Kainus: What?! It's already been a week? It's a miracle! - I'm not going to leave you guys out and force you to wait for another month for the next Pharaohmon chapter! I'm not evil like that. Well, since I've been told that I can't write long dialogue messages before every chapter, I can't answer any more questions on my fics. If you can, just send me your questions through e-mail. I don't wanna have ff.net pull my story off. -.-
Coral: Without further ado, let's just get on with the fic. By the way, Inumon, Yui and Himura rightfully belong to Youkai Youko. Thanks for everything, Youko.
Kanius: Enjoy the action! This especially goes to you, Kaiba fans. - You'll get a kick out of this one.
The Shinjuku Battle Royale! Huh, the Revival of the Blue-Eyes White Dragon?!
Lance smirked as he faced Yui and Himura. However, Hell Inumon jumped out in front of the siblings like a guard dog. The possessed teen slowly approached them patiently.
"Now which one of you shall I dispatch first," Lance said as a blade materialized in his right hand. "Shall I take your heads as prize trophies? Nah. That would be too easy. I'll simply just rip every limb off of your bodies. Yes, that's much more preferable."
"If you want them, then you're going to have to go through me first!" Hell Inumon growled. "I'll die before you ever lay a hand on them!"
"Then, I shall give you what you desire! Death it is!"
Hell Inumon stood his ground in front of the siblings. He did not take his eyes off of the heartless demon. Lance brandished his blade and licked it. The next round to this showdown was well underway.
Unknown to them, a pair of witnesses were looking on from behind a bulletin board. One figure was revealed to be a golden-armored female with a staff in one hand and the other was a knight with the familiar hazard ensigna on its battle shield.
"Finally, we've found him," the female said. "Those kids are in danger, Gallantmon."
"As long as their digimon partner holds him off, we'll make our move. We'll wait until the time is right."
"Right. Now we can finally flatten this bastard."
Gallantmon took a closer look towards the enemy. He examined Lance from a farther angle and got a good look at his face. As soon as he looked at Lance, Gallantmon gasped at the identity of their enemy. Sakuyamon wondered why Gallantmon was in a sudden sock.
"What is it, Gallantmon?"
"Takato! What's wrong? Did you just discover something about our enemy?"
"You guys won't believe this… That guy… So, he's been behind this?!"
"Just spill it! Who are we dealing with?"
"Here, take a look for yourself. You'll be in for a surprise."
"Fine. Maybe then, you'll be giving me the suspense treatment."
Sakuyamon walks over to Gallantmon's side and peers over to glare at their 'enemy'. Like Gallantmon, her expression changed. She couldn't believe that the one person they would least expect to be the evil mastermind would be a person they had recently met.
"Him?! How can it be him?!"
"Ok, are you convinced?"
"But how? How can that kid be Pharaohmon? He simply could be another pawn."
"Just call it a hero's intuition," the knight replied.
"Yeah, intuition. I'll leave it to you on that."
Gallantmon took another glare towards Lance and simply could not understand how a teenager would be in it with Pharaohmon.
"How can this guy side with a scumbag like Pharaohmon?! Doesn't he realize that he's helping that nutcase try to destroy our home planet?"
"Well, then. Let's go out and do what we always do. We confront him and try to talk him out of it. I'm sure we can save him before Pharaohmon wastes him."
"I still can't believe it. How can we fight another human being? It's almost as if I'm killing a best friend," Gallantmon said. "I mean we just meet this kid several days ago."
"Suck it up, goggle head. We don't have to fight him. I'm sure we can talk him out of it. Now, what's it going to be?"
"We've had no problems killing other digimon and programs, but other human beings? Yeah, I'm sure we can just talk him out of it."
Takato looks back to the day when he and his friends met Lance for the first time. It's almost been several days ago since that meeting. The goggle head remembered as if it were yesterday.
"I remember introducing myself to him. That was the same day in which we had to deal with another Megidramon. His name is Lance…"
Flashback
Takato takes notice of Lance and tilts his head.
"Who's the guy?" Takato asked.
"Oh, I just might him when I got here. I thought he was simply a stalker, but he happens to be big fan of mine. Though I really can't believe I actually have fans. His name is Lance."
"Pleased to meet you, Takato. So you're the boy this girl has told me about."
"Um, yeah. The pleasure is all mine. So, what are you doing here anyway?"
"I was going to catch up on my sleep. By the way, is that thing a digimon?"
Takato gasped as he had forgotten to put on a proper disguise for Guilmon. The boy put his hand over his mouth and cursed under his breath.
"It's ok. I'm not going to scream and cause a scene," Lance replied. "Wow, I really thought I'd see one up close. The only time I've seen them was through the television broadcasts about a year ago."
"It's all right. This one won't even hurt a fly. C'mon here, boy!" Takato calls out.
"Coming, Takatomon!"
Guilmon rushed over towards Takato and stops at his side. The digimon looks up at Lance and extends his hand.
"I'm Guilmon. What's you're name?"
"The name is Lance. It's nice to meet a digimon up close."
"He's a nice guy, Takatomon. I like him."
"Even Guilmon liked the guy. It's such a shame that we have to deal with a human who's supposedly sold his soul to Pharaohmon. Or is there something about this kid that we are unaware of?"
End of Flashback
"Gallantmon. Stay focused. Even if he was a kid we met, we still have to stop him. It's our responsibility to ensure the survival of our planet. If Pharaohmon continues to gather more power, then we're screwed."
"You're… You're right… It is our responsibility… We can't let this guy off the hook…"
"Don't worry. Maybe we can some information out of him concerning Pharaohmon."
"Hey, those kids are definitely in the way. That's going to be a problem," Gallantmon said. "Then again, their digimon partner seems to be handling the situation. Let's just see how everything drags out from here. We'll go in once that digimon looks like he's about to be done in."
"All right. He had just better not let those kids get hurt."
The Tamer megas stood by away from the battle. They watched on and made sure that either the enemy or Inumon wouldn't notice them.
Meanwhile, Hell Inumon charges out towards Lance and unleashes a claw slash. Lance leaps away and dodges each claw slash. Himura rushed over to hold Yui back.
"Cover your eyes, Yui! This isn't a battle you should watch!"
"But Inumon is in trouble. You need to call him off. There's something about this boy that is giving me the chills."
"You told me that he's being possessed by a spirit?"
"Is that even remotely possible? Well, whatever he is… He's putting up quite an offense against Inumon. We underestimated the guy."
Hell Inumon lands on his feet to catch his breathe. None of his attacks were able to penetrate through Lance's superior defense barrier. The canine didn't ever think that a human, let alone a possessed one, would ever push him near his limit.
