Coral: Hola, everyone! Don't worry, this story will never die! We've just had to invest more time into the D-Frontier Bebimon series.
Kanius: Anyway, I hope you readers are prepared for another action-packed chapter of the Pharaohmon arc! First of all, I'd like to thank Ninetalesuk for letting me use WarDevidramon and his many forms. As for Youkai Youko, thanks for allowing me to borrow Himura, Inumon and Yui! :)
Coral: Since we're not allowed to host anymore long chats, we'll just simply move on with the fic! Enjoy! ;
WarDevidramon Strikes Shinjuku! Pharaohmon's First Step to Ultimate Power!
WarDevidramon's missiles easily overcame Beelzebumon's attack and threw him out of loop. The winged demon managed to stop his course and faced Wardevidramon again with a grin.
"That's more like it, tin head. I think I'm going to enjoy this. Hey, Takato! You keep pineapple head out of this until I get my ass kicked. Which I doubt will happen."
"But we're not sure how strong this guy really can be! You're underestimating him!" Takato exclaimed.
"Kid. Take it from me. If you really want to find out your opponent's strengths, then you have to suck it up and kick some ass! Throw out every rule book if you can."
"He certainly doesn't take good advice," Takato thought.
"Takato. Let's do as he pleases. Once he gets thrashed, then we'll gladly step in," WarGrowlmon said.
"You think we ought to do that?"
"You fools! It would be wise if you attacked me all together, but if you insist we fight in this procedure, then so be it!"
"Bring it on, tin head!" Beelzebumon cries out. "I'll use your teeth as target practice."
Beelzebumon proceeded to attack WarDevidramon head on with everything he has, while everyone else looked on. WarGrowlmon stood his ground and waited until his time came him to bio-merge with Takato. Every other digimon were prepared for anything and their partners were willing to let them into the battle until the time was right.
"Eat lead!!"
The winged demon let's loose a barrage of shots from his gun and goes trigger happy on WarDevidramon. The bullets bounced off the protective armor of the beast, but that did not stop Beelzebumon from refraining from his assault.
"You won't overcome my wrath, punk! Take this! Take that!"
"Fool. You fail to realize that your weaponry is useless against me. Stop this resistance and perhaps I may let you join me. We can crush these insects together."
"What if I told you to… Bite me?!"
"You shall regret those words, weakling. Nobody dares to oppose me! Die!"
WarDevidramon charges forward and slams his tail across Beelzebumon. The force of the tail swing caused Beelzebumon to be sent crashing through a tree. The impact was not as devastating for a mega like Beelzebumon since he has taken more punishment before.
"Beelzebumon!!" Henry calls out. "Terriermon! It's time to make our move!"
"Renamon! Let's go!"
"Hold on you guys!" Calumon cried out. "Let me be of some assistance. Culu."
"Good idea! You can help us bio-merge and allow the others to digivolve," Henry said.
"Okay!"
"Whoa, did I just hear that? Hey, Guardromon! It looks like you'll be digivolving back to Andromon! Aren't you excited, buddy?"
"You don't know how long I've been waiting, Kazu. Start us off fresh, Calumon!"
"You got it!"
The tiny digimon shuts his eyes and levitates over the Tamer group. Between his fore head was a blood red, emerald. It immediately unleashes a bright light and shines over the digimon. The digimon were engulfed by the light and thus became energized enough to digivolve. Renamon and Terriermon faced their partners with determination. Their Tamer partners held her D-Arks up and bask through that same light.
"Bio-Merge Activate!!"
Guardromon was fed with some of Calumon's light and thus his power was given a heavy boost. His form started to evolve into a far, advanced android digimon.
"Guardromon chou shinka!! Andromon!!"
In place of Guardromon was a tall cyborg with silver metallic armor, a right leg completely comprised of wires and a form of flesh. His eyes were robotic in nature and a helmet protected his face. He gives a toothy grin and steps out in front of Kazu. The card player looks on with astonishment upon the same digimon he befriended and helped save from death in the Digital World.
"Guardromon?! No, you're Andromon. Buddy, are you still there?"
"Uh huh. I'm still here, but this is my ultimate form. Now I can contribute to this battle better. I'm far more mobile and can use longer range attacks. That includes my Gattling Attack."
"I know that by now, bud. But I wonder if it will be enough."
"No. We're definitely not fighting alone. Take a look."
Kazu turned around to find a golden-clad female warrior and a tall, green war machine with a dog's head. He jumps back in surprise, yet he sighed with relief. He had nearly forgotten that Henry and Rika were still present. However, they had bio-merged with their digimon partners.
"What's the dilly-o? Kenta asked. "Have you forgotten that Henry and Rika are still with us?"
"At first, I did… I was just excited to see Guardromon digivolve. My bad. I'm perfectly fine, Kenta. Ha. Ha. I haven't lost it."
"Yeah, sure. I wasn't the guy who jumped back like a little girl."
"Hey, boys! There's no time to argue! We still have a monster to take care of, or have you completely forgotten?" Jeri said.
"All right, Andromon! This is our chance! It's our time to shine, pal!"
"Just let me at him!"
Andromon leaps out onto the battlefield with Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon standing by his side. Meanwhile, Calumon flies back to Jeri and leaps into her welcome arms.
"Good job, Calumon. You're always a life saver."
"Thanks, Jeri. Time for me to take a nappy now…"
"This is no time to sleep, Calumon. Let's support Takato and the others. That's the only way to give them some motivation."
"Oh, well, if you say so…"
Meanwhile, War Growlmon made another hasty attempt to attack WarDevidramon. He leaps on the mega level monster and slashes him with some ferocious claw strikes. WarDevidramon took each blow and it seemed as though he didn't seem fazed by any of War Growlmon's hits. WarDevidramon pushes War Growlmon with tremendous force and delivers a headbutt into his gut.
"War Growlmon! Hang in there!" Takato cries out. "We're definitely going to require Gallantmon for this."
"Takato!" Mega Gargomon calls out.
"Henry?! Whew, thank goodness you guys came in the nick of time!"
"We'll distract WarDevidramon momentarily while you and Guilmon attempt to bio-merge! Hurry! There's no time to lose!" Sakuyamon stated.
"Will do, Miss Rika Nonaka!" Takato said with a mock salute. "War Growlmon! Step aside and let's try to bio-merge! Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon are stepping in!"
"Whew, they should have done so earlier!"
The goggle head whips out his D-Ark and holds it out for all to see. The device shots out a single beam of light, which envelopes Takato. That same light coated War Growlmon and caused him to de-digivolve back to Guilmon. The boy and his digimon were then merged together to form the mega level exalted knight.
"Bio-Merge Activate!!"
"Guilmon Bio-Merge to!! Gallantmon!!"
As they fully merged together, a cloud of smoke engulfed the newly merged knight. The only form visible through the smoke was a shadow silhouette of a knight-like warrior with a similar hazard sign on its battle shield.
WarDevidramon turned his attention over to Mega Gargomon and Sakuyamon with interest. The green war machine steps out in front of WarDevidramon and throws out a single punch.
"Hi-ya! I bet you don't even know kung-fu, pal!" Terriermon spoke through Mega Gargomon. "I know every style that is! That includes Shaq-Fu!"
With each martial arts punch thrown, WarDevidramon dodges easily and fluently keeps up with Mega Gargomon's speedy fists. The cyborg dragon fires out a single eye beam and nails a direct hit onto Mega Gargomon's armored chest. The beam was powerful enough to force Mega Gargomon back.
"Whoa! That's what I call a cheap shot! I was expecting you to know some kung fu, but you're just a one hit wonder!"
