The Invasion of Gyrogmon Begins! The Race for a Sister's Survival!
Marsupial Fertile Village/3780-MFV
Upon arriving at the site of this isolated community, the Digi-Destined were hoping to settle down and ask the villagers' help to find a medicine for Kari's illness. Before they even had a chance to land, the children had caught an unworldly glimpse of the spaceship harboring Gyrogmon and his soldiers. Even Izzy was fascinated over the fact that there were even extraterrestrials outside the Digital World. Then again, the likes of Neo Devimon and the Invaders proved them wrong.
The elder digimon, Jijimon, looks up to notice the massive Kabuterimon coming down for a landing. He took notice of the six children and digimon on the giant insect's back. He steps forward to Kabuterimon and glares up directly at the group. He studied them and cleared his throat.
"Human children, here? My word… Isn't this convenient? We've never had any human visitors arrive here. Not even the Digital Knights have stepped foot on these grounds. Tell me. Would you please identify yourselves?"
"Listen, mister. We came here because of an emergency," Tai spoke up. You see… My sister here has an illness. We were walking across the desert and then she collapsed. I think it was the heat that caused her fever to get worse."
"Not to mention we're out of water," Joe sighed as he opened up a canteen and tipped it to reveal no water.
"Then, we need to ask you about that!" Izzy pointed out to the spaceship descending away from where the village stood.
"You children are so full of questions and demand… I never saw such a bright bunch of innocent faces. And these digimon with you… They are your partners, are they not?" Jijimon asked.
"Of course, cause we're the Digi-Destined!" Tai proclaimed.
This immediately caught Jijimon by surprise. He has only heard about stories and rumors of seven children who saved File Island from Devimon's dark hand. The elder couldn't believe that he was speaking to a group considered as 'heroes' of the Digital World. He became even more convinced once noticing the crest of courage tag dangling around Tai's neck.
"You children are the Digi-Destined? My word… I cannot believe this! The Digi-Destined here? The saviors of File Island?" Jijimon asked out of apparent shock.
"Yes, that would be us," Sora hops off Kabuterimon. "These crests and tags should be proof enough…"
"That they are my child," Jijimon nodded. "So, you finally found the eighth child?"
"Yes, and that one is in need of any medication your village has available," Biyomon spoke up.
"May I look at this child?"
Nodding his head in reply, Tai lifted Kari's head up and revealed her to the elder. Jijimon slowly walked closer and peered directly over at Kari's angelic face. Her cheeks were already blushing red from the heat. She coughed out hoarsely but managed to cover her mouth. Gatomon used another one of Joe's towels to cover the girl's mouth to prevent the illness to spread to the other children.
"Please, can you help us? I'm no doctor, but Kari really needs help," Mimi pleaded to the elder.
"So, what about it? Please, we desperately need help," Tai begged for the old man. "… I know there's a spaceship here and that alone has you panicked, but if you can find us a place for my Kari to rest while we find any form of medication here."
"Yes. I see where you are coming from, but we've never had any outside intrusion for many generations, sans for a few of our trade units. This is truly not what I was expecting. The Digi-Destined and an unknown craft arriving on the same day? The scriptures state that there would be no outside intrusion for the next few digi-generations."
"Well, scriptures and premonitions are always meant to be broken," Agumon replied as he jumped off Kabuterimon.
"Can you help us?" asked Kabuterimon. "I know that you, Jijimon, would rather keep this community isolated. But you can at least allow us to rest here and to get Tai's little sister better."
"For the Digi-Destined, anything…" Jijimon nodded to Kabuterimon. "It's always a wonderful thing to have guests of honor such as you. Heroes are always welcome. Please, pardon me asking. I needed to be convinced that you weren't intruders attempting to invade and conquer our home."
"We would never do anything like that," Gomamon replied. "Though. I can't really say the same for the space floating above this village."
"Yes, we're not even sure what to make of this. Floating fortresses were never mentioned in my scriptures, but the arrival of otherworldly beings was due to arrive here in the next few generations. This is quite the unexpected twist."
Hopping off of Kabuterimon, Tai held Kari in his arms and carried her over before making a stop before the elder. Jijimon cleared his throat once again before speaking out.
"I'm sorry to see this happen to such a young and innocent soul," Jijimon sighed. "Please, Digi-Destined. Follow me to my quarters. Babamon and I will provide you with the hospitality you need."
"But, do you have any medicine?" Tai asked the elder digimon.
"I'm afraid not, since the miss and I never catch any illness. There hasn't been any form of diseases here for many years. However, there is a Koalamon who practices as our local medicine man, so to speak."
"Even though what you say about this community never getting exposed to diseases for years?" Patamon asked out of curiosity.
"Yeah, why make medicine then?" TK shrugged.
"Because the Koalamon finds it enjoyable. He wishes to move away and help those in need," Jijimon answered.
"Oh, I see. That's very kind of him," Palmon smiled. "Don't you think, Mimi?"
"Definitely. Now that's what I call a selfless digimon," Mimi agreed with her plant partner.
"Come. Let's get back to my quarters. Besides, Babamon will knock my clock off if I don't get back home. She's worried for the villagers because of the unexpected appearance of this ship. Follow me, children. My home isn't too far from here."
With that said, Jijimon started walking off through the now empty village. Tai followed behind the elder while carrying his ill sister in his arms. The other Digi-Destined, one by one, tagged along with their leader. Kabuterimon de-evolved back to Tentomon and flew fast enough to catch up with Izzy. Just then, Agumon caught glimpse of the spaceship beyond the horizon and felt uneasy for a moment. Gatomon took notice of this and approached the reptile.
"What's wrong, Agumon? Did that ship get your attention somehow?" asked the white feline.
