[Cue Theme - "Infinity (Red Zone Mix)"]
[A clear blue sky, a few white clouds floating lazily by. Pan down, past the sun, until the skyline of a city comes into view: San Francisco.]
D I G I T A L M O N S T E R S
[We weave through the skyscrapers, before cutting to the streets below, a crowded sidewalk. A shadow quickly moves over them. Cut again to the skyline, then zoom into the top of the TransAmerica Building (the large triangular building), where a figure stands with its arms crossed: Aero Veedramon.]
[Cut to a red background, a silver haired person turns left to face the camera, Ira Caraway, before fading away. Fal Michael fades in and does the same, only turning right, before fading away. David Milliard fades in, turns left to face the camera, then fades away.]
[Aero Veedramon, Seadramon, and Veemon Akira fade in and do the same as their respective partners]
[Cut to a shot of the camera flying over Tokyo bay towards Tokyo itself, the skyline in the distance. Cut again to a shot flying over Shinjuku, looking straight down as we pass over the Tokyo Metropolitan Building]
[Cut to a blue background; Kouyuu Fukushima, "Callie" Stone, and Kaoline Shokai fade in and do the same as the others, followed by their partners: Hitorimon, Psymon, and Dianamon]
[We now see two Earths floating next to each other in front of a star-filled background. Suddenly, two glowing red eyes open, looking somewhat faded, one over each Earth.]
[Now we are above the clouds, in the distance we see a giant blue-ish dragon, Azulongmon. We rapidly zoom in to the face of a person sitting on his head: Caspian Callaway. Cut to what appears to be a desert, another young man, Shadow, stands alone covering his face with one hand (like Heero in the Gundam Wing intro), we pull back just far enough as Antylamon lands in front of him. Cut again, Garfield Magus and Black Agumon are back to back, Garfield firing two handguns and his partner shooting a fireball. Now we are in a field of tall grass, Jajan appears and shoots an arrow at a target, then Celermon walks up behind him.]
[All of the partner Digimon each appear and fire their signature attacks at an unseen enemy (in order: Aero Veedramon, Seadramon, Veemon Akira, Hitorimon, Psymon, Dianamon, Azulongmon, Antylamon, Black Agumon, and Celermon). We then cut to black. The background lightens to reveal seven shadowed figures: Olympidianamon, Metal Seadramon, Ridatsumon Zero, Imperialdramon, Paladinmon, Black WarGreymon and Adeemon.]
[All of the Tamers (Ira, Fal, David, Kouyuu, Callie, Kaoline, Caspian, Shadow, Garfield, and Jajan) walk into view (like the end of Digimon Season 3's intro), followed by their respective partners.]

"Section 5 Strikes"
Wednesday, April 8, 2071
Somewhere Near Fort Aleksandrea…
The fort of Aleksandrea actually looked peaceful at this time of night, despite the great activity that goes on at that fort. It was now apparent; Serpentmon had rejoined their ranks, by the sounds of celebration and cheering going on. The desert Digimon didn't seem to mind, as they rather liked the activity compared to the usual silence.
However, the desert Digimon weren't the only ones that noticed the activity.
"Man, boss, you were right," Impmon said, as he looked toward the fort, "They did get one of their greatest leaders back. I never heard so much cheering from a Dragon Vanguard fort."
As I predicted, Impmon. A lone shadow floated in the sky. The only thing that was noticeable of this Digimon was it's two red eyes. Are the troops set for battle?
"We have 120 Scorpiomon for ground attack and 40 Pteramon for air assault. Plus, we have Garudamon to lead the assault. As per your instructions, sir," Impmon said up to the shadow.
Good, good, you will be very well rewarded then, Impmon. The eyes flared from blood red to crimson. Impmon could barely hold his excitement.
The time has now come to retrieve 'the one'. PYRAMID POWER!!
Across the desert, a large bright light shown over the sandy plains. The signal had been made. Out of the sand, over a hundred bug-like Digimon scurried out of the surface and towards Fort Aleksandrea...
--
Callie woke up slowly. She could feel the presence of someone familiar close by but she couldn't place it. She slowly sat up and looked around. The room was unfamiliar.
"Where am I?" she swung her legs over the side of the bed and put them on the floor. She stood up wobbly and sat back down with a thud.
A door opened and a familiar figure appeared.
"Callie!" Psymon ran over and hugged her partner. "I was so worried about you!"
"I'm sorry, Psymon. I should have listened to you and not run," Callie said petting the little fox's head.
"It's okay, Callie. I'm just glad your okay." Psymon looked up at Callie.