"Heh. Don't get carried away too soon, my green friend. I was merely testing you and you don't seem to be a threat to me. Now, I think it's my turn to repay the favor, chatterbox."
"Uh oh. I think we've pissed him off, Henry," Terriermon said with a gulp. "Uh, you think?!"
"Enough of this insolence! Destruction Missile!"
The cyborg dragon sends a missile out from out from his rocket-launcher arms. Mega Gargomon wasn't quick enough to react and dodge the missile. He took the missile head-on and cries out from the impact.
"Whoa! Now that was doozy!"
"I hope you enjoyed that, because I have more where that came from."
With that said, WarDevidramon unleashes an array of missiles from out of his chest. Mega Gargomon's mouth widened as the missiles targeted him. Sakuyamon immediately moved out and summons forth a wave of spirits.
"Get back, Mega Gargomon!"
"You just came at the nick of time, Sakuyamon!"
Each of Sakuyamon's fox spirits collided with the missiles and caused them to ignite. There were massive explosions from each ignited missile. Had those missiles made contact with Mega Gargomon, and then he wouldn't have remained in one piece.
"You should consider yourself lucky, because you would have certainly perished from those shots."
"Heh, too bad they didn't make their mark."
"Mega Gargomon. This isn't no time to be screwing around," Sakuyamon retorted. "It's going to take more than just the two of us to overcome this monster."
"Yeah! You really shouldn't leave me out of this," Andromon said. "Eat this, fiend! Gattling Attack!"
The android digimon fires away his own set of missile shots towards WarDevidramon. However, the cyborg dragon easily saw them coming and shots out four lasers from his four eyes to destroy each missile. Andromon was left in utter disbelief and stepped back.
"Oh dear! This is not good! Kazu! Any backup plans?"
"Why are you looking at me for?! I can't come up with any decent strategies. My ideas are cruddy!"
"Pathetic efforts, Andromon. Now would be the perfect time for you to beg for your life," WarDevidramon threatened. "I can't believe Pharaohmon sent me to destroy you weaklings. Alas, our time together must end."
"I don't think so, pal!" Beelzebumon calls out.
WarDevidramon turns to find Beelzebumon rising out from the forest debris. The winged demon struggled to stay on his feet and his left arm was left dangling. Beelzebumon smirked and pointed his blaster towards WarDevidramon.
"Ah, you're still alive? I figured you had already kicked the bucket by now, fool. You really must be that desperate to die soon. Don't worry. You're time shall come. As soon as I rid myself of these insolent pests."
"Hold it. If you want to get to them, you'll have to deal with me first! Besides, we weren't finished yet…"
"Ah, of course. You're right. How rude of me to have forgotten about you so soon. Let me make up for that."
WarDevidramon charges ahead with his targets set on Beelzebumon. On the other hand, Beelzebumon charged up his blaster and points it to WarDevidramon. The demon chuckled and pulls the trigger.
"You fell for it, moron! You shouldn't have ever ignored me! Chaos Flare!"
Just as Beelzebumon fires his blaster, WarDevidramon flies up and avoids the shot. The demon's blast only managed to incinerate a tree in the process. He looks up and finds an array of missiles raining down on him.
"Me and my big mouth…"
"Destruction Missiles!"
"Beelzebumon! Get out of there!" Mega Gargomon calls out.
"Even if we try to save him, we'll be too late to stop those missiles," Sakuyamon said.
"We have to at least try," Andromon replied. "Gattling-"
"No! Leave this to me! Lighting Joust!"
WarDevidramon turns to find a wave of energy being shot out from the smoke fog and destroying each missile at their wake. Everyone realized that none other than Gallantmon did this. The exalted knight steps out from the smoke fog with his lance and shield intact. WarDevidramon's eyes gazed upon Gallantmon with great interest.
"Ah, so you were War Growlmon? Impressive. I didn't think it was possible that you and that boy would pull off such a hasty evolution.
"Save the speech for another time, WarDevidramon. This ends here."
"Gallantmon! I say we work together," Sakuyamon suggested. "You can't possibly hope to defeat him on your own."
"No and I appreciate the help. You're about me not standing a chance alone. However, I think we ought to tell our friend that. WarDevidramon. There's no way you can take us at once! Admit it to yourself."
"I don't have to admit anything to the likes of you. Pharaohmon has asked me to carry out your executions. I don't like to leave anyone like him disappointed. So, just to make my job easier, why don't you simply surrender now? It's better than dying."
"Sorry, but I think we'll stick with option B," Terriermon spoke through Mega Gargomon. "Gee. I wonder what Plan B is, Terriermon?"
"What exactly is Plan B?"
"That would be going at you with everything we have and defying all odds!" Gallantmon calls out.
"That's your decision, but a rather incompetent one. So be it! You only managed to dig yourselves your own graves!"
WarDevidramon lets out a demonic roar and charges ahead towards the Tamer team. Gallantmon and his allies went ahead against WarDevidramon. They prepared to use their attacks and defy all odds to defeat WarDevidramon.
Jeri covers Calumon's eyes and hides away in the forest. She trembled immensely and whispered for the namesake of her deceased digimon partner.
"Leomon… I wish you were still here… You would have helped them with this monster… Oh, Leomon…"
"Jeri? Oh, you really do miss him," Calumon said. "You must feel awful…"
"You have no idea…"
"I sort of do. If you pray for him, then he just might come back one day."
"You really think so? Is it possible?"
"I know so, but you just have to believe…"
Jeri dug deep into her small pink pouch and retrieves her D-Ark. It remained as dead as it was at the time Leomon was slain by Beelzebumon. Despite putting it aside and moving on, those painful memories still remained in Jeri's min.
"Leomon… If there is a miracle, then I hope to have you back as my partner… Please come back."
Shibuya Park. 5:40 P.M.
The park was near its closing time and people were starting to leave. The sun was starting to set in the horizon and thus give away to dusk. This was the appropriate setting for the meeting the Sailor Senshi planned for Lance/Pharaohmon.
The teenage boy walks down through the gateway and looks around his surroundings. He calmly smiles and sits down on a bench.
"This is perfect. All I have to do is wait for those Sailor wenches to show themselves. Too bad that they don't know that I'm an expert at ambush. At last, I finally settle the score with Rei Hino. Though, it's such a shame that Babimon failed to capture her younger sibling. I would have enjoyed murdering that brat in front of poor Rei."
Suddenly, there was a rustling from the bushes and it immediately caused Lance to become alarmed. He sat up from his bench and faces the bushes with concern.
"No, that couldn't be them. They weren't supposed to be here for another hour or two. Besides, I would have sensed them by now. There's no need for me to be on alert so soon."
He sits back down on the bench and stretches his arms forward. He examines Lance's form and quirks an eyebrow.
"Strange. I'm surprised this body hasn't even decomposed after I've possessed it for the last few weeks. Perhaps, it was sheer luck that presented itself to me. Well, a younger human's body is said to have more energy and metabolism. I can't say the same thing for an older body. It's only a matter of time before I steal away those Sailor's energy brooches and become one step away towards releasing my true form from his vessel."
Again, the rustling of bushes diverts the teen's attention. He growls under his breathe with impatience and sits up from the bench. He steps forward and forms an energy ball.
"Hey, come on out of there! This is your last warning!"
There was no reply from the bushes, which only further infuriated Lance. He tosses the energy ball through the bushes and watches as fire ignited. The bushes were burned down to the ground until there was nothing left.
"Damn, maybe I'm just losing it. Those Sailor Senshi can really do that to you."
The teen merely dusted himself off and walks off from the burnt debris. He looks up ahead and finds a group of children playing a game of soccer. The ball was kicked towards him, but he caught it with one hand.
