I don't own Digimon
The Future Is Now

"Hurry!" shouted Janet. She was running through a white void.
"I am hurrying!" replied Renamon. The fox swept up behind Janet, scooped her up then continued running forward in long, graceful strides. "We should tell them!"
"No, I can't…" Janet shook her head defiantly. "We have to get them out of here!" shouted Janet. "She'll tear them to bits! We have to lure them out of the swamp!"
"I know…I know…" said Renamon. A large window appeared in the white void that showed the image of a nighttime swamp. The fox flashed through the window out into the damp night air.

Jason blinked quietly. A sharp beeping snapped him out of a light doze. He swore at falling asleep again. He grasped his digivice and looked at it.
"Is that...?" whispered Otamamon.
"Yeah, it's Janet, she's…just past us…" said Jason. He narrowed his eyes. "She's moving fast, too."
"Come on we have to wake the others!" yelped the tadpole as he scrambled forward.
Jason's hands grabbed the tadpole and pulled him back tight against his chest, "No, I'm tired of chasing her all over hell, she can come to us!"
"What if she's in trouble?" asked Otamamon the tadpole looked up at Jason with his large black eyes. "She could need us…"
"If she needed us she'd come to us," replied Jason with a growl.
"Plus…" a purring voice called from the trees. "You have a far larger problem on your hands…" Jason looked up. Two emerald eyes gleamed in the moonlight. A shadow dropped down from the tree. It walked forward.
Jason gulped. The digimon was obviously a female. She had a rather buxom upper body, covered barely by a saffron halter top, and a toned, exposed stomach. She had long, lank arms covered in short, black fur; they ended in sharp, curved feline claws on a furred hand. Her emerald eyes looked at Jason and confident smirk played along her crimson lips. Her legs were covered in puffy leopard skinned pants. A pair of black tails with two golden rings that softly clanked against each other, as the tails swayed softly with her forward ambulation. Long triangular ears were perked up and little black tufts at the tips of the ears twitched slightly.
"GUYS GET UP…NOW!" yelped Jason as he stood up. He held up his digivice.
"Pff.." The female lifted her hand and a ribbon of crimson flashed forward snapping Jason's digivice from his hand. "Just die with some dignity…you can't hurt me…"
"I beg to differ," Lucemon was awake and standing up. His fists were clenched. Bastemon twisted her right ear in Lucemon's direction.
"Ah, my toy!" purred the female and she smiled and turned.
"Lucemon…what's going on?" Mark yawned quietly, rubbing his eyes.
"Get back…" said the angel loudly. He stepped in front of Mark.
The others were now stretching and rubbing their eyes. Jason heard Amy gasp in surprise.
"Oh, now I'm going to have to do real work," the female sighed, "and I really wanted this be rather simple, I'm probably going to get blood on my clothes…"
"What clothes she has on," murmured Amy quietly. She blinked. "Who are you anyways?"
"That is Bastemon," replied Lucemon with a little growl.
"Yes, that I am," She extended her arm out and a line of crimson fell from her fingers, "And you, my dear children, are sliced ham. Vampire Dance!"
A ribbon of energy slashed forward. It rolled towards Amy.
"Amy!" Penguinmon yelped. The blue penguin leapt forward. "Penguinmon digivolve to Saberdramon!"
The raven's wings unfurled acting like a shield but the ribbon flashed up and then wrapped around the raven. Saberdramon screamed as she collapsed on the ground reverting to Penguinmon, leaving the swirl of red ribbon empty. Long lines of lacerations circled Penguinmon's body and face. Amy ran up to the penguin and cradled it in her arms and glared at the Bastemon.
"Oh, poo, not quite long enough to slice you in two or more accurately a thousand…" whimpered the woman as she flicked her wrist back, rolling the ribbon back. She held her hand, connected to the ribbon, aloft and turned on her tiptoes. The ribbon swirled over her head. She flicked her wrist again. The ribbon flashed forward.
"Demi Meramon digivolve to Tapirmon!" The elephantine digimon flashed forward before receiving a lashing across his trunk and flying backward against a tree.
"Tapirmon!" shouted Brendan. The boy ran to his companion. "Are you ok?"
"Oo…that did not feel good," whimpered the little tapir.
"That's it!" shouted Kevin. He held his digivice up. "You're done intimidating us!"
