Chapter 23: Hassle in El Paso
Situated in the fringes of Hollywood, the film studio had seen better days when it was still in use by its former occupants, Global Studios Inc. With the Digimon moving in to it as a base of operations, the studio underwent a drastic change. Cobwebs which once covered forgotten corners and walls were replaced by brand new film equipment and gear. The run down buildings and offices came alive once again with the bustle of disguised Digimon working within their walls.
The Warriors bumped into the dark-haired, goateed director, their old friend Betsumon in disguise. He was overseeing the shooting of a new movie. "Hi guys, how would you like to be the stars of my next film?"
"Us stars?" asked Brock. "Hey, that would be great! I've always wanted the valley girls to go wild over me, like totally!"
"Oh brother..." muttered Zoe.
"So what's you next film about?" asked Tommy.
"You'll love it! It's a monster movie, but not just any monster movie. It's going to be about the Legendary Warriors stomping through Leviamon's goons. It will be fabulous! There will be horror, explosions, and intense fights. There will be Sinners coming at them from all sides, yet the Warriors still come out on top. Who knows? Maybe there will be even a little romance on the side. The best part is you guys will have the lead role!" said Betsumon, gesturing enthusiastically as he described his project.
"Hmm... Looks like this film is based on a true story," remarked JP.
Betsumon chuckled. "It is my friend; it is, so let's starting stomping Sinners right away! Leviamon's reinforcements come in the form of Green-Eyed Monsters, people who became more than a little jealous of their buddies. Leviamon thought it would be fun to cut them up and sew them back together to give them what they wanted. He even hid his labs so no one would go to spoil his fun. Unfortunately, he didn't hide them well enough."
Betsumon described the locations of where Leviamon hid the lab facilities which churned out his Green-Eyed Monsters. The Lord of Envy owned a trio of beauty and spa resorts which acted as front companies for his operations. Under these resorts were labs where his servants performed the hideous operations that created new Green-Eyed Monsters. Leviamon's servants routinely kidnapped people or tricked them into going to the resorts; people who displayed strong envy and jealousy. They also took the subject of these emotions in as well.
Once secured in the labs, his servants performed operations on the two, making sure that the traits coveted by the envious were given to him or her once joined together as a Green-Eyed Monster. No two Green-Eyed Monsters were completely alike, as each envious person coveted a different thing from his or her target. However, all Green-Eyed Monsters had the common traits of snakes growing out of their backs, as well as glowing emerald green eyes as signs of the original sin. Betsumon talked about one of these Sinners in particular, a man once known as Dr. Green.
"Dr. Green is a Green-Eyed Monster who was patched together from Dr. Nathan Green and Dr. John Cooper, his chief rival. Though both men were leaders in the field of medicine, Dr. Cooper did something his rival couldn't do in his entire career; he found a cure for cancer. Naturally, Dr. Green flew off the deep end. The Green-Eyed Monsters captured him and his rival and turned them into the monster they are today."
"Blech," remarked JP as he looked over a photo of the doctor.
"Yep," said Betsumon. "Now they're cutting people up and reassembling them like Frankenstein's monster. We know where they're hiding their labs. Once we're ready, we're cutting the funding to this project."
A week later, the Warriors found themselves on the roof of a building overlooking the Aphrodite Beauty Parlour and resort. The resort was a beautiful place made of stone with columns and reliefs of the Greek goddess. The lush and green vegetation served a beautiful compliment to the beautiful statues of the Greek goddess herself. The statues portrayed Aphrodite in various poses from standing to reclining on furniture. A few even portrayed the goddess of love in the nude.
Brock was enjoying himself as he watched the swimming pool. "Wow, look at all those gorgeous girls!"
"Easy there fella, some of those 'good looking girls' may be mutant freaks in disguise," warned Betsumon.
"It certainly looks like a nice place. I'd like to go there sometime," remarked Zoe.
"Bad idea, unless you want to be cut up and sewn back together," said Betsumon. "The labs are underground. The resort is just a cover for it. We're tunnelling in and removing them like the cancer they are." Betsumon responded to a message from his forces. "Okay, they're almost in. Let's get ready!"
