Chapter 13: Darnell Lunaria, the Planet of the Keys
"Ah, you must be Queen Pandora's chosens, are you not?" the cloaked man in front asked, causing Ash to look at him.

"Queen Pandora?" he repeated. "Wait a minute, where are we?" The man removed his hood to reveal a blonde man with glasses.

"This place is Darnell Lunaria, the gate of time and space." The team was baffled with the name and these people. Asuka didn't join in the conversation, since she wanted to talk to the blonde, who did look rather handsome.

"Well, cutie," Asuka smirked. "Why don't you reveal those names of yours?"

"My name is Pete. We were servants to Queen Pandora when she was ruling Darnell Lunaria, which was once a beautiful and docile place. We protected the Queen until we were defeated by devilish minions, who then killed her."

"Did this minion do it alone?" Rin asked regarding the greyscale scenery. That's when another cloaked man removed his hood and showed off deep tanned skin, along with bleached blonde hair.

"My name is Neo, and no, the minion had help," Neo said. Asuka wanted to compare Pete to Neo on handsomeness.

"Well, I gotta say I could be in heaven."

"Pay attention to what we're telling you!" Pete and Neo barked in unison.

"Hey, can't a teenage girl admire someone once in a while? Honestly." Another removed her cloak, exposing her brown hair and brown eyes.

"I'm Megsy. The minion had help from accessed eras and dimensions," she described.

"Accessed eras and dimensions?" Koga wondered.

"Does that mean Myotismon is here, too?" Kari questioned.

"Myotismon? Who's he?" Pete asked in confusion. "A nemisis of yours?"

"So you have no idea who these minions are, is that right?" Al questioned in suspicion as another hood was removed, popping out a dude with large blonde hair and small green eyes.

"Only one," he said. "...And that is La Mortua. By the way, call me Parker." The rest took their hoods off. One was a stern female who had red hair with blonde streaks, with a 49ers' tattoo on her wrist. Another female was asian looking with the same jet-black hair as Ash, along with red eyes. One male had wavy brunette hair, that matched his eyes, and legs that were freakishly muscular. The last one had shady black hair with white streaks and pale, hazel eyes. Junpei and Sasami were stunned to find out how young they appeared to be.

"La Mortua had escaped from a hellish dimension, after gaining new power," the girl with the tattoo started. "I'm Emma, by the way."

"...And I'm Sakura," the asian-like female acknowledged. "When we last confronted the minion, we were outmatched by the new powers he possesed."

"Afterwards, he attacked our highness," the wavy brunette continued. "The name's David."

"Just call me Stark," monotoned the last guy. "When we got to her before succumbing to her injuries, she mentioned that a prophecy was somewhere within the dimensions that La Mortua might have had access to."

"That was from my world," Ash pointed out.

"Your world?" Neo echoed.

"'1 to 8, 8 to 1. The future of space and time beholds the item of the royals who will uncover the light against the entity of black by the items bestowed on thine chosen: the darkness that plauges galaxies on end and thy person themselves. Only my treasures can guide my children with the rise to the mountain of the moon,'" Al resighted the prophecy.

"That's the prophecy of Darnell Lunaria and the Keys of Pandora," Pete spoke up.

"Present the keys of Pandora, immediatley," Sakura demanded. The team pulled their keys out of their pockets and showed the servants. "You are the chosen." The servants huddled in retrospect to cover any word that might be heard. They broke apart and walked over to the team, one servant to one keyholder. Neo approached Ash and noticed the Pokeballs on his belt.

"You got to know who we are," Neo started. "May I ask who you are?"

"Yeah, Ash Ketchum," Ash replied. "I'm a Pokemon trainer."

"Pokemon? Is it alright if I see these creatures you have?"

"Absolutley." He released the Pokemon that he had in his Pokeballs. The Pokemon were willing to stretch their little bodies out as Neo observed them. Pikachu jumped from Sasami's head, where he was when they departed from Mt. Moon, and joined them.