"Damn, I didn't think I'd get my butt handed by a human. Hey, Himura?! I can't recall dealing with humans on my contract. This is just something new as my duty as a digimon partner…"
"I don't know. Digimon are not supposed to fight humans, but he directed the first aggressive attack on us. Besides, I can't risk what this maniac will attempt to do to Yui."
"You've got a point. Damn, this really sucks to be me," Hell Inumon said while struggling through the threshold.
There was a sudden chuckle within the air and it was coming from Lance. The teen walks over to the injured Hell Inumon. The champion-level digimon leaps at Lance and delivered a head butt into his gut. This caught even Lance by surprise. Himura and Yui were astonished by Inumon's sudden resurgence.
"I'm not about to let you harm my partner and Yui! They mean more to me than life itself!" Hell Inumon growled. "I'll die before you lay a hand on them!"
"Oh, so you are willing to die for your friends? Then allow me to escort you towards death's doors," Lance retorted.
The teen raised his hand over Hell Inumon and gathered enough energy to form an energy sphere. Hell Inumon saw the forming sphere and slaps the teen's hand away. Lance's energy sphere was sent sailing up into the heavens.
"Way to go, Inumon!" Himura calls out. "Now, he's open!"
"You've got him! Go! Go!" Yui cheered.
"Damn it! Where did he gain this second wind? He should have been weakened! Normally, any digimon has to digivolve to do so. Unless… Yes… His partner and that girl are in the way. They must be disposed of. Why didn't I think of that earlier? If that's the case, then they will be extinguished."
Hell Inumon raises his head and unleashes a heavy electric burst. The blast is directed towards Lance. All of a sudden, Lance rushes over towards the blast as if he had already lost his any sense of his own sanity.
"What is he doing?! Does he want to die already?" Himura wondered.
"Good! I hope he gets what's coming to him," Yui said.
"What is he up to? He knows my Black Thunder will kill him. He must have some form of strategy. No, I have to take this chance to put him down! I must protect Himura! I have to protect Yui!"
As soon as Hell Inumon put more power to his electric burst, Lance put his new strategy to good use. The teen moves away at the last second. This forced Hell Inumon to turn and direct his attack against Lance. Like a homing missile, the electric burst follows Lance towards the direction where Himura and Yui stood.
"Oh my god!! Himura! Yui!!"
"Heh, you've fell for my trap, you simple-minded mongrel."
Lance leaps up and allows the electric burst to pass by. The siblings looked on with utter horror as Hell Inumon's attack was heading towards them. The canine was utterly in disbelief.
"Himura! Yui! You have to move! Oh no!"
"Have a nice trip to the after life, mammals!" Lance laughed with cold-blooded malice.
"SHIELD OF THE JUST!!"
Suddenly, a loud cry echoed from the background and a massive energy blast shoots out from another direction. The blast knocks away Hell Inumon's Black Thunder and sends it away from the siblings. Everyone, including Lance, turned to see a knight with a massive lance and shield.
"Ugh! It's them!" Lance thought. "Were they spying on me?! I should have brought along my minions to provide security!"
"Himura! Yui! Are you okay?!" Hell Inumon said while rushing over to his friends. "That creep tricked me! I should have just attacked him head on. I'm so foolish."
"You did everything you could to stop him," Himura said. "But who is this guy? Wait, he looks familiar."
"Oh my gosh! Himura, don't you remember who he is? He's that digimon who fought that pink blob a year ago! We saw him and other digimon on the television news!"
"Hey, you're right! Wow, who would have thought? We were saved by local heroes."
"Are you two all right?" a feminine voice calls out.
The source of the voice belonged to Sakuyamon. Hell Inumon turned around to find the golden-armored female. His heart started beating fast while his tail wagged.
"Her scent is familiar. Hey, she's that Renamon! I can't believe that's her! Wow, what a mega form… Wait, until I pull out the big guns and show her my mega form… Ok, resist all temptation, Inumon…"
Lance leaps away and faces off with his newest oppositions. Gallantmon raised his lance and targets the teen.
"Well, if it isn't Gallantmon. Pharaohmon has told me so much about you," Lance said. "Good, I'll trick these fools thinking I'm a pawn to my own scheme."
"Lance! Is that you? If it is, then please listen," Gallantmon calls out. "You are being used by Pharaohmon! You are being deceived into carrying out his evil deeds."
"What do you know? Were you spying on me, Takato?"
"You've realized my identity."
"I don't have to know, especially since I've gained information from Pharaohmon. You have no business intruding with my assignment. I'm given an opportunity to convince Pharaohmon that some humans are willing to sell their souls in order to ensure their survival. I'm sort of his guinea pig at the moment."
"But you are putting yourself at great risk," Sakuyamon calls out. "Please, realize the mistake you are making. Pharaohmon could give a damn about you."
"Sorry, Rika, but I've made the right choice. Everyone has a path to choose. It may be the right or the wrong path, but it's a choice nonetheless. I've made my decision. By Pharaohmon's orders, you have to die."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lance puts his hands out in front of him. He gathered enough power and started to form separate small spheres. He then condensed them into drill-shaped spears. With a single hand wave, Lance sends the tiny spears towards Gallantmon and Sakuyamon.
"Gallantmon! Look out!" the golden-armored mega calls out.
"Likewise!" Gallantmon responded.
The tiny spears directed themselves towards Gallantmon, but the mega was able to put up his shield in defense. Sakuyamon waved his staff and a blossom-petal barrier shielded her from the blasts.
"That was a close one!" exclaimed Gallantmon. "He's really serious about this. I still don't agree that we should attack him."
"Look, I don't think I should be butting into your little conversation, but I think you should drop these feelings that are holding you back," said Hell Inumon. "If I were you, I would do something to stop before. This guy nearly killed my friends over there. You can't let a psycho get the hell away with it."
"He's right! He didn't show any regrets when he almost forced Inumon's shot to kill my brother and I!" Yui cried out with tears. "Don't you dare hold back…"
"What am I supposed to do? Should I really kill him? I can't take the life of another human being. No, I can't," Takato thought.
Lance leaps away and finds himself a light post to stand on. He catches his balance and glares down on his opposition.
"Is this convenient? He refuses to kill this vessel. This simply makes my job a lot easier. How can I so enjoy tormenting this poor fool's mind? He's clearly not fit to be a warrior of justice. They wouldn't hesitate to kill their enemies. I know for a fact that the Digital Priestess didn't show remorse towards my actions. This boy will make a mistake. He refuses to attack another human."
