangerous thing and something that a person shouldn't tempted, but they were doing that. He had no clue how they got stuck on this conversation; it was information that he didn't want to know right now.
"All right that enough information right now," he said. After that he give some more orders and while he was doing that Dorothy was looking at Kari's Digimon Gatomon. This was because when she first saw her, she was reminded of Perot, the sweet little cat that she found on the street. While Gatomon was a lot bigger that he was, and she could talk, she was still a cat in all of the sense of it.
Gatomon did allowed her to pet her, in the same fashion that Perot did, it still wasn't the same for her. It seem that these two cats were different from each other, but they still affected the same way, it was so strange for her to experience something like this. To get something back, but not all of the way, it seem to her that she had got Perot back in some form, but in the long run she knew that he would lose him again, because Gatomon wasn't her to have. She belong to Kari and it seem that they shared a bound that was so powerful, that she couldn't think of the words to described it. It was like the bound that she saw with Roger and Big O, they seem to have partnership that was beyond words, almost like they were two halves of the same soul, that were on the same type of quest.
"Dorothy!" Barked Roger. With that, she brought out of the flux that she was in.
"Yes, Roger," she said.
"I would like to know to see that these children and their Digimon are token care of," said Roger.
"I thought that you don't allowed overnight guest," said Dorothy.
That put Roger in a tight spot, but she was right, that was one of his rules, he didn't allow overnight guest, no matter what. Hey, this was his house, he could change the rules, couldn't he, and yes he could.
"Hey! This is my house, and didn't I say that there is one rule that I follow. Anyway it doses not matter, these are children and like women and the elderly I valued them as well. It not gentleman of me to put these children out of the streets at a time like this," said Roger.
"Yeah, especially in this place," said Davis.
"Shut up, Davis he defending you, don't make him change his mind on us, just because of you," said Ken.
"Yes, you are right, in this city, even during the day, it dangerous. Now can you please follow Dorothy to your rooms," said Roger.
With that the Digidestined and their Digimon walked with Dorothy to another part of this house. Seeing that Roger knew that it was time to think about everything that had happen in just one day, a lot did happen to him. He found out that there are other worlds out there right now that were existing at the same time as Paradigm was, this prove without a douth that there were other places where people could live in. He could tell that where they came from was totally different from this place, this was because of the clothes that they were wearing at this moment and that made him wonder what type of place it was. He couldn't tell if that place suffer the faith that this world did, because they were talking about recent things, the most they went back was four years ago, and even he reminder things from four years ago. The real test was if they could talk about things that were outside of their life time and that would be the real kicker for him, it would of told him that they didn't suffer from the memory lost like they did here.
His thoughts lead him out on the balcony, looking over the city, it was still warm outside despite that it was night and that it was early spring. He thought back at the battle that he had with Big Duo and where he saw the Digimon is action; he saw the connection that the children had with these Digimon. It seem that they had a powerful and lifelong connection with each other, it look like that nothing would be able to break that connection that they had with each other, not even depth. That was a very powerful bound that they had with each and it was something that he had only seen once, that was with Dorothy and Perot. It was something that he had no clue that it was something that he shared with them
"You are thinking about what has happen today," said Dorothy.
"Yes, I have been, things have been going so fast that I haven't had my time to caught my breath, until now," answered Roger.
"Yes, they have, but it seem that you have been given this moment to make your decision, we are at a crossroads right now, the choices that we make now, will forever change our lives," said Dorothy.
Most times he would of fine he come up with quick and smart retort to this, but he didn't. It seem that he was on another level of thinking, not just thinking for the moment, but the big picture, thinking about everything, not just him, but for everybody. That Dorothy's simple yet effective statement, to any accented what he was feeling right now, he took another look out on the city at night, he could feel it, things were changing for everybody, that things were set into monition. Was it a change for good or for ill, he didn't know? But the one thing that he did know was that it was going to be born in pain.
He took one last look at the city, and made the choice that it was time for him to get some sleep, for it was going to be another long day for him. He just hopes that Dorothy would respect that and not play the rambles that turned his blood into ice water whenever he heard it
The night has pass without any type of incident happening in the Smith house, but outside of the house there was a lot of things that did happen. One of them was that Crest that was brought because of the fight was moving down throughout the sewers of this city and the other thing was that Angel was heading back to Paradigm Group Headquarters, with as much information about that thing as when she first started this mission. She did get some information about it, that there was a smaller monster that had changed into that one, Dastun didn't give him the name of that one. She had no clue that she was taking the same path as the Crest was, then when she turned, it didn't follow her, it went on it own path through the city.