"Snow Agumon digivolve to Shima Unimon!" The little white dinosaur glowed brightly and put a hoof forward as a large black and white horse with a red, horned, face mask. "You ready to tango, tart?" The horse growled.
"Oh every girl's dream, a pony to whip!" smirked Bastemon and she pulled back her ribbon and then twisted her wrist and flicked it forward.
"Not so fast!" shouted Kevin he pulled his crest from his shirt. "Do it Shima Unimon!"
"Shima Unimon digivolve to Cyberdramon!" Four crimson wings jutted from the equine digimon as its skin turned from black and white fur to black muscle. Its hoofed front legs turned into strong arms with a large spike that shot from the forearms. The horned, crimson face mask lost the horn and turned a pasty grey. Cyberdramon grabbed the ribbon and yanked, pulling Bastemon forward. He then clenched his fist and gave the female a right cross on the chin. Bastemon twisted and crashed to the ground.
"Oh, how rude," Bastemon stood up. She rushed forward leaping agilely from side to side, disappearing in bursts of speed. Suddenly a clawed fist rammed the chin of Cyberdramon; the dragon growled. Bastemon grunted "to…" a kick the dragon's solar plexus; the dragon gasped. Bastemon was quicker than he thought "strike…" claws sliced across Cyberdramon's face, forcing a snarl of pain. Bastemon growled loudly "a…" A punch connected with Cyberdramon's chest. "LADY!" Bastemon swept her foot around in a round house kick slamming the dragon to the side.
Cyberdramon rose to his feet, his chest was heaving loudly. "You can't stop us. We aren't afraid…"
"Oh, but you should be afraid," smirked Bastemon. She drew her hands together, "Very afraid…" An orange fire ball formed in Bastemon's hand. "Helter Skelter!" the ball exploded forward as yowling fire cats screamed forward leaping at Cyberdramon. The dragon slashed and roared but the flaming felines tackled the dragon and bit him and he glowed a dark red and reverted to Snow Agumon.
"No…way…" gasped Brendan.
"Now, let's see…who should I…ah, you were my friend's little pet…" Bastemon's eyes fell on Michelle. "You really shouldn't have run away, you hurt his feelings…"
Kevin ran in front of the girl, "Don't you dare!"
"Oh, two for the price of one. how, economical!" Bastemon smirked. Snow Agumon was still lying in the mud trying to get up. She lifted her hand and the red ribbon flashed from her fingers.
"Stay behind me, Michelle, I'll protect you!" Kevin looked back at his little sister. Her eyes were wide and tears were in those golden eyes.
"No, how can you, you aren't real…" she sniffed. She shook her head. She closed her eyes. "Please, don't do it…Kevin…"
"Vampire…." The ribbon rolled forward.
"KEVIN NO!" shouted Michelle. She ran up and grabbed Kevin around the waist. A pulse of light shot forward. "I don't want to lose you again!"
"Labramon digivolve to D'Arcmon!" The angel flashed around Kevin and leveled her staff against the ribbon. Kevin and Michelle fell backward from the force of the digivolution. A second pulse of light exuded from the staff hitting the ribbon and sending it rolling back to Bastemon.
The cat woman snarled as he own attack slammed against her and sent her staggering back.
"D-D'Arcmon…" Michelle looked up at the glowing angel. The angel turned her head and smiled with a nod. Michelle looked at Kevin who was sitting on the ground where he fell. Tears filled Michelle's eyes and she hugged her brother
The angel turned to the rising Bastemon, "I would just stay down if I were you, harlot."
"Heh, you think you're so special, don't you?" Bastemon smiled and lifted her hands. "I'll make mince meat out of you like I did you're little friends."
"Not without going through us!" Steven, Jason and Mark walked forward.
"Ryuudamon digivolve to Ginryuumon!" the little lizard glowed and leapt forward as the long necked, black armored, dragon. "Battle Rod Break!" a pulse of energy rammed forward, but Bastemon agilely leapt from the burst, letting it crack a tree trunk.
"Vampire…"
"Otamamon digivolve to, Seadramon!" the blue dragon raged forward slamming Bastemon with the tip of his tail driving her into the ground.
Lucemon flew up brought his hands together in prayer and then opened his eyes. He pulled his hands apart, "Grand Cross!" the X of light dove down exploding into the body crater Bastemon was lying in.
The dust swirled. Suddenly something shot up into the sky pulling a trail of dust with it. "Vampire Dance!"
