Authors notes: When writing this chapter for the first time, a lot of
scenes didn't go as well as I liked, and while reading the rewrite is not
necessary if you've read the original, you might want to see these events
handled in a decent way, and there are a couple continuity mistakes(Scenes
I thought I put in but never did, and stuff like that). This should be the
last re-write in this story with actual plot edits though, and quite
possibly the last altogether. Besides, I'm afraid people aren't reading
beyond this chapter because they're scared off. This is a crossover, and
some things will appear not in the normal timeline. I heavily altered what
happened in V-tamer, and some alterations have been made to the adventure
timeline. As Grappleomon in my opinion suits Leo much better then
Panjyamon, Leo took that route of evolution instead. Also, I forgot to
mention this in the first chapter, but the name Fallen Devimon (But not the
creature), was created by Yugure/His Master's Voice, and is used with
permission. And now, chapter 3 (Heavenly light! The daughter of
Ophaniovael.) begins.
"Devimon, you'll pay for this!" Greymon yelled in anger, charging at the
fallen digimon, his rage twisting his very being. "Greymon Shinka! Skull
Greymon". He grew in size, while his skin and helmet fell off. A missile
launcher appeared on his back, while he became one of the biggest digimon
ever seen. Though merely a skeleton, he was incredibly powerful, but once
the power had been used on Devimon, it may very well be turned on the
chosen.
"Aquillamon!"
"Tailmon!"
"Jogress Shinka"
"Sylphimon." Tailmon and Aquillamon fused together, making a humanoid
birdlike warrior. It was wearing a helmet, with birdlike wings and cat
ears. Its body was covered in red and white feathers, like those of the
Aquillamon that had formed a large part of this digimon.
Skull Greymon charged at the demon in full-blown rage. Fallen Devimon
quickly flew upwards while grabbing Patamon(While Takeru looked on
hopelessly), angering Skull Greymon even more, when unable to think
clearly, it leaped at the Nightmare Soldier. Fallen Devimon was not afraid,
and with it's claw outstretched, dove at Skull Greymon. Metal hit bone, but
the claw that killed V-mon could not do the same to Skull Greymon, as
Fallen Devimon's claw was stubbed. Fallen Devimon flew upward, about five
hundred feet in the air, while Skull Greymon shot the missile on its back,
and Sylphimon flew after it in chase.
Sylphimon flew through the cloudy sky at Fallen Devimon. "Static Force!"
Sylphimon yelled, shooting a ball of energy at Fallen Devimon. Quickly, the
Dark Lord adjusted his position, flying slightly to the right to dodge the
attack. On the ground, Skull Greymon's became even angrier, that this
strange digimon had retreated like a coward, and shot the orange missile on
his back. The attack spiraled upwards; until Fallen Devimon caught it in
one of his tentacled demon claws and threw it back down. Running out of
energy, Skull Greymon returned to the form of Agumon.
"Top Gun!" A ball of pink energy formed in Sylphimon's hands, which it
threw at the missile. A huge explosion rocked the air, as both attacks were
destroyed in a flash of red light. "Dual Sonic!" the bird warrior yelled
out, glowing pink and shooting a wave of energy at Fallen Devimon. The wave
zoomed at Fallen Devimon, but Lady Devimon hit it with her spear arm,
absorbing the attack.
Birdramon flew up, the phoenix trying to rescue Patamon from the clutches
of the dark overlord. "Fire Flapping!" Birdramon flapped her wings, while a
flame sped towards Fallen Devimon's tentacle, where Patamon was screaming
in pain. The attack hit, distracting Fallen Devimon enough that Patamon was
let free, and the animal digimon flew down to Takeru.
"You won't kill me like you did my sisters." Lady Devimon said, with much
anger in her voice. But how couldn't she be angry, when this digimon(Or
half of it anyway) was the reason she didn't have a family anymore.
"Darkness Wave!" A swarm of purple bats flew out, speeding right towards
Sylphimon.
"Though I am sorry for what I have done to you, and bear you no ill will,
if you side with Fallen Devimon, you must be stopped." Sylphimon replied
calmly, while a ball of pink energy was being formed in its hand. "Top
Gun!" The ball sped towards Lady Devimon, where her bats devoured it.
"Good-bye, chosen." Devimon said, hatred clear in his voice, and his desire
to drag out the torture as much as possible would not allow him to use an
attack causing immediate death, but this one could cause fatal injury at
least. "Oh, and here is a little parting gift. Metal Smiley Bomb!" Devimon
flew up away from the chosen children enough that he was out of sight,
while dropping a metallic bomb, with a smiling face on it, which proceeded
to shoot at the chosen. However, it would not bring them certain death from
wounds inflicted by it, as Sylphimon flew into a dive, at about a forty-
five degree angle with the path of the bomb. The blast hit, sending
Sylphimon flying hundreds of feet, and changing back, as where the bird
warrior once was, a small puppy and a winged fuzzy ball were now, while
Hawkmon feathers began falling to the ground.
"Why did Devimon just leave like that?" Yamato asked, wondering what could
possibly be the motivation for him fleeing.
"There is no time to explain, quickly, run this way." Leomon ordered,
pointing his finger out, and then running to what appeared to be a random
spot. Pressing a button on his sword, the ground gave way, and a network of
tunnels took its place. Quickly, the ground itself sped to a city of
metal, taking the chosen with them. The adult level digimon returned to
their child state, sensing the battle was over.
Factorial fortress was not only a refugee camp and last line of defense, it
was also a bustling metropolis. At first, merely an abandoned factory stood
in this place overseen by Andromon, but in time around it grew a great
domed city, with that Andromon as its ruler. He programmed many Guardromon
to defend it, and with the allegiance of a mysterious half-feline chosen
and a refugee Grappleomon, created a vast network of digimon, and gave them
each ways to teleport to the underground city. It was this city, this city
of defense against and escape from darkness, which the chosen children and
Leomon arrived in. A guardromon began scanning them, pink light going over
each one of the group in turn. Then, having completed the search, the
Guardromon spoke. "Units Taichi, Agumon, Yamato, Gabumon, Koushirou,
Tentomon, Mimi, Palmon, Sora, Piyomon, Takeru, Patamon, Hikari, Plotmon,
Daisuke, Miyako, Poromon, Iori, Armadimon, and Leomon cleared for entry.
Danger, the Digimon Kaizer and his vile partner Wormmon are among you. I
will destroy them."
"Destruction Grenade!" a missile shot from the hand of Guardromon, aiming
straight at the chosen of kindness. Leomon moved to block the strike. A
vast amount of Guardromon began circling Ken, all stating "The Kaizer has
returned. He will not leave this city alive." In unison, they raised their
arms to attack, and then stopped suddenly. From one of the larger buildings
in Factorial Fortress, an Andromon walked out. This Andromon was a longtime
friend of the chosen children, the one who had fought with them against the
dark masters. This was the Andromon that the chosen children had freed from
the control of evil twice.
"Greetings" the Andromon spoke, his voice very robotic. "What brings you to
this city?"