The path that it was taking was leading it toward Roger's house, but none of the Digidestined's Digivices picked up the power of the crest, but the crest was reacting in the close vicinity of the Digivices that the Digidestined had. It was calling out to them, but nobody was listening to them, expect for Kari that got a strange feeling and with that she woke up from the dream that she had, that was a normal dream, it had nothing to deal with this place.
She turned on the lamp that was close to her and she found out that her D-3 was reacting to something. She looked at the screen and she saw that there were two dots on it, one of them was not moving, which she guess was her, and the other one that was moving. She didn't know what to say at this, but something inside of her told her that she should go and investigate the thing. She put on her clothes as quietly as she could, so that she wouldn't wake up anybody around her.
She did that, and started to walk out of the room, while she was doing that Gatomon woke up and saw what she was trying to do.
"Kari what are you doing?" Asked Gatomon.
"I am picking something up on my D-3," answered Kari. Kari showed the thing to Gatomon and she saw what she was talking about, she saw it and she didn't know what to said about this. The only time that she had saw this happen before, was when another Digivice came close to the another one or when a Crest also come close to it as well.
"Do you know what this means?" Asked Gatomon.
"Yes, there is another Crest out there right now, or another Digivice out there right now," answered Kari.
"But where?" Asked Gatomon.
Kari took a look at her D-3, and the two red dots that were on the screen. She knew what this meant, she had to used this to track this thing down. "My D-3 will show us the way."
Seconds after that T.K. got up from his sleep and saw that both Kari and Gatomon were up as well. He didn't know what to say to this, but he knew that this meant that there was something that was up in this world. Of course the two of them had to be in the middle of it, that was so like Kari, she was always thinking about others first, rather than herself. This was a good trait to have, but there came a time when it was a person had to think about him or herself. With Kari that wasn't her, she never once thought for herself first, it was always others than her. It didn't matter if it was her family or complete strangers, it was somebody else she would think about them first. Maybe that was the reason why she bore the Crest of Light, he didn't know why she was picked to have that Crest, some of the others he understood why they had it.
"Kari, what up?" Asked T.K.
"I am picking something up, on my D-3, T.K. why don't you check your out to see what I am talking about," said Kari.
T.K. took him out and he found out that she was right, there was something out there that their D-3s were picking up.
"Do you know what it is?" Asked T.K.
"No," said Kari, she looked at T.K. "But you know what we are going to do."
Hearing that T.K. couldn't believe what he was hearing right now, especially from her, she would never do a thing like this.
"Kari, no, you reminder what Roger told us about this city, it a dangerous place to be in even during the daylight hours, never the less during the night," said T.K.
"I think we will be safe, since our Digimon will be with us," said Kari.
"Granted, but how are we going to get down to street level, we are on the top floor of a building that is over 50-feet tall," said T.K.
"You got me," said Patamon.
T.K. knew what he was talking about, Patamon's Champion Form of Angemon.
"Okay, do it, but quietly, we don't want to wake up everybody in this entire city block," said T.K.
Patamon Digivole to Angemon, as quietly as he could, after that both T.K. and Kari who had Gatomon in her hands went on the back of the Angel-type Digimon. Angemon took them down the side of the building and onto street level. As soon as that happen, Angemon devolved back to Patamon. T.K. took a moment to judge the true height of this building, it was big, a lot bigger than he first through that it was.
"Man that is a big building," said T.K. Before T.K. could give out what his plan was, Kari was off and running. This was so unlike her, she would never do anything like this, it look like that this world brings things out in people. There was just something about this place, something weird that seem to bring out the worst out of people. He knew that first hand because of the fight that he had with Davis over Kari, yes the two of them did fight with each other, but not in the fashion that they did.
"Kari, where are you going?" Asked T.K.
She didn't answer him, the only thing that he saw was that she had stop at one of the manholes that was covered. T.K. ran up to her, to see what was her problem.
"Kari, what is up?" Asked T.K.
"There, it down there," she said.
"What 'down there'?" Asked T.K.
"What we have been looking for, the thing that is driving our D-3s crazy," answered Kari.