Callie smiled and then stood up again. "Where are we?"
"Fort Aleksandrea," Psymon said, taking her place on the bed.
"How did I get here? The last thing I remembered was being out in the desert..." Callie replied, walking around the room.
"Fal carried you here. There's another guy here too. His name is David. He's paired with a Veemon," Psymon said.
"Fal carried me?" Callie asked, amazed.
Psymon nodded her head. "He didn't seem to mind either."
Callie blushed a deep red. She cleared her throat and changed the subject. "So where are they right now?"
"Both of their Digimon are officers, so they're showing their partners around. I stayed in here mostly. I don't want anyone to recognize me from the reports that I'm sure are going around..." Psymon explained, a little bit quieter than before, "Dinner is in a few minutes so I came back here to see if you were awake yet."
Callie nodded. "I see." She walked over to the foot of the bed where her bag was laying. "Too bad I don't have something a little more impressive to wear…" she lifted out her skirt to her uniform.
Psymon shrugged. "I think you look great no matter what, Callie."
"Come in," Callie called. The Elecmon that had taken care of her earlier opened the door.
"Ah, Miss Kana, your awake. I'm here to show you to dinner."
"Thank you, but how did you know my name?" asked Callie while standing up.
The Elecmon looked at her and replied, "Fal, told me."
"I see…" Callie looked at Psymon. "Coming?"
Psymon looked at her. "Are you kidding? I'm not leaving you alone in this place!" She jumped off the bed and followed Callie and Elecmon out the door.
Callie followed the Elecmon down the hall. Psymon seemed a little sullen and kept her head down as she passed officers. Eventually, the three emerged into a large courtyard.
"I'll take my leave of you now, Miss Kana. If you need anything don't hesitate to ask anyone." And with that, he walked off.
Callie looked around for Fal. "Where is he?"
Psymon looked up at her. "Do you like him or something?"
Callie blushed again. "What!? No, I mean yes, as a friend, I just want to thank him. I mean..."
Psymon giggled, "He's over there." She pointed to where he, Serpentmon, and another Digimon stood. Callie picked her way through the crowd and walked up towards them.
"Fal!" she called.
"Kana?" he looked at her.
Callie stopped at the bottom step and looked at what Fal was wearing. The uniform changed him drastically from what she remembered of him. He looked...
"Callie?" Psymon looked at her.
Callie looked at her Digimon. "Sorry." She walked up the stairs to him. Now she really wished she had something more than her school uniform. She felt slightly awkward around him.
"Hi, Kana."
"Hi, Fal. It's been a long time," she said, smiling.
Fal nodded. "How have you been?"
"I'm fine..." she replied. She kicked at the floor with her shoe.
Psymon rolled her eyes and walked over to Serpentmon.
"Pathetic isn't it," she remarked.
"In a way," the serpentine digimon replied, glancing towards at her, "Yet, it's not so. They're friends from way back." He looked Psymon over carefully.
Psymon swallowed a little, but mustered the courage to look back at him.
"So..." she said.
"Exactly my thoughts," he replied.
--
David looks over his new uniform with a smile; he'd always wanted an excuse to wear a cape. Hastily, he tries to brush his hair somewhat with his hand, before taking off a pair of sunglasses he'd picked up and looking over at Akira.
"So...you didn't say you were a Captain," says David, trying to generate conversation.
"Oh, well I don't really pay much attention to it. I'm still not even sure how I got this far," replies Akira.
"You're the same rank as my father," David says with a smile.
"Your father is a soldier?" asks the Veemon.
"Pilot in the USAF," replies David, "He's a fighter pilot."
"USAF?" asks Akira, a bit confused.
"It stands for 'United States Air Force'," David replies. With a sigh, he looks down at the stone floor. "I wonder if I'll ever get back home…" Akira smiles at him.
"Don't worry about it, I'm sure you will," he says.
"Yeah, you're right, Akira," David answers as the two walk through a door and enter a large courtyard. A short distance away, David spots Fal and Kana, along with Serpentmon and Psymon.
"David!" says Fal as he reaches the group, "This is my friend, Kana. Kana, this is David."
"And I am Panjyamon," says a familiar voice, as the group turns to face the large Digimon, "It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Kana. We will be eating in the Banquet hall, follow me please." Panjyamon turns and most of the group follows. Akira looks up at the star-filled sky for a moment.
"I have a bad feeling..." he whispers, before following.
--
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!" a random Digimon cried out, needlessly. There is another explosion, which toppled Fal, David and Kana over.