While the trio of digimon argued over the situation, Lance clapped his hands in amusement. The digimon's attention was diverted. The possessed teen simply smirked while crafting another scheme for his adversaries.
San Francisco. An area within the middle city district. 12:20 P.M.
After spending nearly the last thirty minutes fleeing, Sailor Mercury found an abandoned warehouse and brought Cammy along. The young girl sighed a relief and sat down on a box.
"I really hope he doesn't find us here," Sailor Mercury said.
"I know. That was scary. Ah, I feel better."
"Are you okay, Cammy?"
"Yes, thank you. It's really cool that I'm finally meeting a Sailor Senshi up close and personal. I never thought I'd see one here in America."
"There's always a first," she replied with a friendly smile.
"Um, I need to ask you a question. You have to be honest with me, okay?"
Sailor Mercury replied with a nod and sits next to Cammy. The younger girl cleared her throat and stretched her feet out.
"You supposedly are a suspect to these monsters. There's an evil mastermind by the name of Pharaohmon. According to information from my allies, Pharaohmon has sent minions to capture you. They fear you might have had a confrontation from an event in the past."
"That's strange. I don't recall anything of the sort. In fact, I don't see how I got involved with those monsters. Maybe, they're looking for the wrong person."
"No, it's been confirmed. Tell me. Do you have an older sister?"
"Huh? Well, my father has told me. I've only seen her pictures. She's really pretty. I hope to meet her soon."
"I'm sure you will, Cammy. All you have to do is hope. I'm sure she really wants to meet you."
"Does she even know that she has a sister? I mean she probably hasn't received a picture of me."
"I can't believe Rei's father hasn't gone out of his way to tell her about Cammy. What kind of a father would keep sisters apart from each other? This little girl deserves to see her sister. Oh, Rei… I feel terrible for you."
"Um, excuse me. So, how's it like being a Sailor Senshi? I bet it's really exciting."
"Yes, it can be exciting but very dangerous. I have a responsibility just like the other Senshi."
"That's great. I wish I was a Sailor Senshi."
"Actually…"
But just as Sailor Mercury was about to speak, she was rudely interrupted by loud footsteps from outside the warehouse. The blue-haired warrior grabs Cammy's hands and takes her towards a row of piled boxes. She holds Cammy close to her and hid within the darkness.
"Shh, keep quiet," Sailor Mercury whispered.
"Is it him? That monkey?"
"Yes. Keep quiet."
The Sailor warrior was correct on her assumption. Babimon was searching around the warehouse area and sniffed the air around him. His screams were scary enough for Cammy to hold tightly onto Sailor Mercury.
"Don't worry, Cammy."
"I will not let him get to you. I promise."
"Where the hell are those puny little insects?! Damn that sailor soldier. If she hadn't interfered, I would have captured that girl right now. Heh. However, they can't hide their scent. I predict that they are hiding within this confined facility."
Babimon stopped in front of the warehouse and raised his fists. With one gigantic inhale, the baboon demon unleashed a powerful energy burst, which penetrated through the front entrance. Sailor Mercury and Cammy gasped in fear as soon as the sunlight penetrated through the darkness. Babimon tore through the entrance to create a doorway large enough for him.
"I know you are in here! Come out and we shall make this easier on both of us. Sailor soldier, here's a proposal. If you hand me the girl, then I shall spare you and we'll simply forget about what happened."
"Sailor Mercury. You can't hand me to this monster. You just can't."
"I won't. You have my word on that, Cammy."
"Thank you."
Knowing that the sailor warrior wouldn't respond, Babimon lets out an angry cry and smashes his way through the piles of boxes. Cammy whimpered under her breathe. Sailor Mercury held Cammy tightly without letting go.
"So be it! I shall destroy this facility and force you to come out! Either way, the girl shall be apprehended."
"No! He's going to destroy this warehouse. I have to get us out of here. If I expose himself, then he will surely kill me. I haven't worked my powers against a titan such as him. It's worth a try. But I can't put Cammy at anymore risk. This is going to be a difficult decision on my part."
Sailor Mercury faces Cammy. The young girl wondered what the warrior had in mind. However, she knew Sailor Mercury would ensure her safety despite whatever she had in mind.
"Whatever she has planned, I will trust her judgment," Cammy said in thought. "I wonder if she'll help me eventually find my sister, Rei."
"Cammy, look behind you. There's a door open. If you take that route, you should find somewhere outside to hide. You leave this beast with me."
"But that monster is too strong. How can you possibly hope to face him alone?"
"I've dealt with many formidable adversaries before. I may not have my fellow Senshi at my side, but I need to prove myself that I can handle this alone. You are more important, Cammy. You're safety is my first priority. Now, go."
Cammy nods in agreement and quickly rushes out towards the open door. She stopped to look to where Babimon was searching. The baboon had his back completely turned away. This gave Cammy the opportunity to escape out. Babimon felt a slight vibration from within the air and turned around. He barely missed Cammy, but came into contact with Sailor Mercury. The blue-haired warrior started making her way toward the angry beast.
"Where is the girl, Sailor warrior?! Tell me now or suffer the consequences. I'm not here to play games."
"She's not here. It's only you and me, monster. I'm not going to let you put your hands on that girl. What you are doing is unforgivable. As the Sailor Soldier of Mercury, I will wash you down with my element of water."
"Why is it that you girls intend to use repetitive phrases? I'm not at the least intimidated."
"I have to keep my distance and use my water elements to slow him down. However, his size will give him quite the advantage. Without Cammy around, I can fight him with my absolute best."
"You can't hide your strategy from me forever. I can visibly read your mind."
"Say what?!"
"You plan on attacking me with long-range attacks to slow me down? Sorry, but you will need to formulate a better strategy than that, child."
Sailor Mercury looked back towards a stack of crate boxes. She made her way towards them slowly, but without hesitation. The baboon slowly approaches her cautiously. The warrior rushes over towards another stacked row and delivers a kick to them. Her kick's force was enough to send the boxes collapsing down on Babimon. The beast easily tore his way through the boxes. He smashes his way with closed fists and powerful mouth blasts.
"That should at least slow him down. I can drag him out of this facility."
While running out through the doorway created by the monster, Sailor Mercury fled out and pulls out her mini-computer. She started to scan Babimon's form and examined his structure. It was made out to be completely digital, since his body is made from data. She had hoped to find Babimon's weakness, but she failed to gain anything from her mini-computer.
"Strange, his body isn't organic. It's completely digital, but I should still be able to find his weakness."
