I don't own Digimon

Red Rises and the Dynasty Falls

888

Omega eyed the large Blimpmon as it turned slowly in the air and lowered itself down. He didn't like the aura it was giving off and he slid silently into the bushes. It was part of the reason he had chosen the ruins as the meeting place. There were plenty of places to hide from aggressors.

The Blimpmon opened its hatch-like mouth and Omega narrowed his eyes as Medieval Dukemon and Dynasmon walked forward. The metallic knight used his huge battle axe like a walking stick and circled the clearing slowly. Dynasmon only crossed his large muscular arms and looked up at the sky.

"Dynasmon, I believe Lord Lucemon will be very pleased with us!" said Medieval Dukemon loudly. "The humans should be here soon, and we will crush them!"

"You have no doubt of that fact?" asked Dynasmon quietly. The dragon looked at his companion.

"We were selected by Lord Lucemon to destroy the digi-destined! And we shall!" said Medieval Dukemon quietly. He eyed the dragon and smirked, "but we don't have to destroy them for the master…"

Dynasmon instantly turned his head in the knight's direction. "What are you insinuating?"

"The master is faltering, he leaves this world to delinquency," Medieval Dukemon stepped forward. "He has yet to give us our reward for our persistent loyalty…I believe Lucemon will only use us to destroy the digi-destined and then do away with us…"

"Do not question Lord Lucemon!" shouted Dynasmon with a feral growl.

Medieval Dukemon only released an unexcited sigh, "Always the loyal one Dynasmon…"

"I owe Lord Lucemon everything, my very existence is due to him!" retorted Dynasmon angrily.

"He may have made us, but it does not make him superior to us!" growled Medieval Dukemon. The knight looked in the dragon's eyes.

"I will not listen to anymore of this rebellious talk!" shouted Dynasmon.

Medieval Dukemon narrowed his eyes and looked up to see a black metal machine digimon as it rocketed overhead. Medieval Dukemon lifted his axe preparing for a fight. Dynasmon clenched his fist and looked up at the beast.

"I…" Taichi looked at the spot where the Transcendent Sword blast had exploded. "can't believe it…It can't be…It can't be…"

"Inconceivable isn't it…" whispered Yamato quietly. He had to admit that he was definitely impressed.

"This can't be right…" whispered Kari. "It's impossible."

"Nothing is impossible…" replied Takeru quietly. "Good or bad…"

"I just…can't seem to get over it…" whispered Yolei.

"It goes beyond any theories I have…" said Koushiro.

"I haven't even been here that long and I'm in shock…" said Mimi to the others.

"To think…he was responsible for all of this…" Joe looked around at the carnage.

Sora only looked up at the sky, too shocked for words.

"I'm as shocked as the rest of you…" whispered Ken as he looked at Davis.

"Something's just not…right…with this…" said Cody in his soft voice.

"Why are you guys all somber and whiny!" shouted Davis loudly. "WE BLASTED THE BASTARD! We got him! He's not in the sky, we kicked his ass, we took his name and we closed the book, chalk another one up for the digi-destined, we kicked major booty! Now let's get to fixing things up so we can celebrate!"

The others turned a hard scowl on Davis. Yolei walked up to him and slapped him. "You idiot, that was way too easy!" for good measure she slapped him again.

"What do you mean too easy? I didn't know winning had to be difficult!" shouted Davis in return.

"Why hasn't the sky changed?" Kari asked innocently. She looked up at the grey pall that filled the sky. Davis rubbed his hand behind his head. Her soft eyes stared at him with questions, "and why do I still feel like he's out there?"

"Fine…We'll fan out and search for him…" grumbled Davis as he turned to the bipedal Imperialdramon. He rammed his hands in the pockets of his pants.

"Dragon Roar!" flames flashed up from Dynasmon's hands as Black MegaGargomon struggled to hold off both Medieval Dukemon and Dynasmon while the others were regrouping.

"Silphymon, Mega digivolve to Valkyrimon!" The white and blue angelic warrior slashed forward with his sword. Medieval Dukemon swung his axe meeting Valkyrimon blade to blade.

"Cyberdramon, Mega digivolve to Justimon!" instantly the cyborg's arm morphed into the large voltage blade sheath and the crimson blade slipped free. The cyborg dove at Dynasmon giving Black MegaGargomon a bit of a breather.

Dynasmon slugged Justimon in the chin sending the cyborg flying backwards.