Fal landed backwards, on his cape, "Crap, I just got this thing ironed!" he spoke humorlessly.
Just then, a big explosion broke through the wall, revealing a whole squad of Scorpiomon. The Scorpiomon, a large, bony insect Digimon, with two pincers and a stinger, scurried into the fort.
"Fal?" Serpentmon stood ready. He wasn't the type to linger around.
"Right..." Fal whipped out his Digivice and Serpentmon immediately began to glow.
"Serpentmon digivolve to...." the white glow soon grew into a larger glow, "SEADRAMON!" The glow ended to reveal a large, dark blue sea dragon where Serpentmon was a minute ago.
"Ok, Seadramon, you know the drill," Fal said confidently.
"SEA DRAGON BURST!"
Seadramon let out a beam of energy from his mouth, wide enough that it deleted five of the Scorpiomon in one hit. Callie looked at Psymon.
"PSYMON!" she called. Psymon looked at her and nodded.
"I'm ready."
Callie pulled out her digivice. It glowed bright blue.
"PSYMON DIGIVOLVE TO...PSYDRAMON!"
Fal looked at Callie and Psydramon. "You don't have to help, you know."
"They open fire on me and my partner, they're going to pay!" Callie replied.
Psydramon nodded her head. "Point the way! I'm ready!"
"Care to join the party?" asks Fal, turning to David and Akira. But David doesn't respond, his eyes fixed on Seadramon. Before, when Serpentmon digivolved, he hadn't paid much attention. But now....
"I...I don't know...how..." he mumbles, reaching into his pocket, pulling out the digivice and pushing the analyzer button.
Scorpiomon [Glitch]. Champion level Digimon, Ancient Crustacean type.
Attribute: Data
Special Attacks: Tail Blade, Twin Sword
"DAVID!" yells Akira, ramming the human out of the way as one of the Scorpiomon tries to slash at him, knocking them both against the wall. The Scorpiomon tries to stab at them again, but instead is suddenly deleted.
"Don't just sit there! Captain, digivolve, now!" yells Panjyamon, attacking another Scorpiomon.
"I don't know how!" Akira shouts back.
"HE CAN'T DIGIVOLVE!!?" Fal yelled out, shocked.
"What?! Serpentmon and Psymon can, why can't you?!" yells David, confused. Akira stands up and looks at him.
"It's an acquired trait, you need enough experience to do it naturally," he says, just as the wall behind him explodes and another Scorpiomon plows through.
"They're tearing the place apart!" yells David, as the Scorpiomon turns towards him and Akira.
"Stay away from him!" yells Akira, suddenly leaping up and headbutting the symbol on the Digimon's head, sending it reeling. David takes the opening and runs though the hole Scorpiomon had made in the wall, finding that it led back outside.
"Akira, come on!" yells David, as Akira dives out of the way from the Scorpiomon's attack and makes a run for it.
"TAIL BLADE!"
Another Scorpiomon aimed to sting Akira. Fal, jin-tu training kicking in, immediately jumped in front of Akira and grabbed the tail sting with the palms of his hands on either side. Using his strength he held it there, until…
"SEA DRAGON BURST!"
Seadramon let out the blue beam and immediately deleted the Scorpiomon.
"Nice timing," Fal thanked his Digimon.
"Thanks!" yells Akira to Fal, turning and running after David, who is already outside.
However, no matter how much Seadramon or Psydramon attacked, Scorpiomon kept pouring into the base. Not intelligent Digimon, as they just poured in and attacked, but there were too many of them for only two champion Digimon to handle. Panjyamon and the Dragon Vanguard Digimon were having just as much trouble dealing with the swarm.
Slowly, the base was starting to get overrun...
--
The City of Machines
What's that light? Hitorimon watches the flickering light on the horizon from atop one of the buildings. It almost looked like flames...
Damn, he's going to ruin everything.
"What!" she gasps, "Commandant! You startled me!" A shadowy figure looks down at Hitorimon grimly.
Still spying on the Digital Khan? If you want to be a useful spy, you will go to that light.
Fort Aleksandrea. An ally is launching an attack. The voice has a tinge of bitterness. Section Five.
"Section Five...? I haven't..." replies Hitorimon, confused.
Only a few know of them. There is an ominous tone to the commandant's voice. But that doesn't matter. Dammit, he's ruining our war game!
Hitorimon just stares at the shadow blankly.
I should complain to the others… And with that, the presence leaves and Hitorimon is alone once again.
--
The battle is going horribly for the Dragon Vanguard, Scorpiomon are everywhere!