A curling, twirling ribbon of red sliced through the three attackers dropping them to the ground in one strike. Ginryuumon, Seadramon glowed and reverted to Ryuudamon and Otamamon. Lucemon crashed down in front of Mark. Cuts ran over his chest and arms. They bled softly. Mark ran up to the angel.
"Lucemon!" shouted the boy loudly. Lucemon struggled to get to his hands and knees and then looked at Bastemon as she dropped down deftly on her feet.
"Don't worry, she won't hurt you…" hissed the boy angel. Bastemon smirked at the male angel.
"So defiant, till the last," Bastemon leapt forward with a long loping gate. She lifted her arm and a crimson glow wrapped around her fingers.
"La Pucelle!" A pink bolt of lightning exploded one step in front of Bastemon the cat leapt up and back doing a back flip, and twisted in mid air to land facing D'Arcmon.
"You rude, dog!" growled Bastemon loudly.
"Better to be a rude dog than being an under clothed cat!" growled D'Arcmon as she twisted her staff in her hand.
"You're just mad because you don't have anything to show off," chuckled Bastemon loudly.
D'Arcmon narrowed her eyes. "Oh, that does it!" The angel launched forward, her staff spun in her hand for two seconds before D'Arcmon grasped it and swung forward slamming the head of her staff into the gut of Bastemon.
The cat woman flew backwards striking a tree. Bastemon yowled and flashed her claws and leapt forward. Claws struck metal. A foot hit a blocking arm. The angel and the lynx woman leapt from each other. Bastemon hit the ground and propelled herself forward a line of crimson trailing behind her. D'Arcmon fanned her wings and then pushed forward diving towards the woman.
"La Pucelle!" D'Arcmon swept her staff forward unleashing a blast of pink lightning.
"Vampire Dance!" Bastemon sliced her crimson whip forward.
The two attacks struck each other and the exploded upwards. Bastemon skidded backwards from the blast and D'Arcmon glided backwards. Bastemon hissed and D'Arcmon growled loudly. The two launched into each other scratching, biting and tearing at each other.
"This is starting to get ugly…" hummed Amy as she looked the boys, who were agape at the two feminine digimon that were tearing at each other. Amy narrowed her eyes. "OH, COME ON! THEY AREN'T EVEN HUMAN!"
Bastemon leapt forward. Her claws gleamed in the moonlight.
D'Arcmon spun her staff in front of her. Eight orbs of light appeared in a circle around her. The orbs dropped to the epicenter of the spinning staff. "Battlement D'...ARgh!"
A crimson flash struck D'Arcmon from behind. The angel collapsed to the ground. A digimon appeared from the night sky. It was a winged humanoid. A sword was pointed forward; a red glow was fading from the blade.
888
"They aren't following," sighed Janet quietly. She looked at her digivice.
"They could already be in trouble," replied Renamon. The golden fox looked at her partner, "We must go back, they'll need us!"
Janet pursed her lips and closed her eyes before sighing and nodding, "Yes, let's go."
Renamon scooped up Janet and then disappeared into her kitsune universe.
888
"You, you…cheat!" Michelle was shouting in shock and disgust. The two digimon were now both attacking the canine angel. D'Arcmon was trying her best but she was outnumbered and they were overpowering her from both sides.
D'Arcmon was sent sailing as Bastemon slammed her through a tree. The second digimon appeared behind the canine angel and slammed the hilt of a sword against D'Arcmon's head. The angel crashed to the ground face first. Bastemon landed in front of the angel. Bastemon put her feline foot on D'Arcmon's head and twisted at the ankle rubbing D'Arcmon's face in the dirt.
"D'Arcmon, get up!" screamed Michelle. "GET OFF OF HER YOU WITCH!" screamed Michelle she started forward. The second digimon appeared in front of her. Michelle looked up and gasped and staggered back. Kevin grabbed his sister and held her, pulling her back and putting his body between her and the digimon.
"Get back," growled Kevin. Snow Agumon was running forward, prepared to go to the mat to protect the boy and his sister.
"Fool, you couldn't scare me if you were full grown," sneered the figure. He lifted his sword. "I think I'll slice you in two…"
888
Janet looked out the window; the camp was nothing but a muddy crater. A female cat digimon was rubbing D'Arcmon's head in the mud. A second, black-winged digimon was standing over Kevin and Michelle. It had a sword drawn.