Unfortunately, time was not on Sailor Mercury's side as Babimon came crashing out from the abandoned warehouse. The unwary crowds fled from the scene and thus caught the attention of Babimon.
"Noisy insects!"
"Hold it! You're opponent is me!" Sailor Mercury calls out. "Don't you bring these people into our confrontation! Let's settle this."
"Fine, have it your way then."
With that said, Babimon rushes towards Sailor Mercury and smashes his fist to where she once stood. The baboon looked up to find Sailor Mercury leaping up on top of a light post. He knocks down the post with a single hand swipe, which the sailor warrior was able to jump away in time. Babimon fires a powerful mouth blast and targets her. Mercury turned and barely hops away from the blast.
"Not bad. You seem to anticipate my every attack. I'll give you credit, since any normal opponent would have been vaporized. Unfortunately, your luck is about to run out short!"
"We'll see! I'm not even getting started yet!"
"Good, because I'm hoping you can provide me with some entertainment. This shouldn't take long and I'll be off to find the girl. Crushing any insect like this one should be a simple matter."
On another side of the city district
The limousine was heading out towards the area where Babimon was attacking. Inside the limo were the Kaiba brothers. Seto kept that same smug look and his arms were crossed. He was truly anticipating the very moment he would step out and put an end to this so-called 'publicity stunt', or so he says.
"Hey, brother. Do you really possibly think that this giant baboon is a publicity stunt? I don't even see any cameramen or actors. Heck, there's not even a set. These people are definitely running for their lives."
"This is just a sham, Mokuba. I doubt that a giant monkey would even show up one day and decide to trash this city. I don't even want to hear the Egyptian God monster excuses, either. Those were merely freak acts of nature. Nothing more. This giant baboon is no different from those projectiles."
"But, shouldn't we investigate from a farther distance? I don't think it's wise to go up close and personal."
"Nonsense. This is the only way I can prove that this monkey is a fake."
"Doesn't he not remember what happened at Battle City? Those Egyptian god monsters may have been real, or it could have been just my imagination. They were just projectiles."
"Limo driver. Speed it up. We're not going to miss out on this."
"Yes, Mr. Kaiba."
As soon as the limo driver pressed on the gas pedal, Seto's eyes widened as several images appeared through his eyes. These flashback images looked very familiar. He remembered seeing them at the moment he had a duel with Ishizu. That was during the Battle City semi-finals. Seto shook off every thought of those 'images' and returned to reality.
"Seto, what's the matter?" Mokuba asked with concern.
"Nothing. I just felt light-headed."
"Maybe we should turn back."
"Nonsense. We're going to investigate this. I'm going to convince everyone that this is a cheap publicity ploy used to try to shut down my company. Damn conspirators will do anything to tarnish the Kaiba name."
The limo passed by many avenues and shops along the way. There was one noticeable figure that chose not to flee from the city district. This individual has black, spiked-up hair with bangs covering parts of his face. His attire included a black t-shirt with matching black pants, a red vest over his shirt, his fore head is covered by a red bandana and his boots matched the color of his pants. His eyes are grass green with moderate-sized pupils. This teenage boy is the worldwide famous creator of Dungeon Dice Monsters, Duke Devilin.
Duke came to America to help promote his Dungeon Dice Monsters game throughout the country. Despite this, his tour in San Francisco has been put to a halt ever since Babimon started attacking parts of the city.
"Hey, isn't that a limo from Kaiba Corp? That must be Kaiba! I heard he came to America for some reason. What a coincidence? He's going out to where that crazy monkey is running rampant. I had better check this out. Besides, that banana-brain ruined my tour and no one gets away with it!"
Duke hopped onto his a black motorbike, which he had recently purchased during his tour. He got on and turned on his engine. He follows up Kaiba's limo to where Babimon was attacking.
"Who knows? Maybe this will be pretty interesting. I doubt even Kaiba has a snows ball chance in hell trying to tame this monkey. If this thing happens to be real, then his Blue Eyes isn't going to do crap."
Duke's bike sped up faster through the streets and stopped to find the limo being parallel parked against a sidewalk. The Dungeon Dice creator parked his motorbike towards another sidewalk and flees into hiding.
"There they are. Ok, Kaiba. Let's just see what you're made of, hot shot."
Shibuya District, Japan. Shibuya Market Area
The three Inner Senshi were investigating numerous area of the Shibuya area. They had found evidence of Scrabmon that once patrolled the streets. They weren't very successful in their search and found no traces of any recent enemy occurrences.
"It's no use, Mars," Sailor Jupiter said with a sigh.
"Pharaohmon most likely moved every one of his Scrabmon to America. Don't you think?" Sailor Venus wondered.
"Yeah and we're wasting our time. Ami is alone and doing everything she can to protect my sister. I just pray that they make it out. I couldn't stand the thought of my sister being held captive by those monsters."
"Don't worry, Rei. Ami will carry out her promise. She's the brain of the team. They will pull through. It's a shame we can't use teleport over without Sailor Moon."
"Jupiter. That's really assuring hearing that from you. Arigato," said Sailor Mars.
Suddenly, the three sailor warriors felt a disturbance from within the air. They quickly turned and found themselves facing off with Agunimon and his fellow legendary warriors. Fairymon and Chakkoumon stood by his side. Blitzmon, Wolfmon and Lowemon were standing behind the trio. Sailor Mars walks up to Agunimon in a stare down.
"What do you want, Agunimon?" the raven-haired beauty asked.
"We need to talk."
"Can't it wait? We're on an important assignment."
"Well, I suppose, but we've been having our run-ins with the four latest legendary warriors."
"You might recall Ranamon and Mercuremon, right?" Agunimon asked.
"Yes, I remember. What about them? Have you been able to find out their true identities?"
"We've been unsuccessful," Fairymon replied. "However, I think it would be best if we kept an eye out for them."
"There's a good chance if we work together and pick up some clues to try to crack down on their identities. We know that they are human, but the question is if we can really trust them," Wolfmon said.
"Sure, we'd be happy to help," Sailor Venus replied. "Besides, We haven't run into anymore of Pharaohmon's minions recently."
"I find that odd. Where the heck are those annoying bugs?" Blitzmon wondered.
"Blitzmon, you shouldn't go calling yourself annoying," Agunimon teased.
"What are you… Hey, I resent that!"
"We'll let you know if anything turns up," Sailor Mars said with a snap. "What we are doing now is more important than finding out those warrior's identities. I have a family member and a friend in trouble in America as it is."
"Whoa, we didn't know!" Agunimon retorted. "A family member? You mean to tell us that the Scrabmon have fled to America? Why are you even standing around? If you were any family, you would go and save whomever is in trouble!"