Crap, we're screwed! thinks Akira, just as several explosions go off nearby.
"Pteramon!" he yells, as several of the Pterannodon-like Digimon fly past overhead.
"Can't these guys fight back? The base will be captured in a few minutes at this rate!" yells David as three more Scorpiomon appear nearby.
"There are too many of them!" replies Akira, as one of the Scorpiomon rushes towards them, only to get rammed into a wall by a Guardromon. Two other Guardromon, along with a Tankmon, come up from behind the two and open fire on the Scorpiomon. But, nothing is on target as the missiles and tank shells explode around the crustaceans.
Three mobile suits and a tank... thinks David, as the four machine and cyborg-type Digimon slowly start to back away from the Scorpiomon.
"T-they're too strong!" says one of the Guardromon fearfully, as David runs in front the group and glares at the enemy, who's been reinforced by four more Scorpiomon. David then turns to Akira, Tankmon, and the Guardromon.
"Akira, distract the Scorpiomon! You guys in the mobile suits, while they're distracted use your jump jets to get above them and blast them with your missiles!" yells David.
"Hey, who do you think you are?" replies one of the Guardromon, "And we're Guardromon, not mobile-whatevers!"
"Quiet! Do you realize who you're talking too?!" yells Akira.
"No…"
"I am David Milliard, the Digital Khan," says David grimly, "And if you want to live, you'll follow my orders. NOW!"
"Wha-WHAT? YOU'RE the Digital Khan?!" yells Guardromon, as Tankmon turns and starts firing at several Scorpiomon who'd appeared behind them.
"Will you guys stop arguing and help me out here?!" he yells, firing his main cannon.
"You, assist Tankmon," orders David, guessing the Digimon's name, "You two use your boosters to hover over the Scorpiomon over there and let them have it!" Without another word of complaint, the Digimon spring into action. The Guardromon quickly fly above the Scorpiomon and fire their missiles into their faces, ripping the crustaceans' bodies to shreds. David climbs up on Tankmon's head and looks out at the group of six Scorpiomon he is firing at, then hopes playing that Tank Sim his mom got him for Christmas was enough to make this come out right.
"Main Cannon, correction: 10 degrees left. Three round burst, FIRE!" orders David. Tankmon quickly figures out what he's talking about and shoots at the desired enemy, sending the monster flying into a nearby building.
"Damn, these things are tougher than they look...finish it with the Machine Guns!" says David, as the Tankmon pelts the general area with a hail of bullets. Meanwhile, Akira just stands there, feeling a bit useless.
Damn...if I could Digivolve then I could help David and the others! But I can't...I'm so stupid... he thinks.
"I'm USELESS!" yells Akira, kicking at Tankmon's treads.
"Hey, watch it!" says Tankmon, accidentally knocking David to the ground.
"Ow..." he says.
"You okay?" asks Akira, helping up.
"Uh...we're in the middle of a losing battle, under attack by an unknown number of Scorpiomon...what do you think?" asks David.
"Sorry..." replies Akira quietly. Sorry for being so useless...
"Dammit, we need more troops...Akira! Do you know if there are any mobile suits on this base?" asks David, suddenly getting an idea.
"Any what?" the Veemon replies, no clue in the world what he's talking about.
"Mobile suits...they're pilotable robots," explains David.
"Oh! You mean Mekanorimon!" says Akira, finally understanding what he means, "I think so..."
"How far away are they kept?" asks David, as the Pteramon fly over again and fire missiles down, causing large explosions nearby.
"Not far...over there, I think!" says Akira, pointing towards what appeared to be a wrecked hangar.
"Okay, I want you to get over there and see if there are any other Digimon there. If there are, have them pilot any of the Mekanorimon still there, you will be commander of that team," orders David.
"Yes sir!" replies Akira with a smirk, saluting and running off.
--
A squad of five Pteramon fly over the main the gate of the base, where much of the Dragon Vanguard forces are fighting against the Scorpiomon.
"ICE BEAST FIST!"
Suddenly, the lead Pteramon is hit by a powerful Ice attack. It spins out of control and slams into three of the others, deleting them instantly. The last barely dodges the onslaught, only to be hit by another ice attack, deleting it instantly.
Damn, where did these monsters come from? There's so many! thinks Panjyamon, leaping forward and stabbing his sword into another Scorpiomon's torso, deleting it.
"So, we finally meet."
Panjyamon looks up to see the source of the voice. The Digimon smirks and raises its sword.