"Could you please give us our ball back?" a little boy with a backwards cap asked.
"Sure. Here catch!"
With that said, Lance hurls the ball over the gates and onto the street. The kids scrambled out of the park to retrieve their ball. Lance could only look on chuckling.
"Poor misguided fools. Hasn't their parents told them to never talk to strangers? Well, it doesn't matter since they all die either way. Every human are nothing more than little insects in my lush garden. They will be exterminated eventually. Only the dark and most vile digimon shall inherit this realm. No one, not even the Tamers, Yugi Muto, the legendary warriors, the spirit detectives or those Sailor Senshi can stop my conquest. I've gone too far to screw this up. Do you hear me, Rei Hino?! You can't stop me!"
As Lance started laughing, an object came shooting out from out of the air. Lance turns around and flips back. The object hits the ground and it turns out to be a fiery-arrow. Lance reaches over to the arrow and rips it from the ground. The fire arrow burns through Lance's skin, but he ignored the pain and puts the fire out with his aura.
"So, you came earlier than I expected. Oh, how amusing."
Lance looks around his surroundings and chuckled. He levitates from the ground and points out into the far distance. He made eye contact with nothing. There wasn't a trace of the Sailor warrior of fire.
"Could they be playing mind games with me?! Show yourselves, cowards!"
There was answer to Lance's screams. He was left to hear himself speak and become a sight see for people from below. He growls deeply and sets himself down onto the ground. He slams his fist to the ground and sighs deeply to himself.
"They are getting to me. I shouldn't exert any maximum force until those wenches show themselves. Ok, calm yourself… You'll get even with them. Rei Hino… I know that you're here. You will come out of hiding eventually. You can't hide from me for long. Just you wait."
Just as Lance sat up, another fiery arrow came targeting for him. Using his great reflexes, he immediately caught the arrow in time and incinerates it completely. He forms another energy ball and sends it hurtling towards the spot where the arrow came from.
"Looking for me?"
The teen quickly recognized the feminine voice and responds by tossing another energy orb. The orb makes contact with another bush and a shadow quickly flies out from the bush. Lance jumps up and steps into a battle position. He looks ahead to find a familiar raven-haired woman in a red fuku. The angry teen growled deeply towards the woman.
"You! I should have known you'd pull off such a scheme. I would have implemented a similar ambush."
"Too bad you didn't. I just beat you to the punch. So, how did you know that we'd be here?"
"I have my sources. That's not important now. You do realize that I'm still targeting your younger sister?"
"Unfortunately, we've thwarted your plans, Pharaohmon."
"What? Ah, I see. That other Sailor Senshi. Do you think you can rely on her to bring your sister here?"
"Yes and we've made an arrangement with the legendary warriors. They're going to help transport those two here."
"Big mistake on your part, Sailor Mars. You're sending your own sibling to a death trap. As long as I'm still alive, then her fate is in my hands."
"Which is why we're stamping you out once and for all. You've tormented with other people's lives for far too long. You end here!"
Just as Sailor Mars said that, Lance found himself surrounded by the other Sailor Senshi. Other than Mars, there was Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Pluto. The teen's eyes were widening in shock and he looks deeply into their determined glares.
"You can't escape now, Pharaomon. We have you surrounded," Mars said with malice. "You die here."
"Have you lost it?! If you kill me, then you destroy this human body. Don't tell me you're more than willingly to take the life of another human being. You're supposed to be the protectors of the innocent!"
"We don't have a problem with it, because we know that you aren't the real you. You're merely a decoy! Girls, let him have it!"
Following the fire senshi's command, the four Senshi leaped out over at Lance. Each one summoned their power and unleashed their elemental attacks upon the Lance decoy.
"Venus Love and Beauty Shock!!"
"Jupiter Oak Evolution!!"
"Dead Scream!!"
"Silence Glaive Surprise!!"
Each attack made their mark on the Lance decoy and heavily damaged his body. Sailor Mars came running out at her enemy. In her grasp was a bow and arrow made out of her firepower element. She targets for the Lance decoy and sends her arrow towards his chest.
"Mars Flame Sniper!!"
The arrow shoots through Lance's chest and his body immediately explodes. However, it was a decoy and merely exploded into dust. Dropping to the ground was a doll-like toy. Mars reaches out for the doll and grasps it tightly.
"He was right. It was a decoy. He played us for fools. I'll give him credit just this once. He really did his homework."
"Pluto. Did you know something like this would happen?" Sailor Venus asked.
"Yes. Unfortunately, we should have expected this to turn out."
"He's still bound to be here," Sailor Jupiter replied. "He's toying with us."
Suddenly, there was a sudden deep laughter from the park forests. The senshi stood together in a circle formation. Mars looked about her surroundings with a scroll in one hand.
"Looks like I was the one who successfully pulled off the swerve! You actually thought I'd leave myself out in the open to be incinerated? By the way, did I ruin your little plan, Rei?"
"Don't you ever refer to me by my name! Show yourself, Pharaohmon!"
Just as Sailor mars turned around, she came face to face with the face of evil himself. Lance gave her a smile and phases away. The sailors remained on alert while their enemy was hiding amongst the brushes.
"He was right here!" Mars exclaimed.
"It couldn't have been another fake, could it?" asked Venus.
"No, it was the real him. That's it! I'm ending this little game!"
"Mars, you have to calm yourself. If you let him get to you, then you'll be easy prey for him," Saturn suggested. "Don't worry. I'll put up Silent Wall the next time he pops up."
"No! This monster should not be given a chance to escape! He'll simply cause even more harm to the people here! Plus, he threatened me with my sister's life! I can never forgive him for that!"
"Wow, I've never seen anything get to Rei like this," Venus thought. "Sure, we've had enemies that have gotten to her. But there hasn't been anyone that has turned this into a personal matter."
"Pharaohmon! I'm not leaving until you show yourself! I'm not afraid of you!"
"Ah, but you will be. I came here for your energy brooches, senshi. However, I only require three to complete my first step to achieving my goal of leaving this body."
"Our brooches?" Pluto said.
"I don't even want to know which brooches you plan on stealing. You won't succeed. I'll see to that!"
"I'm afraid that my plan will succeed, Rei. Remember, I can conceal my evil aura and that makes it impossible for you to sense my whereabouts. Prepare yourselves, Senshi! My moment of glory has finally come at hand!"
The Senshi prepared themselves for their next offense while the winds started to blow heavily against the forests. Lance's laughter echoed through the dark forests, which was a foreshadowing of the events yet to come.
Domino City. 5:20 P.M.
Standing on a wooden platform at a construction site were two duelists. One of which was a female feline with a duel disk. In her hands were five cards, one of which would have to be a monster card of some sorts. The other is a spiky-haired boy with the infamous Millennium Puzzle hanging around his neck.
"Make your move, Felinismon! The sooner we can get done with this, the sooner you can leave and report your failure to Pharaohmon."
"I'm afraid you're going to be without your Puzzle and precious god cards," the feline taunted the former pharaoh.
"Shut that cat down, Yugi!" Tea cheers.
"And shut that yap of hers while you're at it!" Joey cried out.
Yami Yugi focuses on Felinismon and draws his first five cards. The feline smiled as she gazed on her first five selections.
"Now to start this duel off! I'll put one card face down on the field. Then, I'll summon this! Behold, the Sea Serpent Warrior of Darkness!"
Standing beside Felinismon was a dark-colored knight coated with purple outlines. The sea serpent warrior held a staff in one hand and prepared for an attack on Yugi.
"Attack my monster!"
"Hold it right there! I summon the Ansatsu!"
The pharaoh counters Felinismon and summons a black ninja with a red scarf.