"As a matter of fact, I'm getting a real strange feeling about this," Agumon replied to Gatomon's question. "Ever since the whole Invader fiasco, I've been wary of ships arriving from out of the vast regions of digi-space."
"Well, I sure don't blame you. I'm not liking this one bit," Gatomon agreed. "I mean… Kari's down with an illness and we don't even know why she's getting sick. We won't know for sure if they have any medication to cure her illness. Now, we have unwanted visitors from space. Agumon, let's make sure to keep an eye out on this."
"Right. I get it. Um, hey! Where did everyone go?"
"Oh, don't panic. They just went around a corner," the feline pointed towards an opposite direction.
"Oh… Whew! Here I thought they had abandoned us!"
"Oy, Agumon," Gatomon slapped her forehead. "Sometimes even you amaze me. They wouldn't do that."
"Heh. Yeah, of course. I was just playing around," Agumon chuckled as he started walking to the direction Gatomon pointed to.
"Firs things first… Kari needs me by her side," Gatomon thought after getting a final glimpse of the descending spaceship.
The feline started scurrying off to where Agumon and the others were heading. Across the horizon was a large, dome-shaped home made out of bricks and hard, earthen clay. There was a nice, beautiful garden around the outside and several windows around the sides of the home. The Digi-Destined looked across at the elders home and were slightly disappointed. They had expected something a little more luxurious. Then again, this is just a village and there were many homes like this to be found.
"Welcome to our humble abode," Jijimon presented his home. "I know it's not much, but we're still redecorating. Please, come in and Babamon should provide you children with our guest room."
"Thank you, Jijimon. We so deeply appreciate it," Tai bowed to the elder. "Especially since you're willing to help me with my sister. She means a lot to me."
"I understand, my boy," Jijimon nodded in agreement. "I'll ask for Babmon to prepare the bed for her."
The elder digimon opened the front door leading inside the home. As the children and their digimon entered, they gasped out in awe. The inside of the home was different from the outside. It wasn't dull but beautifully decorated with the tables and seats neatly done. The walls were painted white and blue. Jijimon stretched out his arms and walked over to where an old woman was sitting in a rocking chair.
"Honey! Babamon! Look what we've got here!" Jijimon calls out to his wife.
Upon hearing her husband, Babamon sat up from her rocking chair and turns around to find her husband standing next to the group of children and digimon by his side. She pulled out her glasses and placed it on her face. As soon as she caught glimpse of the children again, she was caught by completely surprise. What were human children doing in her home?
"Oh my! Jijimon! You brought us some guests?" Babamon asked out of curiosity. "How did you manage to meet these children? No human has ever stepped foot in our territory. We were supposed to be isolated for the enxt few generations."
"Well, you have to consider the ship that arrived from beyond the stars recently," stated Jijimon.
"What? You mean these children were the ones piloting that ship?"
"Us? We don't even drive yet," Joe spoke out. "I'm sorry, but this is an inconvenience. You see…"
"I'll handle this, Joe," Tai whispered in Joe's ear. "Um, hello there. I'm sorry for the intrusion but we have a real emergency in our hands."
"You not intruding at all. It fact, since Jijimon brought you here as our guests of honor, I should be kind enough to show you hospitality for your needs."
"Thank you, miss," Sora bowed to the old digimon. "My friend here has a sister who is currently down with an illness. She is need of rest and medication to reduce her fever."
"Well, let me see. Allow me to take a look for myself," Babamon replied as she stepped forward.
The old digimon stopped in front of Tai and placed a hand over the girl's forehead. It was burning hot, which convinced the old woman enough that the child was indeed running a horrible fever. Babamon flinched back once feeling Kari's forehead and sighed deeply.
"You poor child… She is indeed running a fever," Babamon replied. "Please, allow me to take the girl and I'll show her into the guest room."
Tai nodded in reply and carefully handed his sister to Babamon. The little girl coughed out once again. However, Tai was there to cover her mouth with a towel.
"It's okay, Kari. These nice people are going to help us to reduce your fever. Now, you just close your eyes and get some rest," Tai smiled down at his sister.
"Uh… huh…"
Kari slowly closed her eyes and started to fall asleep in the old digimon's careful arms.
"Now, in the meantime… Make yourselves right at home, children," Babamon smiled to the five children and their digimon.
"Um, I forgot to mention that these children are the legendary Digi-Destined," Jijimon quickly spoke out to remind her.
As soon as he said that, Babamon stopped right at the spot and stood frozen still in shock. She couldn't believe what she heard from her own husband's mouth. The legendary Chosen were in her home and in person. This was a dream come true for Babamon.
"Did you just say Digi-Destined, honey? Oh my stars!" Babamon cried out with a mixture of shock and happiness. "This is wonderful! We have THE Digi-Destined in our home! Somehow, I remembered that the Digi-Destined would have digimon partners accompanying them!"
"Yes and that girl you're holding is my partner," Gatomon approached the old digimon.
"I see. My, isn't this a surprise. Please, allow me to take this child to the guest room," Babamon bowed.
"Allow me to join you. After all, Kari is my friend," Gatomon followed Babamon along.
"Ok, now that my sister is in your good hands. Tell us, what part of town will we find this doctor?" Izzy asked Jijimon. "I mean, in case you haven't noticed, the town has been deserted."
"They did not flee out of town. They have all returned to their homes and burrowed underground, at least most of them," Jijimon responded. "You see… Ever since that ship arrived, everyone has been in panic. However, we don't know for sure whether these visitors can be trusted or not. We'll just have to see once we make contact with them."
"Sounds like your people aren't used to any form of outside intrusion," Sora spoke out.