"We seek safety, Devimon has returned." Leomon responded, growling as he
said Devimon's name.
"Please Andromon, won't you let us stay in the city. Even Ken, the former
Digimon Kaizer, wishes for Devimon's downfall." Hikari said, kindly.
Andromon had been a good friend of hers for some time, , and a fight
between him and Wormmon was the last thing she wanted. Surely Leomon and
the other chosen children would side with Ken, and Andromon would be badly
hurt, or maybe even killed.
"This city was built as a fortress against evil, and if you say Ken has
become a chosen child I will believe you." Andromon said, knowing that
Hikari would not lie about something like this.
"Thank you, Andromon." Hikari said, relief clear in her eyes. The chosen
made their way into a large metal building(Which describes pretty much
everything in Factorial, but there wasn't much detail to add relating to
this particular building), where they could get some rest. The next day,
they would awaken to the reality of war with Fallen Devimon, and try think
up some plan as to how. But for now, they could sleep.
Day turned to night, and back to day, though in the factorial fortress so
deep underground, it was nearly impossible to notice. Before the chosen
awoke, Leomon was paid a visit. His brother, Leo of Folder was the one
paying him said visit. Leo was of the Grappleomon species, and his white
and black armor shone in the artificial light of Factorial. This
Grappleomon was the one in charge of training younger digimon into better
fighters, a very difficult task indeed, especially for someone of such a
stern demeanor. His face had a look of complete seriousness on it, and
appeared cold and uncaring at the same time, accepting whatever came to him
with barely any emotion.
"Hello, my brother." Leo said, his voice almost showing pity. "Do you
actually put your faith in these chosen children? Look at how badly the
other Taichi failed. I don't want you and the others to die like Lord Holy
Angemon did." He said, struggling to keep his stern demeanor as he
mentioned the name of his former ruler. It had been six years since Demon
was nearly killed on Folder, six years since Taichi failed to save Holy
Angemon from death. Leo had some feelings for the archangel, yet he could
not admit it to himself, not until Arca Demon killed Lord Holy Angemon
anyway.
"A chosen child did cause Demon's downfall." Leomon responded, "Even if it
was one of darkness. I believe this group can win, though I am not certain.
I am at least sure it stands a better chance then you, Kuwagamon,
Tyrannomon, and Centarumon. Fallen Devimon defeats perfects just as well as
he defeated adults when he was Devimon. I am sorry, but this plan of yours
will certainly fail." Leomon said, as he had a great deal of faith in the
chosen children. He had fought along side them, and seen how well they
fought. He had believed that their good could stop the evil of the thirteen
lords of darkness, and they had killed eight of them, and banished three
more, though one had returned.
"That, my brother, is where we differ. Had you seen what happened on
Folder, seen the devastation after Demon left, you would realize by now
these children are not our salvation. After the deaths of so many of their
allies, they may have managed to triumph over the Dark Masters, but their
digimon can not reach the levels they previously could, though they could
serve some function as bait. They can not save our world, which is why my
forces must do so on their own. It is always a sad day when one Leomon
draws his sword against another, but if you interfere, that day will come,
and after the tragedy in the Air Dragon village, I can't see why you have
faith in them. Leomon, you are a fool." Leo responded, the Grappleomon
turning around(Much more easily then one would think for a digimon wearing
that much armor) and walking away, knowing that Leomon's blind faith in the
chosen could cost his brother his life.
"The chosen have proven to win even when it seemed impossible. Leo, I am
afraid you underestimate them." Leomon replied, and walked away to check on
how the current plans for Factorial's defense were doing.
The next day, the chosen children awoke to the sound of Guardromon
performing maintenance. "What was that?" Yamato said, rubbing his eyes out.
"A meeting is starting soon. We must meet with the other chosen, so we can
make a plan of action." Gabumon said. "While you were sleeping, Devimon was
probably conquering more and more of the digital world, and we need some
defense and quick. The others are outside the Hagurumon factory." Yamato
ran to the building where he saw Hagurumon being made, Mecha Norimon
programming and building them piece by piece. The other chosen children
were standing around, probably waiting for him to arrive. Quickly, Leomon
came rushing in.
"Taichi, Yamato, Sora, Koushirou, Mimi, Takeru, Hikari, Miyako, Iori, Ken,
Agumon, Gabumon, Piyomon, Tentomon, Palmon, Patamon, Plotmon, Poromon,
Armadimon, Wormmon, I apologize for the interruption." Leomon addressed
each chosen child, along with their digimon partners, looking at each of
them in turn. "For all my life, I have been fighting against evil digimon.
In my baby-2 phase of Nyaramon, my village was being terrorized by a
goblimon. I trained relentlessly, evolved to child, and defeated him. At
that point, I decided to dedicate my life to fighting evil digimon, wanting
no one else to have to suffer. I traveled far and wide, fighting evil,
until I heard reports that the goblimon was back. We battled once more,
each of us evolving during the fight. He became the Ogremon you all know,
while I became the protector of innocent digimon I have gained so much
respect at as. As soon as I was reborn, I trained at a very fast rate, so
fast I could return to my adult phase again. And now, I must to align with
you, not just meeting for the occasional battle and then sacrificing myself
in it, but traveling with you and fighting all the battles you are in. Will
you allow me to join?" Leomon spoke, recalling the events of his past, and
pledging to help them. A look of shock crossed Mimi's eye as Leomon
recounted his past, and then an extreme look of pity. Excitement replaced
that look, when Leomon said that he would be coming along though.
"I am glad you are one of us." Taichi replied, accepting Leomon as a member
of the party. The moment of Leomon's joining was interrupted, as Koushirou
began to assess the situation.
"At the moment, we only have 10 warriors. Jou has not arrived in this
world, V-mon is dead, and Takeru losing hope prevents Patamon from
evolving." Thankfully, Leomon, you are fighting with us. Only one digimon
can even reach the perfect level. We will need another. Without it, the
odds of us winning are about 2,451,786 to 3 against. Our spies have
reported that Devimon has managed to take the crest of kindness, after it
was abandoned in the ruins of your base. We must win it back. But, I don't
think we should send all of us on this one mission. Ken should go, as it is
his crest, and the power of it may prove needed in the end."
"Hikari and Miyako's digimon can reach the perfect level during a jogress.
As much as I hate to say it, I fear Skull Greymon will be needed as well,
and we can only hope he will run out of energy before he turns on us, so I
shall go. After what happened at Air Dragon village, I think we will need
a digimon that can attack many at once, and Togemon can do so best of us,
and a precise shot doesn't hurt, so Leomon will round out the group. I
think we will need all five of you for this mission, but if any more were
to come, if a battle elsewhere sprang up, we wouldn't be capable of doing a
thing about it." Taichi spoke, saddened as he prepared to lead them into
battle, and fearful that if he failed with this, Hikari and the others
would be killed, and he would be to blame. "Devimon is far stronger then
he was before, and I can not guarantee anyone's safety. If any of you
don't want to come, I understand."
