Author's Notes: Here I am, typing away on my old school computer, listening to several songs from different artists. I'll give the tamers and the Digidestined their proper time in the spotlight since I didn't realize that my V-Tamer segment was going to be that long in the last episode. As for the quote from the Death of Rats, I made that up but that's all he really says. He squeaks in a spooky tone that is exactly like the Discworld Death. Anyway, I have a pretty clear idea of where I want to go with the first two arcs. I just hope I'll have enough time to get them out. A segment of this chapter will be based on an episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! Enough rambling from me and let's get down to business!!

Ascension - V 1.4
"Davis?!? What's going on?!?" Flamedramon looked around the area but found more questions than answers. He looked behind him to see a large Davis, trying to figure out what card to play. "I'll add this Boost Chip card to increase my Flamedramon's attack power. That ends my Preparation phase. Since you don't have your Digimon out yet, I'll have to wait before entering the Combat phase."
Flamedramon looked at the other side to see his partner's opponent who turned out to be none other than the Digimon Queen. A really large Digimon Queen from his perspective. "You think Flamedramon's tough, huh? We'll see how tough he really is. I'll put Renamon into play and add Black Gear to make her attack power stronger than Flamedramon's." The fox Digimon appeared out of nowhere with a blank look. Flamedramon tried to snap Renamon out of her trance but she wasn't responding.
"But how? One Black Gear gives a 100 attack point increase only!! Even with that, Renamon shouldn't be able to take Flamedramon!!" Rika gave a bone chilling laugh. "Because of Flamedramon's emotional reaction to this type of Digimon, thirty percent of his attack power is subtracted from the attack points of his A, B and C attacks. And any attack bonus cards attached on him are negated. Renamon, walk all over him!!"
'Emotional reaction? What does that mean? I gotta figure it out later but right now, I've got to snap that fox Digimon out of this!!' Flamedramon ran over and started to shake Renamon. "Wake up!! We need to figure out what this is all about and how to get out of here!!" But she pushed him away before leaping into the air.
"Renamon, I don't want to fight you!! Not like this!! Not when you're some sort of controlled puppet..." Her blank look didn't change as she charged up her attack. Davis was scrambling to find a card in his hand to give additional defense powers to Flamedramon. "Diamond Storm!!!"
Demiveemon woke up in a sweat. 'That's it!! I'm never eating three week old pickles again before taking my afternoon nap!' The little in-training Digimon rubbed his eyes before hopping off the bed. 'Geez, what's with that dream anyway?'
He stepped out of the room. "Whoa!!! Sorry, almost didn't see you there little guy!" June Motomiya moved past the tiny Digimon to head into the bathroom. Demiveemon gave a tiny frown. 'Maybe I should digivolve to Veemon so that I won't be so small. But even in my rookie form, I'm still small. I wish I was bigger in rookie form like Renamon.'
The in-training Digimon stopped himself. 'This isn't good...she's practically in my head!! Of all the female Digimon...I got a crush on one who comes from another dimension!' "Hey, there you are!!" Demiveemon felt himself being picked up by his partner Davis. "TP called a while ago to meet at the school. Some guy named Gennai has asked us to come to the digital world. I don't really know who he is but he seems to be important. Actually, I think Henry mentioned him once back at school when the tamers were here. We better get going."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Wait a second!! You mean this Guardian has some sort of power to send me to another dimension?!? Just how powerful is that guy?!?" Lord MagnaAngemon looked behind him to speak to the boy. "As the Guardian of the Northern Quadrant of this quantum plane, he must possess enough power to guard this realm. The power to cross dimensions is given to him to communicate with his fellow Guardians and cross over to their realms for meetings."
"Then why didn't he help us with the battle against Daemon? Not that we were in any real danger but it would have taken some pressure off," stated Zero. (AN: I'm sure all of you know who the guy is by now. But I just wanted to make sure things were set up in chapter 3, alright?) "I asked him the same question when Daemon's presence was first revealed. The Guardians can only intervene only if certain conditions allow it. Other than that, they cannot interfere with natural events. Besides, the battles with Daemon strengthened your relationship with your tamer and gave you enough experience to digivolve to mega." Lord MagnaAngemon stopped. "Here we are."
Taichi looked around but didn't see anything. "Um...no offense but there's nothing except...a lot of nothing." The group waited in silence until a small hole opened. (AN: Kind of like Piximon's doorway) "Whoa." They went through the hole and moved their way through the forest until they reached a long bridge leading to a green crystal temple. Before Taichi and Zero could give a groan about walking all that distance, they were instantly transported to the front door.