"Interesting." He knelt down to the Pokemon. "Do you guys want to be stronger?" The Pokemon nodded. "I can make you a little stronger. You ready?" With another nod, Neo rose to his feet, and stuck his hands out. Then, two balls of energy came out of his hands. When he combined them, he threw the large ball of energy at Ash and his Pokemon. After a few moments, the energy dimmed and the Pokemon were gone. Ash was okay, but he had a belt wrapped around his upper body. On the belt was six Pokeball emblems, with different colors for each Pokemon. Ash was in disbelief.

"What did you do to my Pokemon?"

"They're inside you."

"Come again?"

"Trust me. Hit one of your emblems." Ash pressed the green emblem. Then, he felt pain as his body was morphing. His hat turned into Grovyle's top and his arms grew long leaves. Ash was in shock.

"I...I've turned into Grovyle!" He relooked over his morphed body and grinned. "Well, it might not be so bad."

"Why don't you try something with this body of yours?" Ash was willing to please, as he leaped high into the air, doing a backflip. When he landed, he was amazed about the abilities he got.

"I don't believe it. This is awesome." Neo couldn't help but smile. "...But how can I turn back to myself? The last thing I wanna do is have a twig sticking out of my mouth in this form."

"Easy. Hit the emblem again." Ash pressed the green emblem again. In a few seconds, his hat was changed back to normal, and his arms shedded the leaves. "See?" The trainer nodded. Emma confronted Kari, and stared at Gatomon.

"Is this the only creature you brought?" she wondered.

"I was given this Digimon to protect both the DigiWorld and Earth," Kari explained. "Besides, Gatomon is more than just a cat."

"How so?" Kari pulled out a device, which started to light up, along with Gatomon.

"Gatomon digivolve to...ANGEWOMON." Gatomon morphed into an angel with a helmet that covered her eyes. "I believe this is what Kari is mentioning." Emma was speechless, seeing this new creature, before straightening out.

"I can tell. You two are pure-hearted. This makes the merging easier."

"Clarify. What do you have in mind?"

"I will help make the two of you stronger by fusing you?"

"Are you sure, you can do it?" Kari questioned in fear. "What'll happen to us? Can she get out?"

"You'll be alright. When this is over, you'll be separated. Are you ready?" Kari and Angewomon hesitated for a second, but once they nodded, Emma summoned a ball of light and engulfed the two inside. When the light disappeared, Kari was the same, except for Angewomon's wings on her back, a white gauntlet with decorative wings on her left hand and a visor on her face. She was in shock just peering at the new additives she possesed.

"Is this suppose to be me?" She stuck her arm out when the wings extended and a string was attached to both of them. "This was her Celestial Arrow attack." Kari pulled the string a little, then, let it go. A small arrow was shot out, which landed 11 feet away. "Guess I need to pull it back a little more."

"That might help." Asuka was grinning when Pete approached her, causing her to blush.

"Well, it seems that one of you couldn't resist my charm," she grinned. Pete didn't show any expression as he ordered Asuka to show him her watch. When she did, Pete placed his hand over it. Then, a light shoned from the watch as a marble of light dropped into the watch. When he uncovered the watch, it didn't look any different. "Hey, what gives?"

"I've reduced the time periods from six hours to five seconds," Pete explained. "I noticed when I scanned your weapon watch. Plus, you have access to defensive items like shields and armor, but you can only have one at a time still." Asuka smiled as she peered at her watch.

"Is it alright if I ask you on a date, sometime?" Pete was perplexed, since this appeared to be the first time he was ever asked a question like that. "Well, I wanna know what you were before you were assigned to keep an eye on Pandora."

"Never speak her name so casually," Pete growled.

"Sorry. Queen Pandora."

"What do you want to know about my past?"

"Well, anything that involves that body structure of yours."

"We'll see." Parker was with Junpei, looking rather unimpressed by the size of the martial artist.

"So, what is this La Mortua?" Junpei questioned. "Is he a big guy that has devil horns?" Parker requested Junpei's gloves, in which Junpei was reluctant to comply. "I'll give you my gloves, if you tell me something about this assassin of yours." Parker knew he had to give someone information about the minion who killed his highness.

