Episode 04 " Battle of the Beast, Pt. 1 "

Synopsis: Hi guys, this is Mimi. Last time, Willis wanted to learn about Net Digivolution, so he used Davis' D-3 to find out the properties. Meanwhile, the N.A. Omega's servant, Gekomon, went to the secret base to find out how the digimon could net digivolve, so they could make the digital barrier stronger. Gekomon was almost scot free, until he was found out by Willis. Willis, Mimi and Davis chased after him with their digimon, and almost stopped him, until another one of the Omega's soldiers came. It was a Tortomon, and he almost defeated us until I couldn't take it anymore. The Crest of Sincerity appeared on my digivice, and it transformed into a D-3! And Palmon net digivolved! I'd like for you to meet Woodmon!!!

It was a dark, stormy night in the city of New York, Manhattan. Grey clouds covered the sky, with the darkness showing through. The digital barrier was still showing through, but now it was black. And in the city, standing atop a building, was the North American Omega. He looked down upon the ruins of a once thriving city, and smiled upon the shattered glass, of all the dead human carcasses, lying there, holding broken digivices.

"In just a few more hours, this little brigade will cease, for those digidestind have not suffered the fury of the Omega," the Omega said. He smiled, thinking about destroying digimon, uploading their data and taking more humans as his slaves, or else killing them…

Meanwhile, in the depths of the Digi-Resistance headquarters, Davis was having a bad night's sleep. He tossed and turned in bed, remembering destruction that the Digimon Overlord caused. He also saw buildings explode, and people die, and he saw one face, one digimonic face laughing in all this horror. Sweat formed on his face. He couldn't let this happen, but he was. And he was powerless…

In Davis' bedroom, the nightmare that Davis had woke Veemon up. He glanced at his partner, and a concerned look formed on his face when he saw his friend in pain. He moved over on the bed near Davis and started to shake him. "Wake up Davis, wake up!" Veemon exclaimed, rocking Davis back and forth. It was no use. "Come on Davis, wake uuuupppppppppp!!!!!!!!" Veemon said, screaming into Davis' ear. The shouting turned into soundwaves, and those soundwaves went into one of Davis' ear. It then bounced off of his eardrum, and caused the brain to totally awaken.

"Dahhhhhh!!!!!!! Ow Veemon, what was that for?" Davis asked, gripping his ears with his hands.

"I'm sorry Davis, but you looked like you were having a nightmare. I just wanted to end the pain for you. I don't like it when you're in pain," Veemon said. Davis smiled at his digimon partner.

"Thanks for being concerned buddy," Davis said. He then remembered the dream that he just had. It was horrible. Absolutely horrible.

"Anyways Davis, what was the dream about?" Veemon asked, being curious.

"It was terrible Veemon. I dreamed that I relived the destruction of the Digimon Overlord. I saw people die, digimon being ripped into data, and I heard this demonic laughter, this very evil laugh. It sounds familiar, but I can't put my finger on it…" Davis said, scratching his chin.

"Well maybe it'll come to you later. Right now, we need to go back to sleep, so we'll have enough rest for the day ahead," Veemon said. Davis nodded, and pet his partner on the head.

"You're right Veemon. Goodnight," Davis said, laying back down in bed, snoozing back to sleep.

"Goodnight Davis…" Veemon said, also laying back in bed, falling back to sleep, not knowing that his words truly had meaning…

The sun arose in the east, it's rays shining through the crumpled buildings of Manhattan. The light was shining on the battered streets, taking out the night shade, and heating the concrete. For the Digi-Resistance, it was just another day of waking up, and doing their job. But what they didn't know was that today would be a day of reckoning.

"*Sigh* Good Morning Willis," Mimi yawned, as she and Palmon entered the control room. Willis was already logging onto the Net, tracking renegade digimon trying to bio-merge into the Real World.

"Good Morning Mimi. Did you get enough rest?" Willis asked, his eyes concentrated on the console monitor.

"Yeah, but I feel like I haven't had enough," Mimi said, pulling up a chair to sit down in. Palmon then sat down beside her. Mimi also logged onto the Net, and kept watch of the renegade digimon.