T.K. didn't need to said anything to that, because he looked at his D-3 and found out that she was right, whatever was driving their D-3 crazy was indeed down there right now. Even with that, T.K. had a bad feeling about this, that they shouldn't go down there, there was something inside of him that told him to just go away from this and let things be.
"Kari, I think that we shouldn't go down there, there are reason why places like this are kept separated from the rest of the city, and by the way how are we going to get down there, if do go down there," said T.K.
Kari just looked at him and with that he knew for certain that they were going down there, that much was for sure. How, that was a question that he wanted to know the answer to and before Kari could answer the question that T.K. was asking, he got his answer to it. He got through action and not words, because the roadway that was under Kari's feet gave way and because of that Kari fell through the hole.
"Kari!" Shouted T.K. Seconds after that T.K. walked to where the hole was at, to see how Kari was. He found out that she had landed right on Gatomon.
"Are you all right?" Asked T.K.
"I am fine, thanks to Gatomon," answered Kari. Speaking of her, Kari got off from Gatomon to see how she was after falling on top of her. She knew that she wouldn't feel that good if somebody fall on top her, but Gatomon was a Digimon and Digimon were pretty strong.
"Gatomon are you all right?" Asked Kari.
"Yes, but you should lie off on the snacks," said Gatomon.
"I am coming after you," said T.K. Just one problem, I have no clue how I am going to do this thought T.K. Just before he could do anything, the part of the street that he was standing on also gave way the same way that it happen to Kari. In a matter of seconds he was down on the same level that Kari and Gatomon were at.
"T.K., are all right?" Asked Kari.
"I fine, nothing that I good night sleep wouldn't fix," said T.K. After that he looked around at the new surroundings. He found out that there were in some type of underground train system that look like that most of it was in ruins, expect for the rail lines, they look like that there were in good condition. The rest of the system looks like that it was left alone to it own.
"What is this place?" Asked T.K.
"It look like subway system back in Odaiba, but ours in much better shape," said Kari.
T.K. knew what she was talking about, for they had to used the subway system to get around in Odaiba, so that they could search for the eight Digidestined Child without Myotismon knowing that they were doing that. While none of them did take the system before, it was something that they were happy that they had it.
"This dose not make sense, why would the rail be in good shape, but the rest of the system be in disrepair? Especially a highly urban city, like Paradigm is? It would make sense that they would kept it good condition," said T.K.
"I don't know," said Kari.
"Like I said before, nothing in this world makes any type sense, nothing and I would like to know why," said T.K. The two of them continue to walk down the rail, unaware that they were being followed by something that was in the shadows.
Back in Roger's house, Roger was dreaming once again, he wasn't dreaming the dream where he saw the world on fire, or the one where he saw Kari on the beach, but it did involve Kari. This time he saw her in a place that she shouldn't be in, she was in some type of underground catacomb and that she was with her Digimon and T.K. He saw that they were looking at something and because of that they didn't see that there was a creature of some type that was following them. Waiting for the right move and with it moved to them, they still had no clue that it was there, until it was to late.
That when he woke up from the dream, clasping his pillow, in only took a couple of seconds for him to recover from the dream and with that he got out of bed. He walked to the window, and took a look outside, he saw the familiar skyline of Paradigm; then something one of the buildings caught his attention, it was a refection on the glass, something that he didn't understand how it happen. All he knew was that it happens for him and what he saw was that there was a hole in the street. Seeing that he knew where Kari and T.K where.
"They don't know what they got themselves into, I warm them about this place at night, why don't they listen to me," said Roger in a little of angered toward them.
Even with that on his mind, he knew what he had to do, he had to go down there, a place where he was once before. He had to go underground once again, beyond the subway system and place where he had felt fear, but he did face it and won over it. He didn't know if he was going to do it again.
As they continue to make their way through the underground transit system, they found that there was a huge flashlight, which T.K. picked up and turned on, that did tell him that there was somebody down here. In doing that they saw more details of what this place was like, they could see that there were at what look like to be a major station in the subway system, that could possible been the terminal. They could see that there was some artwork on it, that look like that it was an artist rendition of heaven, while most of the painting was dirty, but it didn't matter because somehow the power of the painting shone through the dirt that was on it. While most of the dirt had covered most of the painting, there was one thing that all of them could clearly see despite the dirt, and that was an angel. It wasn't like the Digimon angels that Gatomon and Patamon Digivole into, it was more like a roman-style Angel that was holding something in her hand. That something they couldn't tell, because that part of the painting was damage beyond repair.