The journey was a long one, and night began to fall without anything
important happening, Infinity Mountain seeming as far away as ever. Worn
down by exhaustion, and having less endurance then most people to begin
with, the chosen of purity began to complain. To make matters worse, while
the other humans had digimon that they could use for transportation,
Togemon didn't have the speed necessary, and would even slow them down a
bit. "I'm tired, and all this walking is really hurting my feet. Could we
take a break?" Mimi asked, the fatigue overwhelming her.
"We're approaching Devimon's lair, so it is crucial to sneak in without our
presence being known. When we try to go to sleep, it will take some effort
to find somewhere to do so without being detected, and if we were to take
the time to take a break, it would give Devimon's forces some time to
launch a sneak attack on us, so it can't be done." Taichi explained, while
Mimi looked downwards sadly.
"Mimi, I could carry you." Leomon offered, not wanting Mimi to get so worn
out. He rarely carried others, but Mimi seemed to need his help. The long
journeys on foot through the digital world had never been easy for her, and
with so little time to rest, it seemed to be getting even worse. Mimi
nodded her head, and her eyes got a very dreamy look in an exaggerated
anime expression. "Leomon, you're so heroic, and such a powerful warrior as
well." Mimi thought as Leomon made the offer, and began to recall the Metal
Etemon incident from so long ago.
And with that the journey continued, to the mountain of darkness, the lair
of Devimon, and despite their efforts, they would prove unable to sneak in
completely unnoticed. It wouldn't be long before Devimon sent his minions
to block their way to Infinity. But even the chosen children must sleep,
but the child of light was too troubled to do so, and as the new war began,
the source of her powers proved to trouble her a good bit, as did the
thought that she may need to use them once more.
While the others were sleeping, Hikari and Tailmon had wandered off, Hikari
deep in thought. "What are you thinking about?" Tailmon asked, though she
had a good idea of what was troubling her.
"My ancestry." Hikari said, worried about the part of her past she could
accept in her first adventure, but could handle less and less as she grew.
"You know, me not even being fully human, but the daughter of Ophaniovael,
a legend among the higher beings. I'm just not sure if I can be worthy of
her legacy, and I feel like it's slipping away from me."
Ophaniovael was an Ophanimon, and a legend among them. Rumor had it that
she had not come from the Tailmon-Angewomon line like most of her species,
and there were reports among the few that ever saw her face that it did not
have the elven appearance so many angel digimon did. A legendary warrior
of heaven, said to have banished the Demon from behind the wall of fire to
the dark realm so long ago, but even with her amazing power, she was still
killed by the injuries received during combat. It had been said that
Ophaniovael had fallen in love with one of the original chosen who had been
summoned to stop that Demon so long ago, and that Hikari, chosen of light
from the group faced with the struggles against Vamdemon and the Dark
Masters, among others, was the offspring of that union. Hikari had many
light abilities from this, but she was beginning to reject her origins and
use her power less, out of a desire to be normal, and fearing Dagomon would
.notice this and come for her again. It also exhausted her terribly to use
this light, as she was half-human, and humans can not channel great powers
nearly as well as digimon.. Though she was not truly related to Taichi, the
digimon she was entrusted to knew that she had to be protected from the
great evils she would face, and knowing Taichi would be a loyal protector,
she was brought into the Yagami family, but through manipulation of memory
none of them knew the truth, at least for some time. Of course, knowing
the impact the knowledge she was not a Yagami would have, Dagomon had
revealed it to her during the years between this adventure and the one long
before against Belial Vamdemon, and she managed to receive conformation
from Tailmon, though she had long since suspected there was something
unusual about her ancestry.
But before she managed to respond to Hikari's concerns, Tailmon's ears
perked up sensing an attack. "We've been found. Three Airdramon and a
Devidramon are approaching, we must prepare." Tailmon informed Hikari, not
seeming surprised at all by the attack, though some surprise came as she
said Devidramon. She was wondering why a Devidramon, a species which was so
weak away from areas of darkness and other strong Nightmare Soldiers, would
be leading an attack squad. The bearer of light and her digimon ran back to
the trees hiding the other chosen in hopes of waking them to fight off the
attack.
"We're under attack! A devidramon is coming!" Hikari yelled in an effort to
wake the others, but it did not seem so easy.
"Cat Kick!" A swift blow to the tail woke Hawkmon, who promptly alerted
the others to prepare for battle, and having not had much time to sleep to
begin with, they were swiftly able to evolve without wasting much time
waking up.
"Shouldn't we be attacking the Airdramon instead?" Hikari asked.
"Agumon Shinka, Greymon!" Agumon yelled out, transforming into an orange
horned carnosaur digimon, and growling very loudly as he prepared for
battle.
"Wormmon Shinka, Stingmon!" The larva digimon spoke, evolving into a green
humanoid beetle digimon.
"Palmon Shinka, Togemon!" Palmon said, and a mobile cactus digimon appeared
where the flowering plant once stood.
Greymon charged, rushing towards the Airdramon. The chosen children made
haste to what would soon be the scene of battle, about three hundred feet
away. Tailmon and Leomon both heard a small burst of wind, like it was
coming from something thrown. Greymon suddenly fell, three black shuriken
in his back, and then returned to his child form of Agumon.
"What happened?" Taichi asked to no one in particular, as clueless about
why Greymon fell as the rest of them.
"Who heard that?" Tailmon said, her ears perking up again, in preparation
for another attack.
"That was definitely from a thrown weapon." Leomon stated, confused. "But
no Airdramon or Devidramon could to that. Airdramon don't have anything to
throw it with, and a Devidramon's arms aren't well-developed enough.
Something else is here."
"Take this, Prickly Bang!" Togemon yelled, spraying needles in all
directions, expertly dodged by the enemies. Soon, she would find herself
cut down. Three black shuriken stuck in her back, Tailmon and Leomon
hearing the wave of wind, and Togemon returned to being Palmon once more,
just as Greymon had been taken down so recently. However, the shock was
interrupted of the sudden attacks, as Devidramon took flight. With speed
unmatched by elf or dwarf or mortal man(And a flight speed record as well
for low-level dragons), Devidramon flew over to Mimi, claw outstretched.
Leomon could not let Mimi be killed. He would not let any chosen die, the
world may depend on their survival. Also, he cared greatly for Mimi, and
would not let Devidramon kill her. He pounced, and drew his sword, quick as
a cheetah while sprinting on fire and strapped to the end of a spaceship-
launching rocket. Sword hit claw, but an adult level digimon would prove to
be no match for the perfect, though who knew that Devidramon's level was
perfect at the time? The sheer force of the impact proved devastating, as
Leomon was thrown back approximately two hundred twenty nine feet, landing
unconscious and his sword knocked into the ground nearby.
"What is going on?" Ken asked, as confused as the rest of them. "When away
from an area of evil, Devidramon are very weak for adult-level digimon,
though nothing comparable to filth digimon or Bakemon. How could Leomon, a
great warrior at the adult level, lose so easily?"