"I, Lord MagnaAngemon, guardian of the continent of Folder, do request admittance to the temple-" A voice quickly cut him off. "Aye, no need to go through all that gibberish!! Come on in!!" Taichi was surprised, hearing how the tone of the great Guardian felt like that of a friendly old Irish man. He shook off that feeling of surprise as he entered the temple.
When he looked at the Guardian for the first time, he gave a yelp of surprise. "And I thought Zero was huge when he was in mega!! Let's see what we got..." He scanned the turtle Digimon with the Digivice on his left wrist. "Ebonwumon...has about over fifteen thousand hit points. For a guy who is supposed to be mega, his statistics are at the lower end of the barrel."
"Well, what do you expect when you practically pour every ounce of juice you've got in a berserk move to try and save all four dimensions in this quantum plane?!?" Lord MagnaAngemon forced Taichi down on his knees. "My apologies. The child meant no disrespect, Great Guardian."
The old Digimon gave a chuckle. "Nothing to worry about. Unlike Zhuqiaomon, I don't mind when young ones occasionally say something like that. Now you're probably wondering why I asked you to come with Lord MagnaAngemon. It's simple, really. You're going to Azulongmon's realm to try and find the cause of this tower predicament." Taichi blinked. "What?!"
The other head of the turtle Digimon began to speak. "Normally I would have sent you to Zhuqiaomon's realm since they don't have a tower as well and with what's been happening there, you could blend in a bit more easily. But I'm still a wee bit out of breath from our last ditch effort against Lunarmillenniumon so I can only send you to Azulongmon's realm. And I'm going to be honest with you, my boy...you may land anywhere in either the human world or the digital world." Zero stepped forward. "It doesn't matter what happens. I've got Taichi covered!!"
The boy grinned. "With Zero right by my side, then I guess I can handle whatever comes at me. And if this helps to solve that tower mystery, I'm up for it!!" Ebonwumon gave a hearty laugh. "That's the spirit, lad!! Now just stand back...I'm gonna need a wee bit of room to pull off this little trick." The vaccine Digimon focused all the energy he had and opened a vortex. Taichi looked at Zero. "The 100% Combination is going to rock that other realm!! Geronimo!!!"
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"No way!! How...but the last time I...you look the same when..." TK wasn't sure how to respond to Gennai's new look. Patamon decided to ask the question that TK couldn't ask himself since his mind was absolutely boggled by the fact that instead of an old man, the younger Gennai stood in front. "How did you get so young again? It's been a long time since Piedmon attacked the fortress to get to the Crests, Digivices and Digieggs. And the face we're seeing now was the face that we saw in that vision that she showed us!"
The others had confused looks, except for Yolei who was captivated by the man's handsome features, as Gennai gave a laugh. "When you sacrificed the power of your Crests to revitalize the digital world, I guess you revitalized me in the process. I would love to talk about old times but we've got to get going." "Wait. Where are we going?" asked Cody. The other man didn't reply as he was already walking in another direction.
"So what exactly is the deal with him anyway?" asked Armadillomon. TK straightened his hat. "Gennai's the one who helped us throughout our journey in the digital world. He led us to the Tags and Crests at the continent of Server. He also informed us about Kari being one of us and the prophecy which gave birth to Wargreymon and Metalgarurumon. If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have been able to save as much Digimon and humans."
"He's some sort of digital guardian or something? A guide to help anyone who's lost? That is so totally cool!!" exclaimed Yolei. Wormmon gave a tiny gulp. "I think she has that look in her eyes again...the one before she-" He decided not to finish his statement as he had a vague idea of how eccentric Yolei can be. "What I would like to know is why he didn't show up when Shadowgallantmon went on a rampage around the digital world a few months ago," murmured Hawkmon.
"He comes and he goes...at least that's what Tai told me. Usually when he wants to talk to us, he brings some useful information. Maybe this time, he's going to give us something to make things easier...ease tensions between the humans and the Digimon," said Kari in a cheerful tone. Ken gave a shrug. "Who really knows? The only way to find out is to see where he's taking us."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"I'm sure you're aware of how my partner here can delete you at any time. But I have a few questions to ask so if you answer them right, you may get to live. Answer wrong and my partner will upload your data." Neo gave a dark smile. Here in this digital world, whenever a Digimon is killed, the winner absorbs the loser's data which makes them stronger. This turned out to be an interesting development but his first concern was trying to find a way out. And all the other Digimon he had interrogated did not provide good information.
Orochimon wasn't sure what to do. He's tried to use his usual tricks but they weren't enough. Now he was at the mercy of this human and his Digimon. "Now, is there a way out of the digital world?" The ultimate Digimon slowly gave a reply. "There are two known ways out of the digital world. One way is to upload enough data. You see, there is a myth that if a Digimon obtains enough data, that Digimon can go to the real world and find a tamer but it wouldn't suit your purposes. The other way is to see the Digimon Sovereign, the one who protects the digital world. That is all I can tell you."