"Don't let him knock you down!" shouted Kitai loudly he was flailing his fists around, "Get up and give him the old one two across the chops!"

Noriko looked at Kitai and sighed.

"VALKYRIMON KICK HIS ASS!" shouted Ai on the other side of Noriko. "That's right; knock that helmet off his head!"

"Come on Black MegaGargomon, let's not fall behind!" called Sumi calmly. Reese and Carlyle and their partners were resting next to them. Monodramon was a little peeved at having been sidelined again but it was for the greater good.

"Power Pummel!" Black MegaGargomon swung his massive fist down into the back of Dynasmon. The dragon knight roared in aggravation as Justimon flashed forward and sliced across the dragon's midsection with the Voltage Blade.

"Fools!" shouted Dynasmon as he launched forward grabbing Justimon by the head and tossing him into the hard, metallic body of Black MegaGargomon. The two Mega Digimon ended up on the ground.

Justimon leapt forward. He swept his leg around for a round house kick, "Justice Kick!" Dynasmon growled grabbed the incoming foot and slammed Justimon to the ground.

"Breath of Wyvern!" The blue apparition reared its head above Dynasmon.

"Mega Barrage!" hundreds of missiles whistled up from Black MegaGargomon.

888

"Final Crest!" Medieval Dukemon and Valkyrimon crashed together, blade against blade vying against each other.

Valkyrimon leapt backwards and in a fluid set of motions, sheathed his sword, unhitched his crossbow and loaded it with an arrow, "Lightning Arrow!"

The streamer of energy ripped towards Medieval Dukemon. The knight twisted his axe in his hand and brought the flat of his blade up like a shield blocking the arrow. He then turned the axe so the emerald on its non-blade tip faced Valkyrimon. "Rage of Wyvern!" a green apparition of a huge dragon roared forward slamming the warrior into the ruins.

"Fenrir Sword!" a twisting blast of fire and ice slammed Medieval Dukemon in the chest.

Valkyrimon raged forward blade leveled at Medieval Dukemon. The axe blade spun into place and the two blades clashed again as the Mega Digimon continued fighting.

888

Dynasmon growled as Justimon leveled a Justice Kick into his sternum. It was quickly followed by a Gargo Missile. He pushed his palms forward laying out rivers of flame. Black MegaGargomon pushed through the flames and leveled a metal punch into Dynasmon sending the digimon waffling backwards.

Justimon leapt on Black MegaGargomon's back ran up the mechanical digimon's spine and then propelled himself of the canine head of his companion. He flew forward over Dynasmon's body and then dropped down with his foot projected. "Justice KICK!" Justimon drove the dragon into the ground and the launched off of him doing a flip. He hovered slightly facing Dynasmon and held out his arms, which morphed into heavily armored appendages and then slammed together, "Thunder Clap!" a vertical arc of electricity flashed forward crashing down on Dynasmon and spread out crushing the beast.

"Gargo Missile!" The two big shoulder missiles shot down into the dust and exploded kicking up more particulates into the air. The dust slowly settled. Justimon was standing on Black MegaGargomon's shoulder looking down.

The dragon was standing, which elicited a frown from Justimon. Dynasmon was not looking the best though. One of the dragon's wings had been torn free of his body. The other was totally shredded only the phalanges of his wings were left. His sterling white armor was scorched and pitted. His helmet was missing a horn.

He heaved loudly and drew his hands up in anguish. "BREATH OF WYVERN!"

His body glowed with a blue aura as a huge wyvern erupted from his body. The blue apparition had to be at least a hundred and fifty feet wide, from wingtip to wingtip. Its maw opened and snatched both Black MegaGargomon and Justimon up in one gulp and then flew into the sky only to come rocketing to back to terra firma and slamming the two into the ground. When the dragon had finished its attack, Dynasmon collapsed to his knees. The remains of his wings drooped and his head slumped. Black MegaGargomon and Justimon were laid out on the ground like Raggedy Andy dolls.

888

Valkyrimon slashed and kicked and punched but Medieval Dukemon seemed to only dodge and block. He rarely took the offensive. Valkyrimon growled. Something was up and he didn't like being out of the loop.

Suddenly there was a flash of blue. Valkyrimon stopped to look at what happened and Medieval Dukemon took a swing leveling the warrior.