"You idiot! My monster has 1800 attack points, while your puny ninja has 1700!"
"Wow, a hundred point difference. Big deal," Tristan commented.
"Let's not get conclusive yet, Felinismon. I equip my Ansatsu with this magic card. The Legendary Sword!"
Yugi uses his magic card and thus equips the ninja with a medieval sword. As a result, Ansatsu's attack and defense points were raised from 1700 to 2000/1500.
"The Legendary sword gives my Ansatsu a three hundred point boost! Now, Ansatsu! Slay her Sea Serpent Warrior of Darkness!"
By his command, Ansatsu leaps towards the Sea Serpent quickly and slashes its body in half. Felinismon looks on as her warrior plops to the ground completely severed through its waistline in half. Her life points dropped from 4000 to 3800.
"Meh, that doesn't matter to me," said Felinismon. "I'm not finished yet. Besides, I was just warming up!"
"If that's the case, then let us continue with our duel."
"As you wish… Ooo. This card shall do nicely."
Felinismon pulls out her next card and lays the card out. The next monster to be summoned was the Red Archery Girl. Yugi easily remembered this monster being used by Pegasus.
"The Red Archery Girl? Why did you choose a weaker monster?"
"I wouldn't worry about that now, Yugi. All that matters is that you have a monster to take care of."
"But why did she summon a weaker monster? Then again, she still has a card face down. There's a good chance that it's a trap or a magic card," Yugi said through Yami's thoughts.
"Why don't you send your Ansatsu to attack my Red Archery Girl? She's right here in the open!"
"I can see that and I think I'll take my chances. For my next move, I summon another monster on the field in defense mode."
Yugi pulls out his third card and calls forth Feral Imp. The green-furred monster was summoned into a defensive position.
"Now Ansatsu! Attack her Red Archery Girl!"
"Big mistake, punk! Now, to reveal my trap card!"
With that said, a protective invisible wall appears before the Red Archery Girl. Ansatsu strikes the wall with its sword and is immediately stopped at its tracks. Its attack was then sent right back at Feral Imp and the imp was destroyed in the process.
"The Mirror Force! So that was your trap?!"
"Close, but I call it the Dark Mirror Force. I'd rather not get into any details. I'll let you figure this one out."
"Of course. This card is summoned when a monster is sent into an attack. Since my Ansatsu struck the mirror wall, then it destroys all monsters in their defense modes. That's why my Feral Imp was destroyed."
"You're lucky that you didn't lose any life points. Otherwise, you would have lost a chunk of your points. But next time, you won't be so lucky."
"But I'm still in the lead."
"Not for long. I still have my Red Archery Girl. Not to mention that my mirror wall is still intact."
"Think again."
"What's that?!"
Yugi pulls out his next card to reveal a turtle-like tank. He lays it onto the field and summons the Catapult Turtle.
"Huh?! What's that going to do?"
"Obviously, you haven't learned the fundamental basics of Duel Monsters. Lance failed to inform you about certain monsters that can tear down traps."
"Monsters that can tear down traps, including my wall? Oh, he didn't tell me that…"
"Now I put my Ansatsu on my Catapult Turtles and send him through your wall!"
Ansatsu hops onto the Catapult Turtle with his sword still intact. The turtle sends the ninja over and through the wall. Felinismon's mouth widens as she watches her wall tumble before her very eyes. She curses under her breath.
"You dirty little punk! You're making me look like an amateur!"
"Maybe, because you're only making yourself look like one."
"Way to go, Yug! Now she doesn't have any more traps on her side! Her Archery Girl is wide open for attack!"
"Um, thanks for pointing out the obvious, Joey," Yami said. "Now, Ansatsu! Attack her Red Archery Girl!"
The ninja leaps forward and stabs the Red Archery Girl with the Legendary sword. The shell woman collapses once the ninja pulls out his sword. The feline collapses backwards and a sweat drop falls over her face.
"Curse you, Yugi…"
"Man, this girl stinks at dueling," Tristan commented. "Even my grandma would whoop her."
"My sister would wipe the floor with her," Joey said while praising his sister, Serenity.
"Makes me wonder if she even has any dueling skills. This is her first time in a duel," Tea said. "Big mistake for an amateur to challenge Yugi."
Felinismon lifts herself back on her feet and looks down at her duel disk. It was down its previous 3800 to 3200.
"Damn it! My life points are dropping as it is!"
"Can we get serious, Felinismon? You're the one that's making a fool of yourself. I've been dueling seriously this whole time."
"Don't give me that crap! I'm just run into some bad luck. That's all! Don't underestimate me!"
"Yeow! She screeches louder than nails on a chalkboard," Joey said as he covered his ears.
"What was that?! Why don't you come on over and say it to my face!"
"Felinismon. Let us get back to our duel."
"Oh, um. Right. Ha. Hey, don't go ordering me around! If I wanted to, I'd kill you right now and take your stupid puzzle. But I plan on beating you through what you excel most."
"Then, make your next move."
"As you wish, brat…"
Felinismon digs deep through her card deck and pulls out three new cards. She examines them and smiled.
"Now for my next move! I put one card face down and bring forth the Gemini Elf in attack mode!"
Summoned to the field was a blonde-haired elf woman in a blue jumpsuit and arm sleeves. Her attack/defense points were 1900/900.
"Your monster still does not stand a chance against my Ansatsu."
"Your monster is only one hundred points stronger, Yugi. You can still attack me if you wish."
"I can't take my chances since she has a facedown card on the field. There's a good chance that it's a trap card. I'm not going to risk my Ansatsu and will simply send out another monster."
"Fine then. I'll put my Ansatsu into defense mode and bring forth this monster! Gazelle the King of Mythical Beasts!"
Kneeling beside Yami was the mythical winged beast known as Gazelle. The beast leaps forward to attack Fenimon's Gemini Elf.
"Attack her Gemini Elf!"
"Not so fast, Yugi! Activate my next facedown card! It's a spell card known a Thunder Crash!"
As soon as she said that, the card known as Thunder Crash summons a bolt of thunder crashing down upon the Gemini Elf. The monster was completely wiped out and brought shock on Yugi's face.
"You just destroyed your own monster? Explain this reasoning."
"Huh? What kind of idiot would destroy his or her own monster? Maybe she's letting the stress get to her and figured she could wipe herself out from the game quicker," Tristan said.
"Yug! Heads up!"
Yami looked ahead and saw an energy blast targeting him. The blast collides with Yami and sends him reeling back. The pharaoh held his chest in pain from the impact
"Yugi! Are you all right?!" Tea calls out.
Yami stared down at his duel disk watched as his 4000 started to plummet all the way down to 3700.
"How did this happen?!"
"The Thunder Card just destroyed my monster. It destroys all monsters on my side of the field, then it inflicts damage to your own life points equal to the number of my monsters destroyed x 300 points. I only had one monster on my side of the field. You multiply that one monster by 300 and you get 300 total points. Instead of it affecting me, it was sent straight to you and thus subtracted 300 of your life points. That is the reason why you have 3700 currently."
"Not bad, Felinismon. You've managed to rebound from your flops."
"I don't need praise from the likes of you. Besides, I'm not finished yet. I summon this monster to the field. The Punished Eagle!"
Felinismon lays out her card and looks up to find a large eagle with deadly talons and a massive beak. The eagle's eyes emitting a red, demonic eye and set its sights on Yugi's Gazelle.
"I end my turn there. Let's see what you can come up with, Yugi!"
"Very well. I put this card down facedown and summon Berfomet King of the Mythical Beasts. Then, I use my Polymerization card to fuse both monsters to form Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast!"