Hikari did not know any more then the others about Devidramon. She did not
like to use her magic, but her friends were in trouble. She had tried to
separate her celestial heritage from herself, not having cast a single
spell during her previous digimon adventure. But she had no choice. If she
didn't, Tailmon, Taichi, and the others would die. With that thought, she
began glowing white, and cast a spell to find out what was going on with
that Devidramon. "That is no ordinary Devidramon. It is at the perfect
level." She informed the others.
A beam of light shot from her hands at Devidramon, imprisoning it in a ball
of bright light, painful to the dragon's dark heart. "Devidramon will not
continue to fight without his forces. The Airdramon must be freed, and
quickly" Hikari said, knowing her strength would soon give out. Then she
fell unconscious exhausted by the use of her magical power, as humans can't
channel that much magic without becoming exhausted.
Quickly, three shuriken came, speeding rapidly towards Tailmon. However,
Tailmon had heard the last attack and had suspected what was happening.
Because of this, she was able to hold out her gloved claw to try to catch
them, and easily did just that. With three quick flicks of the wrist,
throwing stars zoomed towards the group of Airdramon, one at each of them.
One of them flew up and dodged the blade. Another flapped its wings to
knock it down with a powerful gust. However, the third one was not avoided,
as neither Airdramon nor Igamon saw the star coming. The ninja digimon
could not defend itself, and let out a high pitched scream, falling off
it's dragon mount, until it saw no more.
"That sounded like an Igamon." Hawkmon commented, as Miyako held out the
digimental of purity.
"Digimental Up!" Miyako yelled, activating the evolution.
"Hawkmon, Armor Shinka, Shurimon!" Hawkmon merged with the digimental of
purity. Where once a bipedal bird stood, a humanoid warrior took its place.
It wore long white robes, and had a mask over its face. Long leaves
materialized one on each arm acting as arm-guards. The hands and feet were
replaced by blue shuriken, attached by a green cord to the limbs. Also, a
giant shuriken materialized on its back.
"Igamon are riding the Airdramon. They used darkness to conceal themselves,
but I don't need light to see those deceptive digimon. Each one, Airdramon
and Igamon alike, has a black gear." Shurimon informed them.
"Autumn Wind!" The giant shuriken on Shurimon's back was thrown and its
four blue blades spun through the air. The shuriken was thrown perfectly
with so much expertise that it smashed the black gears of all three
Airdramon in one shot. The Airdramon angered by their dark riders, spun
around in a blue cyclone, ejecting the Igamon and knocking them
unconscious. The holy prison that held Devidramon gave way, and the demon
dragon bravely retreated, flapping its giant wings and flying back up to
Devimon's lair. Even when unconscious the Igamon still were too hard to see
at night, so they would manage to return to Devimon once they woke, and
after the Airdramon gave a gesture for thanks, they flew towards factorial
fortress, as the chosen informed them that their former home had been
completely destroyed, and they would have to hide from Devimon, else he
would enslave them again.
At the lair of Fallen Devimon, on Infinity Mountain, Devidramon flew in,
his wings folded behind him and his tail between his legs. "Lord Devimon, I
failed." He said, apologetic for his failure and fearing what would come.
"What!" Fallen Devimon said, his look a mix of confusion and fury. "How
could a perfect and six adults lose to such a weak force. Especially
considering our stealth tactics should have taken out two or three of them"
"It's Hikari. She trapped me for minutes, while the others fought very
well, and Tailmon found out Igamon's stealth tactics. Some sort of holy
barrier, and considering how young she is combined with her immense holy
power, I suspect she may be the daughter of Ophaniovael." Fallen Devimon's
red eyes shuddered, a look of fear in them eyes, until he realized that
Hikari's other half was human, and if Demon could kill Ophaniovael herself,
then he was more then strong enough to kill Ophaniovael's half-breed
daughter.
"So, Ophaniovael's daughter was not mere legend. Still, I have more then
enough strength to slay her.
Meanwhile, Takeru looked on back at Factorial Fortress. He was useless like
this and he couldn't let Devimon win, the consequences of that were to
great. He knew it was impossible to stop him, but maybe if he regained his
hope he could at least delay him, and give the humans and digimon an extra
day or so before being plunged into darkness. "Patamon, Let's go. I must
regain my hope," Takeru said, with as little emotion as Orson of Record of
Lodoss War.
"Takeru, wait" Sora said, running out of the building that housed her in
factorial fortress. "You and Patamon are helpless right now. If you leave,
Devimon will just kill you both, or worse. I'm going with you." Sora said,
as she cared greatly for Takeru and would not allow him to throw his life
away. Piyomon nodded in agreement. And the four left the gates of Factorial
Fortress, returning to the surface, to fight whatever dark forces would be
sent at them.
"Birdboy2000 still couldn't think up a catchy beginning, so let the Omake
begin." Chibi versions of Takeru and Sora said in unison.
"Now, back on topic, I came here to invite you to the greatest battle you
have ever seen." Chibi-Raistlin said. "A mage duel between myself, Cecil
from the village of Zaxon, on Lodoss, Beginner of Monworld, Wizaamon of
digimon adventure, and Black mage of 8-bit theater (Located at
nuklearpower.com, and please don't ask why such a weird selection of mages
was made, the author's mind is not something you should ever look in to.)."
"Why aren't I taking part?" Chibi-Deedlit asked.
"Because this is for sorcerous magic only." Chibi-Raistlin said, and pulled
out a sign showing an elf shaman, with a circle around it and a diagonal
line through it.
"Why didn't you send Dalamar" Chibi-Miyako asked. An anime sweatdrop
appeared behind each of the others.
"I thought Wizaamon was dead," Tailmon said, wondering what was going on.
"As for the Leomon thing, I took control after Fallen Devimon did that.
Fortunately, there are clerics there to raise him. And Tailmon, a wizard
did it." Chibi-Raistlin said, and produced one of Astinus's books to prove
it. Instantly, Chibi-Raistlin muttered words of magic, and the Super
deformed chosen children appeared in a great arena of magical proportions.
Chibi-Raistlin explained that this was forged by the work of magi of all
three orders, and produced pictures showing super-deformed magi casting the
spell.
Chibi-Miyako, acting as announcer, began to introduce the magic users. "He
almost ascended to godhood, but Takhisis stopped him. The coolest mage
Krynn has ever known, here is Raistlin! And from Lodoss, he probably should
have been a warrior, and I think he has elven blood, Slain's Bishouen
apprentice, Cecil! Now, from Monworld, she is still in summoning school,
and her spells often have unintended results, but we need some randomness
in the battle, so here is the kawaii Beginner! Next up, from digimon
adventure, he gave his life to save Tailmon, a popular master of lightning,
and the only kind necromancer in recorded history, here is Wizaamon! And
finally, master of the Hadoken, he casts the spells that makes the peoples
fall down, here is Black Mage! Let the battle begin!"
"I summon the fire giant" Beginner yells, throwing up a card and beginning
the spell. A huge cloud of fire engulfs the arena. Chibi versions of every
chosen child and their digimon partners, along with Wizaamon, Raistlin,
Black Mage, Deedlit, Cecil, and the entirety of the audience facefault.