"Good Morning guys," Davis said, as he and Veemon emerged into the computer room. Davis rubbed his eyes as the morning jitters still had him in their grasp.

"Good Morning Davis," Terriermon said, as he and Lopmon were perched upon Willis' shoulder. Davis just smiled lightly before taking a seat on the right side of the room, with Veemon alongside him. Just then, ten human Digi-Resistance soldiers entered the room, wearing their white uniforms with bazookas, and with their digimon beside them. This group of ten all had Gomamon as their digimon partner.

"Sir, we're ready for instruction!!!" one of the soldiers replied, saluting Willis. Willis looked up, and then got out of his seat.

"Oh, yeah. I have a new assignment for you Team Gomamon. Today, go to Staten Island. There has been recent bio-merging activity there, and I need you to handle it," Willis instructed.

"Yes sir!!!!!" the men saluted Willis. Willis bowed towards them.

"You may go. Good luck and may God be with you," Willis said. The men then nodded, before leaving the premise.

"I didn't know you were a general Willis," Davis said.

"Well Davis, you never asked. After all, Mimi and I did find the Digi-Resistance, so we run it. Basically, I do all the military work, while Mimi handles giving the soldiers assignments and strange readings," Willis said.

"Speaking of readings Willis, there is a high reading at Staten Island," Mimi said, pointing her finger at the monitor. On her computer screen, there was a map of New York City. Out a little east of Manhattan Island was Staten Island, and there was a huge red dot with black outline, with a number traced with it.

"What's that?" Davis asked.

"Oh no, that reading's off the chart. It must be the Omega," Willis said. Just then, a radio signal came through.

"General Willis….he's too powerful…must evacuate…ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!" the leader of another team said. This time it was Team Agumon.

"No!!!! We lost another team! When will this ever stop?!!!" Willis replied in anger. He was wearing a headset, where he could radio signals from his soldiers. At hearing this, he threw the headset off of his head and hurled it onto the console.

"Willis, calm down! You're not the only one who wishes that the war is over!!!" Mimi hollered. She put a comforting hand on Willis' shoulder. Willis sighed tiredly.

"Thanks for the support Mimi. But what can we do? We don't have an advantage against the Omega. He's an Ultimate level digimon for christ sake. How can we stop a digimon that powerful?" Willis replied. He's right. How can we? Mimi thought in her head. She then smiled, as an idea popped into her head.

"What about Net Digivolution Willis? Maybe that could help us defeat him! After all, Davis and I are the only digidestind who can have our digimon digivolve to Champion. Maybe together, the two can over-power the Omega," Mimi suggested.

"Maybe. But don't you remember Mimi, the only time that Palmon and Veemon net digivolved was when you two were in very dangerous situations," Willis said, reminding Mimi of how Palmon and Veemon net digivolved for the first time.

"Okay, you have a point there. But this is a very dangerous situation here. That Omega might destroy who knows what," Mimi said.

"Uh guys, can I ask you a question?" Davis asked, interrupting the argument Willis and Mimi were having.

"WHAT?!" Mimi and Willis asked, furious at Davis for interrupting them.

"Isn't the Statue of Liberty at Staten Island?" Davis asked. Mimi and Willis looked at each other, and then realized in shock of what the Omega might do.

"Oh no, he's right! How could I forget that the Statue of Liberty's stationed there? What an idiot I am," Willis said.

"Who cares who is the idiot right now? If we don't stop it, the Omega might destroy one of the World's most historic landmarks!!!" Mimi exclaimed.

"Right. We should go and stop that guy, before he causes anymore damage," Davis replied.

"Okay then. Willis, Davis and I will go. We're the only ones who can stop him right now. And if we don't come back, please try to keep on going," Mimi said.

"I'll try. Be careful you two," Willis said. Mimi and Davis nodded before getting up from their chairs. Their digimon followed suit, and the digidestind with their digimon left the room, heading for immediate chaos. Willis never took his eyes off of them as they left, seeing their retreating backs.

I just hope they don't get killed out there…

"So Mimi, how are we going to get to Staten Island? It is a long way from here," Davis said. Mimi thought on that for a moment.