"Its you...Garudamon," says Panjyamon, leaping towards the bird-like Ultimate and slashing with his sword, but it quickly parries.
"And you, my worthy adversary, shall die!"
--
"This is Unit 2, I'm ready."
"Unit 3, all systems are Go."
"Unit 4, I'm set."
"Captain, this is Unit 5, all systems are showing green."
"This is Captain Veemon Akira, all units, LAUNCH!"
[Cue - Target Akai Shougeki]
David looks over as multiple explosions rip across the main door of the hangar Akira had entered, a large plume of smoke and fire erupting from it as the five Mekanorimon jet out of the hangar.
"Yes!" yells David, as Akira's Mekanorimon jets into the air in the direct path of a squadron of Pteramon. They open fire on him with their missiles, but Akira swerves out of the way and activates the Mekanorimon's main weapon, a beam cannon that moves up from the Mobile Suit-like Digimon's back and locks into place on its right shoulder. Akira fires the beam cannon and immediately deletes three of the Pteramon, dispersing the others.
"Heh, the power of a Champion," says Akira, landing his Mekanorimon on top of another building. Three of the other Mekanorimon come up next to David and the Guardromon.
"You three, fire at will!" orders David, as the Mekanorimon lock their beam cannons in place and fire at the Scorpiomon. The last Mekanorimon charges at the Scorpiomon, picking one up and tossing it at the others. Another Scorpiomon comes up from behind and slashes the Mekanorimon's back, sending it reeling, but it quickly spins around and fires the beam cannon into the Digimon's face, deleting it.
"BONZAI!" yells Akira, his Mekanorimon jumping from atop the building down into another group of Scorpiomon, killing one with the beam cannon, but quickly getting rammed through the wall by another.
"What the...?!" yells Fal, watching as what looks like a Mobile Suit gets plowed through another wall by a Scorpiomon. The mobile suit rams its attacker again, sending it across the room towards Seadramon and Psydramon.
"PSYCHIC FIST!" yells Psydramon, launching her attack at the Scorpiomon, deleting it.
"Thanks, Psydramon," says the Mekanorimon with a wave.
"Wait...that voice..." says Fal, "AKIRA?!"
"Yeah, it's me, but let's talk later! We have to stop these guys before they destroy everything!" Akira replies.
"Right!" says Kana.
Rose618 has entered the room!
Rose618: What is it?
ShinCrow78: That idiot, he's interfering with my wargame!
Rose618: What? Who?
ShinCrow78: Section 5

[Cue End Theme – "I'll be there – Megumi Hayashibara"]
[In a dim, trash-filled alleyway, we see Ira Caraway, his hands in his coat pockets as wind blows his silver hair into his face. Panning up slowly, we see Aero Veedramon looking down at him from atop the building to his right. Cut to a street in Sacramento, overlooking San Francisco Bay. David Milliard is on the sidewalk, leaning against a building and staring towards the ground, as rain falls from a dim and cloudy sky. As we pan to the right, dissolve into a similar view of Veemon Akira, who is doing the same except he is in a devastated village, the way he is leaning giving the impression that they're standing back to back. The sky is black, but glowing red as is rains lightly]
[Cut to a beach on the Southern California coast at sunset. Fal Micheal watches as the sun slowly sinks below horizon, bathing him in an orange-red light. Quickly zoom into his eye, then back out to see Serpentmon doing the same. Cut to Kana Stone sitting on a windowsill, staring out across Tokyo as the Sun sets in the distance. Dissolve to a similar scene in the Digital World with Psymon, only she is sitting on the opposite side of her window, staring out across a devastated city with columns of smoke lazily drifting across the red-orange sky.]
[On an empty road on Okinawa, we see Kouyuu Fukushima leaning against his car staring towards us as a heavy rain falls from the dark sky. Cut to the Digital World, Kaoline Shokai, Dianamon, and Wizardmon stare up at the Digital star filled sky. Pan and zoom to a tree to the right, Jajan looks out from behind it at her, Celermon behind him.]
[Cut to a gray background, the shadows of Azulongmon appears. Then, Shadow and Caspian Callaway fade into view, Lopmon Mist on Shadow's shoulder. Cut again to a dark room, where Garfield Magnus loads a handgun as Black Agumon looks on]
[On the plains of North America, Alan Maxwell and Oppimon stare at the dark clouds brooding in the distance ominously. In the Digital World, Titaniumon Utora stands in the shadows of some city.]
[A park in Tokyo, Shiro Arkov walks silently in a heavy rain, several shadows passing by him. A short distance away, Tim Areo and Dashamon watch.]