"The author can't think up a decent ending either, so goodbye" the cast of
the omake says, while waving their hands."
scenes didn't go as well as I liked, and while reading the rewrite is not
necessary if you've read the original, you might want to see these events
handled in a decent way, and there are a couple continuity mistakes(Scenes
I thought I put in but never did, and stuff like that). This should be the
last re-write in this story with actual plot edits though, and quite
possibly the last altogether. Besides, I'm afraid people aren't reading
beyond this chapter because they're scared off. This is a crossover, and
some things will appear not in the normal timeline. I heavily altered what
happened in V-tamer, and some alterations have been made to the adventure
timeline. As Grappleomon in my opinion suits Leo much better then
Panjyamon, Leo took that route of evolution instead. Also, I forgot to
mention this in the first chapter, but the name Fallen Devimon (But not the
creature), was created by Yugure/His Master's Voice, and is used with
permission. And now, chapter 3 (Heavenly light! The daughter of
Ophaniovael.) begins.
"Devimon, you'll pay for this!" Greymon yelled in anger, charging at the
fallen digimon, his rage twisting his very being. "Greymon Shinka! Skull
Greymon". He grew in size, while his skin and helmet fell off. A missile
launcher appeared on his back, while he became one of the biggest digimon
ever seen. Though merely a skeleton, he was incredibly powerful, but once
the power had been used on Devimon, it may very well be turned on the
chosen.
"Aquillamon!"
"Tailmon!"
"Jogress Shinka"
"Sylphimon." Tailmon and Aquillamon fused together, making a humanoid
birdlike warrior. It was wearing a helmet, with birdlike wings and cat
ears. Its body was covered in red and white feathers, like those of the
Aquillamon that had formed a large part of this digimon.
Skull Greymon charged at the demon in full-blown rage. Fallen Devimon
quickly flew upwards while grabbing Patamon(While Takeru looked on
hopelessly), angering Skull Greymon even more, when unable to think
clearly, it leaped at the Nightmare Soldier. Fallen Devimon was not afraid,
and with it's claw outstretched, dove at Skull Greymon. Metal hit bone, but
the claw that killed V-mon could not do the same to Skull Greymon, as
Fallen Devimon's claw was stubbed. Fallen Devimon flew upward, about five
hundred feet in the air, while Skull Greymon shot the missile on its back,
and Sylphimon flew after it in chase.
Sylphimon flew through the cloudy sky at Fallen Devimon. "Static Force!"
Sylphimon yelled, shooting a ball of energy at Fallen Devimon. Quickly, the
Dark Lord adjusted his position, flying slightly to the right to dodge the
attack. On the ground, Skull Greymon's became even angrier, that this
strange digimon had retreated like a coward, and shot the orange missile on
his back. The attack spiraled upwards; until Fallen Devimon caught it in
one of his tentacled demon claws and threw it back down. Running out of
energy, Skull Greymon returned to the form of Agumon.
"Top Gun!" A ball of pink energy formed in Sylphimon's hands, which it
threw at the missile. A huge explosion rocked the air, as both attacks were
destroyed in a flash of red light. "Dual Sonic!" the bird warrior yelled
out, glowing pink and shooting a wave of energy at Fallen Devimon. The wave
zoomed at Fallen Devimon, but Lady Devimon hit it with her spear arm,
absorbing the attack.
Birdramon flew up, the phoenix trying to rescue Patamon from the clutches
of the dark overlord. "Fire Flapping!" Birdramon flapped her wings, while a
flame sped towards Fallen Devimon's tentacle, where Patamon was screaming
in pain. The attack hit, distracting Fallen Devimon enough that Patamon was
let free, and the animal digimon flew down to Takeru.
"You won't kill me like you did my sisters." Lady Devimon said, with much
anger in her voice. But how couldn't she be angry, when this digimon(Or
half of it anyway) was the reason she didn't have a family anymore.
"Darkness Wave!" A swarm of purple bats flew out, speeding right towards
Sylphimon.
"Though I am sorry for what I have done to you, and bear you no ill will,
if you side with Fallen Devimon, you must be stopped." Sylphimon replied
calmly, while a ball of pink energy was being formed in its hand. "Top
Gun!" The ball sped towards Lady Devimon, where her bats devoured it.
"Good-bye, chosen." Devimon said, hatred clear in his voice, and his desire
to drag out the torture as much as possible would not allow him to use an
attack causing immediate death, but this one could cause fatal injury at
least. "Oh, and here is a little parting gift. Metal Smiley Bomb!" Devimon
flew up away from the chosen children enough that he was out of sight,
while dropping a metallic bomb, with a smiling face on it, which proceeded
to shoot at the chosen. However, it would not bring them certain death from
wounds inflicted by it, as Sylphimon flew into a dive, at about a forty-
five degree angle with the path of the bomb. The blast hit, sending
Sylphimon flying hundreds of feet, and changing back, as where the bird
warrior once was, a small puppy and a winged fuzzy ball were now, while
Hawkmon feathers began falling to the ground.
"Why did Devimon just leave like that?" Yamato asked, wondering what could
possibly be the motivation for him fleeing.
"There is no time to explain, quickly, run this way." Leomon ordered,
pointing his finger out, and then running to what appeared to be a random
spot. Pressing a button on his sword, the ground gave way, and a network of
tunnels took its place. Quickly, the ground itself sped to a city of
metal, taking the chosen with them. The adult level digimon returned to
their child state, sensing the battle was over.
Factorial fortress was not only a refugee camp and last line of defense, it
was also a bustling metropolis. At first, merely an abandoned factory stood
in this place overseen by Andromon, but in time around it grew a great
domed city, with that Andromon as its ruler. He programmed many Guardromon
to defend it, and with the allegiance of a mysterious half-feline chosen
and a refugee Grappleomon, created a vast network of digimon, and gave them
each ways to teleport to the underground city. It was this city, this city
of defense against and escape from darkness, which the chosen children and
Leomon arrived in. A guardromon began scanning them, pink light going over
each one of the group in turn. Then, having completed the search, the
Guardromon spoke. "Units Taichi, Agumon, Yamato, Gabumon, Koushirou,
Tentomon, Mimi, Palmon, Sora, Piyomon, Takeru, Patamon, Hikari, Plotmon,
Daisuke, Miyako, Poromon, Iori, Armadimon, and Leomon cleared for entry.
Danger, the Digimon Kaizer and his vile partner Wormmon are among you. I
will destroy them."
"Destruction Grenade!" a missile shot from the hand of Guardromon, aiming
straight at the chosen of kindness. Leomon moved to block the strike. A
vast amount of Guardromon began circling Ken, all stating "The Kaizer has
returned. He will not leave this city alive." In unison, they raised their
arms to attack, and then stopped suddenly. From one of the larger buildings
in Factorial Fortress, an Andromon walked out. This Andromon was a longtime
friend of the chosen children, the one who had fought with them against the
dark masters. This was the Andromon that the chosen children had freed from
the control of evil twice.
"Greetings" the Andromon spoke, his voice very robotic. "What brings you to
this city?"
"We seek safety, Devimon has returned." Leomon responded, growling as he
said Devimon's name.