"How can I if we can't teleport over there without the whole sailor team?!" Sailor Mars snapped. "I have a friend helping me rescue my sister!"
"Oh, I see. Well why didn't you ask any of our help? We could have digivolved into our beast forms and helped you cross over from here to America?"
"Look, I don't need your help. My sister is in good hands as long as my friend is there. I'm sure they will turn out just fine."
"Poor, Rei. I can understand how she feels," Fairymon thought. "She's doing everything she can to help her sister. If only we would have learned sooner, we would have helped her."
Sailor Mars turned away from the warrior digimon and walked off. Jupiter and Venus attempted to call her back to no avail. Sailor Mars seemed to want to have some time spent to herself to think over the chaotic situation.
"No, I don't need their help. I didn't ask for it. Ami is doing everything she can. My sister… You had better get out of there alive… Pharaohmon, you've pushed me too far… You've caused too much pain on everything that has ever crossed you. I promise we will meet again. You were only lucky to have survived my wrath, but next time I will finish where I left off."
With one gasp of air, Sailor Mars let out a heart-felt cry, which echoed throughout the city. Birds flew away in the masses from her cries and people started to wonder where the cries were coming from.
"I've never heard such a heart felt cry," Sailor Jupiter said. "Mars has rarely shown this much emotion, though there were instances. Pharaohmon has really struck where it hurts her the most."
"I feel for her," Sailor Venus replied with a sigh. "Poor thing…"
"Don't worry. We'll get Pharaohmon. Mark my words," Agunimon assured everyone. "He's not going to get away with these crimes."
Looking on from a farther distance was the feline digimon, Felinismon. She listened to their entire conversation with a smile.
Shinjuku. Shinjuku Central Park. 6:40 P.M.
Following an incident from the park, a massive group of people started fleeing from the park. The only reason for this was Brimstone, the fiery monster, had shown up to make his presence felt. He has yet to inflict any damage to the park, but the crowds did not hesitate to flee. Anyone with a brain would run from a massive demon, except perhaps individuals with super powers.
In this case, there wasn't anyone around to stop him. Brimstone was free to do whatever he so pleases. That is until he felt a pair of energy signals. Brimstone looked around to find no traces of such individuals emitting these energy levels.
He simply shrugged it off and walked off into another direction. Suddenly, he was interrupted by a single energy shot. Brimstone watched as the blast penetrated through a tree. The tree was then incinerated to the ground.
"How's it going, neighbor?!" a punk-like voice calls out.
Brimstone turned around and found a teenager with slicked back hair. This was none other than the famous spirit detective, Yusuke Urameshi. The armored demon turned completely around and stretched his arms out.
"I didn't think there would be anymore of you weirdos hanging around here. Did Pharaohmon send for you?"
The monster did not reply to the arrogant teen and remained frozen.
"Got a hearing problem? Maybe I can rearrange that face of yours and knock some damn sense into you."
"Don't waste your time, detective. He's not going to comply to such a threat."
"Huh? Now you're here, Hiei?!"
Yusuke immediately turned to his left hand side and saw Hiei standing. The detective simply smirked by the demon's surprise appearance.
"I've been following this monster and done my own investigation."
"By the way, how's your arm doing?"
"Not that it matters, but I should handle well."
"Heh, typical Hiei. You don't reveal your weaknesses to anyone."
"You're a fast one, detective. Now, let's focus on the matter at hand. Brimstone, if you were any kind of a warrior, you will accept our challenge."
"What? Me and Hiei working together? Well, that's a first."
"I can assure you, detective. This will probably be the only time. If my arm was completely healed by now, I would have taken this thug myself."
"That's big talk coming from an injured warrior," the massively armored beast underneath his face mask. "You wouldn't have beaten me either way. You do need all the help that you can get. Now, I'm you two will provide me with the entertainment I desire."
"Ha, that's a lot coming from someone who's sure of himself," Yusuke threatened. "After we kick your ass, maybe you'll reconsider ever facing us again."
"Oh, I think I know what I'm doing. I can assure you fools that."
With that said, Brimstone levitated a few feet from the surface and a fiery aura formed around his body. Yusuke and Hiei braced themselves. At the same time, they were feeling out Brimstone's battle aura.
"We might be in some serious crap," Yusuke insisted. "That's okay. I've been without action anyway. What about you?"
"I can handle, but don't expect me to be covering for you at all times."
"I don't expect you to."
"Now, let us begin! Prepare to meet oblivion!"
The two spirit detectives stood their ground while preparing themselves for Brimstone's upcoming attack. Hiei pulls out his sword and Yusuke readies his Spirit Gun. Brimstone flies out towards his two adversaries with fists coated with fiery auras.
Eastern Shinjuku District. 6:45 P.M.
Several explosions erupted from many parts of the street area. Lance is seen flying across the district and unleashes an array of energy blasts. Gallantmon and Sakuyamon put up their defensive weapons to block off the shots. Hell Inumon rushes to Himura and Yui while covering them. He took several painful shots to his back.
"Inumon!"
"It's all right, Himura. I've taken a bigger ass-whooping than this. Ow, that hurts… Ekk… Ouch… Damn that almost burned my butt!"
"I hate that guy! He's mean!" Yui cried out. "He loves hurting others."
"I mean what you mean," Himura replied. "But when is he going to stop with this offensive assault? He's not even giving us time to make a move."
"Sakuyamon. I've got an idea."
"Spill it. I'm not sure if I can hold up my barrier any longer. His assaults are continuous."
"I want you to fly around him and distract him. Maybe once you distract him, I can catch him off guard with a Lighting Joust."
"I thought you were against hurting him."
"I am and I don't ever want to hurt another human. But, we could save Lance if we stun him long enough to break him free of Pharaohmon's control."
"It's worth a shot. Ok, I'm in."
"Make sure and tell the dog to help you out. We're going to need everyone's support."
"Right."
"Hey, you! You're name is Inumon right?!"
Hell Inumon's ears perked out as his name was called to him. He faced the two bio-merged megas.
"Yeah. That's my name. What is it? My butt's been scorched!"
"I want you and Sakuyamon to distract Lance. I know it sounds insane, but trust me. I know what I'm doing."
"Whatever, I just want to get back to him for trying to hurt my friends! Ok, I'm game."
"Let's get moving right away," Sakuyamon said.