"That's correct. Our community has been in isolation for many generations. Upon the ship and your arrival, we're not sure how to approach outsiders. The only foreigners we've come into contact with are the desert trade system."
"But, do tell us where we can find the doctor. I'm sure he'll understand our situation and give us a medication my sister needs," Tai replied to the elder.
"Yes, I know where to find Koalamon. He's down around the corner from the local market," Jijimon informed the goggle head. "As a matter of fact, I can help accompany you there since Koalamon and I go back a long way."
"Then allow me to come. I can use my laptop to search through the pharmacy's medical directory. I could help find the right medicine to give Kari," Izzy raised his hand out to volunteer.
"That would be quite helpful, child," Jijimon agreed. "You two can accompany me."
"All right, Agumon and Tentomon will join us then. As for the rest of you guys, you stay here with Babamon until we get back. Hopefully, this doesn't take long," Tai told his fellow Digi-Destined. "Ready to go, Agumon?"
"Yep! You and Jijimon lead the way!"
"Well, in case you haven't noticed, only Jijimon knows where the doctor is located," Sora corrected the digimon.
"If you guys manage to find out who comes out of that spaceship, make sure to let us know," TK walked up to Tai. "We're really anxious to know."
"Don't worry, kid. If anyone or anything comes out of that ship, we'll be sure to fill you in," Tai gives TK a thumb up. "Let's get going, Agumon!"
"C'mon, Tentomon! We're heading out!" Izzy calls out to his insect partner.
"COMING!" the duo replied in unison.
With Jijimon stepping out the door, Tai, Izzy, Agumon and Tentomon followed the elder out into the town. They would begin their search for Koalamon's home to collect for the medicine. Everyone other Digi-Destined were left to stay with Babamon and look after Kari.
Babamon emerged out of the guest room and noticed that her husband was gone. Not just her husband but Tai, Izzy and their digimon partners.
"Um, oh heavens. Where did everyone go?" asked Babamon.
"They stepped out to go find Koalamon and see if he has the medicine available to help with Kari's illness," Joe answered. "Oh, they should have brought me along!"
"Maybe they need you to stay and watch over Kari with us. After all, you have experience with medical procedures," Sora stated.
"But I would have familiarity with medicine; especially picking the right prescription."
"Cheer up, Joe. You're still helping out by staying with us to take care of Kari," Mimi smiled as she pats the boy on his back.
"Can we go in and see her?" asked TK.
"I don't see why not… You are her friends," Babamon replied.
"Let's make sure to walk in there quietly in case she's asleep," Biyomon suggested everyone.
As soon as the pink bird suggested this, the children and their digimon partners slowly walked into the guest room just ahead within a hallway. The group stepped inside to find a beautifully white room with pink curtains hung around the windows. A twin-sized bed was standing at the center with white covers and a maroon bed cover. Lying inside the bed was Kari. She was already sound asleep with Gatomon curled up on top of her. The feline immediately woke up when she heard her friends entering.
"Oh, hi guys," Gatomon yawned. "I heard you coming a long way. Kari's asleep as you can see."
"We can tell. She already fell dead asleep," Sora stated. "Poor thing. That heat must have taken a toll on her considering her fever."
"I'm just glad I'm not in her position," Mimi sighed. "You think they'll find the medicine, Joe?"
"I would think so since they're seeing a doctor with more experience than I," Joe shrugged. "By the way, I'm still wondering about that shop and the uninvited guests to be expected."
"I know. I'm already getting pretty curious myself," TK nodded in agreement. "Right, Patamon?"
"Uh huh!" the winged digimon smiled radiantly.
"I wish… I could see them," Kari spoke up upon her friends speaking.
"Kari…? Are you actually even asleep?" Palmon asked.
"I was but then you guys came in and started talking. I couldn't sleep anymore," she replied as she slowly sat up. "My head's really burning up here…"
"Please, get some sleep, Kari," Sora kneeled over a covered Kari up. "You'll need it if you want to get better. Your brother, Izzy and Jijimon should be back in a few minutes."
"Oh…? I knew Tai wouldn't give up on finding the medicine…"
"Of course not. He wants you to get better as soon as possible. He would feel terrible if he couldn't do anything to reduce your fever," Gatomon nodded and covered Kari up even more.
"Well, Gomamon. Isn't this a surprise? You aren't cracking an wise cracks since we've gotten here," Joe pointed out to Gomamon. "What's the deal?"
"Tai's sister being sick is one and I'm getting a bad vibe about that ship."
"No joke," Gatomon spoke out. Biyomon. Patamon. Palmon. I'm sure you guys feel the same way."
"Yeah. It's as if something bad is going to happen, but really I can't tell what will happen," Palmon stated. "Or I'm just looking too deep into things again…"
"No, your sense ought to sense it, Palmon," Gatomon replied to the plant digimon. "Don't be in denial. This is something we have to check out. Are you guys with me?"
"Sure, but we can't leave Kari here by herself," Mimi spoke out.
"Then, I'll stay with her," Sora stated. "Biyomon and I will stay with Kari."
"The rest of you can come with me," Babamon walks into the room. "I could use the company since my husband is out with your two friends. There's already a crowd building up outside to see the arrival of the outer space travelers. It should be quite the treat to be greeted by otherworldly life."
"Oh! I'd like to come!" TK jumped off the bed. "Though… I can't leave Kari… Sora. I'll stay here with you."
"I'll be fine here by myself with Biyomon. You go on with the others," Sora smiled.
"But…"
"It's okay, TK," Kari coughed while speaking. "I'll be fine here with Sora. You go and see what those aliens look like. I hope they turn out friendly."
"I'll give you the whole scoop when we get back," TK nodded with a smile. "You just sit tight and get rest, Kari."