"What do you make of that?" Asked T.K.
"I think that it safe for us to head down that tunnel," said Kari. After that she down at her Digivice and she could see that they were getting closer to the position of where that thing was. "Plus we are getting closer to that thing."
T.K. pull out his D-3 and found out that she was right. So they all walked into the tunnel and found more of the rail that was in good shape, but the rest of the system was in bad shape. This time the it seem that this part was worst off than the pervious spot that they were in, but the rail was still in good shape. Again, T.K. was even more confused at what he was seeing, how could the rail be in good shape, while the tunnels that contain it won't.
What is going on? Asked T.K. Why is this place the way that it is, and I thought that the Digital World was weird, but this place is getting up there in weirdest. I said it before and I will say it again, nothing in the world has made sense since day one.
Kari stopped dead in her tracks and it was so sudden, that T.K. almost tripped over her feet. That made T.K. look at her and wondered what was going on with her.
"Kari, what is up?" Asked T.K.
"We are right on top of it, we should see it," said Kari.
Seconds after that the floor that was under them, collapsed and both of them fell through it. The two of them landed into another place, but unlike the first time when they fall through, the landed on something that was soft and that thing was a blanket or some type cloth.
"I am getting sick of this," said T.K.
"You aren't the only other one," said Kari.
"Kari," said Gatomon that had jumped down from the top to their location. While she did that, Patamon flew down to great the two of them.
"Are you all right?" Asked Gatomon.
"I am fine," said Kari.
T.K. used the flashlight to see where they were at, he saw that there were in a completely different type of room. The walls here were different from the walls of the subway-like transit system, the walls here were white and they look like that they were titled. He moved the flashlight around some more and found out that there was some artwork here, again they were of the regeuious theme, with angels and saints. While he didn't know a lot about the Roman Catholic faith, he did know enough about Christian faith, to know that he was looking at it right now. One of the pictures that he saw was that of a woman that was dress in some type of robe and she was holding a cross of some type in one hand, in the other hand she was holding a sword. T.K. took a closer look at the sword and notice something about it; he had seen it before.
"T.K. what is it?" Asked Kari.
"This sword this woman is holding, I have seen it before," started T.K. and then it hit him, he knew where he had seen it, it was Omnimon's sword, expect for the fact that it didn't have the Digi Code on it. "Yes, I have seen it before, it is Omnimon's sword, the one that he used to defeat Diaboromon almost four years ago."
Kari knew what he was talking about, but she didn't see the battle first hand, like he did, and because of that she didn't know all of the details about the battle like he did. The only things that she knew about the battle, were the fighters of the battle and the result of the battle. She knew how both Omnimon and Diaboromon came into being. Diaboromon came in being because of a virus that had attacked a mysterious Digi-Egg that was found on the Net and Omnimon was the result of him. Both WarGreymon and Metal Guarrumon fused together to make him, with their combine powers they had enough power to defeat him.
Neither Kari nor T.K. knew what to make of this, did they somehow know about the Digi World, if they did, it would explain how they knew about Omnimon's sword. Or was simply random change that these two words had the same type of sword that seems to be set in the same type of light. Omnimon did used it to defeat a devil-like Digimon, using it like a holy weapon against evil; here it was set as holy weapon that might be used the same way that Omnimon did.
T.K. continue to pan down the wall painting with his flashlight, so that he could see more of the details of this picture. While he was doing that, he found out that there was some type of script that was on the bottom of the picture. T.K. knew what the script was, it was Digi Code, the Japanese-like script that was pop up now and them through out the Digital World. T.K. had seen it on buildings and sometimes on Digimon themselves. None of the Digimon themselves could not read the script and neither because of that T.K. nor of any other of the other Digidestined could. It was a strange alien script that they recognized, but couldn't read.
"Is that what I think it is?" Asked Kari.
"Yep, this is Digi Code, but I would like to know why is it doing here, and I would love to know what this says," answered T.K.
"You aren't the only other one," said Kari.
"Hey, guy if you like this, you are going to love this," said Gatomon.
T.K. and Kari turned their attention to where Gatomon was. They both saw that she was standing next to a wall, and while she was blocking most of the wall, they both could see that the same Digi Code was written on the wall. With that T.K. moved the light across the wall, and he could see that almost the entire wall was written in this code.