"We'll use a car of course," Mimi answered. Mimi and Davis were in a different part of the base. They were in front of a huge steel door. On the right side was a security keypad. Mimi then keyed in four numbers, 5431 into the computer.

"Access confirmed," the computer replied. Mimi and Davis stepped back as the steel door raised up, revealing a room full of all kinds of cars. You had your sports utility vehicles, you had your trucks, vans, motorcycles, and your sports cars.

"Wow Mimi, you have a lot of nice cars. Where did you get all of these?" Davis asked.

"Well, when the Digi-Resistance was formed, Willis and I found all the cars we could and repaired them. We even encased them with a strong titanium shell, but they're still as fast as ever. We'll be going in the Prowler," Mimi said, walking toward a little yellow car. It resembled the Model T Ford, except, the wheels in the front were small. Mimi got in the driver's side while Davis got in the passengers. Palmon and Veemon got in the back seat.

"Are you buckled up?" Mimi asked, already strapped in with her hands on the steering wheel.

"Yep," Davis, Palmon and Veemon replied as Mimi heard the click of their seat-belts fasten.

"Then let's go!!!" Mimi hollered, igniting the engine by turning the key. The engine revved up, and Mimi put the car in reverse, going back. She then turned left, passed other cars and kept on going straight until she reached a back door. On the console of the car, where the CD Player and everything else was, there was a little black button. Mimi pushed it, and the door opened up, having an incline go up to the street. Mimi put the car in reverse again, and backed up a little bit.

"Mimi, what are you doing?" Davis asked nervously, sweat starting to form on his forehead.

"I'm going to burn rubber," Mimi said excitedly, as she again revved up the engine. She then put the car back in a regular gear, and then put her foot on the gas pedal. In one final press, the car moved forward at an acclerating speed, driving up the little incline and emerging onto the street. The hidden door behind them and closed, and Mimi turned right as she made the car go as fast as she possibly could.

God, I wish Mimi wouldn't drive so fast, I think I'm going to throw up, Davis thought, his teeth chattering and his cheeks flowing in the wind. "Slow down Mimi!!!!" Davis hollered.

"Nani?" Mimi asked. At the speed she was going, the wind was flying by their face, so it was hard for Mimi to hear Davis talk.

"I said slow down!!!!!" Davis hollered into her ear. Mimi cringed, and then slowed down on the gas.

"God Davis, you didn't have to yell so loud," Mimi complained, as she turned right towards the bay.

"Well Mimi, I wouldn't of had to yell if you heard me the first time," Davis complained back. The argument then ended in silence as the Prowler was heading toward the bay. Mimi then put on the break as the car reached the harbor. Luckily, nearby there was a speedboat, and the key was still in it.

"Alright, a ride to Staten Island," Mimi smiled. She and Palmon boarded the boat, as well as Davis and Veemon. The waves were flowing up and down, as the wooden decks were worn out. There were also dead carcasses and glass everywhere. Mimi was about to get in the driver's seat when Davis stopped her.

"Uh uh. This time I'm driving Mimi," Davis said. Mimi pouted as she sat beside him.

"Oh fine. Do you even know how to drive a speedboat?" Mimi asked, having one eye opened, glancing at Davis.

"Yeah. It's like driving a car right?" Davis asked, as he turned the key, turning on the engine in the boat.

"Whatever," Mimi mumbled. Davis then backed the boat out, before turning it in a 180 motion, having it point towards Staten Island. He then put on the gas as the boat jerked forward, sailing towards the island. The wind picked up, flowing by their face, uplifting their hair. The wind felt good on a hot day like this.

"Wow Davis, you drive pretty well," Mimi stated as the two were halfway there. Palmon and Veemon were talking about other things in the back seat.