"Very well then. Then we're off to see the Sovereign. Skullsatamon...show this Digimon our gratitude." The ultimate Digimon leapt forward. "Nail Bone!!" Orochimon had no time to scream before he dissipated into data. As Skullsatamon uploaded the data, Neo felt a new anxiety growing inside him. 'Once that Sovereign opens a portal, we can upload his data and that should give us a real power boost. Then we can finally show Taichi that he is indeed a third rate trash tamer!!'
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Look at all of these mountains!! It's like something out of a Chinese painting or something!" exclaimed Yolei. Gennai didn't say anything as he continued to lead the group higher into the atmosphere. It was a bit foggy so everybody tried to stay close together. "What is this place, Gennai?" asked Gatomon.
He paused and looked up in the sky. Davis looked up as well and gawked. "I think I saw something huge moving in those dark clouds!!" The others gave startled gasps when they looked up themselves. "That's Azulongmon, one of the four Holy Beasts who protect the digital world. He asked me to bring you here," said Gennai. The dragon slowly emerged from the clouds.
"Greetings, chosen children. I suppose you're wondering why I have summoned you. I have heard some rather disturbing news. Mysterious towers have recently appeared in the Northern and Western digital worlds. These towers have been radiating with a certain type of dark energy that cannot be identified." Ken felt a pang of guilt hit him. "A-are they control spires?"
"Not exactly. These towers are grey in colour with some sort of inscription on all four sides-" Before he could continue, Veemon interrupted him. "Sorry to interrupt but what do you mean Western digital world and Northern digital world? Is it like the other digital world that we went to? The tamers' digital world?"
"In this quantum plane, there are four different sectors, each with one human world and one digital world. The sectors are in the Northern, Southern, Western and Eastern directions. The tamers who came here originated from the Southern sector...which is where you will be heading." "What?!?" Everybody had a shocked look except for Gennai.
Azulongmon waited for everyone to calm down a bit. "My realm and the realm in where the tamers reside are the only ones that have not yet received one of these towers. Normally I would prefer if you stayed here to keep an eye out for things in the digital world as you are the only ones strong enough to deal with almost any Digimon but the Southern sector's dimensional barriers are weak, making it easier for other beings from alternate quantum planes to visit. I can only imagine how the tamers are dealing with this crisis. With them having their hands full and no way to enter the digital world, I'm going to send you to keep an eye on things. I know for sure that Zhuqiaomon is not going to be very happy about this but he's decided to accept your assistance in this matter." Davis startled complaining. "So we're going to the digital world...aw, man! It was such a drag, being a wasteland and all those weird vacuum things!!"
"To be honest, I'm not sure if my concentration is good enough to send you to the digital world...you may end up in the human world instead. However, you've spent some time there and hopefully you should know how to keep a low profile. If anyone wishes to back out, do so now. I will not think any less of you." Veemon grinned. "Are ya kidding? There's a possibility that I can...that is, we can run into our friends again!! Maybe team up to solve this mystery!" 'This must be Fate telling me that I'm gonna get the girl!! I hope...I mean, if I run into her again...I better keep my fingers crossed.'
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Just how does the world work? Simple. It's all about power, dominance and submission. The world will be run by those who have power while the weak simply accept that they can never get anywhere and take their rightful place as the people who do the dirty work. Now, you've got the power but you're still acting like a sniveling weakling...what's wrong with this picture?" Takato tried to shut out the voice.
He always came back to rant on about general things in his life whenever the boy simply wanted to be alone in his mind. 'I guess I have to keep enduring this...I did accept him in the end and I've gotta stick by it.' So far, the morning had been uneventful and he had hoped that it can stay that way for the remainder of the day.
His gaze drifted off to a bird who had just landed closeby. 'I wish I was like you...you get to fly freely in the wind, going where you want to go.' Takato gave a sigh as he looked at his Digivice. 'It was so cool at the beginning...now, it's becoming some sort of burden. But I've got to bear it like Rika and Henry. Heck, even Suzie has accepted the burden of being a defender of the world!' Guilmon looked at the bird as if deciding whether he should try and eat it.
His thoughts were interrupted when he heard Suzie come up from behind him. "Henwy sent me to get you, angwy kid. There's a wot of..." Before she could finish, Takato heard an explosion followed by Henry yelling at Rapidmon to dodge the attack. So much for an uneventful morning. "Let's get to work, Guilmon. Suzie...just stay close and be careful." Without any further words, the two tamers started running to join the battle.
Wow...I actually found the time to get this out. Well, nothing much for me to say except this is Epsilon signing off!!