The Warriors assumed their Human Hybrid forms while the trainers released Pokemon in the form of Forretress and Alakazam. They watched as the dirt scattered everywhere as Digmon sappers drilled away at underground earthen walls. They were aided by a series of crimson dinosaur Digimon who clawed away the dirt to widen the entry tunnel. The dinosaurs had a series of black markings of unknown origin. They looked both ferocious and cute at the same time. They seemed like dogs from the way their used their claws to dig up the ground and walls.

Name: Guilmon
Attributes: Virus, Rookie, Fire type
Despite appearances, Guilmon are actually quite adorable and friendly for the most part. Once something or someone threatens them though, they become feral and fearsome opponents.
Special Abilities/Traits:
Tunnelling, Keen sense of smell
Pyro Sphere - Guilmon can spit a ball of flame from his mouth that explodes on contact with its intended target.
The Digimon punched through the earthen wall to meet the sight of massive sterile room. At the centre was a vat filled with a strange green liquid whose purpose was unknown. Everywhere in the room were Green-Eyed Monster scientists and technicians milling about. Some were at computers entering and receiving data from their experiments. Others were gathered around the vat to monitor the condition of the precious liquid within. The Digimon paid them a greeting through the shooting of fireballs into the room, taking out two of the monsters in booming explosions.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" cried a Green-Eyed guard.
The alarm klaxon blared shrilly as crimson light flooded the lab area. A Gargomon squad stormed into the room with guns blazing. The dog commandoes mowed down every Green-Eyed Monster that dared cross their path. They aimed their fire at a catwalk above, gunning down one of the monsters there. The shots staggered the monster, causing her to accidentally tumble over the railing and fall head first into the ground. The guards returned fire as the Gargomon pressed their advance.
Brock and Forretress entered the scene once the Gargomon and Guilmon cleared a path with their first strike. A surviving Green-Eyed Monster caught sight of the trainer and rushed him with all its might, but Brock saw the attack well in advance. "Forretress, Secret Power!"
The Bagworm Pokemon unleashed a coherent beam of green energy which hurtled the attacker into a wall. The Green-Eyed Monster left a deep indentation as it crashed into the wall at full force. The demon slumped over and fell out of the hole and onto the ground. A bolt of lightning streaked by before Forretress, followed by a hail of snowballs. The elemental blasts picked off a horde of guards trying to enter the room.
Brendan's Alakazam telekinetically ripped a computer monitor off of a nearby desk and slammed it into the side of a monster's head. As the guard wandered about dazed, the Psi Pokemon hoisted it into the air and smashed it into the underside of the catwalk. He helped the guard get off the catwalk by smashing him hard into the ground. Alakazam sensed guards entering the room to help and threw their buddy into them, knocking them down like bowling pins.
"Let's keep going, we've got the enemy on the ropes!" cried Brendan.
The Warriors and trainers ran down the hall and were accosted by Green-Eyed Monsters on the way to Dr. Green. Kazemon blew a gust of hurricane strength wind which floored the enemy. Chakkumon lobbed an endless volley of snowballs. Beetlemon fanned out bolts of devastating lightning. Alakazam psychically slammed Green-Eyed Monsters together like dolls. The elemental blasts bunched the monsters together for Forretress to deliver his Secret Power as the coup de grace.
The heroes burst into Dr. Green's office to find him absent. A nearby bookcase had been moved aside to reveal a hidden passageway in the wall. The Warriors ran down the hall as fast they could, eventually to find the doctor far in the distance, running towards something ahead. "You're not getting away!" cried Kazemon.
As the group came to an exit, Green-Eyed Monsters pounced on Kazemon and Beetlemon. The two Warriors were drawn into battle with these fiends. "We'll hold them off! Get the doctor!" cried Kazemon.
Chakkumon and the trainers gave no argument as they continued pursuit of their quarry. The rogue doctor ran through trees and shrubs of a wooded wilderness in his attempt to flee his pursuers. Brendan, Brock, and Chakkumon didn't give up one bit even as he cut a tree down to block their path. For almost five minutes, they continued to chase the doctor until he came across a stony cove that barred his path. The walls were so high that there was no way he could climb up in time to get away. He was trapped.