"Please Andromon, won't you let us stay in the city. Even Ken, the former
Digimon Kaizer, wishes for Devimon's downfall." Hikari said, kindly.
Andromon had been a good friend of hers for some time, , and a fight
between him and Wormmon was the last thing she wanted. Surely Leomon and
the other chosen children would side with Ken, and Andromon would be badly
hurt, or maybe even killed.
"This city was built as a fortress against evil, and if you say Ken has
become a chosen child I will believe you." Andromon said, knowing that
Hikari would not lie about something like this.
"Thank you, Andromon." Hikari said, relief clear in her eyes. The chosen
made their way into a large metal building(Which describes pretty much
everything in Factorial, but there wasn't much detail to add relating to
this particular building), where they could get some rest. The next day,
they would awaken to the reality of war with Fallen Devimon, and try think
up some plan as to how. But for now, they could sleep.
Day turned to night, and back to day, though in the factorial fortress so
deep underground, it was nearly impossible to notice. Before the chosen
awoke, Leomon was paid a visit. His brother, Leo of Folder was the one
paying him said visit. Leo was of the Grappleomon species, and his white
and black armor shone in the artificial light of Factorial. This
Grappleomon was the one in charge of training younger digimon into better
fighters, a very difficult task indeed, especially for someone of such a
stern demeanor. His face had a look of complete seriousness on it, and
appeared cold and uncaring at the same time, accepting whatever came to him
with barely any emotion.
"Hello, my brother." Leo said, his voice almost showing pity. "Do you
actually put your faith in these chosen children? Look at how badly the
other Taichi failed. I don't want you and the others to die like Lord Holy
Angemon did." He said, struggling to keep his stern demeanor as he
mentioned the name of his former ruler. It had been six years since Demon
was nearly killed on Folder, six years since Taichi failed to save Holy
Angemon from death. Leo had some feelings for the archangel, yet he could
not admit it to himself, not until Arca Demon killed Lord Holy Angemon
anyway.
"A chosen child did cause Demon's downfall." Leomon responded, "Even if it
was one of darkness. I believe this group can win, though I am not certain.
I am at least sure it stands a better chance then you, Kuwagamon,
Tyrannomon, and Centarumon. Fallen Devimon defeats perfects just as well as
he defeated adults when he was Devimon. I am sorry, but this plan of yours
will certainly fail." Leomon said, as he had a great deal of faith in the
chosen children. He had fought along side them, and seen how well they
fought. He had believed that their good could stop the evil of the thirteen
lords of darkness, and they had killed eight of them, and banished three
more, though one had returned.
"That, my brother, is where we differ. Had you seen what happened on
Folder, seen the devastation after Demon left, you would realize by now
these children are not our salvation. After the deaths of so many of their
allies, they may have managed to triumph over the Dark Masters, but their
digimon can not reach the levels they previously could, though they could
serve some function as bait. They can not save our world, which is why my
forces must do so on their own. It is always a sad day when one Leomon
draws his sword against another, but if you interfere, that day will come,
and after the tragedy in the Air Dragon village, I can't see why you have
faith in them. Leomon, you are a fool." Leo responded, the Grappleomon
turning around(Much more easily then one would think for a digimon wearing
that much armor) and walking away, knowing that Leomon's blind faith in the
chosen could cost his brother his life.
"The chosen have proven to win even when it seemed impossible. Leo, I am
afraid you underestimate them." Leomon replied, and walked away to check on
how the current plans for Factorial's defense were doing.
The next day, the chosen children awoke to the sound of Guardromon
performing maintenance. "What was that?" Yamato said, rubbing his eyes out.
"A meeting is starting soon. We must meet with the other chosen, so we can
make a plan of action." Gabumon said. "While you were sleeping, Devimon was
probably conquering more and more of the digital world, and we need some
defense and quick. The others are outside the Hagurumon factory." Yamato
ran to the building where he saw Hagurumon being made, Mecha Norimon
programming and building them piece by piece. The other chosen children
were standing around, probably waiting for him to arrive. Quickly, Leomon
came rushing in.
"Taichi, Yamato, Sora, Koushirou, Mimi, Takeru, Hikari, Miyako, Iori, Ken,
Agumon, Gabumon, Piyomon, Tentomon, Palmon, Patamon, Plotmon, Poromon,
Armadimon, Wormmon, I apologize for the interruption." Leomon addressed
each chosen child, along with their digimon partners, looking at each of
them in turn. "For all my life, I have been fighting against evil digimon.
In my baby-2 phase of Nyaramon, my village was being terrorized by a
goblimon. I trained relentlessly, evolved to child, and defeated him. At
that point, I decided to dedicate my life to fighting evil digimon, wanting
no one else to have to suffer. I traveled far and wide, fighting evil,
until I heard reports that the goblimon was back. We battled once more,
each of us evolving during the fight. He became the Ogremon you all know,
while I became the protector of innocent digimon I have gained so much
respect at as. As soon as I was reborn, I trained at a very fast rate, so
fast I could return to my adult phase again. And now, I must to align with
you, not just meeting for the occasional battle and then sacrificing myself
in it, but traveling with you and fighting all the battles you are in. Will
you allow me to join?" Leomon spoke, recalling the events of his past, and
pledging to help them. A look of shock crossed Mimi's eye as Leomon
recounted his past, and then an extreme look of pity. Excitement replaced
that look, when Leomon said that he would be coming along though.
"I am glad you are one of us." Taichi replied, accepting Leomon as a member
of the party. The moment of Leomon's joining was interrupted, as Koushirou
began to assess the situation.
"At the moment, we only have 10 warriors. Jou has not arrived in this
world, V-mon is dead, and Takeru losing hope prevents Patamon from
evolving." Thankfully, Leomon, you are fighting with us. Only one digimon
can even reach the perfect level. We will need another. Without it, the
odds of us winning are about 2,451,786 to 3 against. Our spies have
reported that Devimon has managed to take the crest of kindness, after it
was abandoned in the ruins of your base. We must win it back. But, I don't
think we should send all of us on this one mission. Ken should go, as it is
his crest, and the power of it may prove needed in the end."
"Hikari and Miyako's digimon can reach the perfect level during a jogress.
As much as I hate to say it, I fear Skull Greymon will be needed as well,
and we can only hope he will run out of energy before he turns on us, so I
shall go. After what happened at Air Dragon village, I think we will need
a digimon that can attack many at once, and Togemon can do so best of us,
and a precise shot doesn't hurt, so Leomon will round out the group. I
think we will need all five of you for this mission, but if any more were
to come, if a battle elsewhere sprang up, we wouldn't be capable of doing a
thing about it." Taichi spoke, saddened as he prepared to lead them into
battle, and fearful that if he failed with this, Hikari and the others
would be killed, and he would be to blame. "Devimon is far stronger then
he was before, and I can not guarantee anyone's safety. If any of you
don't want to come, I understand."