"La Mortua was once a master wizard from a kingdom called Solarune, where hostility occured daily," he started. "When he casted a spell on the town, the people were morphing into monsters when the king of Solarune stopped his spell, and with our help, exiled him to Darkengaze." Junpei handed Parker his gloves, in which he transformed them into gold, heavy metal gauntlets with a wave of his hand. "However, we believe that he had aquired some sort of demonic power, thus when he escaped and we fought it to protect our highness, we were overcome."

"I see. By the way, is there something about these new gloves?"

"They'll increase your strength 100-fold."

"Really?" When he saw a hill, he performed a hammer smash, an overhead double fist down thrust. The attack flattened the hill like a crepe. He was grinning at the aftermath. "I dare anyone to stop me." Meanwhile, Megsy had fused Sasami with Ryo-oki, and turned her arm into a multi-arsenal weapon. After a brief explanaition, Sasami pressed a button that turned her weapon into a metal armguard, knowing full well that Ryo-oki will be safe. Koga had a brief spar with Stark, and from Pete's point of view, looked like Koga had the upper hand. Afterwards, Stark asked Koga for his sword and Kilala.

"I don't know," Koga bellowed as he unsheathed the thin sword. "I never really use it."

"Are you saying it's just a decoration?" Stark questioned as he is handed the sword. Kilala jumped into Stark's arms.

"I wear it to indicate to my clan that I'm the leader." Then, Stark placed Kilala on the sword, before waving his hand over both. The sword started to glow as the cat demon was sinking into it. Five seconds later, the sword stopped glowing. It appeared as nothing had changed. When Koga got it back, flames started to swirl around the sword. "This is so much like mutt-face's sword."

"Mutt-face?"

"It's a name I give for a romantic rival of mine."

"Gotcha. Do you want to take a practice swing?" When Koga agreed, Stark took a few steps back. With one downswing, Koga launched a fire-version of InuYasha's Wind Scar. Koga, though shocked, was laughing at the sight of the power of the attack.

"Unbelieveible. InuYasha might not stand a chance against this." Meantime, Sakura had a brief talk with Rin, as she was casting her hand over Rin's katana. That's when the katana started to morph.

"What are you doing to my weapon?" Rin pleaded. Then, her sheath was transforming as well. When both katana and sheath stopped shining, both were twice as long as before. "My katana. Why is it so long?"

"The power of the sword and your magic will be a massive producer when you fight La Mortua," Sakura explained. "If you can get there."

"Explain."

"Besides that wizard and some of his minions, he has developed many monsters that roam this desolate land."

"So, we have to overcome obstacles in order to get to La Mortua."

"Yes." A second of silence passed.

"May I take some time to be comfortable with this?" When Sakura stepped back several paces, Rin began swinging the newly long katana. Meantime, David wanted to see Al try some alchemy. The young Elric was eager to please, by turning into his armored self.

"This was what I was before Rin's friend used his magic to restore my body," he explained.

"What happened to your body when you lost it?" David questioned.

"My brother and I tried to bring our mom back to life, but I almost lost everything."

"I see, a price to pay for such a selfless act."

"No. We ignored the dangers of trying human transmutation. We paid dearly." David placed his hand on Al and made his armor glow. After a second, Al was still the same. "What did you do?"

"For now, you can use this alchemy freely without using a circle." Then, laughter caught everyone off-guard. Kari knew who it was.

"It's Myotismon," Kari warned. "He's here!" That's when Myotismon popped out and stared at the two groups.

"So, this is a feast that we'll enjoy," he snickered. Ash was curious by the word 'we.'

"What do you mean 'we!'" he shouted. Then, another laughter filled the air.

"Fifth child, it's her," Askua noted.

"You don't mean..." It was Kagura. She was on the other side of Myotismon, sneering at the two groups. Pete kept his eye on Myotismon.

"Is that the Myotismon you were talking about?" he asked.

"Yeah, that's him," Al acknowledged.

"Well, well, well," Myotismon gloated. "La Mortua knew you would seek help from those worthless servants."