"Okay doctor, this is the end of the line!" said Chakkumon.
"If I can't get away, then I'll fight to the bitter end!" stated Dr. Green.
The doctor's snakes spit globs of venom which the trainers and Chakkumon dodged. The venom struck a nearby by tree and corroded a gaping hole through the trunk. Chakkumon lined up his rocket launcher to spew a flurry of snowballs. The doctor leapt out of the way and spit retaliatory balls of acid which were dodged. Alakazam froze the doctor in mid-air with a Psychic attack. Despite a great struggle, the doctor was unable to break free of the hold. He managed to move his snakes enough for them to spit at Alakazam and Brendan.
Brendan panicked. "Barrier, quick!"
Alakazam erected a wall of coherent light that stopped the acid dead in its tracks. However, in doing so, Alakazam had released his hold on the doctor, allowing the monster to be free to renew his attack. Dr. Green's snakes lunged at Chakkumon, which he avoided by weaving past the attacks. By surprise, Forretress rammed into the doctor, throwing him off his rhythm. The Warrior of Ice wheeled around and blew Crystal Freeze which immobilized the doctor for the kill. The doctor responded by swatting at Chakkumon, who dodged the attack easily.
Alakazam telekinetically lifted the doctor and slammed him into the mountain wall. Chakkumon followed with a blast of freezing wind, encasing him an icy, crystalline cocoon attached to the stony wall. Forretress applied the coup de grace, a Secret Power which punctured a gaping hole into Dr. Green's body. With his death, the doctor melted into a puddle of green, gooey acid which hissed at it corroded the mountain and dripped to the ground.
El Paso, Texas was once a beautiful sprawling metropolis in the deserts of the US. It was a true multicultural town, where whites and Hispanics living side by side peacefully. In fact, El Paso overlooked its sister city in Mexico, Ciudad Juarez, from the north side. It was a city with strategic value as it was situated at the crossroads between three states in two different countries. From this city, one could enter the states of New Mexico and Texas in the US, and Chihuahua in Mexico. Today, after the evil visited by the Demon Lords, that beauty and peace had been defiled with the utmost disregard.
The city of El Paso was in ruins. Homes of people from both ethnicities lay in rubble with their owners left destitute by demonic marauders. Businesses and stores burned in the night, filling the sky with enough smoke to blot out the moon. An inhuman growling and snarling stirred from hidden recesses between the ruins. Along the south bank of the Rio Grande river ran a line of sandbagged and barricaded fortifications. The sound of machineguns firing echoed from this bulwark throughout the night, shattering the silence as nothing else could. A swoosh filled the air followed by an explosion which lit the all encompassing darkness.
As the Sinners continued their advance southwards to Ciudad Juarez, they were unaware of the threat from the northwest. In this area was a set of mountains that was left unattended in the Sinners' preoccupation with the south. Within the stony mountain ran several tunnels lit by electrical lanterns. Digimon of all kinds moved about the tunnels, moving equipment and weapons into position for a prolonged engagement with the Sinners.
Youkomon made her rounds of the base hidden within a valley deep within the mountain's crags. The base consisted of a group of white, dome-like buildings. They were special portable bases created by technological Digimon for beachheads and forward bases. They hummed almost inaudibly as their electronics provided the conveniences the Digimon needed. There was a tension in the air as Digimon prepared for the inevitable battle with Belphemon and Leviamon.
Cherubimon's Warrior group met up with Youkomon before the entrance of one of these domes. "Hi Youkomon," greeted Misty.
"This place is so beautiful," remarked May.
"So, how are we gonna tackle the Demon Lords?" asked Max. "We know two of them are here, leading the army of Sinners."
"Glad you asked," replied Youkomon. "Thing is, now isn't the right time to attack them. We have the element of surprise on our side. We'll wait for the right moment before we strike."
"...But what about the people in Ciudad Juarez?" asked Koichi. "We can't abandon them to the Sinners!"
"You're right, but we also shouldn't do anything rash. The Mexicans can hold out for at least a little while longer. We're going to wait until the Demon Lords make a big attack on the south. Once they do, we'll have them right where we want them. Their forces will be out of place, and because of your friends, they won't even have any reinforcements coming to help them," narrated Youkomon on the plans for the attack.