"Thanks, TK. I will."
"All right, everyone. Shall we get going?" Babamon smiled. "We had better get there quickly or we'll get caught up in a massive crowd."
"Yeah, I really get claustrophobic around crowds, especially when I'm the one tightly closed in between them."
"Oh, Joe," Mimi couldn't help but giggle.
As Babamon led the others out, this left Sora, Biyomon and Gatomon to watch over Kari. If what Gatomon said was partially true, then there was caution to be considered when approaching this 'close encounter'. Scarily enough, the feline was correct on her assumption. The aliens aboard were indeed untrustworthy and set with their own sick agenda.
"I just hope what I said about these aliens being unfriendly is not true. I want to think these arrivals are friendly, but who's to say they aren't? Neo Devimon and the Invaders sure proved us wrong… Oh, Kari… Please, get better soon," Gatomon thought while curling up next to the female Kamiya.
"Please, hurry back, Tai," Sora sighed as she stared out the window.
Other side of the village/Koalamon's Local Pharmacy Home
Once Tai, Izzy, the digimon duo and Jijimon arrived, they were alone with no other person in sight. It seemed even the patients were going into hiding. Little did they know that many others were already out to greet the 'visitors' from the ship. Tai looked around his surroundings while Izzy and Jijimon checked around the pharmacy.
"Hey, Tai? Where do you think all the sick people left to?" Agumon asked.
"Most likely when they felt the arrival of the spaceship. Many hid and run in panic… Others… Well I'm clueless. Besides that, this place is completely empty."
"No kidding, Tai! Hello! Is anybody in here?" Agumon calls out for anyone to reply. "We're here to see if Koalamon is here! Hello!"
As Agumon calls out for any digimon to answer back, Tai was suddenly visibly trembling. He instantly was reminded of a very terrible childhood scene from at least four to five years ago. It took place in a hospital he visited after his sister had collapsed due to her illness. She had been rushed into the hospital since she was sick from pneumonia. It was doubtful if she would have survived then. Tai felt he was responsible for the well being of his little sister and he let his family down. He failed himself. He failed Kari. He failed being a responsible big brother. Echoes from the past whispered in his mind as they lingered for the past four years.
"TAI! DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT YOU'VE DONE!"
"Mother, I…"
"DON'T MOM ME, TAI! KARI WAS SICK AND YOU KNEW THAT! WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YOU?"
"I… I…"
"SHE COULD HAVE DIED! DO YOU WANT TO BE DECLARED A MURDERER AND HAVE THEM TAKE YOU AWAY FROM US?"
"That'll never happen… You know I would never kill Kari!"
Once hearing that argument replay in his mind for years, the goggle head seethed and clenched his fists tightly. He remembered that hard, painful slap across his face by his mother. It hurt not just him but it shattered the very essence of his soul. He had lost his mother's trust and those old wounds would never heal for a long time to come. Agumon noticed his partner standing with a tense look across his face.
"Um, Tai? Are you all right?"
"I won't fail her again…" the boy whispered under his breath.
"Who, Tai?"
"I won't let it happen again… Never…" Tai quivered with his fights clenching even tighter. "Never…"
"Tai?"
"Hey you guys! We found him!" Izzy calls out from behind the patient rooms. "Koalamon is here and it seems we've got a lock on the medication!"
"Right! We're on the right track now! Let's go, Agumon!" Tai smiled happily.
"You bet! I'm definitely in high spirits now," Agumon nodded.
"It'll be great once we use it to help reduce Kari's fever and continue our adventure!" Tai raced down the halls. "Race you there, Agumon!"
"Hey! No fair!" Agumon laughed while giving chase to his partner.
"Kari! We're just a few steps away from getting the medication and getting you back to one hundred percent health!" Tai thought to himself. "Medicine! Here we come!"
Outskirts of Marsupial Fertile Village/Landing Destination of the 'spacecraft'
The crowds from out of the local town were moving out across the fertile landscape and were struck with awe at what they had discovered. Finally, the ship had made a perfect landing on the ground soil. The shape of the ship was round and massive. Four pairs of large silts stood out across from each side and helped the ship balance itself. The outside exterior of the ship was completely futuristic and high-tech compared to the primitive home of the inhabitants' village.
They were looking at the ship as if it were sent from the heavens by the gods themselves. Little do they realize, they were soon to have a rude awakening once the aliens aboard reveal themselves.
Suddenly, the ship's front hatchet door opened up and lifted down to form a stairway. The villagers stepped back away as soon as the door slid down and waited out in anticipation. A figure immediately stepped out to reveal himself. He was garbed in a black leather suit. His armor, boots, gloves and helmet were white. The shape of the head was nearly banana-shaped and a silver visor was attached on the front helmet. The soldier pointed out towards the crowd of villagers.
The village crowds were speaking amongst themselves in complete awe at the first 'visitor' to step out and reveal himself. It was unbelievable that they would be the first, amongst all the civilizations of the Digital World, to be graced by the presence of outer space visitors.
"Men! Move out!" the soldier bellows out.
As soon as he said that, he marched out with a battalion of other soldiers marching out behind him. The villagers gasped at the massive standing army emerging from the ship. This certainly did not look good for those worrying about an invasion. The soldiers stopped as they filed into a single line behind the lead commander.
"Attention, Digital World inhabitants!" the commander calls out. "We hereby claim this planet! From this moment forth, this planet belongs to Lord Gyrogmon! All those who resist will be exterminated!"
"Whoa! Did you hear that, dad?" a Wallabymon child asked his Kangaroomon father.
"I hear! I can't believe what I'm hearing!"
"Forget that! They're just jerking our chain! I'll bet they came here in peace!" laughed a Wombatmon.