Now Chimera and the Punished Eagle were both equally match with each having 2100 attack points. There would be no way for one to attack the other.
"All right! Kick her butt, Yug!" Joey cheers on.
"Not a bad move there, punk. However, I still have another monster at my disposal. Once I summon it, then I can sacrifice it and my Punished Eagle to summon forth a personal favorite monster of mine. Hope, this works…"
"Since, my monster can't attack yours, I'll end my turn by putting another card facedown. That ends my turn."
"Puurfect! Now, I summon my second monster onto the field! Mechanical Snail! I summon you!"
Now being summoned before the feline digimon was a large snail monster with a gaping mouth filled with sharp teeth. Felinismon points out to her snail and eagle.
"Now I sacrifice both of my monsters to the graveyard! As a result, I summon the Empress Mantis!"
After placing out her card onto the field, a gigantic mantis stood before her. It's neck and arms were covered with white fur and the scythes looked sharp enough to tear through walls effortlessly.
"She just sacrificed two monsters for the price of one! Yeah, I'd be worried now, Yugi!" Tristan calls out.
"I wouldn't say that, Tristan. Nothing has ever held Yugi back and this bug certainly won't!"
"Isn't she just adorable, Yugi?! Her attack points are 2200. Your Chimera only has 2100 and your Ansatsu only has 2000! Which means I can attack anyone of your monsters. Heck, I'll start with your Chimera!"
By her command, the Empress Mantis charged forward and slashes Chimera down to size. The others wondered why Yugi did not activate any of his facedown cards, yet Yugi retained that same confident grin on his face. His life points went down merely to 3600.
"Hey, why aren't you getting worried? I just destroyed your Chimera!"
"Not only am I still in the lead, but the fact remains that I still have my facedown cards."
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?! It doesn't matter to me! You still have your Catapult Turtle and your Ansatsu! I can attack either one on my next turn!"
"Don't be so sure. For my next move, I sacrifice both my Catapult Turtle and my Ansatsu! To take their place, I summon my Dark Magician!"
"Oh no! My lord told me about this! It's Yugi's trademark monster!"
"I see you've really been doing your homework, Felinismon. You would know that the Dark Magician has an attack power of 2500. He's three hundred times stronger than your Empress Mantis."
"Crap! This can't be happening!"
The Dark Magician stood beside Yami with his magic staff in his right hand. He wields it and targets for the Empress Mantis.
"No! I have to think of something quick before my Mantis bites the dust!"
"Lay that bug to waste, Yug!" Joey cries out. "You da man!"
"You have this one in the bag!" Tea cheered.
"But what can I use to counterattack Yugi before he gets my Empress Mantis?! I'm screwed!"
"Dark Magician! Take her Empress Mantis down! Dark Magic Attack!"
Following his command, the Dark Magician charges forward and sent a magical blast, which tears through the Mantis' torso. The insect monster collapses as it fades away. Felinismon panics and gazes down on her life points. The life points plummeted from the previous 3200 to 2900.
"Your Empress Mantis has been vanquished."
"Ha! Don't celebrate too soon, Yugi! I still have more aces up my sleeve! First, I'll use this Monster Reborn card to bring back my Empress Mantis. Arise, my beautiful creature!"
Now her mantis was immediately restored to life and back as good as new. Feliniusmon pulls out her next card and puts it out on the field. Three tiny fairies appeared inside of a pink blooming flower. Yugi's friends looked on with dumbfounded looks.
"Uh, could someone fill me in here?" Joey said.
"I think I've seen everything, but this ridiculous," stated Tristan. "I don't remember little fairies being considered threats."
"What's that cat girl planning?" Tea wondered.
"I call this my Dancing Fairy card and I put it defense mode. This is also an effect card. As long as I keep this on my side in a face-up defense position, it will increase my life points by 1000 during each of my standby phases. Looks like my life points go up to 3900. That's three hundred points higher than your life points. Next, I draw this card out and place it facedown. Next, I'll discard a magic card I don't even care for. That ends my turn."
"She sure seems full of herself. She's losing life points, but she's somehow regained her confidence after putting out that Dancing Fairy. It will increase her life points every standby phase by 1000 points. I better be careful with this. She has a facedown card and it's most likely a trap card."
"All right! It's my move now! Dark Magician! Attack her Empress Mantis!"
"You fell for another trap card of mine! Behold! I call this one Type Zero Magic Crusher!"
A machine stands by Felinismon and opens fire onto Yugi. However, Yugi pulls a facedown card up and reveals the Mirror Force
"Mirror Force! That will now redirect the attack from your trap and sends it right back at you!"
"Oh crap!"
Felinismon reels back from her attack. She screams out once the blast made impact with her. Her life points went down from 3900 to 3400.
"I saw your trick, Felinismon. You discarded a magic card in order to boost the Magic Crusher and went to inflict 500 of my life points. I saw through it and summoned my Mirror Force to reflect it back at you, Felinismon. How does it feel to have a taste of your own medicine?!"
"Curse you!!"
"Go, Yugi! Go, Yugi!" Joey chanted.
"Hold on, guys. It isn't over until the fat lady sings," Tristan said.
"C'mon, Tristan. Cut it with the cliché and support our bud! He's going to cream her!"
"Though, she did put up an effort to rebound from her slump," Tea pointed out.
"She only has beginner's luck. In the end, she'll fall in defeat by our pal."
Felinismon lifted herself from the ground and turns her head towards her Dancing Fairy. Her life points immediately increased up to 4400.
"Remember, Yugi. I still have my Dancing Fairy. As long as it's still face up in defense mode, my life points increases 1000 points during each standby phase."
"I'm aware of that, which is why I plan on destroying it."
"Well, good luck until then. I also have my Empress Mantis! Oh, let's see here. Ah, this card will do great! I summon my Next World magic card!"
Now being summoned to Felinismon's side was a magic carpet, which quickly attached itself around the Dark Magician. Yugi was caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
"Oh no!"
"I can choose one of your monsters and I can summon a monster with the same number of stars. What do you know? I have a monster that has the same number of stars as your magician! Arise, my Big Koala!"
Felinismon summons forth a titanic Koala bear and it looms over the trapped magician.
"My Big Koala has 2700 attack points! He's stronger and can destroy your magician! Now, destroy Yugi's Dark Magician!"
By her command, the Big Koala steps forward and slashes down the Dark Magician to size. Yugi witnessed as his life points went down to 3400. Felinismon chuckles to herself and twirls her hair.
"You know, Yugi. If I keep this up, I'll not only defeat you but also take your prized possessions. It's such a shame really. Here I thought you'd be a threat to my lord Pharaohmon. Now you're struggling against poor ol' me. I'm disappointed in you."
"Don't think this is over yet, Felinismon!"
"Kiddo, you're only delaying the inevitable! Admit it! I own you!"
"Uh, her arrogance is getting on my nerves!" Tea complained. "She's starting to remind me of Mai when we first met her at Duelist Kingdom."
"Yeah, I definitely see a little Mai in her," Joey said.
"Joey! This isn't the time to be day dreaming about, Mai!" Tristan exclaimed. "Our buddy is struggling as we speak."
"Take it easy, Tristan. It's not over. Yugi will make a comeback! Don't lose faith."
"So much for your Dark Magician, Yugi! Do you have anything else to offer my Big Koala? Don't forget about my Empress Mantis and let's not forget my cute little Dancing Fairy card. Which reminds me, Dancing Fairy gives me another 1000 points to add to my life points. Ah, 5400 is just perfect."
"What can I do in this predicament? She has two powerful monsters and the Dancing Fairy. That alone increases her life points by 1000 points. Wait, I still have this… Swords of Revealing Light!"