Medieval Dukemon turned his head and looked at the weakened Dynasmon. The beaten armor, the tattered wings, they all screamed one thing. 'Free power…'

The knight ran towards his companion his axe poised and with one swing he sliced his surprised ally in half. Valkyrimon gasped in shock. He immediately stood and lifted his sword but an evil laughter permeated from the scene around Medieval Dukemon. Dynasmon's data particles hung lazily in the air and Medieval Dukemon lifted his gauntleted hand up and drew the particles towards him. Red lining started to snake along his armor. His cape flickered and exploded.

The knight extended his hand revealing the remains of a crystal and he smashed into dust and absorbed the data. The data particles from his cape reformed as six, large, tattered, leathery wings. His armor totally morphed to a muddy blood color. His axe turned into a double bladed battle axe, with one axe on each end and a large sheathe appeared at his side, accompanied by a large sword. His red eyes looked at Valkyrimon.

"Wanna dance?" The growling voice came. He lifted his new battle axe and pointed it at Valkyrimon. "Try this on for size. QUO VADIS!" the blade flashed with lightning as a blast of energy slammed into Valkyrimon's stomach.

888

"Impossible…" whispered Omega quietly. He looked on and had watched the battle, the final gasp of Dynasmon, and Medieval Dukemon's treachery. He had not anticipated this. "Medieval Dukemon has found a way to mode change to Crimson mode…a corrupt Crimson mode…more of a Blood mode but none the less…"

"How can we defeat Lucemon now?" asked Omega to himself.

The old man looked down and answered himself, "We must get them here…"

"They are not yet hatched…" Omega replied unto himself.

The old man lifted his walking stick and a rainbow burst flew upwards into the sky and exploded into four beams that shot in the four cardinal directions. Then the old man looked down and said to himself, "They are now…"

888

Salamon backed away from the blue egg as a twisting helix of electricity raged upwards into the sky. It wrapped around and around in the sky as data changed to energy and energy into matter. The ethereal snake like body was the first to form including the small clawed hands. Puffy cloud-like wings appeared next followed by lightning laced chains. Finally the deep storm cloud blue face mask, complete with glowing red eyes blazed into existence. The giant dragon let out a very angry roar.

"Some one woke up on the wrong side of the digi-egg," yelped Salamon as she scampered backwards.

The dragon looked down at the beige puppy/kitten. "I thank you Salamon, for giving up your power as Magnadramon to allow my reawakening…"

"Think nothing of it, Lord Azulongmon," bowed Salamon as the dragon hovered over her.

The dragon looked up and then south west, "There is a battle…"

"I only know that Lord Omega said he was going to tell the digi-destined about the Human World…" whispered Salamon. "I do not know of a battle…"

"Omega?" The dragon looked at the puppy/kitten.

"It is what they told me to call him…" said Salamon with an unsatisfied look on her face.

The dragon nodded and pushed to the west, "I am going to find out more. Be careful!"

888

Fire rushed up. Flames licked the roof. Smoke rushed around with orange sparks flashing in and out of the black clouds. The majestic beak and head followed by the four wings curled out of the smoke. The draconic tail of the bird slashed back and forth as the large jet like engine morphed up out of the ash. The bird looked down at the Biyomon in front of him.

"I am pleased you have returned healthy, Lord Zhuqiaomon," the Biyomon bowed deeply.

"I can attribute my health to you, you sacrificing your power as Phoenixmon was a gift I will not soon forget," replied the might fire bird. He spread his wings out and let out a groan.

"You need to show no gratitude towards me, my lord, such an action is my duty," the Biyomon bowed again. Zhuqiaomon looked down and nodded.

His head turned north, "And as to…"

"Lord Omega is almost ready to give a status report to the Digi-destined about the Human World," said Biyomon quietly. Zhuqiaomon nodded and unfurled his wings.

"I will be there when it is given!" said the phoenix as he took off.

Ryuudamon covered his eyes as the white molten blaze exploded from the white egg. There was a roar and the light faded enough for Ryuudamon to look on. The molten light rolled off the body of the large white tiger. First the spikes on his back were revealed then his muscular shoulders and head with his large fangs. His tail swished out of the molten light and finally his massive paws with their long sharp claws.

"Lord Baihumon!" cheered the little lizard in glee.

"Ryuudamon, I thank you for your sacrifice…" replied the feline as he gave a low bow to the lizard.

Ryuudamon blushed brightly, "Lord Baihumon, you should not desecrate yourself by bowing so low to me!"

"You gave a sacrifice many digimon would not have given," said the tiger with dignity. "You deserve it…"

"You put too much into my doing my duty…" replied the Ryuudamon giddily.