The journey was a long one, and night began to fall without anything
important happening, Infinity Mountain seeming as far away as ever. Worn
down by exhaustion, and having less endurance then most people to begin
with, the chosen of purity began to complain. To make matters worse, while
the other humans had digimon that they could use for transportation,
Togemon didn't have the speed necessary, and would even slow them down a
bit. "I'm tired, and all this walking is really hurting my feet. Could we
take a break?" Mimi asked, the fatigue overwhelming her.
"We're approaching Devimon's lair, so it is crucial to sneak in without our
presence being known. When we try to go to sleep, it will take some effort
to find somewhere to do so without being detected, and if we were to take
the time to take a break, it would give Devimon's forces some time to
launch a sneak attack on us, so it can't be done." Taichi explained, while
Mimi looked downwards sadly.
"Mimi, I could carry you." Leomon offered, not wanting Mimi to get so worn
out. He rarely carried others, but Mimi seemed to need his help. The long
journeys on foot through the digital world had never been easy for her, and
with so little time to rest, it seemed to be getting even worse. Mimi
nodded her head, and her eyes got a very dreamy look in an exaggerated
anime expression. "Leomon, you're so heroic, and such a powerful warrior as
well." Mimi thought as Leomon made the offer, and began to recall the Metal
Etemon incident from so long ago.
And with that the journey continued, to the mountain of darkness, the lair
of Devimon, and despite their efforts, they would prove unable to sneak in
completely unnoticed. It wouldn't be long before Devimon sent his minions
to block their way to Infinity. But even the chosen children must sleep,
but the child of light was too troubled to do so, and as the new war began,
the source of her powers proved to trouble her a good bit, as did the
thought that she may need to use them once more.
While the others were sleeping, Hikari and Tailmon had wandered off, Hikari
deep in thought. "What are you thinking about?" Tailmon asked, though she
had a good idea of what was troubling her.
"My ancestry." Hikari said, worried about the part of her past she could
accept in her first adventure, but could handle less and less as she grew.
"You know, me not even being fully human, but the daughter of Ophaniovael,
a legend among the higher beings. I'm just not sure if I can be worthy of
her legacy, and I feel like it's slipping away from me."
Ophaniovael was an Ophanimon, and a legend among them. Rumor had it that
she had not come from the Tailmon-Angewomon line like most of her species,
and there were reports among the few that ever saw her face that it did not
have the elven appearance so many angel digimon did. A legendary warrior
of heaven, said to have banished the Demon from behind the wall of fire to
the dark realm so long ago, but even with her amazing power, she was still
killed by the injuries received during combat. It had been said that
Ophaniovael had fallen in love with one of the original chosen who had been
summoned to stop that Demon so long ago, and that Hikari, chosen of light
from the group faced with the struggles against Vamdemon and the Dark
Masters, among others, was the offspring of that union. Hikari had many
light abilities from this, but she was beginning to reject her origins and
use her power less, out of a desire to be normal, and fearing Dagomon would
.notice this and come for her again. It also exhausted her terribly to use
this light, as she was half-human, and humans can not channel great powers
nearly as well as digimon.. Though she was not truly related to Taichi, the
digimon she was entrusted to knew that she had to be protected from the
great evils she would face, and knowing Taichi would be a loyal protector,
she was brought into the Yagami family, but through manipulation of memory
none of them knew the truth, at least for some time. Of course, knowing
the impact the knowledge she was not a Yagami would have, Dagomon had
revealed it to her during the years between this adventure and the one long
before against Belial Vamdemon, and she managed to receive conformation
from Tailmon, though she had long since suspected there was something
unusual about her ancestry.
But before she managed to respond to Hikari's concerns, Tailmon's ears
perked up sensing an attack. "We've been found. Three Airdramon and a
Devidramon are approaching, we must prepare." Tailmon informed Hikari, not
seeming surprised at all by the attack, though some surprise came as she
said Devidramon. She was wondering why a Devidramon, a species which was so
weak away from areas of darkness and other strong Nightmare Soldiers, would
be leading an attack squad. The bearer of light and her digimon ran back to
the trees hiding the other chosen in hopes of waking them to fight off the
attack.
"We're under attack! A devidramon is coming!" Hikari yelled in an effort to
wake the others, but it did not seem so easy.
"Cat Kick!" A swift blow to the tail woke Hawkmon, who promptly alerted
the others to prepare for battle, and having not had much time to sleep to
begin with, they were swiftly able to evolve without wasting much time
waking up.
"Shouldn't we be attacking the Airdramon instead?" Hikari asked.
"Agumon Shinka, Greymon!" Agumon yelled out, transforming into an orange
horned carnosaur digimon, and growling very loudly as he prepared for
battle.
"Wormmon Shinka, Stingmon!" The larva digimon spoke, evolving into a green
humanoid beetle digimon.
"Palmon Shinka, Togemon!" Palmon said, and a mobile cactus digimon appeared
where the flowering plant once stood.
Greymon charged, rushing towards the Airdramon. The chosen children made
haste to what would soon be the scene of battle, about three hundred feet
away. Tailmon and Leomon both heard a small burst of wind, like it was
coming from something thrown. Greymon suddenly fell, three black shuriken
in his back, and then returned to his child form of Agumon.
"What happened?" Taichi asked to no one in particular, as clueless about
why Greymon fell as the rest of them.
"Who heard that?" Tailmon said, her ears perking up again, in preparation
for another attack.
"That was definitely from a thrown weapon." Leomon stated, confused. "But
no Airdramon or Devidramon could to that. Airdramon don't have anything to
throw it with, and a Devidramon's arms aren't well-developed enough.
Something else is here."
"Take this, Prickly Bang!" Togemon yelled, spraying needles in all
directions, expertly dodged by the enemies. Soon, she would find herself
cut down. Three black shuriken stuck in her back, Tailmon and Leomon
hearing the wave of wind, and Togemon returned to being Palmon once more,
just as Greymon had been taken down so recently. However, the shock was
interrupted of the sudden attacks, as Devidramon took flight. With speed
unmatched by elf or dwarf or mortal man(And a flight speed record as well
for low-level dragons), Devidramon flew over to Mimi, claw outstretched.
Leomon could not let Mimi be killed. He would not let any chosen die, the
world may depend on their survival. Also, he cared greatly for Mimi, and
would not let Devidramon kill her. He pounced, and drew his sword, quick as
a cheetah while sprinting on fire and strapped to the end of a spaceship-
launching rocket. Sword hit claw, but an adult level digimon would prove to
be no match for the perfect, though who knew that Devidramon's level was
perfect at the time? The sheer force of the impact proved devastating, as
Leomon was thrown back approximately two hundred twenty nine feet, landing
unconscious and his sword knocked into the ground nearby.
"What is going on?" Ken asked, as confused as the rest of them. "When away
from an area of evil, Devidramon are very weak for adult-level digimon,
though nothing comparable to filth digimon or Bakemon. How could Leomon, a
great warrior at the adult level, lose so easily?"