"Lord Gyrogmon, he says? What kind of stupid name is that?" a Dingomon snickered.
"I'd rather be ruled by poop than someone named Gyrogmon!" a Boar digimon snorted.
"Excuse us! Pardon us!" Babamon calls out from the crowd.
The village crowds were pushed away through by Babamon and the Digi-Destined who followed her. They were kind enough to let the elder pass through without quarrel. Babamon stopped as she looked ahead towards the fleet of soldiers standing out. TK, Mimi and Joe weren't too sure what to make out of this. The digimon trio sure did not like the welcoming committee.
"Wow! So these are the visitors?" TK gasped in awe.
"Something tells me we shouldn't have come here," Joe gulped out of fear.
"Their outfits sure do not look right," Mimi nodded.
"Be careful! These guys certainly are not your friendly aliens!" Palmon warned the children.
"What makes you think so?" asked TK.
"Trust us. We can feel a bad vibe from them!" Patamon frowned.
"But I don't get why these guys are laughing. They look scary," Joe slightly quivered. "And they've got blasters…"
"We're not leaving. Without Jijimon, I have to get to the bottom of this myself," Babamon stated.
"Not without us," Gomamon replied. "You'd be crazy if you approached these guys!"
Inside the spaceship
The cloaked figures working around the control station were powering down the generators. One cloaked figure removed his cloak and was revealed to be a creature taking the form of a cog gear with eyes and a mouth. He turned around to give a status report to Lord Gyrogmon.
"Hagurumon! What's the hold up?" the orange winged demon yelled out.
"Hold up… There's no hold up. I'm just calculating," the gear digimon nervously replied. "I'm working rapidly and effectively as possible… Yes sir!"
The seated Lord Gyrogmon was revealed from simply his face. His eyes were yellow with black pupils. An orange cloth wrapped around his neck. The skin of the creature was dark green with a white helmet around his head. A frown crossed his face for a minute until he started to move his mouth around as if eating a piece of food.
"Hagurumon! Our master is growing impatient!" the bodybuilder-sized monster growled while approaching the machine digimon. "How long will it take to conquer this planet with our resources?"
"I'm still calculating! This is far too complicating than the last job I had," the machine squeaked. "I can't even make a probable theory!"
"Well, make a guess then! Lord Gyrogmon will not wait any longer!" the monster roared out.
"Commander Yerguimon!" Gyrogmon growled out to catch the commander's attention.
Yerguimon turned around to face Gyrogmon with a nervous look across his face. The warlord gave the commander a terrifying yet silent gaze. This look could only mean one thing. Gyrogmon's patience was growing thin.
"Lord Gyrogmon! Who am I to forget your presence? I'm sorry! Please, forgive me, sire!" Yerguimon bowed before the evil warlord.
"Nonsense! You and Hagurumon were supposed to have given me a report long before we arrived on this planet! You are expendable! Farewell, commander!" Gyrogmon sat up from his throne.
"No, please! Wait…!"
Before Yerguimon even had a chance to speak, Gyrogmon pointed a finger directly to Yerguimon and shot a beam through his chest. The beam pierced through Yerguimon's heart. The monster quivered into shock with a burning hole through his chest cavity. Then, he fell and exploded into data. Hagururmon looked on in horror, as he knew that could have been him.
"Hagurumon! Please forget about the commander, how long will it take?" Gyrogmon asked the machine.
Just then, another Hagurumon removed his cloak and approached the warlord nervously.
"Well, sire… I don't want to offend you, but… How long would you like for it to take?"
"How long will it take with our resources?" Gyrogmon calmly asked the second Hagurumon.
"Well, if my assumptions are correct, I would say about ten days!"
Just as soon as he said 'ten days', Gyrogmon grunted angrily and fired a beam that plunged right through the second Hagurumon. The machine screamed out before collapsing and exploding into a cloud of data. The seated Hagurumon quivered in fear. Could he be next on Gyrogmon's execution list?
"You there! You're in charge now! How long will it take?" Gyrogmon asked as he sat back down on his throne.
"If I said three days, would I live?"
The warlord smiled in satisfaction and nodded his head in reply to his subordinate's answer. Three days was much better to work with then ten days.
"Sire. It will be done in three days. It is an honor to work for you," the Hagurumon bowed his head. "Thank you for entrusting me with these responsibilities. You can count on me. I won't let you down!"
Three days was all he needed to conquer the planet and steal away its resources. With no Azulongmon or any Holy Beast to oppose him, Gyrogmon would claim the planet for himself. But he forgets that the Digi-Destined are still around.
Outside the ship/Fertile outskirts of the Marsupial Fertile Village
The standing alien army was ready to implement their attack. Many set their gun blasters and others raised their palmed hands out to begin to fire away a barrage at the villagers. The invasion was set to begin.
"ON MY MARK! FIRE!" the lead soldier ordered his men to attack.
The soldiers launched out an array of blasts across the villagers. The digimon panicked in fear and started feeling back towards their homes. Without a standing army of their own, the villagers were helpless to even defend themselves. They never even considered building a defense since they have been a peaceful isolation for so long. Babamon attempted to run away but Mimi and Joe were there to lead her away.
"C'mon, Babamon! We have to go!" Joe exclaimed. "This is already getting out of hand!"
"This is terrible! We can't even defend ourselves!" Babamon cried out.
"You mean you don't have an army for yourselves?" asked Joe.
"Well, that's pretty crumby if you ask me," Gomamon remarked.
"We've been in peaceful isolation for so long that we have never considered building up a military!" Babamon shouted. "This is the first time anyone has ever attacked our peaceful home!"
"Don't you think we should wait for Tai and the others to get here?" Mimi asked.