"What's taking you so long, Yugi?! I'm practically taking catnap here…"
"Swords of Revealing Light!"
"What's this?!"
Coming down from the heavens, a set of swords surrounded Felinismon and her monsters. She and her monsters were unable to penetrate through the barrier the swords created in the process.
"Care to explain this?"
"As you can see, the swords prevents you and your monsters to attack me for three full turns. This will allow me to buy some time."
"Oh, so you're going to depend on swords to save your cowardly behind? Ok, whatever… Make these next three turns useful. Once this barrier goes down, then my monsters are going to slaughter you!"
"Perfect, now I can draw out as many monsters as possible."
"All right, now I summon my Kuriboh!"
Floating in front of Yami was the infamous fuzzy-ball creature with claws. Kuriboh lets out a small cry. Felinismon looks on with a dumbfounded look and a sweat drop over her forehead.
"Wha… What… What the heck is that little thing?! He's so cute!!" Felinismon said with a giggle. "I want one!"
"Hey, Yug! Why did you have to summon that little guy?! He's the weakest monster in the whole game!"
"Trust me, Joey. I know what I'm doing. I only have two more turns left before the swords deactivate."
"Ha! Look! He's trying to be fierce! Before I beat you, Yugi, can you lend me that little cute thing? He's simply adorable!"
"Cute? Don't underestimate the Kuriboh. It's saved my life points before and it's going to save them again!"
"Fine, my turn! I'll put down a monster card facedown. I end my turn."
"I summon my Big Shield Gardna in defense mode!"
Kneeling beside Kuriboh was a warrior with a massive shield in one hand.
"I put my Kuriboh in defense mode! That ends my turn!"
"Fine! Now, I put another facedown monster card in defense. I end my turn. You only have one more turn before those damn swords go down and I send my monsters to destroy you!"
"No, I don't have any monsters now that can save me! All I have are crumby low levels in my hand. Fine, looks like I'll have to drag this one out…"
"I place another card facedown and end my turn."
"Wow, that's the best you can do?! You're pathetic, Yugi! Now I'm only a turn away from slaughtering you!"
"No! You can win, Yugi! We believe in you!" Tea cheers on to her long time friend.
"Say, that girl is quite the firecracker, isn't she?" Felinismon said. "Kind of reminds me when I was a little kitten and I cheered on my lord Pharaohmon… Ah, the memories… Whoa! Where was I? Oh yes! I activate a trap card of mine. It's called the Pyro Clock of Destiny. This will enable to advance the duel by one turn! So, say buh bye to your Swords of Revealing Light!"
"No! I should have seen this one coming!"
"Yeah, you should have. Now, I call forth Otohime! Its special effect allows me to switch the battle position of one of your monsters. Since I'm adored by your cutesy Kuriboh, I'm forcing your Big Shield Gardna into attack mode!"
"No! His attack power is 2600 and that means…"
"I'm attacking him right away! Now I send my Big Koala to finish him right away!"
By her command, the Big Koala charges forward and prepares to attack the Big Shield Gardna. Everyone, including Yami, looks on with worry.
"Say goodbye to your monster and another chunk of your lifepoints!"
"This isn't over, Felinismon! I'll find a way out of this mess!"
Eastern Shinjuku District. 5:10 P.M.
Youkai Inumon resumed his duel with Shadow Metalgarurumon. He blocks out every claw slash attempt by Shadow Metalgarurumon. Inumon's twin swords were swiped away by Shadow Metalgarurumon. He was now left vulnerable without a weapon in hand. He had no other alternative, but to leap out at Shadow Metalgarurumon. The canines rolled around across the streets and tore at one another.
"C'mon, Inumon! Get up!" Himura cries out.
"Inumon! Don't you let this bully get the best of you!" exclaimed Yui. "On second thought, he's not such an evil creep like I thought."
"Yui. Get real. He's trying to kill Inumon!"
"Yeah, but he's being used by Pharaohmon. He's only being forced into this against his free will."
"I'm still not sure, Yui. He could be lying and I don't trust liars."
"At least, let's give him a chance to explain…"
"It's too late for that. Those two don't look like they want to settle anything on a civilian manner."
"Then, I'll have to break them up myself."
"Don't you understand what you're saying?! You're going to get mauled out there!"
"Sorry, Himura. I just don't want anyone else to fight one another just because some crazy boy decides to hurt people."
"Yui."
The siblings immediately turned back towards the battle and saw Youkai Inumon skidding across the concrete. He struggles to his feet, but could not fully stand up. He suffered some minor cuts across hit left leg inflicted by Shadow Metalgarurumon. The canine turns and finds his swords lying on the ground.
"If I can only reach out for my swords, then I can lay waste to this punk!"
"I know what you're thinking about, Inumon. You're thinking how easy I should go on your death. No, I think I'll make it slow and painful. Now, die."
The metallic wolf raised his paws over Youkai Inumon and sharpens his claws. Inumon looks up with sheer determination and was more than willing to accept death on his part.
"As long as Himura and Yui are alive, then there's no other purpose for me to live…"
"No, don't say that, Inumon!" Himura exclaimed. "Get up! You're better than this creep! You have something that he does not possess… a heart of gold!"
With that said, Youkai Inumon rolls away from Shadow Metalgarurumon's finishing blow and snatches up both of us swords.
"Inumon! Don't hurt him!" Yui cries out.
"Give it to him, Inumon!"
"Wha- What's gotten into you, Himura?!"
"I'm ordering Inumon to finish him, unless you want that maniac to chase us everywhere we go. Any other suggestions?"
"Yeah, but we can't kill him. I can't explain why, but…"
"Yui. This is no time to go all soft. He has to die! Inumon! Finish him!"
Shadow Metalgarurumon charges forward with his claws intact and leaps forward. The canine warrior saw an opening through the wolf and immediately jumps at him. Youkai Inumon wielded his swords and caused them to emit a fiery aura. He slashes through Shadow Metalgarurumon with rapid speed and sends him sailing into the air. However, Youkai Inumon wasn't finished and positions his swords into an "X". He summons forth a large flame wolf, which was similar to Beowulfmon's Frozen Hunter. The flames were completely dark and looked like a force of darkness had possessed it.
"Let him have it, Inumon!"
"Inumon! No! You can't carry on this attack!"
"Dark Flame Hound!!"
Youkai Inumon sends the dark flame wolf through Shadow Metalgarurumon. The wolf's metallic armor began to shatter and he lets out a painful cry. The wolf was sent soaring across the city block and out of sight. Yui looks on with worry and cries out for the wolf.
"No! How could you order Inumon to do that to him, Himura?! We could have persuaded him."
"There's no way to talk sense to the enemy. They care nothing more than to carry out their orders and make sure they get it done. Yui, please try to understand. He was sent to kill you and me. You should be thankful…"
"Thankful for what?"
Himura kneeled beside his sister and wraps his arms around her into a hug. The girl questioned her elder brother's motive, but managed to return a hug. Youkai Inumon walks over to the siblings and immediately de-digivolves back into Inumon.
"Well, that took care of him," Inumon said. "Are you two all right?"
"We'll manage through, Inumon. Thanks," Himura replied. "Yui. Are you going to be fine?"
"Yeah."
"That's good."
Suddenly, Inumon sensed a major disturbance from the local park and growled deeply. The siblings took notice of the canine's sudden aggression. Himura steps forward and looks out to the park. Their eyes widen as they set their sights on Wardevidramon.
"Whoa… Whoa… How did that thing get in the park?!" Inumon wondered. "Himura! Takato and the others are bound to be there with that monster! We better hurry along and help them out!"
"Good idea! C'mon, Yui…"
"What?"