"I think I'll slice you in two," growled the digimon as it lifted the blade.
"NO!" shouted Janet.
"Renamon digivolve to Youkomon!" the golden fox leapt forward as a nine-tailed purpled fox with a black and white-striped collar that curved forward ending in a golden nub on each side of the fox's head. "JAENRYUU!" the collar glowed bright orange and the flames shot down the collar to the nubs and a pair of twin, flaming dragons roared forward twisting around each other. The bird man turned in time to get a chest full of fire dragon and be sent in a shallow arc over Michelle and Kevin and fall into a mud hole. Youkomon slid into a glide twisting to turn on Bastemon. "Demon Fireball!" a purple fire ball shot at Bastemon but the feline leapt out of the way and the ball exploded into a tree.
"So the gang's all here now…" Bastemon landed a short distance from D'Arcmon as the angel glowed and reverted to an unconscious Labramon. She lifted her fingers up. "Let's see I think you're the last one not to be beaten, so let's get on with it. Vampire Dance!" the Youkomon leapt from the spiral of crimson ribbon that sliced into the ground.
The fox rolled in the air, its collar glowed, "Jaenryuu!" the twin dragons slammed Bastemon in the chest.
Bastemon slid across the mud. Youkomon charged forward twisted at the hip and then kicked Bastemon in the face with her lavender, back legs. Youkomon propelled herself upwards with the kick and turned.
The winged swordsman rocketed upwards from his mud hole and sliced forward. Youkomon swept to one side and slammed her front paws into the back of the swordsman and twisted to strike the man again with a fire attack.
"Vampire Dance!" a whip of red slashed Youkomon from behind sending the fox sailing and landing in front of Janet. Bastemon pulled the line back and looked to the swordsman, "Do the honors of finishing them off, my dear…Karatenmon."
The swordsman turned. His beaked face was smiling. His lavender armor glinted softly and his cream colored pants ruffled in the breeze. He lifted his golden sword. His red arm tensed as he lifted it.
"NO!" shouted Janet and she ran in front of Youkomon. "No, you won't hurt them! I won't let you; I love them too much for you to let you hurt anyone anymore!" Youkomon stood and curled around Janet. She pulled her crest from under her shirt. Janet was crying. "Why isn't it working?"
"Committing suicide will not help anyone. I think…" Youkomon grabbed Janet and leapt away as Karatenmon rushed forward with his sword prepared to slice forward.
"I want to help! Why can't I help without getting people hurt!" shouted Janet in anger.
Youkomon put Janet down and then winced. "It's not your fault; you need to stop blaming yourself!" The fox stood in front of Janet. Youkomon glared as Karatenmon landed next to Bastemon. The two Ultimates were smiling at the fox.
"You can't win, you're outnumbered and outmatched," purred Bastemon. "So just give up and make this a lot simpler."
"It doesn't matter how outmatched I am, I will not let you hurt Janet, she is the most important thing in my life, I would rather fight on to protect her than lose her," The fox looked back to Janet. The short haired, girl's eyes were wide in surprise. The fox nodded, "Janet is the most special girl I have met, and I can't let digimon the likes of you take her from me!"
"I-I'm that special to you?" Janet looked at the fox in shock. Tears were in her eyes.
"Of course you are," replied Youkomon. "You always have been, Janet."
"All this bonding is cute and everything, but…I'm afraid it will end now!" growled Bastemon. She leapt forward her crimson whip trailing behind her. Karatenmon wasn't far behind his swords at his side.
"NO! I don't want you to go! I want you to be with me!" Janet shouted loudly. "I love you Youkomon, please…don't die for me, if you love me you won't die!"
Twisting rays of raspberry light flooded forward.
"Youkomon, digivolve to, Taomon!" There was an explosion of light. Bastemon and Karatenmon staggered backward.
Janet looked up at the gold, white and lavender robes, the small hat on top of the fox head, the long armed robes that hung down off of Taomon. It had two huge shoulder spikes. It reminded her of pictures of the Japanese Shinto priests that were in her social studies book at home. The digimon turned and smiled, there was a yin-yang symbol on the chest of the robes and on the long cloth that hung from digimon's waist was a line of golden symbols. Janet's eyes widened. "You're…You're…the…apparition, from File Island!"
Taomon smiled and nodded. "Piximon said you had a lot of love in you."