"Even I can agree," Kagura continued. "Like the poet to that dropkicker." Asuka peered at Pete in curiousity, before blushing.

"Well, that I didn't know about you," she cooed. "If you ask me, I think I should leave Neo for Megsy, and let me take you." Neo heard this and wanted to give her a mean look.

"Is she always like this?" he murmured.

"She's one basket case," Ash replied before turning back to Kagura. "Do you two morons want all of us to surrender?"

"We want you all to die!" Kagura roared as she launched her Dance of the Dragon attack. However, Koga deflected the attack with his burning Wind Scar.

"Thanks, Koga. I needed that." Then he pressed the white emblem, morphing his head to obtain Glalie's horns and a whitish-blue colored skin. He ran full speed at Kagura, before Myotismon floated in front of his path.

"Grisley Wing!" he called, sending a flock of bats at Ash.

"That's nothing. Watch this." He took a deep breath, before blowing an Icy Wind attack at Myotismon and the bats. The stream of bats froze up and were immobile.

"Impossible!"

"No, impressive, along with this!" That's when Ash skull-bashed the stream, causing the bats to shatter and fly back at the vampire Digimon. It flew upward, but was struck in the leg by the icy remains, causing him to desend. Unaware to him, Junpei was coming from behind.

"Say goodnight, loser," he called as he smashed his newly powered fists into Myotismon's face. It drove him to a mountain 400 feet away, and caused an impression on the rock. All Kari could do was raise an eyebrow.

"That...had to hurt," she muttered. She had no idea that Kagura was behind her, as she launched another Dragon Dance attack. Luckily, Al managed to erect a stonewall in time, defending Kari from the blindside attack. Kari turned to see Kagura growl, as well as Al. "Thanks, Al." Sasami, Asuka and Rin gathered to try to fend off the incarnation. The servants were ready to help out in any way they could, but wouldn't be needed when Kagura decided to retreat on her giant flying feather.

"It seems as though you guys might be a threat," she bellowed. "However, you won't stand a chance when you battle La Mortua." When she escaped, and Myotismon dissolved, since the contact killed it, everyone calmed down and got morphed back to theirselves.

"It looks like that girl wasn't willing to give praise," Sakura grunted.

"Who were they?" Sasami wondered.

"The one we finished off was Myotismon," Ash mentioned. "Kagura was the one who escaped."

"You don't think that woman will attack us again, will she?" Rin wondered in concern.

"I'm more worried about that La Mortua guy we need to face," Sasami argued.

"I agree," Kari acknowledged. "If La Mortua is our target, then we need to get psyched up and ready to battle him." She turned to the servants. "If we defeat La Mortua..."

"We will send you all back home," Neo said.

"I appreciate that, but what'll happen to this place?" Not one servant had an answer, since they were unsure themselves.

"When the time comes, we'll give you all an honest answer," Emma said.

"Who knows," David started. "Maybe we'll go with you to your worlds." This got Asuka jumping for joy, before grabbing Pete's hands.

"I love that idea," she gleed. "Shinji and Kaji can look for their mates. You can be mine." Everyone esle sweat dropped.

"Well, it's time for you to go," Pete spoke. "If you are victorious, we will meet you again."

"Thank you," Ash grinned. Then, he pulled his key out, as the key shoned a ray of light to the distance.

"Follow the ray to Pandora's door. You won't be lost, if you follow it." With a nod from everyone, they proceeded to the ray's target. Ash Ketchum, the Pokemon trainer; Alphonse Elric, the alchemy prodigy; Asuka Langly Soryu, the Evangelion pilot; Rin Kamishiro, the magic swordswoman; Junpei, the 'Those Who Hunt Elves' martial artist; Hikari Kamiya, the Digidestined of Light; Koga, the leader of the demon wolf clan; and Sasami, the Princess of Jurai, are willing to save not only Darnell Lunaria, but their worlds as well.

TO BE CONTINUED...
Even with the mission in front of them, a well fit fighter cannot go on without their rest. What do these people dream about everyday? Some serious, some hilarious.