The tiger acknowledged the lizard and turned to the east. "What is going on…?"

"Master Omega has called the last of the digi-destined to a position to explain the conditions of the Human World…" replied the lizard.

"Then I shall be there as well," said the tiger and he galloped off.

888

Black mist and green leaves filled the temple. Renamon watched intently as the huge deciduous forest reared up. A brown head poked out of the smoke, followed by its twin. Large tree trunk sized legs stomped forward.

"Lord Ebonwumon," bowed Renamon courteously.

"Ah, Miss Haughty O'Smugly," said the turtle as it looked over Renamon. The fox rolled her eyes at the mannerism of the Harmonious One. Ebonwumon smiled, "Thank you Renamon for giving up your power to me."

"It was my duty, Lord Ebonwumon," said Renamon stoically.

"I don't think she's getting the point," said the left head to the right.

"I know, but hard heads like her often don't," replied the right head. It turned to Renamon. "You've got to let your fur down…"

"And you have to remember protocol…" replied Renamon curtly. The turtle snorted and then looked south. Renamon spoke again, "The last of the digi-destined to Mega digivolve are meeting up with Lord…" Renamon grimaced, "Omega…" The turtle turned its head to the fox. The golden kitsune shook her head, "Don't ask me, their reasonings are their own…I wished they'd just used his original name…"

"Ah, these ethereals always need to be Secret McEnigmatics…" grumbled the turtle as he walked forward. "Well I'm off; we'll see you at the end of the fight…and do try to lighten up…"

The fox only glowered and turned to work on some chore.

"Lightning Arrow!" the white streak bounced off of the new and improved Medieval Dukemon.

"Quo Vadis!" The crimson knight sliced forward with his new battle axe. The wake of the slice pushed forward slamming Valkyrimon in the gut. The warrior staggered to his feet.

"Medieval Dukemon!" shouted Valkyrimon as he unsheathed his sword. "You won't be allowed to win!"

"You say that now, but let's see what you say when you are in two pieces!" The knight twisted the battle axe and then hooked it to his back. He then drew a blazing sword.

"Mega Barrage!" missiles slammed down on the knight.

"Thunder Clap!" a huge electro-sonic wave slammed into the back of the crimson knight.

The bloody knight's wings curled slightly but he did not fall. He drew the sword up into the air. Valkyrimon stood his own blade raised defensively. Justimon had his Voltage Blade held in the air and Black MegaGargomon's missiles were on stand by.

Valkyrimon rushed forward his swept his blade around but the knight was much faster and quickly parried the sword and sent the warrior flying towards his compatriots. Justimon helped Valkyrimon up. The two of them looked back to the knight. His arm was outstretched and his blade was pointed to his side.

"Now, feel the power I control, and fall to the ground like the pathetic insects you are!" growled the knight as his eyes flashed crimson. "Invincible Sword!" he slashed forward in a tight semicircle. The pulse of light raged against the three destined digimon threatening to cut them to ribbons. Justimon and Black MegaGargomon crashed to the ground. Valkyrimon struggled to stay on his feet but the blast soon found him kneeling weakly on the ground in front of the knight. The crimson being walked forward, his sword sheathed. He drew his double battle axe and prepared for the final strike. "QUO…." A stream of blue lightning slashed in front of the beast stopping him in his tracks. The knight slid his eyes to the east in the direction the lightning had come from and paled as if he were seeing a ghost. He narrowed his eyes, "This cannot be; I destroyed you with my own hands…."

"We are more resilient than we look," replied a thunderous voice.

"Aye, we won't be failing this world for you, Medieval Dukemon," replied a second voice from the north.

"We have come to fix those things you have broken!" growled a third voice from the west.

"And we have come back for a little retribution as well," roared a voice from the south.

Like no one saw Medieval Dukemon turning out to be a real bad boy and turning against Lucemon and being treacherous…HA! How do you like my EVIL Crimson Mode…yes EVILLLLLL

Qiviut: Yes, the grit and nit is coming. The Homeward Bound Arc starts soon enough, and then we meet with the final confrontation of Lucemon that will take place in the Human World and the Digital World. Next chapter gives us the lay down, what is really happening, who is Omega, what is with Kage and Kougen, and what is the real reason Kage needs Kougen!

Sora: No need to thank me, it was kind of confusing in the chapters were Matt was reintroduced. We have Kuro being possessed and the entire world just starts to get turned over at this point. I really was planning to write a little chart for it anyways.