"I said, c'mon. Let's get going. Takato and the other Tamers are bound to be involved with in this fiasco."
Yui replies with a nod and took her brother's hand. Inumon sets off down the street and towards Shinuku Park. The siblings raced off following Inumon on their way to the park. Yui looks back to the city area where Shadow Metalgarurumon had fallen. She has a worried glance on her face. It was painfully clear that she was sympathizing the wolf mega.
"I guess I'll have to go check on that poor digimon after we get done with this monster. Oh, Himura. Did you really have to hurt him?"
Shinjuku. Nearby construction site
A local construction site was being set up near the local school Takato and his friends attend. It seemed there was going to be yet another apartment building to be built and site was now empty for a showdown between Kurama and the flame titan, Brimstone.
Brimstone kept an eye on Kurama as if he was a hungry shark, but he maintained his composure for a while longer. The half-demon takes a further examination of his opponent and pulls out a red rose from out of his fiery, red hair. As soon as he whips out the rose, it turns into a thorn whip. Kurama whips the vine across and reels it back.
"What is the meaning of this?"
"I must first ask a couple of questions needed to be answered. One… What do you hope to accomplish for Pharaohmon?"
"A ridiculous question, demon. I wish to make my lord proud and to help him through his conquest to vanquish the human race."
"Is that so? Fair enough. Another question. You seem to be quite a formidable force. What's the purpose for the armor on your body? I don't suppose you really need it to protect yourself."
"Ah, so you've finally realized my secret. Oh, observant of you."
The titan looks down over his armored form and flexes out his muscular arms. He turns his attention back onto Kurama.
"No, this armor does provide me protection against my opponents. On the other hand, it protects my enemies from myself."
"Just as I thought. You don't suppose you'd like to demonstrate, Brimstone?"
"That won't be necessary. I can take you with or without my armor. What you need to worry about is how long you can hang with me. Most of my opponents don't even last five minutes with me."
"I'd like to give it a try."
"Even if you risked your own life? Very well then. It's your funeral. There's no turning back."
"I don't intend to run."
"Fair enough."
Brimstone puts out his right hand and a sword immediately materialized. He encircles Kurama and charges forward with his sword in one hand. Kurama throws out his Rose Whip, but it only manages to bounce off of Brimstone's sword. Kurama jumps away once Brimstone struck his sword against the ground. The beast rips the sword out from the ground and leaps forward. Kurama puts up his Rose Whip and protects himself from the sword slash. Brimstone tries to slice through the whip with his sword, but the vine's strong texture was enough to hold it back.
"That weapon of yours has quite a tough texture. However, I can see a way through it. Watch as I demonstrate."
With that said, Brimstone turns up the heat around his body and the aura emitted a bright glow. Kurama could feel the heat getting to him. His Rose Whip was quickly incinerated by Brimstone's fiery aura.
"His body is giving off an extreme heat temperature. If I keep this up, then I will be incinerated for sure."
Kurama leaps away from Brimstone, in order to distance himself from the beast's aura. The armored monster drops the burnt vine and crushes it under his feet. Nothing was left of it but a pile of ashes.
"A valiant effort, demon, but that will not do. Is there anything else you'd like to demonstrate before I end this?"
"You may have destroyed my weapon, but I many other ways to exploit you."
Brimstone smashes his sword into the ground and forms an energy sphere through his aura. He tosses it forward and hopes that it makes a direct hit with Kurama. The half human-fox demon jumps away and allows the fire blast to burn through a wall of metal.
"That fire blast was enough to incinerate through that metal hinge. If that had made contact, I wouldn't have survived."
"Surely, you wouldn't have. Your plants will be useless against my flames."
"He's right. At this point, I doubt any of my seeds will be sufficient."
"If I were you, I'd come up with a better strategy than this. I know you can do better than this."
Kurama stood his ground as he began to think of more strategies at his disposal. It will most certainly require him to use more than just his deadly plants and seeds. All he needs is a source of luck in order to defeat the fiery titan.
Shinjuku Park. 5:45 P.M.
The showdown with Wardevidramon was well underway. The Tamers were in a deep struggle as Wardevidramon used a fury of his Destruction Missiles to bring down the Digimon Tamers. Andromon's Gattling Attack were proven to be useless at this point and he eventually became a non-factor.
"You are nothing more than just a waste! Out of my way!" the cyborg dragon exclaimed.
"Mega Barrage!!"
Mega Gargomon fires away a gigantic array of missiles towards Wardevidramon. However, the dragon retaliates by swatting each missile with his claws and put away others with his Destruction Missiles. He charges forward and whips his tail out at Mega Gargomon. The impact from the lashing tail knocks Mega Gargomon back and skidding backwards through the remains of the park's forests.
"Pitiful attempt, my friend. Don't you Tamers even provide me with a sufficient challenge?"
"Well, I'm just getting warmed up! Take this!"
Wardevidramon turns around to find Gallantmon directing his sword at him. The knight unleashes an energy blast through the tip of his lance and sends it at the dragon cyborg.
"Not good enough! Crimson War Claw!"
With one powerful slash, he stops Gallantmon's manuever dead at it's tracks. The cyborg dragon flies forward and delivers a tail whip to send Gallantmon crashing back into the lake. Sakuyamon had seen enough and summons forth her fox spirits. She sends them over to Wardevidramon in one swoop.
"Enough with this child's play! I'm through playing around with you, Tamers!"
Wardevidramon's four eyes emitted a bright glow and sends out laser beams towards the fox spirits. Sakuyamon gasped as she witnessed her own spirits being vaporized by the dragon's offensive attack.
"Weakling. I cannot understand why Pharaohmon sent me to deal with you weaklings. In fact, I'm done playing with you. It's time that I end this!"
"Hold it right there, bub!"
Beelzebumon steps out despite injuries and points his blaster at the dragon. Wardevidramon merely chuckled at the demon's resiliency.
"Big mistake on your part, pal. Nobody ever turns their backs on me! Now, say cheese!"
With that said, Beelzebumon charges up his blaster and sends out a Chaos Flare. The massive shot goes hurtling towards Wardevidramon and it seemed that the shot would hit its mark. Unfortunately, Wardevidramon dodges away as the shot was way off and sent towards a statue. The blast destroys the statue completely and left nothing left of it. Beelzebumon fell to his knees and started to lose focus. The cyborg dragon storms over to Beelzebumon and quickly grabbed him by his neck. Wardevidramon hoisted Beelzebumon up and started to put the tight squeeze around the mega's neck.
"Oh no! Beelzebumon! Hang on!" Gallantmon calls out. "Stand aside guys!"
"What are you going to attempt to do, Gallantmon?" Sakuyamon asked.
"SHIELD OF-"
Wardevidramon turns around to face Gallantmon with Beelzebumon still in hand. He puts Beelzebumon out in front of him, which immediately forced Gallantmon to halt his attack.
"If you make one more move, then you're comrade here gets what's coming to him. If I were you, then I'd seize my attack. Drop the shield now."
Gallantmon immediately drops his shield and his lance. He steps away and watches Wardevidramon make his next maneuver. The cyborg beast merely chuckled and dropped Beelzebumon to the ground.
"You can have him. He's nothing to me."
Gallantmon storms over to the fallen winged demon and drags him away from the beast. However, Wardevidramon did not stop from there. He poised his four eyes towards Gallantmon and planned to blast him from behind. Sakuyamon and Mega Gargomon took notice of the dragon's actions.
"Gallantmon! Look out behind you!" Mega Gargomon calls out.
"Takato! Get away from there!" exclaimed Sakuyamon. "He's got a target set on you and Beelzebumon!"