"Ok, Inumon. Resist. Must resist all temptations," the canine thought with a smirk. "Urge to control myself rising…"
(Play Step Up by Drowning Pool from The Punisher soundtrack)
Sakuyamon leads off and flies out at Lance. The possessed teen quickly saw his adversary coming and maneuvers away to the side. Hell Inumon follows in pursuit as he leaps up with graceful agility. Lance managed to turn and toss an energy sphere towards Hell Inumon.
"I don't think so, jack! Black Thunder!"
The canine digimon sends out his patented lighting technique and swaps the sphere away. The evil teen growls in frustration, but was then caught off guard by Sakuyamon's staff shot. The staff shot sends Lance sailing across.
"Now! Get him!" Sakuyamon exclaimed.
Gallantmon nods his head and points his saber directly at Lance. The mega knight sends out a powerful energy blast through the tip of his lance sword.
"Lighting Joust!!"
Lance screams out as the blast came towards him with quick ferocity. He was then engulfed by the blast and cries out in agony like never before.
"No! What if I made a mistake?!" Gallantmon calls out. "I just blasted a human being!"
"Wrong, he's been put under Pharaohmon's spell. He wouldn't cooperate," Sakuyamon explained.
"That's what you get for attempting to hurt my friends," Hell Inumon said under his breath. "Himura! Are you two all right?"
"Yeah. We're fine," the boy responded. "Yui should be fine, too. Are you going to be all right?"
"I feel a lot better after Inumon took care of that bad boy."
Suddenly, there was a sudden chuckle heard from within the air. The digimon picked up on this chuckle as it slowly turned into that of evil laughter. The digimon were shocked at the turn of events that came to unfold. Their combined effort was not enough to put down Lance.
"It can't be! How is was he able to take all of that?!" Gallantmon exclaimed.
"Because he's a bad guy. They have a better excuse to take a beating and keep on ticking," Hell Inumon muttered.
"Oh, very observant," the cynical Sakuyamon replied.
"These pathetic fools still do not realize whom they are dealing with. I can't believe they are still buying the crap I've spewed out. They are nothing more than just putty in my hand," Pharaohmon said in Lance's thoughts. "I'm just about fed up with this. I'm going to part them my farewell."
"Lance! It's not too late! You can change your ways!" Gallantmon calls out.
"Don't try to convince this guy," Himura said. "He has no heart. He tried to kill me and probably had intentions of causing harm to my sister."
"He's right. We have to put him down right now. If we let him off the hook, what are the chances that he won't coming looking for us when our guards are down?" Hell Inumon stated promptly.
The villain levitated on the ground and simply chuckled. His adversaries were busy arguing with one another and ignored the fact that he was around.
"So, have I been forgotten? I'm feel so left out," Lance said.
"We haven't forgotten about you! You have to end your partnership with Pharaohmon. He will end up disposing of you once your services expire," Sakuyamon said. "Make it easy on yourself. We don't want to take this too far."
"Sorry, but my decision stands. You can't change the mind of those who have sold their soul. Wouldn't you sell your souls to gain anything you would ever desire? Money? Power? Perhaps, a chance to survive?"
"I wouldn't sell my soul for anything. As long as I'm happy with my life, I have no desire to turn my back on anyone I care for; even if it is to gain power. My family and friends only matter to me," Gallantmon stated. "The same applies for each of us here, except you. Why do you give up on those who care dearly for you? Pharaohmon only craves for the death of every human being on this planet."
"If that's the case, then so be it. I'll take the sacrifice of every human being just to get what I want. That even includes my very own parents."
"You have no heart!" Yui cried out. "How can you even say that?!"
"I've just about had it with this guy! He doesn't deserve our sympathy!" Hell Inumon growled.
"I'm not so sure about this," Rika said within Sakuyamon's thoughts. "This wouldn't something Lance would say. I have a hunch that this is Pharaohmon right in front of us."
"Well, I guess we're finished with our little conversation. Can we now continue where we left off? I am getting anxious as it is," Lance said. "I'm not giving you any second chances. I finish you right now."
(End theme)
With that said, Lance's body became coated with a dark purple aura of pure evil energy. The digimon trio braced themselves. The possessed teen throws out a single fist, while sending out a powerful energy wave that cuts through the concrete ground. Gallantmon leaps away from the energy wave, but Lance calls the wave back with a single hand signal. The energy wave came flying back like a boomerang and struck Gallantmon in the back.
(Play random Yu Yu Hakusho battle theme)
"Gallantmon!" Sakuyamon cried out.
"Heh. Hasn't anyone told you to never turn your back on your opponent?" the villain chuckled.
"Black Thunder!!"
Lance immediately put up a barrier, which managed to extinguish Hell Inumon's attack. The canine digimon snarled and charged out towards Lance.
"This is far from being finished between us!"
"Oh? I'd completely forgotten about you since these two came," Lance said with an arrogant tone. "Here let me make up for that."
The possessed teen disappears from sight; thus he left Hell Inumon wondering the whereabouts of his enemy. Hell Inumon quickly picked up the boy's scent and turned to find Lance slamming a fist into his forehead. Hell Inumon lets out a painful cry as Lance sent him flying through a brick wall.
"Inumon!!" Himura calls out.
"Himura! Go check on him!" Yui said. "This monster is getting way out of hand!"
"Yui! Then come and help me with Inumon. There's no point with you standing around like this. You'll be easy prey for that creep."
"Ok, I agree."
The siblings rushed over to the fallen digimon's side. This was utterly the last straw with Gallantmon. The knight sits up, while suppressing the pain from the energy shot to his back. The armor wasn't strong enough to protect him from Pharaohmon's evil magic.
"Gaining a second wind now, are we? Well, I'm not about to let you regain your composure. Now, die."
Lance puts out a hand and fires another energy blast, which was filled with pure malice. He unleashes it and targets Gallantmon. Sakuyamon attempted to jump in front of her friend, but the blast was traveling at a faster rate. She wasn't going to make it, until the blast deflected off of Gallantmon. Lance gasped in shock and watched as a red aura formed around Gallantmon.
(End background theme)
"How is this possible?! Where is this fool getting this power?!"
"You… I gave you chance, Lance… But you've pushed me too far," Gallantmon muttered with pure anger. "You don't give a damn about the people who brought you to this world. You've sold your soul for a devil."
"Yes and I'd be happy to see weaklings die."
"You've just demonstrated your position on humanity. You sicken me. You are no longer human in my view. You're just a waste of space."
"Yes, that's it. Get angry," Pharaohmon thought within Lance's mind. "I expect to get the same reaction from Yugi Muto. All I need to do is draw out the hatred out from out of you. It's that simple. Perhaps I can gain his Millennium Puzzle with that approach."