"No way! Are you crazy, Mimi? Kari is still stick and Sora is with her! That just leaves Tai and Izzy!" Joe shouted. "Matt's not even here. What should we do? I don't think our digimon can handle these guys!"
"Don't we can handle them? Please! Let us digivolve and we'll kick their butts!" Palmon smiled deviously. "Let me take these jerks, Mimi!"
"Let me at 'em, Joe! Let me at 'em!" Gomamon growled.
"Down boy…" Joe remarked. "All right, you've convinced me enough!"
"Want a piece of them, too, Patamon?" asked TK.
"You bet!"
"All right! Show them what ultimates can do!" Joe exclaimed.
"Right!"
"Wow. I get to see the Digi-Destined and their digimon in action? This will be quite the treat," Babamon smiled. "But, will it be enough against these invaders? Please, be our miracle heroes, children…"
"Time to digivolve, guys! Let them have it!" TK exclaimed out.
With that said, the childrens' digivices started to set off and release a bright, golden light. The three digimon were engulfed by a golden light and digivolving into their champion-level forms. Babamon watched with utter shock and gratefulness.

"Gomamon SHINKA! Ikkakumon!"
"Palmon SHINKA! Togemon!"
"Patamon SHINKA! Angemon!"
Then, Joe and Mimi's crests, Reliability and Sincerity, started to glow and amplify more energy through their digivices. Thus, their digimon were allowed to digivolve even further.
"Ikkakumon CHOU SHINKA! Zudomon!"
"Togemon CHOU SHINKA! Lillymon!"
Once digivolving into their highest levels, the trio charged across the terrain; well Lillymon flew across. They started to attack the alien soldiers ahead. Angemon pulls out his angel rod and blocked out the energy blasts coming from the soldiers. Zudomon deflected more with his hammer. Meanwhile, Lillymon dodged the shots and formed a flower in her hands.
"Flower Cannon!"
The flower maiden fired across a blast that knocked away a group of soldiers. Zudomon came charging across and swung his hammer across to swipe more away. This gave Angemon a chance to fly across and nail more others with his rod.
"Vulcan's Hammer!"
"Hand of Fate!"
Angemon's attack knocked back three soldiers, in turn deleting them in the process. The hammer slammed down and caused the ground to tremble. Soldiers were stagger against the trembling ground and were blasted away by the shot created by Zudomon's attack. Lillymon came flying down and delivered a heel kick across a soldier's helmet, while shattering the visor in the process. Another came charging at her. She ducks under and delivers a kick up his crotch. The soldier bellows out in agony and falls to his knees.
(End theme)
"Whoops! I meant to do that," Lillymon giggled as she tipped him over with a tap.
"Look out, Lillymon!" Angemon exclaimed. "There's more coming!"
"You've got them where you want them, guys! Keep it up!" TK calls out in encouragement.
"Way to crack his walnuts, Lillymon!" Mimi gave a thumb up to Lillymon. "I would have done the same!"
"Gee, you two really do think alike, almost like sisters," Joe mumbled. "It's scary…"
Inside the spaceship
Lord Gyrogmon watched the monitor displayed out in front of him. Already he was beginning to become frustrated with his soldiers being swept aside like cannon fodder.
"Look at those pathetic weaklings!" Gyrogmon grumbled. "They can't even stop those three digimon! Wait, those digimon and the children. Could they be the Digi-Destined of legend?"
"Digi-Destined?" the blue creature spoke. "That's not possible! Those digimon there are pathetic! They couldn't be the partners of the legendary human children!"
"However, they are much stronger than they look," the winged demon nodded. "Stronger than anything we've come across…"
Just then, Gyrogmon caught a glimpse of TK, Mimi and Joe from the monitor. The crests and tags around their necks had caught his immediate attention. Yes, the crests. Those were proof enough that these children are in fact the Digi-Destined.
"No! They are the Digi-Destined! Look at their crests and tags! We clearly saw their devices emit a bright light, thus allowing their digimon to evolve."
"My word! You could be right, my lord" the green, short monster screeched. "When their devices went off, their digimon digivolved into these higher forms!"
"Currently, two are ultimate-level and one is a champion," Gyrogmon informed them and got up from his seat. "The digimons' techniques are quite superb. It's no doubt they've been dealing with enemies for a while."
"Shall we move out of the ship and get a better look, my lord?" asked the blue-skinned warrior.
"Yes, let's move."
Outside the ship/Fertile outskirts of the Marsupial Fertile Village
As Angemon slammed his rod against a soldier, another grunt came charging in and shooting out an energy blast from out of the corner. Lillymon saw this coming and flew out towards the grunt. She delivers a kick to the side of the soldier's grunt. The blast came hurtling towards Angemon, but the angel was quick enough to cancel out the attack by twirling around his rod.
"Angel Staff!"
"Nicely done, Lillymon!" Mimi cheered on for her partner.
"Wow, you truly are the Digi-Destined! Our home is saved!" Babamon laughed in joy.
"Just leave this to us, ma'm!" TK smiled.
Suddenly, the momentum suddenly turned for the worse as a grunt came out of nowhere and slammed his fist into Lillymon's gut. The force was enough to send the flower maiden flying across the battlefield.
"Oh no! Lillymon!" the Digi-Destined of Sincerity screamed.
As Lillymon slammed to the ground, Angemon was there to pick her up. Zudomon defended the duo from the incoming blasts while wielding out his hammer.
"Good! Stay on the defense, Zudomon!" Joe calls out to the hammer-wielding beast.
"I just wish everyone else were here to help us!" TK hoped. "Tai. Izzy. We need you!"