"Oh, come on and give it a rest already!" shouted Bastemon. The feline growled loudly. "Do you think you'll make any difference, we've already beat your friends down, and you're still outnumbered!"
"Bastemon, I have a present for you," growled Taomon as she turned.
She flicked her arm up and from the sleeves of her robe a long rectangular piece of paper appeared between two, long claws. She threw the paper forward and it snapped over Bastemon's mouth. Bastemon reached up to the paper but her arms froze in the middle of the action. The feline's eyes widened and she moaned through the paper frantically.
Karatenmon looked at Bastemon and then to Taomon and gave a bemused smiled. "Your little tricks may work on my ignorant companion," said Karatenmon, Bastemon's eyes narrowed and shot daggers at the raven man. "I, on the other hand, will not be so easily dispatched with!" The crow drew his swords and launched forward.
Taomon whipped her right arm to her side. One paper flashed from the arms of her robes, a second slid down overlapping on top of the first and then a third and fourth slid out; each one sliding into place so that it lengthened the line of papers. Taomon flashed the rod of paper upwards. It rolled into a baton and then folded itself so that it formed a sharp blade. Karatenmon's swords swept forward and Taomon met the crow's blades with her own paper sword. Taomon pushed forward knocking Karatenmon backwards. The priest fox slashed and cut forward, her bushy golden tail sweeping back and forth with each strike. Karatenmon feverishly tried to block the paper blade. Karatenmon sneered and with a concerted effort sliced the paper sword to bits. Taomon leapt backward as the metallic swords slashed forward missing her finely woven robes.
Taomon swept her arm back and then brought it forward as a swirl of paper wheeled around her hand producing a shield of paper that she held against the twin blades of Karatenmon. The priest pushed forward sending Karatenmon staggering backward. A few pieces of triangular shaped paper glowed gold on the periphery of the shield, and then an inner circle of three triangular pieces of paper glowed bright red around the epicenter. When each paper glowed on the shield, it made the sound of metal falling into slots. When the final piece of paper made its metallic sound; the red and gold glows shifted, moving into the shape of an unknown emblem.
Taomon waited silently. Karatenmon growled and then tore forward. Taomon pulled the paper shield back and then pushed it forward, "Talisman of LIGHT!" the shield vaporized, condensed into a single ball of light and then exploded forward as a beam of light that slammed Karatenmon backward into a tree. Karatenmon groaned loudly. Taomon lifted her arms; between her claws were a multitude of rectangular pieces of paper. "Now, to put you in time out. THOUSAND SPELLS!" She threw the papers forward and then adhered themselves to the tengu. Energy crackled all over the swordsman's body. He struggled against the binding and roared in aggravation. Taomon turned and flicked up a piece of paper and tossed it to the ground. It glowed brightly, growing larger and folding itself into a giant origami crane. "Hurry, everyone get on!"
The children, carefully bearing the weight of their partners climbed onto the crane. Janet was the last to scramble on, as she got on the crane, Karatenmon unleashed an unholy howl and the pieces of paper exploded off of him. Taomon growled and swept up her hand a glowing symbol appeared between her fingers, it was the same symbol that had been on the shield, "Talisman of Light!" another wave of light sent the tirade of feathers rolling backwards. Taomon hopped into the crane and its massive paper wings flapped lifting itself and its cargo off the ground.
"You won't escape!" shouted Karatenmon loudly. He had one of his swords drawn. It was glowing blood red, "Enlightenment!"
Another glowing talisman appeared in Taomon's hand. "Talisman of Light!" the beam of light met the red stream. The two attacks exploded in mid air, the smoke giving the crane cover to escape.

"Mmm, mmm, mmmmmmm!" groaned Bastemon as Karatenmon snarled angrily at the shrinking paper crane. Bastemon narrowed her eyes, "MMMM!"
"WHAT?" shouted the tengu as he turned quickly on Bastemon. Bastemon growled loudly and her eyes glared at the paper on her mouth. Karatenmon blinked, "Oh…" He walked up and ripped it off her mouth.
"OWOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!" screamed Bastemon loudly, "Did you have to rip it off!"
"You're lucky, I could've left it on," said Karatenmon matter-of-factly. He looked at the paper in his hand, "A simple ofuda and its spell incapacitated you."
"Stupid spell papers!" growled Bastemon. "I'll get her next time, 'I have a present for you' my butt!"
"Just be lucky that I was here to save you," said Karatenmon as he turned towards the forest's shadows.