Hikari did not know any more then the others about Devidramon. She did not
like to use her magic, but her friends were in trouble. She had tried to
separate her celestial heritage from herself, not having cast a single
spell during her previous digimon adventure. But she had no choice. If she
didn't, Tailmon, Taichi, and the others would die. With that thought, she
began glowing white, and cast a spell to find out what was going on with
that Devidramon. "That is no ordinary Devidramon. It is at the perfect
level." She informed the others.
A beam of light shot from her hands at Devidramon, imprisoning it in a ball
of bright light, painful to the dragon's dark heart. "Devidramon will not
continue to fight without his forces. The Airdramon must be freed, and
quickly" Hikari said, knowing her strength would soon give out. Then she
fell unconscious exhausted by the use of her magical power, as humans can't
channel that much magic without becoming exhausted.
Quickly, three shuriken came, speeding rapidly towards Tailmon. However,
Tailmon had heard the last attack and had suspected what was happening.
Because of this, she was able to hold out her gloved claw to try to catch
them, and easily did just that. With three quick flicks of the wrist,
throwing stars zoomed towards the group of Airdramon, one at each of them.
One of them flew up and dodged the blade. Another flapped its wings to
knock it down with a powerful gust. However, the third one was not avoided,
as neither Airdramon nor Igamon saw the star coming. The ninja digimon
could not defend itself, and let out a high pitched scream, falling off
it's dragon mount, until it saw no more.
"That sounded like an Igamon." Hawkmon commented, as Miyako held out the
digimental of purity.
"Digimental Up!" Miyako yelled, activating the evolution.
"Hawkmon, Armor Shinka, Shurimon!" Hawkmon merged with the digimental of
purity. Where once a bipedal bird stood, a humanoid warrior took its place.
It wore long white robes, and had a mask over its face. Long leaves
materialized one on each arm acting as arm-guards. The hands and feet were
replaced by blue shuriken, attached by a green cord to the limbs. Also, a
giant shuriken materialized on its back.
"Igamon are riding the Airdramon. They used darkness to conceal themselves,
but I don't need light to see those deceptive digimon. Each one, Airdramon
and Igamon alike, has a black gear." Shurimon informed them.
"Autumn Wind!" The giant shuriken on Shurimon's back was thrown and its
four blue blades spun through the air. The shuriken was thrown perfectly
with so much expertise that it smashed the black gears of all three
Airdramon in one shot. The Airdramon angered by their dark riders, spun
around in a blue cyclone, ejecting the Igamon and knocking them
unconscious. The holy prison that held Devidramon gave way, and the demon
dragon bravely retreated, flapping its giant wings and flying back up to
Devimon's lair. Even when unconscious the Igamon still were too hard to see
at night, so they would manage to return to Devimon once they woke, and
after the Airdramon gave a gesture for thanks, they flew towards factorial
fortress, as the chosen informed them that their former home had been
completely destroyed, and they would have to hide from Devimon, else he
would enslave them again.
At the lair of Fallen Devimon, on Infinity Mountain, Devidramon flew in,
his wings folded behind him and his tail between his legs. "Lord Devimon, I
failed." He said, apologetic for his failure and fearing what would come.
"What!" Fallen Devimon said, his look a mix of confusion and fury. "How
could a perfect and six adults lose to such a weak force. Especially
considering our stealth tactics should have taken out two or three of them"
"It's Hikari. She trapped me for minutes, while the others fought very
well, and Tailmon found out Igamon's stealth tactics. Some sort of holy
barrier, and considering how young she is combined with her immense holy
power, I suspect she may be the daughter of Ophaniovael." Fallen Devimon's
red eyes shuddered, a look of fear in them eyes, until he realized that
Hikari's other half was human, and if Demon could kill Ophaniovael herself,
then he was more then strong enough to kill Ophaniovael's half-breed
daughter.
"So, Ophaniovael's daughter was not mere legend. Still, I have more then
enough strength to slay her.
Meanwhile, Takeru looked on back at Factorial Fortress. He was useless like
this and he couldn't let Devimon win, the consequences of that were to
great. He knew it was impossible to stop him, but maybe if he regained his
hope he could at least delay him, and give the humans and digimon an extra
day or so before being plunged into darkness. "Patamon, Let's go. I must
regain my hope," Takeru said, with as little emotion as Orson of Record of
Lodoss War.
"Takeru, wait" Sora said, running out of the building that housed her in
factorial fortress. "You and Patamon are helpless right now. If you leave,
Devimon will just kill you both, or worse. I'm going with you." Sora said,
as she cared greatly for Takeru and would not allow him to throw his life
away. Piyomon nodded in agreement. And the four left the gates of Factorial
Fortress, returning to the surface, to fight whatever dark forces would be
sent at them.
"Birdboy2000 still couldn't think up a catchy beginning, so let the Omake
begin." Chibi versions of Takeru and Sora said in unison.
"Now, back on topic, I came here to invite you to the greatest battle you
have ever seen." Chibi-Raistlin said. "A mage duel between myself, Cecil
from the village of Zaxon, on Lodoss, Beginner of Monworld, Wizaamon of
digimon adventure, and Black mage of 8-bit theater (Located at
nuklearpower.com, and please don't ask why such a weird selection of mages
was made, the author's mind is not something you should ever look in to.)."
"Why aren't I taking part?" Chibi-Deedlit asked.
"Because this is for sorcerous magic only." Chibi-Raistlin said, and pulled
out a sign showing an elf shaman, with a circle around it and a diagonal
line through it.
"Why didn't you send Dalamar" Chibi-Miyako asked. An anime sweatdrop
appeared behind each of the others.
"I thought Wizaamon was dead," Tailmon said, wondering what was going on.
"As for the Leomon thing, I took control after Fallen Devimon did that.
Fortunately, there are clerics there to raise him. And Tailmon, a wizard
did it." Chibi-Raistlin said, and produced one of Astinus's books to prove
it. Instantly, Chibi-Raistlin muttered words of magic, and the Super
deformed chosen children appeared in a great arena of magical proportions.
Chibi-Raistlin explained that this was forged by the work of magi of all
three orders, and produced pictures showing super-deformed magi casting the
spell.
Chibi-Miyako, acting as announcer, began to introduce the magic users. "He
almost ascended to godhood, but Takhisis stopped him. The coolest mage
Krynn has ever known, here is Raistlin! And from Lodoss, he probably should
have been a warrior, and I think he has elven blood, Slain's Bishouen
apprentice, Cecil! Now, from Monworld, she is still in summoning school,
and her spells often have unintended results, but we need some randomness
in the battle, so here is the kawaii Beginner! Next up, from digimon
adventure, he gave his life to save Tailmon, a popular master of lightning,
and the only kind necromancer in recorded history, here is Wizaamon! And
finally, master of the Hadoken, he casts the spells that makes the peoples
fall down, here is Black Mage! Let the battle begin!"
"I summon the fire giant" Beginner yells, throwing up a card and beginning
the spell. A huge cloud of fire engulfs the arena. Chibi versions of every
chosen child and their digimon partners, along with Wizaamon, Raistlin,
Black Mage, Deedlit, Cecil, and the entirety of the audience facefault.
"The author can't think up a decent ending either, so goodbye" the cast of
the omake says, while waving their hands."