Koalamon's Pharmacy Home
Tai, Izzy and Jijimon waited in the pharmacy shop while a human-sized bipedal Koala, garbed in a medical outfit, gathered a brown bottle of medication. He pulls out a bag and places the medication inside to keep it safe. He steps out of his office and cleared his throat to get everyone's attention.
"I've sealed and deliver for you the medication you need," Koalamon stated as he handed the bag to Tai.
"Thank you very much, Koalamon. Your gratitude will never be forgotten. We'll remember this," Tai bowed as he took the bag.
"You children might want to get out of here because those visitors are starting an attack. There's already people fleeing," Koalamon looked out towards the window.
"Oh no! Not good!" Izzy exclaimed. "Tai! We've got to do something fast!"
"Kari first and then we'll go see what's going on with these invaders!" Tai stated. "Let's move out! Agumon!"
"Right!"
"We thank you, Koalamon my friend. Won't you be hiding?" Jijimon asked his friend.
"I always keep an underground passage under my home. I keep all of my good storage down there. I'll be fine," Koalamon nodded.
"Ok, that's good. I pray we survive this and see each other again."
"That we will, Jijimon. You can count on it."
Just as the children and their digimon opened the door, they jumped back to find a figure standing out in front of them. Much to their relief, it was Sora carrying Kari on her back. Gatomon and Biyomon revealed themselves from behind Sora.
"You guys? I thought you were with Babamon?" Tai asked. "What's going on? Where's everyone else?"
"Over where the attacks are taking place! I believe the others are engaged in combat with these guys!" Sora answered while panting.
"What? We had better get over there pronto, but you make sure to stay behind us. After all, you have Kari on your back."
"Don't worry. We'll protect her," Gatomon assured the Kamiya boy.
"I can always count on you," the leader nodded in reply. "Let's move out!"
Outside the ship/Fertile outskirts of the Marsupial Fertile Village
With the digimon trio going on the defense against the incoming grunts, the leader of the entire ship stepped out to finally expose himself in full. Babamon and the children watched in horror as they finally caught glimpse of Gyrogmon himself. The soldiers halted their attacks and immediately lined up to bow in respect.
"Well, isn't this quite the convenience?" Gyrogmon chuckled. "Who would have thought I'd finally meet the Digi-Destined? Here, I thought you were nothing but a digimon's fairy tale."
"Who's this guy?" Joe wondered.
"It has to be their leader, no doubt," TK whispered. "He looks scary…"
"No joke," Mimi agreed with the boy. "I have a bad feeling our digimon are in trouble…"
Gyrogmon's body was at last revealed, from head to toe. Though his face was revealed, his body was never truly exposed into the light. He was entirely covered with a black cloak over his body. Underneath, his body suit was orange with a dark blue spandex stretched across from chest and around the other side across his back. A brown, leather belt tightened around his waist.
"Hey, you! Just what do you think you're doing here and attacking this village?" Babamon exclaimed towards Gyrogmon. "What gives you any right to implement a strike against a non-militaristic community! If you were any real men with honor, you wouldn't attack us helpless people! You should be ashamed of yourselves!"
"Please, Babamon! Don't do this! You're going to get yourself killed!" Joe attempted to restrain the elder.
"You're one crazy old lady!" Mimi helped Joe to hold Babamon back.
"No! They're guests! I will not accept them implementing a strike on our home and this planet!"
Just then, the winged demon, the blue-skinned warrior and the green monster phased in front of Gyrogmon. The children jumped back in shock as they were immediately caught off guard by their sudden appearance. The blue-skinned warrior pointed directly towards the children and spoke out to gain their undivided attention.
"Angiramon!" the blue-skinned warrior shouted.
(Angiramon. Ultimate-level. Mutant Digimon. Special Attacks: Spiral Blast & Shuriken Blades)
"Medamatchamon!" screeched the short, green mutant.
(Medamatchamon. Ultimate-level. Mutant Digimon. Special Attacks: Multiply & Energy Drain)
"Dorodabomon!" the winged demon bellowed out!
(Dorodabomon. Ultimate-level. Mutant Digimon. Special Attacks: Demon Rampage & Berserker Strike)
"Our Master, Lord Gyrogmon, has commandeered this planet! You are his guests now! Follow him and you shall live, old woman! The same applies to you, Digi-Destined!" Angiramon proclaimed. "You will show Lord Gyrogmon respect!"
"Gyrogmon…?" Zudomon whispered under his breath.
(Gyrogmon. Mega-Level. Ancient Mutant Digimon. Special Attacks: Hell Grenade, Demon Atomic Explosion and Growth)
"What! How does he know we're Digi-Destined?" TK wondered.
"This can't be. How do they know?" Angemon thought.
"Or you can join the countless who have resisted him and die!" the blue-skinned Angiramon warned them.
"You can't mean… that!" the voice of Tai calls out.
The children and Babamon immediately turned around to find Tai, Izzy, Agumon, Tentomon and Jijimon arriving just in time. Tagging along behind them was Sora carrying Kari on her back, Biyomon and Gatomon.
"Tai! You guys are here!" Mimi calls out. "Look what we've gotten ourselves into now!"
"It's okay, Mimi," Tai stated as he faced the invaders. "You guys can't be serious about this!"
"More Digi-Destined…? Well this is quite the turn of events…" Gyrogmon snickered to himself.
"Of course, we mean it, boy!" Angiramon exclaimed. "You're in denial! Wake up! You and your petty Digi-Destined comrades are no match for us! Just stay out of our way! You're way out of our league! There's no way you can hang with us!"
"Well, you sure as heck don't scare me!" Babamon shouted.
"Honey! Please, control yourself!" Jijimon helped Joe and Mimi to restrain the crazy old digimon.