With nothing left to do, the Warriors decided to relax while they could before the big battle. Shinya hit the computer room to write some E-mail for Amata over in Detroit. "Hi Amata, how are you doing?" asked Shinya in the body of the E-mail. "I'm near El Paso. Everything's great here. We're gonna finish up the last two demons before we take on the big guy."
"Hi Shinya!" exclaimed May. Shinya to nearly jump out of his skin. "Whatcha doing?"
"Oh nothing!" replied Shinya as he tried to hide his E-mail.
"Let's see... Oh! A love letter?" asked May after sneaking a peak at the bits that Shinya left uncovered. "...And it's for Amata! I never knew you were so romantic, Shinya." May smiled as a token of appreciation for Shinya's softer, romantic side. It wasn't often that boys were like that.
Shinya blushed. "Oh, it's nothing."
May sighed wistfully. "Oh Shinya, you don't know how great it is to be in love!"
"Cut it out!" chided Shinya, still blushing from embarrassment.
"Oh yeah I almost forgot, Youkomon sent me here to tell you that it looks like the Sinners are heading out. We're going for the boss tomorrow night."
"Okay, got it!"
"Say hi to Amata for me!" said May with a wink and a girlish chuckle.
The next day came and went away with the night blanketing the city of El Paso. From their nooks and crannies stirred thousands of Sinners of all kinds. The Sleepwalkers plodded ahead with a lethargic unwillingness to move. The Metalmen gazed at Ciudad Juarez with a glint of desire for its riches. The Cannibals licked their lips in anticipation of a feast of human flesh. The Green-Eyed Monsters' emerald eyes burned with the desire to incorporate new genetic traits into their beings. The Ragefires roared with unholy rage to terrify their enemies. The Seducers chuckled seductively, eager to find immoral pleasure at the expense of the survivors. No matter what type of Sinner they were, all were prepared to massacre the people of Ciudad Juarez.
As the demons moved towards the river, Mexico's bulwark came alive with activity. The Mexican soldiers pelted the advancing line of Sinners with everything they could muster. Bullets, missiles, and bombs flew from the bulwark as a rain of destruction on El Paso on the other side of the river. One of the Seducers fell out of the sky having been mowed down by a hail of bullets. Her wings had been cut to pieces by the relentless onslaught of machinegun fire from the soldiers. A Cannibal approached the river only to have a rocket make a beeline for his head, felling the monster in a single hit. On and on, the two sides exchanged fire with no one willing to back down.
As the Sinners had their hands full with zealous Mexican fighters, they were about to get a second problem. From across the ruins of El Paso came a horde of Digimon charging into battle with cries of furor. The group of Digimon was as rag-tag as a group could be; from the ferocious Greymon to the small, but adorably cute Gatomon. Within seconds, several Sinners had been trampled underneath the charge. The Sinners and the Digimon clashed midway into the city, lighting the night sky with endless streams of elemental fire.
Behind the Sinners' lines, a Seducer rushed to meet her masters. The first was a massive demonic creature, a crocodile mutated by the very powers of darkness that it used. Its tail was divided into two and whipped about as thought it had a life of its own. Its scaly skin was as crimson as the human blood it loved to shed. This monster had a huge set of jaws filled with teeth sharp enough to crush even the most powerful metal and stone.
The second was a hulking brute with a dog-like head crowned by a pair of long horns like that of a goat. It had droopy, sleepy eyes filled with malice and hatred. This unholy creature had brown fur, dark almost to the point of being as black as his heart. A giant pair of violet, leathery wings cloaked his body with an imposing visage. Even the glittering golden bracelets and anklets of this creature had a darkness about them that was not of the world.

Name: Leviamon
Attributes: Virus, Mega level, Dark/Water
This demonic, crocodilian Digimon is also the Demon Lord of Envy. He doesn't shed any tears for the harm he causes in giving the most covetous people that which they desire. His gifts come with a terrible price; enslavement as a Green-Eyed Monster.