"I just wish that we could see all of this," said T.K. After that he tripped over something and with that the entire room was light up. With that, T.K. saw that the entire room was written in this code and he also see that the room was a lot bigger than they first thought. Kari on the other hand notices that there were pieces of newspaper clippings on the floor as well.
While T.K. took at the look at all of the code, Kari on the other hand took a look at the different newspaper clippings. She found out that they were written in English and that they had different headlines that were simple everyday ones, until she hit one that felt like a punch that was below the belt. It stated "Major Earthquake…", but the rest of the headline was toured off, so she look at the date and the only thing that she got was March 12. Which was unless without the year that it happen. So she looked at the rest of the other clippings and like this one they had incomplete headlines with broken dates, they all had the mouth and the day, but no year.
"Wow!" Said T.K. "Izzy would have a field day in this place, and I wish that we have brought him along, he could have translated all of this."
"Look at this," said Patamon.
T.K. ran up to where Patamon was flying at and with that he saw that there was a picture there. T.K. took a look at the picture and they saw that there were to figures in it. At first they didn't recognize the figures, but a second time around, looking at the picture, they started to recognize the figures. The first one that recognized was a huge black snake-like creature that looks like a Mega Seadramon, an Ultimate Level Digimon that was snake-like in appearance who attack with an electric-style attack called Thunder Javelin, the second one they recognized as that black Megadeus. They continue down the wall and they could see all of the different pictures, each one of them had a common theme to them, they all contained that black Megadeus. While most of its opponents where things that they didn't recognized, the only other one thing that was out the group, they recognized was Big Duo. The rest of the other things, they had no clue who or what they were.
"What dose this mean?" Asked T.K.
"I don't know, why is it in Digi-Code?" Asked Patamon.
"Guys look at this," said Gatomon.
T.K. walked up where Gatomon was at, seeing that Kari, got up from the floor and also walked to where Gatomon was at. They saw that there was another picture in the series of pictures. In there they saw the battle that had token less than a day ago, they couldn't believe what they were looking at. It seems that the battle that they had was predestined to occur. That made them think about the rest of the other pictures that they saw. They wondered if they happen here, they would be right, all of the pictures that showed Big O fighting something did happen in this world, but they messed all of the fights that this place depicted on the walls.
As they continue down the hallway of the room, they saw more pictures with the black Megadeus in it, fighting different things that were as different as Digimon were. None of the pictures were things that they have seen before and then they saw the last picture, and none of them liked what they were saw in that picture.
"I don't like the sight of that," said T.K.
"You don't have to take this picture at face value, you know that you can change your destiny, so this dose not mean anything, it a guide, nothing more, nothing less," said Kari.
T.K. took a look at the other wall and found out that there were no pictures with the script, it was all text. He wanted to know what was this text was saying and the only the person that could tell them that, was Izzy, but they didn't bring him along. Now he was regretted the fact that he didn't do that and he wishes that he could back in time, take him with them.
"It funny, that one picture out of the group depicted a fight that we know for sure happen, what to said that the other pictures aren't what to come?" Asked T.K.
"T.K., you can't allow yourself to be ruled by what you see on a wall," said Gatomon.
"Gatomon," started T.K.
"She is right, you can't. Yes, this thing has things that have happen to us. Yes, that dose give it weights, but dose not mean anything. This is telling us, what could happen, it not written in stone that this will happen, things can be changed and maybe this is what this place is, to tell us what could happen, so that we change it for the better," said Kari.
"You are right, this dose not make so," said T.K.
Seconds after that the ground that was under them started to shake and with that, T.K. and Kari got separated. T.K. was still in the room, while Kari found herself in another level, which was totally different from the place that T.K. was in right now, she was all alone down there without Gatomon. Here this place was a lot darker and she could feel the darkest that was starting to enter into her soul, she could feel it, she felt like she was drowning in an ocean and nobody was listening to her calls for help.
T.K. recovered from the sock wave that he felt when the earth had literally open up on them, it gobbled up Kari. Seeing that T.K. ran to where the hole was at and he was stopped by a blast wave that had knock him back hard.
"T.K. are you all right?" Asked Patamon.
"I am fine," said T.K. He tried to get up from the ground and he found out that it was a lot harder than he thought it would be.
"You don't like fine," said another voice.
T.K. looks up and saw that it was the face of Roger Smith was standing over him. T.K. could see that his face was a mixed of worry and anger toward them. He didn't say anything to him, but he helps him up from the ground.
"Thank you," said T.K.