Suddenly, Lance's thoughts were interrupted when Gallantmon's aura was emitting a bright glow. The possessed teen stood his ground and shielded himself with his own aura.
"Now I'll get what I want, Takato. Perhaps I can gain something valuable from you that will be for my benefit."
Sakuyamon looked on with caution towards Gallantmon. She hoped that he doesn't become careless and decide to maim Lance. Gallantmon's anger has completely transformed him into a completely different person.
"It's going to happen again," Sakuyamon said. "Takato! You have to control yourself! You can't let him get into your head! He's toying with your feelings!"
Himura lifted Hell Inumon up from the fallen debris with Yui's help. The trio looked on towards the face off between the two powers. Hell Inumon sensed the uprising strength from within Gallantmon.
"Gallantmon's power is rising… That bastard does not realize what he's getting himself into…"
"You mean to tell me that Gallantmon has the power to defeat him?" Himura asked.
"It's not just that, but Gallantmon is gaining this new found power through his love of his friends. Lance's remarks have sparked a flame within him. He's getting what's coming to him."
"If that assumption is correct, then this Lance guy is going down hard!"
"I hope so," Yui said. "Go! You can take this creep down!"
Not paying attention to their pleas, Gallantmon maintained his focus on Lance. He wasn't planning to hold back, but to give it his everything he has. Lance threatened to aid Pharaohmon on his quest of the annihilation of the human race, or so he claims. Gallantmon wasn't aware that his current target is in fact Pharaohmon himself.
"Am I doing the right thing? Is taking the life of a human being justifiable to sending a message to Pharaohmon? No, I don't think I can do this!" Gallantmon thought.
Lance simply spread his arms out as if he were begging Gallantmon to fire his shot. Sakuyamon couldn't do anything since Gallantmon would be planning an unpredictable attack on the possessed boy.
"Oh no. He's struggling from within! Renamon! We have to stop him!" Rika said in Sakuyamon's thoughts.
Shinjuku Central Park
Hiei found himself on the receiving end of a stomp treatment by Brimstone. The injured demon could barely hold a firm grip on his sword.
"I told you. It was a mistake to challenge me. You two are simply out of my league."
Suddenly, Yusuke phases right in front of Brimstone and throws out a fist into the armored behemoth. His fist was coated with powerful spirit energy and was unleashed with great ferocity.
"Did I just knock some sense into you, moron?"
However, Brimstone faced Yusuke without a single scratch on his face. The fiery demon slams his fist into Yusuke's gut and sends up flying through the air. Hiei saw another opening of attack, but struggled to fight through the pain of his injured arm.
"He's wide open to attack. The fool can't even protect himself at the slightest moment."
Brimstone turned to face Hiei, but found no traces of the demon. Suddenly, he felt a slight vibration from behind and immediately reacted to the sudden movement. Hiei came down with several slashes of his sword. Brimstone reacted to each sword swipe and shrugged them off with his fiery aura.
"What?! His body aura is shielding his armor. His defenses are far too great for even my sword to inflict any sort of damage!"
"How observant, Hiei. I thought you and Yusuke would provide me the challenge I've been searching for."
However, this did not stop Yusuke from rising to his feet. The resilient spirit detective stood despite injuries. His body was emitting a spirit aura, which indicted his surging power flowing through him. Brimstone felt Yusuke's power growing and faced him with great interest.
"Your power is growing. Interesting. I just might receive the fight I've been searching for. Give me everything within every fiber of your being, Yusuke."
"Let me make this clear to make you understand. By kicking your ass, we're going to send a message to your boss, Pharaohmon. So you tell him that we're ready for anything he's got planned. Got it?"
"Fine. So be it. However, let us enjoy this moment. Maybe you can prove to be more effective than the legendary warriors and the Tamer brats. Let us hold back no longer!" Brimstone said as the aura around his armor grew even bigger.
Yusuke stood his ground staring down Brimstone with Hiei standing from the other side. The two spirit detectives prepared themselves for their biggest fight since the showdown with the Saint Beasts and the run-in with the Toguro Brothers during the Yukina rescue mission. Nonetheless, Hiei and Yusuke were prepared to take on Pharaohmon's strongest minion.
San Francisco. Middle City District. 1:10 P.M.
Babimon walked through several buildings while searching for the whereabouts of Sailor Mercury. His nose managed to catch her scent. Sailor Mercury managed to hide behind a parking lot full of cars. Snuggling up next to her was Cammy.
"He's coming. He's going to find us," whispered Cammy. "We're going to be found…"
"Shh. If we keep quiet, then he won't find us."
"Speak for yourself, he can just find out scent."
"Then, we'll simply move to another location. It's all about confusing and tiring this beast."
"Oh, I see. Wow, you really thought this through."
"Now, if we get him fatigued enough, we'll be able to locate a perfect hiding location."
Babimon continued his way into the parking lot and attempted to pick up their scent. Unfortunately, the pollution was preventing him from even picking up any human scent.
"Where are they? They are gullible if they think they can hide from me any longer. This damn human pollution… I can't even pick up on their scent. I promised Lord Pharaohmon to bring him the girl. I can not let my lord down."
The baboon leaps away and opens his mouth towards the parking lot. He was preparing to fire a powerful mouth blast, which would incinerate not just the cars but even Mercury and Cammy. This was going to be big mistake on his part.
"I'll draw them out by inflicting some damage to this human hellhole. If you don't come out, then I'm going to lay waste to every pathetic human!"
Screams were heard and large crowds of people fled the scene at the sight of Babimon. Sailor Mercury held Cammy tightly and hoped that Babimon wouldn't carry out his threat. Unfortunately, the baboon was not bluffing and was willing to carry out this threat.
"Once last chance, Sailor Senshi! Bring the girl to me at once or these worthless lives shall be slain! No response? Fine! So be it!"
With that said, Babimon prepared to unleash his devastating mouth blast. He was about to carry out his attack, until a thunderous cry echoed from the heavens. Sailor Mercury gasped once she made eye contact with a winged creature soaring over the city.
"What is that? It looks like a… a dragon?" Mercury said.
"Oh! I've seen one of those before," Cammy said. "I've seen them during these duel tournaments run by some guy named Kaiba. I thought they were supposed to be holograms."
"Holograms. I'll need to scan this creature," Sailor Mercury replied after whipping out her mini-computer.
"There's no need to scan it. That dragon is a hologram. But how does a hologram stand a chance against a real monster?"
Babimon looked up towards the heavens and watched as the dragon landed down on the street. The monsters faced off with one another in a stare down. Babimon was annoyed over this sudden intrusion.