Special Abilities/Traits:
Amphibious, elemental powers: dark/water, poison breathing
Rostrum (Dark) - Leviamon's massive jaws are perfect for biting into smaller prey. His teeth are tainted by negative energy which saps the victim's energy.
Cauda (Normal) - Leviamon's dual tails function much as a whip would. He used this technique to lash out at his enemies with surprising speed for a Digimon of his size.
-Digimon Analyzer
Name: Belphemon
Attributes: Virus, Mega level, Dark/Grass
This lethargic, lazy Digimon is the Demon Lord of Sloth. He is the goof of the seven Demon Lords. His brethren have to prod him in order to get him to do anything at all.
Special Abilities/Traits:
Flight, elemental powers: dark/nature
Lampranthus (Grass) - Belphemon can cause a special flowering plant called the lampranthus to grow. It has a violet flower which spews out a pollen which is both toxic and corrosive to the touch.
Gift of Darkness (Dark) - Belphemon can produce spheres of darkness which he lobs as grenades. This attack is far more destructive than a mere grenade, able to level buildings and even entire city blocks.
"Masters, the Digimon are attacking our western perimeter!" exclaimed the panicked Seducer.
"What?" asked Belphemon in shock.
"Where are our reinforcements from Miami and Los Angeles?" asked Leviamon. "Aren't they sending over troops?"
"That's the thing. They have been destroyed!" reported the Seducer. "We've lost contact with Los Angeles and the Miami base is on fire!"
"Why hasn't that area been fortified yet? Belphemon, that was your job!" scolded Leviamon.
"Oh, it's my fault now? I was going to send troops there but you ordered them to the east because you thought the enemy would ambush us from there! Don't blame me for your incompetence!"
"Save it, Belphemon. Now is not the time. Seducer, tell our eastern perimeter troops to move to the western perimeter on the double. Don't let the Digimon come any closer to our base!"
Back at the Demon Lords' western perimeter, the Digimon fought with a ferocity that more than matched that of the Sinners. Cherubimon's Warrior group snuck past ruins of once towering office buildings and malls away from the main battle. To the south, they could see the frenzied battle between their Digimon allies and the Sinners. It lit the sky ablaze with streaks of energy of all colours of the rainbow from fiery red blasts to dark violet bolts of negative energy. The Warriors soon came upon the two Demons Lords, which May scanned with her Pokedex. They had several Sinners surrounding them, but no one was aware of their presence.
"How do we fight so many enemies?" asked Shinya.
"We need to get rid of those guards first," suggested Max. "That way, we can concentrate only on the Demon Lords."
"How about this; you guys surround the Sinners. I'll evolve into Reichmon and use Black Theorem and pull a few of them into the black hole. At that moment, all of you will evolve to your Fusion forms, and then eliminate or push as many of the guards into the hole."
"That sounds like a plan," said Max.
"Okay, we can pull this one off!" chanted May to build up courage.
"We have to get rid of the guards fast. I don't want to have to deal with them when we fight with Belphemon and Leviamon," said Max.
The Warriors fanned out according to the plan and surrounded the Demon Lords' group. Once everyone was in place, Koichi immediately transformed into Reichmon, and created a Black Theorem. The tendrils of mystical symbols snatched and dragged an unsuspecting Green-Eyed Monster and a Ragefire to their doom in the black abyss. At once the group noticed the attack but it was too late. Demi Wisemon magically moved ripped metal girders from the ruins of a nearby skyscraper and tied up and dragged a pair of Seducers into the black hole. The others followed suit, eventually knocking all of the Demon Lords' court into the pit of darkness.
"So, you came to us. Well, it saves me the trouble of having to find you!" taunted Belphemon.
"Well, now we're here. Deal with it!" retorted Diamon, who ripped a boulder from the ground and hurled it at the Lord of Sloth.
Belphemon punched the boulder, shattering it into countless number of pieces. He proceeded to charge at and knock the Warrior of Earth onto this back. From behind, a Red Cross clipped him. Maridmon slammed into the Demon Lord as he staggered forward, the Tsunami Crasher knocking him onto his stomach. At this moment, Diamon got up, ripped a second boulder from the ground, and smashed it into Belphemon. Despite such a great combination of attacks, Belphemon was not ready to give up yet.