Roger just looked at him. "I told about this place, I told you not to leave my house, that this city isn't safe at night. Where is Kari?"
"Down there," said T.K.
Roger looked in the direction of where T.K had pointed to and he saw the hole that she had fallen into. He could see that it would take him deeper underground and that was something that he didn't want to do, but Kari's life was in danger, he had to do almost anything that was in his power to make sure that she was safe. If that meant facing his fear once again, he would do it and that what he did. Gatomon did the same thing.
Kari looked up and could see that there was something that was moving in her direction. She couldn't tell if the thing had a shape or not, the only thing that she could tell was that the thing was black and that it had two yellow gleaming eyes. She didn't know what to think about that thing, she didn't know if that thing was an evil Digimon or yet another Megadeus. The only thing that she could tell from the distance that she was at, was that thing was huge and it was coming in her direction.
She knew that she shouldn't look at the thing, but she did and that when she noticed something about it. It somehow was wrapping space around it, twisting it in a weird way, distorting it in a fashion that best suited it and as the thing got closer to her location. She could feel the effect of the wrap in space, it felt unnatural to her, it made her sick to stomach and she felt like she was going to throw up her meal that she had. She tried to prevent it, but it happens, she throw up her meal in the opposite direction of where the thing was. That didn't stop the forward process of the thing, it still headed in her direction.
"Kari," said a voice.
She tried to her head in the direction of where the voice was coming from and even with her blurred vision she could tell there were two shapes that were coming in her direction. Unlike that thing she at least tell who they were and with that she fainted on the ground, but before she hit the ground Roger caught her.
"Kari, are you all right?" He asked.
She coughed. "I can manage."
"That good to know," said Roger.
With that she felt stronger, now that she wasn't alone, she knew that she could face that thing that was out there. She turned in the direction of the thing and found out that it had stop dead in tracks, but it didn't go away, it just stood there, looking at them.
"What is that thing?" Asked Gatomon.
Roger turned in the direction of where Gatomon was at, he saw what they were talking about, and he narrowed his eyes on the thing. He had no clue what that thing was, like them, he couldn't get a clear shape of what that thing was, it was hidden to far away from them to see what it was. The only thing that he saw was a shadowy outline of what it was, he could see that it had spikes on it arms and what to him appeared to be wings, but the rest of the thing he couldn't tell. He didn't know if this thing was a Digimon or yet another Megadeus, it just stood there, waiting for the right moment to attack.
What seem to take almost forever, the thing started to move again and Roger was ready to act, he had his watch out, ready to call on Big O when it needed. He didn't care that doing this would reveal that he was the pilot of that thing and the name that he called it.
The thing came into the light and with that it showed what it was, it was a combination of both a Digimon and a Megadeus, but even with that, there was some type of fog that was hiding the truth shape of what that thing was. After that things happen so fast that no human eye could track, Gatomon Digivole into Angewomon, the female angel that had series of white wings and a pink ribbon over her head. Roger was awe stuck at the sight of the angel, a true angel and it also was the outfit that she was wearing, that lead much to imagination as well. He was a little turn on by it and Kari notices how he was looking at her Digimon. She felt to slap him square in the face and that what she did, she slap him the face to give a little tastes of the real world. That she was a Digimon, a Digital Monster, and he was a human being, there was no way that these two have a real type of relationship with each other. With Angemon, that was a different story all together.
It did the trick, he was brought back to the real world and he saw that thing out there, with that he knew what he had to do. He had to bring Big O into the fray and that what he did, by calling it out by name.
Angewomon didn't know what this "Big O" was, but it had to be something was important because he wasn't picked to be her protector in this world, because he didn't have anything to bring to table. She couldn't think about that matter because she had to deal with that thing as well, that was like nothing that she had seen before, it look like that it was freak of nature, something that didn't belong in either worlds. She also knew that this thing was a threat to Kari and because of that she would have to deal with it, in her own way.
"Celestial Arrow!" She yelled at her attack and second after that she formed a crossbow out of her right hand and in her left hand she formed a white-light arrow. Then she fired the attack at the thing.
The attack hit the thing and it did little to stop the thing, but it did do something, it somehow burned off the fog that had hid the true shape of what that thing. The thing was black and it had armor on it, which was in the same style of Seraphymon, but she knew that was no Seraphymon. Seraphymon was had blue armor on him and he had the symbol of hope on his chest, this guy no symbol like that on his armor. While Seraphymon had a series of golden wings on his back, this thing had black wings, almost like he was the equal but opposite version of him. That wasn't the only thing that was different from the two of them, this thing has had triangle extensions on his arms as well, seeing that she knew that she didn't have the power to take that thing out.