"What do you want from this planet anyway?" Gatomon hissed.
"Simple. We're going to launch our armies across the planet during a three-day campaign and convert it into our own personal home," Angiramon answered the feline's question.
"So you children are indeed the Digi-Destined. Those crests and tags are all the proof that I need," Gyrogmon walked through his men and faced the Digi-Destined.
"How do you know about us if you come from another planet?" Izzy asked curiously.
"I don't think it's wise to provoke him with questions, Izzy," Tentomon whispered in the boy's ear.
"It's simple really. I'm a nomad. I've traveled to many worlds and read many tales about human children summon from another dimension to save the universe. I wasn't convinced that there would be. However, as soon as I heard reports that Devimon was defeated on File Island, I wanted to know if the legend was true. So, you've come back to save this planet. You should have stayed in your own world when you had the chance. Otherwise, you wouldn't be sacrificing your lives against my forces."
"Ha! We've come across lots of jerks like you! You're definitely not the first to try to knock us off our feet!" Tai retorted.
"Well, try saying that to these wimps you call partners!" Gyrogmon pointed to Angemon, Zudomon and Lillymon. "My men are ready to blast them into smithereens."
"No! Angemon!" TK cried out in fear of losing his partner again.
"Lillymon!"
"Zudomon!"
"Don't you dare try to harm them!" Tai growled. "Jerks like you sicken me! Leave these people alone!"
"I'm afraid not, boy. I've already come and made my claim to this planet. Without the Holy Beasts, there will be no defenses to stop us. If you children are the best this planet has the offer, then I am sorely disappointed. In fact, I've found the perfect procedure to make sure you whelps stay out of my way!"
"What are you going to do…!" shouted Agumon.
"This!" Gyrogmon laughed as his fist started to glow intensely with neon green ki. "I'll make certain you children stay out of my way!"
"On no! Get back everyone! Hurry!" Angemon warned the group. "His power is growing!"
"That's enough out of you!" Gyrogmon waved his hand out across towards the digimon trio.
By simply waving his hand out, Angemon and the two ultimates were sent directly back to their partners. They began to lose their forms and reverted back to their rookie forms.
"Oh no! Patamon!" TK gasped out as he caught the winged rookie.
"BE GONE, DIGI-DESTINED! HA! HA!" Gyrogmon laughed out heartily as he slammed his fist into the ground.
Once his fist penetrated through the earth, the ground started to crack under the feet of the Digi-Destined. Jijimon and Babamon were immediately pushed aside by Tai in order to prevent them from falling through the ground.
"No! What are you doing?" Jijimon calls out to the goggle boy. "Why are you doing this?"
"You two need to hide away from these monsters! Protect your people!" Tai exclaimed. "Please, go!"
"But…"
"Let's go, Babamon! You heard the boy! We must carry out our responsibility for the safety of our people," Jijimon grabbed Babamon's hand.
"No! Children!" Babamon screamed out.
The ground caved in through and a massive hole was created in the process. The seven children and their partner digimon found themselves falling into what looked like a deep abyss.
"Ha! Well, it seems I've overdone it. Ah, well. That should get them out of the way. Have a nice long trip down into the depths of the abyss, Digi-Destined! The legends have officially been killed by me, Lord Gyrogmon! Ha! Ha!"
…
Meanwhile, the children were falling deeper into the dark abyss. What was worse was the fact that Tai, Izzy and their partners were being separated from the other members of the group. Tai attempted to reach out for Kari.
"TAI! HELP ME!" the girl screamed out in hopes of reaching out for her big brother.
"KARI! GRAB- OH NO! NO!" Tai cried out in horror of losing his sister. "KAAAAAAAAAARI!"
Then, within moments, the group was already becoming split apart and falling through into two separate directions. What will their fates become? There is no telling what dangers lurk within the underground regions.
Having implemented a strike, Gyrogmon and his men have set out to conquer the isolated community first before conquering the entire Digital World. They have but three days to carry out this campaign. Tai and Izzy had recovered the medicine in time, but not enough to save their friends from Gyrogmon's men. What will the fates of the Digi-Destined become? Is there any hope of escaping this predicament and will Kari be reunited with her brother?
(PREVIEW)
Max: Hey, every one! It's Max here! Just when you thought everything would be just fine, it only gets worse. Our heroes have now separated from each other. Tai and Izzy are left to find the others… While Kari's fever seems to be doing better, she and TK manage to find Sora and the others.
Keke: Meanwhile, Gyrogmon and his men have begun to round up the villagers to force them to work into labor. Their comparing is set to begin, but not long as Sora and the others manage to find themselves back on the surface to discover one of Gyrogmon's henchmen, WaruMonzaemon torturing some Numemon. How unforgivable!
Max: Then, suddenly Kari starts glowing! WaruMonzaemon surely won't like this!
Keke: Then we get two invited guests to enter the fray! Andromon and Leomon! Andromon manages to run into Tai and Izzy while Leomon shows up in time to rescue the others from WaruMonzaemon and Gyrogmon's henchmen! Looks like a battle it set to begin next time! The third act of Gyrogmon's Invasion is entitled…
Who is this Mysterious Light? Gyrogmon's Campaign Begins!
Max: I wonder who this being possessing my Aunt Kari really is…
Part two is done and this one was pretty tough to write. I write chapters faster if they have a crap load of action in them. Now, there is some in this chapter but there's more dialogue. Looks like this one turned out just fine. Anyway, looks like this story MIGHT turn out to be six chapters instead. That's four more to go. I hope you guys are finding some similarities to these movie fic with the Machindramon episodes.
Though, of course, there are differences! More action is still to come and it will heat up! Until then, be sure to check back for any updates! Peace!