The Demon Lord caused many Lampranthuses to grow in the ground of ruined El Paso. The warped flowers released violet pollen into the air which corroded rubble and stone into nothingness. The Warriors moved out of range to evade the caustic effects. Belphemon formed a Gift of Darkness and hurled it at Maridmon. Its explosion put the Warrior of Water flat on her back. Diamon came in with an overhead chop which smashed the Demon Lord into the ground. Maridmon recovered and toppled Belphemon with gallons of jetted water.
Demi Wisemon fired an energy beam at Leviamon which struck and staggered the beast's advance. Dryamon sprayed a cloud of Eucalyptus Gas, spreading the blistering fog all over the Lord of Envy's back. Leviamon shook off the burning fog and lashed out at Demi Wisemon with his tail, smashing him into the ruins of a convenience store. He spit an acidic gas onto the Warrior of Metal, who teleported away to regroup with Dryamon. The two fired beams of energy which cut down Leviamon from behind his legs. Even with such a combined attack, he was able to get up.
"You gnats annoy me!" growled the Lord of Envy.
He spit a fog of gas which Demi Wisemon and Dryamon dodged. It corroded the ground and rubble into nothingness merely by touching it. Suddenly, Leviamon's tails lurched out and slapped Demi Wisemon in the face. "Demi Wisemon are you..." asked Dryamon, before having a Rostrum attack clamped onto her.
"Grrr!" growled Demi Wisemon, who gathered tons of metal from the local environment into a ball and smashed it into Leviamon, forcing him to release the Warrior of Wood.
"Sis, are you okay?" asked Demi Wisemon.
All of the Warriors regrouped around Dryamon. "I'm fine. Let's get that overgrown Croconaw!" she said.
Leviamon sprayed poison gas on the Warriors who dodged the effect and returned fire. A Red Cross, Vortex Trident water jet, and an Evil Eye beam all collided with Leviamon, knocking him onto his belly. Belphemon counter attacked, striking Maridmon with the Gift of Darkness. He threw a second one which Reichmon banked sideways to avoid. Demi Wisemon unleashed a stream of energy which shoved the Lord of Sloth backwards. However, he fought his way through the stream to grab the eye ball and hurl him into an approaching Diamon to take both Warriors out.
As the last two Warriors still standing, Dryamon and Reichmon looked around to check on the condition of their friends. Maridmon was slumped over the ground, still reeling from the last Gift of Darkness. Demi Wisemon was lying on the ground from the pain of being hurled into Diamon. The Warrior of Earth was dazed and still trying to recover from the last attack. It was up to these two Warriors to take over the battle where their comrades could not.
"Dryamon, it's up to us now!" stated Reichmon before firing a Red Cross down at Belphemon.
The Demon Lord raised his arms in defence before taking to the air to face the enemy. He threw a Gift of Darkness which was dodged but burst in mid air, hurling Reichmon around with the flak. Reichmon countered with a Black Theorem; its symbolic tendrils lashing away at Belphemon. The Lord of Sloth spit a blob of darkness which Reichmon dodged with ease. He forced his Lampranthuses to grow on his own body to spew gas. It engulfed Reichmon and burned him painfully like nothing else could. Though Reichmon channelled darkness to destroy the pollen, the damage was already done.
Dryamon was not having any success with Leviamon either. The Warrior of Wood forced massive vines to grow and entangle the giant crocodile's legs. With him immobilized, she exhaled a blistering cloud of gas. As it burned Leviamon, she proceeded to pelt the Demon Lord with endless volleys of Photo Blasts to finish him off as soon as possible. Indeed, the attack was enough to leave even Leviamon reeling, but it was not enough to finish him off. The Lord of Envy snapped the vines and spit a blast of water which felled the Warrior of Wood.
"Uggh, these guys are so strong!" remarked Dryamon.
"We have to keep going," urged Reichmon. "The others still haven't recovered yet. If we can't hold them off, they're done for!"
"We're going to be done for at this rate!"
"We have to keep going. They're counting on us."