"Why arigato Mimi. It's funny, since this is my first time driving," Davis said nervously. The two continued talking, not knowing they were being watched…

High above the ground on the Statue of Liberty was none other than the North American Omega himself. He was scouting the area, knowing that other digidestind would come and try to stop him. All over the Statue of Liberty was dead human soldiers, and destroyed bazookas. The Omega had killed all the digimon and simply absorbed their data, even becoming more stronger than ever. If he absorbed enough data, then maybe the Overlord would allow him to digivolve to Mega…

The Omega looked to the left, and saw the speedboat with Davis and the others on it. He smirked as he saw them making their way towards shore, and an idea came to exist within his mind. "Here they come. Foolish digidestind, can't you see that you cannot win against me? For I am an Omega Seven, and I will crush you all!!! And just to make sure they won't get to shore, I'll send my henchmen after them." The Omega closed his eyes, and concentrated on his telepathy. His thoughts were then concentrated into soundwaves, and in his thoughts, the Omega told his henchmen to attack the speedboat. The soundwaves traveled through the air until it hit the water, alerting his underwater soldiers to attack. And then, without warning, the ten soldiers emerged from the water.

"What? He has backup?!" Mimi replied, astonished. This was one thing she didn't expect to happen. The ten soldiers were a group of Raremon.

"Oh great, a group of Raremon, just what I need," Davis replied. He got out his D-3, and was just about to tell Veemon to handle it when Mimi grabbed his arm.

"No Davis, I'll handle it. Just concentrate on getting us to shore," Mimi stated. Davis nodded, and clipped his D-3 back to his pants.

"Palmon, get to the front of the boat!!!" Mimi hollered. Palmon unfastened herself from the back and walked toward the front. She got on top, between Mimi and Davis so the two could see where they were going. Mimi then got out her D-3 with the lime green lens. "Here goes Palmon!!!! Get them!!!" Mimi pointed her D-3 towards Palmon. The D-3 glowed, and lime green beam emerged from the LCD screen, and traveled into Palmon. Palmon then lit up, as binary data integrated into her body.

"NET DIGIVOLUTION…"

"Palmon net digivolve to Woodmon!!!"

"Woody Smasher!!!!" Woodmon shouted, shooting wooden darts at the Raremon. It hit them as the boat passed by, destroying them one by one. She destroyed one after another, until only five remained. They then created a chain, stretching across really wide. Davis stopped the boat.

"What do we do now Mimi? We can't drive past them or else we'll be knocked off," Davis reasoned. Mimi was thinking up the best possible idea to get past them as she could. But, she wasn't coming up with anything. Then, she felt a sprinkle of rain touch her face.

"Wait a minute Davis. Woodmon, aim your Woody Smasher above the Raremon!!!!" Mimi hollered. Woodmon aimed her arms as high as she could, before gaining up energy to release the wooden darts.

"Woody Smasher!!!" Woodmon fired her darts rapidly, having them fly real high, about one-hundred feet above the Raremon. The Raremon didn't know what was going on, and laughed at them.

"Hah, your aim is terrible," one of them said.

"You think so huh? Just look up," Woodmon said, grinning. The Raremon looked up, and were each splintered with hundreds of wooden darts, all dissolving into data. Woodmon then dedigivolved back to Palmon and fastened herself back into the boat with Veemon.

"That was great Palmon, arigato," Mimi stated, looking back and smiling at her digimon partner.

"Your welcome Mimi. Now, let's get to Staten Island!!!" Palmon hollered.

"Right General Palmon!!!" Davis joked, putting the gas on full throtle. The boat then roared back to life as it ripped through the water, making its way toward the island.

Meanwhile, back atop the Statue, the Omega was furious. Now, Mimi had control of Net Digivolution. What if Davis got control of it too? It then could mean the end for him, meaning the Americans would be free to roam within the land again, with no tyrant digimon commanding them to do what he wanted them to do. He had to stop these digidestind now.

The boat reared to aclose as Davis and Mimi finally reached a platform. Davis hurled the anchor into the water, and then with Mimi and Palmon's help, he and Veemon got off the boat. The four then walked onto the shore of Staten Island, and had a looksee. Everything around was destroyed. Burned trees, shattered glass, the same thing as usual. But, the Statue of Liberty wasn't touched. It still stood perfectly within its place.

"Well, at least the statue is still in perfect condition," Davis replied, looking up at the green beauty. Mimi and Palmon hummed, agreeing to what Davis said.

"So Mimi, what are we going to do now?" Veemon asked, wondering what they would do next. After all, it seemed like Mimi was in charge.