"Who are you?!" Babimon growled angrily. "Why have you come intruding on my domain?"
"Ha! That's funny. I don't quite remember there being a movie scene being shot here. You're not fooling anyone," an arrogant male voice calls out.
Babimon looked around the area in search of the source. He looked up ahead to find Seto Kaiba standing on top of a building roof. The dragon flies down in front of Seto as if he were his guardian. Attached on Seto's left arm is the latest duel disk model with the Blue Eyes card on its surface.
"Human! You dare stand in the way of Lord Pharaohmon's conquest?! You are making a major mistake."
"Oh no. I know what I'm doing. Nice animatronics. You'd do nicely in those old school monster movies. Despite the realistic looks, you're not fooling anyone with the cheap act."
"Fool! You think this is all an act? I'm afraid you are the one who is mistaken. Why don't I demonstrate? You seem confident, but that overconfidence will come back to haunt you."
Seto simply smirked and nodded his head. Looking on from below was Mokuba.
"Seto, I hope you know what you're getting yourself into."
Meanwhile, Duke Devilin found himself a perfectly hidden spot behind bushes. He was astonished by the size of Babimon, yet was surprised that Kaiba was standing up to the behemoth.
"Has Kaiba lost it? What is he going to gain from this? Here I thought he was a nut case, but this puts the final nail to the coffin. He's lost it."
"Now! Blue-Eyes White Dragon! White Lighting!"
By his command, the Blue Eyes White Dragon fires it's own powerful blast. Babimon embraced the blast that came towards him with tremendous ferocity. Much to Seto's chagrin, Babimon plowed through the mouth blast with ease.
"What?! He's plowed his way through my dragon's White Lighting?!"
"Who's a fake now? Are you convinced human? Nothing your dragon can do can harm me, because unlike your dragon, I am real. No phony hologram will ever hope to stand in my way!"
"Seto! You have to get out of there! Now! He's coming!"
"What was he thinking?" Cammy said. "Only a fool would have done something like that!"
"It looks like I'll have to step in once again. Babimon is seeking to find you not to fight any opposition."
"But you can't."
"I have to. It's my duty as a Sailor Senshi. Now you stay put, Cammy. You can't let yourself be exposed."
Cammy convincingly nods her head and hides away. The blue-haired warrior rose up to her feet and attempted to walk over towards the hairy behemoth.
She suddenly stopped as the dragon's body was emitting a bright aura. Everyone, including Seto, looked on with anticipation. Seto's eyes widened in surprise by the sudden turn of events.
"What… What's going on?!"
"Seto! What is it? Did you have anything to do with this?" Mokuba calls out. "Why the Blue Eyes glowing? There must be a flaw within that duel disk. Could it be some form of freak accident?"
"I'm seeing the visions again?" Seto muttered. "What are these visions supposed to tell me?"
(Play Prime Audio Soup by Meat Beast Manifesto from The Matrix soundtrack)
As Seto looked deeper into his thoughts, he saw an image of the Millennium Rod and of his Egyptian ancestor. An image of the Blue Eyes White Dragon emerged from a stone tablet. The rod's power had somehow brought the dragon to life.
"The Blue Eyes?! It's alive?! What are these images telling me? What's the point of this? No, these are just tricks to try to deter my concentration."
As soon as Seto turned back towards the battle, he noticed that his Blue Eyes White Dragon was kneeling before him. Apparently the Blue Eyes is displaying its full allegiance to its master.
"What is this all of a sudden?"
"I was just about to ask you that same question human," Babimon blurted out. "How were you able to bring that dragon to life?"
"It's alive?!"
Then, Seto noticed his duel disk already deactivated and the card was in his hand. The dragon was indeed brought to life without the use of the duel disk. Somehow, the visions had sent a strong connection to the Millennium Rod, which was hidden away by Ishizu and Marik after Battle City. Thus, this has triggered to the awakening of the dragon. It was no longer a holographic monster, but rather a real beast.
"Amazing," Sailor Mercury whispered. "That dragon… It came to life somehow. My calculations are picking up a biological structure from within it. It's no longer simply a holographic image being transmitted. How is this possible?"
Even Duke Devilin was astonished by this turn of events. For once, he wanted to cheer for Kaiba.
"Who would have ever thought that I would cheer for Kaiba? Then again, I'll choose his Blue Eyes over that overgrown baboon. Nail it to him!"
"Well, whatever caused this, I wouldn't be laughing now, monkey man. You've crossed my Blue Eyes and I! You shall pay for underestimating me. Now, my Blue Eyes White Dragon! The enemy standing before us must be annihilated. Destroy him and bring back honor to my name! The world will know just who is the greatest! Attack my Blue Eyes!"
The Blue Eyes White Dragon turned and faced the massive baboon. It let out a triumphant cry despite the presence of Babimon.
(End theme)
"If it's a battle you want human, then you shall receive! I'm not here to destroy you, but I'll be happy to rid myself of all opposition! Let us battle and determine just who is the better monster!"
Babimon charged out with a battle cry but not long before the Blue Eyes White Dragon flies towards the baboon. The monsters prepared themselves for an ultimate struggle of powers.
Seto Kaiba's visions have enabled bring forth his Blue Eyes White Dragon to life. Now Babimon must face the dragon's ferocity, but will it be enough to stop the monkey demon? This allows Sailor Mercury enough time to relocate Cammy from the battle. Can Yusuke and Hiei put down the powerful Brimstone? And can Gallantmon carry out his attack on Lance? Lance plans on playing with Takato's emotions until then. Three showdowns and only three will come out with their heads held high.
[Preview]
Takato: Hey, it's me Takato! Well, I'm left with a tough decision. Am I truly capable of taking the life of another human being?
Inumon: Wait until he finds out that Lance is indeed Pharaohmon!
Lance: Yes, I am the demon that has recently caused pain amongst the people in this city. Soon, I shall steal every soul on this pathetic planet and once again regain my ultimate power. It's only a matter of time before you will become one with me, Takato.
Takato/Guilmon: No! We will stop you before that even happens, Pharaohmon! Mark our words!
Brimstone: Yes, this is exactly what I've wanted. Yusuke. Hiei.
Yusuke: We're getting started. We'll be sure to send a message to your boss.
Babimon: What's this?! How is this happening?! Three Blue Eyes have combined into one?
Seto: Prepare yourself! Your fate has been sealed, beast!
Sailor Mercury: You could use some help there, no offense. This monster is trying to abduct a girl and I'm going to carry out my duty to ensure her safety. Eternal Make-Up!