Through sheer determination, Reichmon and Dryamon renewed the battle. The Warrior of Darkness fired Red Crosses at Leviamon and Belphemon, who entered into a defensive stance to weather the attack. Dryamon supported her counterpart, shelling the Demon Lords with all the Photo Blasts she could fire. The ground all around the Demon Lords exploded in crimson and golden energy, kicking up dust and dirt in all-engulfing cloud. After several seconds of non-stop firing, the two Warriors stopped to let the dust settle. Suddenly, Belphemon began to claw the smoke away, dissipating the cloud prematurely.
"That measly light show isn't enough to stop me!" decried Leviamon.
"Grr... I'm growing tired of you guys. No more Mr. Nice Guy!" cried Belphemon.
Belphemon lobbed a Gift of Darkness which the two Warriors scattered to avoid. It burst upon hitting the ground releasing flak harmlessly. Leviamon jetted gallons of water which caught Reichmon mid air and shoved him into the ground with a hard thud. Belphemon spit a blob of darkness which smacked Dryamon across the face and sent her crashing into the ground. Now, all of the Warriors were down and in deep trouble.
"Well, that's wasn't too hard. I didn't need to break a sweat. Just the way I like it," commented Belphemon.
"So my brother, you want to do the honours?" asked Leviamon.
"Nah, I'm just going to sit here and relax." Belphemon reclined on the ground and let out a big yawn.
"Oh well suit yourself."
Reichmon and Dryamon picked themselves off the ground. "I'm not finished yet!" stated Reichmon.
"As long as people that care about me need me, I won't quit, not while I'm still alive!" said Dryamon.
"Just look at you guys. You can barely stand up and yet you still want to fight? You're fools; both of you! All that matters in life is one thing, yourself. The strong rise up and take what they want, in whatever way they can!" decried Leviamon.
"You're selfish, just like all the other Demon Lords," observed Dryamon. "The only way anyone will ever follow you is if you force them to, but forcing people will only get you so far. You don't know how great it is to have others give to you because it is what they want. You don't know how wonderful it is to have someone who really supports you. I have a brother, I have friends who believe in me and trust me completely. I wouldn't trade that for anything in the world. You can't say that about your Green-Eyed Monsters. That's why you're the one who's really weak!"
"Yeah, you tell him Dryamon!" said Reichmon with gusto.
"May..." mumbled Max as he heard his sister's words.
Belphemon just yawned in apathy, while Leviamon smirked. "No power at all? I don't think you even realize the dire predicament you two are in. I'm the one holding all the cards now. Now prepare to meet your maker!"
Leviamon sprayed a jet of water strong enough to crush Dryamon in its wake. Suddenly, the Spirits of Wood emerged from her body, forcing her to become May once again. The jet water magically veered in a different direction to strike the reclining Belphemon instead. "Glug glug... What the hell? I didn't... glug... even... glug... do anything!"
May glowed with a verdant aura, while Koichi glowed with violet light. "Yeah, now it's time I show you that I meant what I said," declared May.
"Execute, Unified Spirit Evolution!" cried the two Warriors in unison.
Bushes and trees sprouted from the ground until a great forest grew in the barren lands. A mysterious force dragged the trees together to coalesce into a sphere of pure wood. From this sphere grew two pairs of hoofed legs as it elongated into a mare's head and body. A tangle mass of verdant vines grew from her head and neck to form the mare's hair. A second set of vines grew on her rear, forming the mare's bushy tail. An echoing neigh pierced the air as the mare stomped her feet into the ground and sprayed a fog of white gas into the air.
"Siege Trojamon!"
As Koichi began his evolution, the land fell into the darkness of night. A puddle of inky darkness formed on the ground which the Warrior of Darkness sank into. A pair of crimson lights pierced the pool as a massive figure arose from it. The darkness dripped from its body like a vile, filthy ooze to reveal its true form as a chimeric beast. Several ghostly violet skeletons were raising the creature out of the darkness as though it was their king. The beast was a mechanical being with the head of a ram and the body of a lion. The beast leapt from its servants into a sun-lit land and breathed clouds of black fog, turning day into night.

"Come get us if you can," taunted Criosphinxmon.