"Well Veemon, we are going to the top. As we reached shore, I noticed something moving up there. It might be the Omega," Mimi theorized. Davis and Veemon nodded, and then the four walked their way to the front of the statue. They then entered the building, in the lobby. Davis then saw a set of stairs. He stopped and sighed tiredly.

"You mean we have to walk up all those steps? That'll take forever!!!" Davis complained.

"No. Don't you know that the Statue of Liberty has an elevator? Geez, what an idiot…" Mimi mumbled to herself. Davis didn't catch the last part.

"Oh, no. I always slept away in History class," Davis said.

"Typical Davis," Palmon said. Mimi then pushed a button, and the elevator doors opened. The four stepped inside, and the doors slammed shut. Mimi then pushed "Top Floor" and the elevator hummed as it started to ascend up the building.

Ready or not Omega, here we come…

"Where did those pests go?" the Omega asked, walking around the crown of the statue. He didn't see them go in, and didn't know that the digidestind were on their way up. He was getting slightly scared. If they attacked him, and they both could get their digimon to net digivolve, then it might be hard for the Omega. But he was reminded of how many digimon he killed. Of all the data he absorbed. He then smiled, knowing even if the digimon could digivolve, they still wouldn't be a match for him. But he was still scared.

The elevator bell rang as it approached the top floor. The doors opened, and Mimi and Davis stepped out, with their digimon alongside them. The wind was a lot tougher up here, and it was colder as well. Mimi and Davis slightly shivered as they looked around. They were hundreds of feet above ground!!!

"I wonder where the Omega is," Veemon asked, psyched up to fight. Davis shrugged as he looked around, trying to spot a digimon in the surrounding area. He found none.

"I don't Veemon. I just hope we find him before he finds us," Davis replied, unclipping his D-3 from his belt strap, ready to get Veemon to digivolve at any moment. Mimi looked around, and saw something out of the corner of her eye. As soon as she saw it, it disappeared.

"I think I'm seeing things," Mimi replied, shaking her head furiously. The Omega smiled as he flew through the air silently. He then quietly landed behind Davis. Davis thought he heard something too.

"Did you hear something Mimi?" Davis looked around nervously, not turning his head to look behind him. For if he did, he would see the Omega.

"No. I guess the wind and atmosphere up here can get to you," Mimi said. She and Davis stepped forward, and her foot slipped. "AHHHHHHH!!!!!" She slipped, and was about to slip off, when someone's hands interlaced with hers, pulling her back a few feet. She looked up. It was Davis.

"Thank…you…Davis…" she huffed tiredly, her heart beating at like a thousand miles an hour.

"You're…welcome…Mi..mi.." Davis puffed. They didn't notice that something was crepping up behind them.

"Here goes nothing…Yuh!!!!!!!" a skeleton arm swung forward. Veemon saw it, and pushed Davis out of the way in time, as the arm slowly hit the ground, creating a deep crack within the Statue of Liberty's head.

"Ughhhh!!!! What was that?" Davis asked, scared out of his wits.

"Look…behind…you…" Mimi said frightenly. Davis nervously turned his head around, and screamed when he saw what was behind him.

"Well well well, isn't it the digidestind. I feel something different in you. Ah, I know what it is. You're the Chosen aren't you? Well, your chosen days are up, for I will stop you," the Omega said, his green eyes gleaming in the shadows.

"You wanna bet? And if you're so powerful, then why don't you step out of that rock of a hiding place?" Palmon challenged.

"Very well then. Prepare to die," the Omega said, as he jumped out of the shadows. He flew through the air, before landing in front of the digidestind. Mimi and Davis nervously looked up and down him, scared. They didn't count on seeing this creature, again.

"It's Skull….Skull…Skull…" Mimi trailed off, too scared to finish the Omega's name.

"Tsk, tsk, you almost had it digidestind. My name, is SkullGreymon. And it's time, to die…"

So, the North American Omega has been revealed as SkullGreymon! What chance do Davis and Mimi have against a Virus Ultimate? Will they destroy him, or will he destroy them? Find out next time on Digimon: Digital Monsters!!!

Well, that's the end of Episode 04. I bet you thought it might've been Kimeramon for a moment. But it wasn't. Well, until the next episode, ja ne!!!