"Oi, you can't leave me here alone!" shouted Bastemon. Karatenmon stopped. Bastemon looked at him, "For that matter how'd you find me?"
"I have my ways, plus Tsukaimon was yelling loud enough you could've heard him from File Island," replied Karatenmon. The shadows swept to one side, "Are you coming?"
"Ah…" Bastemon rushed forward and followed Karatenmon into the shadows.
888
"Don't move so much; let me help you!" chastised Mark as he helped Lucemon from the crane. "You're still bleeding."
"I'll heal, don't fuss so much," groaned Lucemon as he winced when Mark herded him with one arm out of the crane.
"Don't take that tone of voice with me young man!" Mark growled in response wagging the pointer finger of his other hand.
"You know, imprinting from mom doesn't always work, Mark," said Steven as he lifted Ryuudamon.
"Are you ok?" asked Kevin as he lifted Snow Agumon. The white digimon groaned slightly, before glowing bright white and reverting to Koromon. Kevin blinked. "I guess not…"
Brendan was holding Tapirmon against his chest. Michelle had already gotten out and was soaking Labramon in the small spring that the crane had landed by. Amy was next to Michelle gently dabbing the lines of cuts on Penguinmon.
"You know, if someone had said I'd be fighting demons and monsters and the like, I may have believed them," whispered Kevin quietly, "but if that person had said I'd be making my escape on a giant, origami crane…I'd have smacked them upside the head for lying to me."
"We got our asses handed to us," said Jason as held up Otamamon, and looked over the cuts across the tadpole's face, "on a golden platter."
Janet looked back to Taomon and caught the priest digimon glow bright white and revert to Viximon. The little, fox-like, fur ball hopped up into Janet's arms, as she did so the paper crane fell apart.
Janet smiled at Viximon, "You're awesome."
"You're awesomeness allowed for my awesomeness," replied the digimon with a smile. "It was your love for me and your realization of the love that is being given to you that let me digivolve."
Janet blushed brightly and walked to the water and sat down at the pool's edge. Jason sat down next to her. He gently placed Otamamon in the water.
"I'm sorry, I didn't come sooner…" whispered Janet. "You guys got hurt…"
"Don't, it wasn't completely your fault," said Jason. He looked at Janet. "I knew you were nearby, but I decided not to chase you down, it was as much my fault as yours," replied the boy. "We are all depending on each other, to stay on some level of sanity, every once in a while we let each other down, but as long as we continue to care for each other and keep trying, I think we can do more than just stay sane and survive, I think we can win this fight that we seemed to be embroiled in." He looked up at Janet with his deep blue eyes, "Some of us…depend on others more than I think we like to admit…"
Janet looked around the pool. Steven and Mark were holding each other and Kevin and Michelle were taking care of their digimon. Brendan was hovering over Tapirmon like a mother hen. Janet looked at Viximon, then Otamamon then her eyes rose and caught Jason's. She smiled slightly.
"I know," she whispered with a smile and then looked up into the sky. The stars were blazing brightly above them and a single streak of light ripped across the sky. She smiled and closed her eyes.
Brendan's laptop started to ping. The boy ran over to the laptop, Tapirmon sighed in relief as the boy ran to his machine. Brendan gasped slightly, "It's an e-mail, from Gennai…"

AN: Special points for those who can pick out the anime references in this chapter! Disclaimer: Special points are neither all that special or count to any actual score of any sort
Tengu: Is a crow being from Japanese folklore that was wise and was a master swordsman.
Qiviut: Michelle's darkness comes from her belief in the death of Kevin (well that's not all but I'm not giving things away), and as such she tried to hide the truth, ie Kevin is dead at first by denying the universe around her and then by denying Kevin's existence, but when Kevin physically tries to protect her, Michelle's mind finally snaps open to reality and she sees that the Kevin in front of her is the real Kevin, not some hallucination…or mind trick. Maybe I could've made that more clear… I don't know.
Alforce: Michelle's darkness is not completely like Sora's and Yamato's, it's been fed. It is, though, something that is similar at its roots. I liked the final Blossomon scene too. I can see it playing out on TV. Have Tsukaimon looking up and have the light background with the shadow profile of Blossomon being sliced to bits by this crimson ribbon and having the fluids gushing out all over, that is one of those scenes I wish I could see animated. Kind of want to see this chapter animated too, just to see the sword fight…