Then she saw the thing that could have the power to take that thing on, the black Megadeus that was known as Big O, had came through the ceiling, destroying the part of ceiling as well, creating a huge dust cloud that hide the shape of thing from other thing. As the dust settled the shadowy outline of Big O appeared and the first thing that Angewomon notice was the eyes of the thing, the white eyes that seem to break through the dust, like a shinning beacon all alone in the night.
Seeing that Angewomon now understood the reasons why they called this thing a "Megadeus", it fit that name perfectly well. She knew that she was in the present of a god, or something that had just as much power as a god was, it didn't matter if that thing was a metal god.
Inside, Roger had prepared himself and Big O for the battle, and he looked to see how Kari was, after the trip. While he was used to it, he knew that she wasn't, had funny feelings that she was overwhelmed by the experience.
"Kari, don't be afraid, I won't hurt you and neither will Big O," said Roger. "Anyway I need you up here."
Kari still a little snaked by the trip that they took when they took the trip made her way to where Roger was. She saw that he was sitting down a chair with both hands on two levers, waiting for the right moment to attack.
Roger heard that and took a look at her. He saw that even with his words of encouragement, she still was a little scared at what had happen to her. "Good, I need you to tell me if that thing out there is a Digimon."
Kari look out the glass window and with that she saw the true shape of what that thing was. Like Angewomon, she knew that this thing was a complete different form of Seraphymon. Unlike before she saw that thing, she didn't get the feeling of drowning in a black ocean, she didn't know why, it could have been that was inside of Big O, under the protection of that thing. It was because of that, she knew that she could look on that thing without that fear of what that thing could do to her. That what she did, she look at the thing and she with that, she got the feeling, that thing was no Digimon, real or created.
"Kari, tell me, is that thing a Digimon?" Asked Roger.
"No, that thing isn't a Digimon, I don't know what the thing is," answered Kari.
Roger turned his attention back to that thing, and he narrowed his eyes at that thing. "I tell you one thing, that thing is going down! I don't what you are, Digimon or Megadeus, I can tell you one thing you don't belong here! You belong to the darkest and deepest pit you crawl out of, I am going to put you back there!"
Angewomon saw that thing was about to hit the other thing and with that she got out of the way. Because she knew that this was going to be an epic fight as these two titans were going to clash with each other, in some type of fight that might come out of Greek or Roman myth.
The anti Seraphymon-thing was the first thing to attack, but it didn't attack in the normal sense, it didn't attack Big O, it attacks the ceiling that was on top of it. It did that by a beam out of it arm and in the confusion, it used a harpoon like weapon to bring itself out of the pit onto the street of Paradigm. Roger made Big O do the same thing and while he did that, he smash through the room that had all of the pictures and script on it, destroying most of it, it also made T.K. jump out of the way as he saw the thing come through the room.
"Whoa!" Yelled T.K.
"T.K.!" Yelled Angemon and after that he shielded him from the flying debris. After that Angemon looked and could see that that thing had rip through almost everything, they could see the surface of the place.
"Thanks, Angemon," said T.K.
"Not a problem, and I think that we should go up there," said Angemon.
With that T.K. jumped on the back of Angemon and the two of them went through the hole that was caused by Big O. Outside they got full size of the thing, when they compare it to the buildings of this city. They also saw that Angewomon was out there as well, next to good black Megadeus. They won't the only other ones that saw what had happen, Angel had also seen it and because of that she drove her car to where the battle was taking place.
She recognized Big O, but the other thing she didn't and the thing that really got to her was the two angels that were there as well.
"Megadeus," she said.
She drove her car to the battle, and while she was doing that, the thing that Roger was going up against, made it first attack to him. It used it triangle extensions as a weapon, and when the thing fired them, they got bigger, it hit the arms of Big O and it did little damage to the arms, that Roger were using as a defense weapon. Time and time the was the only thing that it hit with Big O.
The thing stopped attacking him with that attack.
"My turn," said Roger.
Kari watch as Roger through the used of the levers, used Big O's arms to punch the thing in the face, unlike it did to him. Even with that, the thing wasn't affected by the series of punches that Roger had squarely landed right in the face.
"Time to heat things up," he said.