"I should have known you'd pull off such a cowardly maneuver," Gallantmon muttered.
"You shouldn't have trusted me! Now you pay for it with your lives!"
Just as the monster was nearly about to carry out his threat, a group of mysterious figures came jumping out from the bushes. Wardevidramon watched as one walloped him in the head with a double-edged hammer, while another delivers a spinning kick to his face.
"What was that?!"
"Draining Rain!!"
The cyborg looked up to find a dark cloud looming over him. The cloud creates a downpour of water, which only manages to give Wardevidramon a wash.
"Who dares to interfere with their executions? Show yourselves!"
"It thee be our pleasure," a familiar, arrogant voice speaks.
The vigilantes eventually stepped out from the shadows to reveal themselves. Wardevidramon turns around to find four warriors. One of which was Mercuremon.
"Who might you four be?" Wardevidramon growls deeply. "You shall pay for interfering."
"That is no concern of yours. I say that you really have been giving these Tamers a rather hard time," Ranamon said. "How about we even the odds?"
"Why not face all of us at once? Or is that too much for ya, boy?" Arbormon threatened.
"You dare to refer to me with disrespect, cretin?! Very well. You four will die with the Tamers! Maybe then, Pharaohmon will reward me!"
"A friend to Pharaohmon is an enemy to us and we don't like it when you pick on others for personal gain," Grottomon said "Tamers, if you'd be so kind…"
"Allow us to step in while you recover from you're injuries," Ranamon said.
"But what chance do you have against the likes of him?!" asked Mega Gargomon. "In case if you hadn't noticed, but this guy kicked our butts all over the place."
Ranamon simply gives a smile to Mega Gargomon and nods her head.
"Don't worry, little brother. We'll take care of this mess for you," the warrior of water thought.
"But they're not even megas," Sakuyamon commented.
"Hey! What's this all about?!" Kazu wondered. "Talk about a surprise entrance…"
"Hey, at least, they are on our side," Jeri said. "Or are they?"
"I don't know. We've run into too many wackos lately. There's no telling who's a friend and who's an enemy?" Kenta said.
"I can assure you lads that we're fighting the good fight," Mercuremon replied. "Though, you really don't have to trust us. There's a good chance that we may eventually become enemies. You have been fore warned."
"Uh, thanks for the warning!" Kazu calls out. "You just can't trust anyone anymore. What's the world gone to?"
"This is quite amusing. Neither side has faith in one another. You're mistrust will eventually lead to your downfall. It gives me a greater opportunity to tear you apart one by one."
"You shall face us, monster," Arbormon said. "Now get ready for an ol' fashioned butt whooping!"
"But can they actually be reliable? Where are those other legendary warriors? We could use their help right about now," Gallantmon thought.
Wardevidramon sits up as he prepared to face off with the four legendary warriors. The Tamers began to doubt their positions. Nonetheless, they were going to help them in any way possible. Could their combined efforts be sufficient to bringing down Wardevidramon?
Middle of the Pacific Ocean
After striking a deal with Rei Hino, Takuya and his group agreed to crossover the Pacific Ocean to retrieve Ami and Cammy. They did so by evolving into their evolved forms. Vritramon, Garmmon and Fairymon provided the flight transportation. Blitzmon rode on Garmmon's back, while Chakkoumon hung tightly around Vritramon's left leg.
"Um, nice view there, Izumi!" Blitzmon commented on Fairymon's revealing backside.
"Pervert," Fairymon thought. "Keep it up, Junpei. I promise that I'll rip those grapefruits of yours and stomp on them."
"She can be so cute when she's angry."
"Yeah. Tell me about it," Vritramon said. "Man, I should have told Sailor Mars that I was sea sick. But I can't let the sea get to me. I promised to retrieve her sister and a friend of hers. I'm going to make sure to deliver them safely. After all, we did strike a deal. Hopefully, they're handling Pharaohmon without us."
The warriors continued their long journey through the Pacific Ocean, while attempting to avoid human contact and storms along the way. Their destined stop would be to San Francisco Bay. They were to prevent Ami and Cammy to take the plane flight before it was too late.
Domino City. Construction Site.
"You're finished, Yugi!" Felinismon exclaimed. "My Big Koala will attack your Big Shield Gardna! Since he's in attack mode, then you'll end up losing a chunk of your life points!"
"Yug! You have to counter!" Joey cried out.
"Heh, your overconfidence has blinded you, Felinismon. Reveal my facedown card! It's a magic card called Dark Hole!"
"Huh?! That doesn't sound good!"
"For you, it isn't. This card destroys all monsters on both sides of the field! That includes your Big Koala!"
"Oh, no! My precious Koala and Mantis are gone!"
"That also includes your fairies. Now you can't gain anymore 1000 point add-ups to your life points."
"All right! Way to turn the tables, Yug!"
"Whew. Thankfully, his life points have been spared," Tea said with a sigh of relief.
"It's not over yet. Felinismon still leads 5400 to Yugi's 3400," Tristan said.
"What are you, Tristan? Some kind of announcer?" Joey asked. "We're here to support our bud!"
"That was a close one. I was glad to have Dark Hole at my disposal. Otherwise, I would have lost more life points. Now we can start this duel back from scratch."
"You were lucky there, Yugi! But you are only delaying the inevitable," Felinismon chuckled. "Soon, your puzzle and those three god cards will belong to Lord Pharaohmon."
"But this duel is not over, Felinismon. It's your move."
"Just you wait, Yugi. I'm going to humiliate you and make my Lord Pharaohmon proud! On the other hand, I might spare your life if you summon another Kuriboh. Aww, I can just huggle one right now."
The feline began to have fantasy thoughts of herself in a bed covered with Kuribohs. She visualized her chibi-self hugging a Kuriboh.
"Aw, I want one. I want one," Felinismon said while squealing like a child.
"Um, can we continue with our deal?" Yami asked.
"Huh? Oh yeah. Sure. You're going down, Yugi! You're about to taste defeat by yours truly! By the way, make sure to summon another Kuriboh. Those fur balls are so cute!"
"She's starting to get on my nerves," Tea muttered.
"You said! Hey, get serious! You're dueling my buddy!" Joey growled angrily.
"I am taking this seriously, but I can't help it if a Kuriboh catches my attention. I may be a beautiful mistress, but I'm still a child inside. Tee-hee!"
"Let's just continue with this duel already," Yami spoke out.
"Feh, you're no fun. Fine. Let us continue!"
Shibuya Park
Lance reveals himself from out of the bushes and waves over to the Sailor Senshi. They immediately spun around to prepare for their assault.
"You're mine, you bastard!" Sailor Mars screamed.
"Now. Now. You all will get your turn. What I'm here for is to capture three of your energy brooches. Now, which ones shall I steal?"
"You won't be stealing anything from anyone! That includes our power brooches," Sailor Jupiter spoke up.
"That's what you think, Senshi. I already have chosen the brooches of choice. That will be you Mars. Jupiter and Venus, you two had better watch your backs. I'm only a few steps away from achieving my destiny of freeing my dark soul out of this body. This is merely the calm of the storm, which is about to come."
Finally, Lance has thrown down his game plan and seeks to take away the energy brooches from Mars, Jupiter and Venus. Can he carry out his plan successfully or will the Senshi squash his brilliant scheme? Mercuremon and his allies have arrived to help the Tamers deal with Wardevidramon. Will they overcome the monster's wrath? Can Yugi manage to make a comeback in his duel with Felinismon? His Millennium Puzzle and god cards are at stake! Meanwhile, Kurama must come up with a new strategy if he hopes to defeat Brimstone. Hurry, Inumon! Your friends are in a deep mess and are desperate of more allies!