Leviamon spewed an acid cloud which corroded everything in its path to the Warriors. Criosphinxmon moved higher into the sky while Siege Trojamon leapt away to safety. The Warrior of Wood began to run in circles around Leviamon, firing her side mounted cannons each step of the way. The running confused the Demon Lord greatly while her seeds pelted the massive crocodile. Leviamon lashed out with his tail, sending Siege Trojamon to the ground.
From the sky Criosphinxmon rained Ebony Riddles, riddling the crocodile with glowing gold hieroglyphs. They began to drain his energy while keeping Leviamon tangled up and unable to make a viable counter. Eventually, Leviamon broke the bands of hieroglyphs and breathed acid to drive the dark Warrior away. However, Criosphinxmon returned to the attack quite quickly, instigating a Necro Insurgency under the Demon Lord. The skeletons ganged on the crocodile, who swatted them away with the lashings of Cauda.
"Criosphinxmon, let's do this one together!" called Siege Trojamon.
"I'm with you!" replied Criosphinxmon.
Criosphinxmon summoned more skeletons through his dark portal who ganged and piled up on Leviamon by the hundreds. They proceeded to drag the crocodile towards the tar-like portal, albeit at a snail's pace. To speed the process up, Siege Trojamon lobbed Walnut Bursters as fast as she could. The nutty shells burst in explosions which scattered seeds all over his body like shrapnel. The pain forced the crocodile to back up closer to the inky pit. The skeletons continued to drag him closer with all the strength they could muster.
Leviamon glanced backwards at the doom that awaited him. "I'm not going in without a fight!"
He swatted away the skeletons like rag dolls and began spraying jets of water. Criosphinxmon dodged an inbound stream while Siege Trojamon pounced away from her's. "You're finished, Leviamon. No one is coming to save you. You have abandoned and betrayed everyone and now you must face the consequences," warned Criosphinxmon. "Siege Trojamon, let's finish him off!"
"Right!" agreed the Warrior of Wood, who lobbed Walnut Bursters filled with Eucalyptus Haze.
The thick blistering haze burned at the crocodile's eyes, causing him to slump to the ground in pain. More skeletons burst out of the dark pit and piled onto Leviamon. Through their combined might, the skeletons dragged the Demon Lord in, successfully pulling his tail into the inky black void. However, Leviamon was immensely powerful and was unwilling to be dragged to his death. Even with two Unified Hybrids pounding on him, his resilience still allowed him to continue to resist being dragged to his death.
"Siege Trojamon!" cried Maridmon. "I'll help too!" Maridmon fired a jet of water which struck Leviamon's chin and caused him to cock his head back. His hind legs sank into the dark pit, leaving him hanging on to dear life with only his front legs.
"Come me in!" Shinya followed by pelting the Demon Lord with diamond bullets. Leviamon slipped back and his front legs came close to the brink of an inky doom.
"Sis, I'm right behind you. Don't give up!" cheered Demi Wisemon, who fired an Evil Eye beam.
The silvery beam slammed into Leviamon, finally driving the monster's body into the pit. His front legs sank into the ebony abyss as the Warriors kept their fire on him at all times. The skeletons leapt on top of the beast and proceeded to stomp on him to push him in further. Now, only his head jutted from the inky darkness. The Warriors continued to fire on him, forcing those massive jaws into the abyss. Soon, Leviamon was consumed the very darkness he had brought to America and the Real World.
"We won! Awesome!" cheered Siege Trojamon.
"Not quite. There's just one thing we need to do," said Criosphinxmon, turning his gaze Belphemon. The Lord of Sloth was trying to tip-toe away, but was caught red-handed.
The Warriors surrounded the cowardly Demon Lord. "Now guys, let's not be hasty..." said Belphemon in a feeble attempt to con his way out of retribution.
"Please step into the black circle," stated Criosphinxmon, uneager to mince words.
"Now now, let's not be hasty! There's no need for violence. I'm sure if we talk this through..."
"Get in!" cried Maridmon.
"Okay, okay!" Belphemon jumped into the pit, which closed itself behind him.
"Now we win!" said Criosphinxmon, returning into his true form as Koichi.
"Ash, I'm coming for you. Please hold on," said Misty in her mind.