Outside, Big O had fired on if it piston that had locked it first in position and with that Big O swung at the wrath-like thing. The wrath-like thing blocked the attack through used a metal spike that reminded Kari of Paildramon's Striking Strike Attack.
"What!?" Asked a socked Roger.
Stilling holding Big O's attack, the wrath-like using it free hand brought out the harpoon. Seconds after that it aimed it toward Big O and was about to fire it at the Megadeus.
"Hand of Faith!" Yelled Angemon.
"Celestial Arrow!" Yelled Angewomon.
Both angelic attacks hit the wrath-like thing, and broke the harpoon thing, but that wasn't the only other thing that happen. It had turned it attention to the two angels, Kari saw that and she knows what was going to happen, that thing was going to attack the two of them. She knew that Angewomon didn't have the strength to take that thing on, she knew that Angewomon couldn't Digivole to Magma Dramon without her being around her, and Roger wouldn't let her out of here. The only hope that they had was if Angemon through T.K.'s hope Digivole to Magma Angemon.
"T.K. if you can hear me, make Angemon go to his Ultimate Level," said Kari.
Right on Que., that what happen to Angemon, he went to his Ultimate Level of Magma Angemon, the great Angel. The angel that had eight white wings, four of them were out in the open, two of them were around his body, one his right hand he had the mighty sword of Excalibur and on his left side he had a pink shield, which was a beam shield. On his head he had a huge helmet that cover the eyes, but didn't block his view of the world. Around his wings he had two ribbons that were also covered by the same Digi Code that T.K. and Kari saw in the underground room
"Who is that?" Asked Roger.
"That Magma Angemon, that the Ultimate Form of Angemon," answered Kari.
The wraith-like thing and Angel stood in sock at the sight of this angel, Angel didn't know what to said at this. The thing had change it form, to a much more powerful form and she wanted to know why.
How are these things doing this? She asked herself. She had never seen anything like this before; this was out of the range of all of the things that made their home, Paradigm. These things were outside of this place and with that she knew that these were things that couldn't be control be either Rosewater or the Paradigm group. They were independent of him and his group with that Angel knew without a second thought that these were the things that were destined to come to this city, that this was the twilight of his power.
This wasn't the end for Angel and the wraith-like thing, for Magma Angemon was going to show this world his attack.
"Celestial Arrow!" Yelled Angewomon. Her energy arrow hit the thing again, and this thing it cracked the armor a little.
The wraith-like thing fired an energy beam at the woman angel. Kari couldn't watch and Roger grunted in frustration at what he was seeing.
"All right, Big O, let's go," said Roger.
With that Big O fired his eye beam weapon at the wraith-like energy attack and both attacks null each other. After that Angewoman sure herself up for the attack.
"Heaven's Charm!" She yelled out her finishing move. Seconds after that both of her hand moved across her body, producing a cross of pink energy, that she fired at the thing.
The powerful attack hit the entire body of the wraith-like thing and with that Magma Angemon knew that it was time for him to do his attack.
"Gate of Destiny!" He said and with the his sword he produced a circle of energy that when it was complete form a huge yellow gate that open up in the air that tried to suck the thing up. Even with the power of the Heaven's Charm attack, it still wasn't strong enough for the thing to be picked up for the pulling force of that thing.
Seeing that Roger knew what he had to do and with that he made Big O's fire the Chrome Buster at the thing. It did, in the more dramatic style by locking both arms in position and then brings them together at the same thing the energy beam was fired from the head of Big O.
"Heaven's Charm!" Yelled Angewoman again. Like before the pink energy attack hit him, but unlike before, she had backup and that was the energy from the Chrome Buster. Both attacks did the trick, the wraith-like thing was pull through the Gate of Destiny that after it had sucked the thing it closed.
* * *
Angel just stood there, looking at what just had happen, that was the icing on the cake for her, this confirmed everything.
"The end is near," she said.
Rosewater saw the entire fight take place and with that, he didn't need any of the information that Angel had gather, because he knew what these things were, they were Digimon, the creatures that came from the Digital World. A world that he had heard of through stories, but he thought that was more mealy tall tales that were told by half-drunken sailors. This proves that they were real.
"So you are the fame Digimon of the Digital World, I heard of you before, that you are brings of good luck and change. Neither of them are things that you will bring here," said Rosewater.
TBC…
Okay, people what do you think? You know the drill. Please be kind and review the story.
