Star Mystics: Power of Ownalis

Episode 12: "Hiroshi Guardian"

Mimi here, previously on Power of Ownalis: Ranger Elite fought against the Digital Avengers, in the beginning Ranger Elite was winning until some fatal mistakes happened and Ranger Elite is now losing, Speedalis is in big trouble. Ownalis faced off with his second challenge, which was an Orc or rather Grunt from Warcraft or Lord of the Rings, Ownalis took it down quickly.

Later on, he met his Creature Companion but he didn't fight, instead started to become friends with it and now Mamigrol is heading to the unknown. A.J. along with Kari and Gatomon reached Myotismon's castle, A.J. took the two Bakemon guards down quickly then he blasted the doors open only to have towers from inside the castle fire beams at the three of them.

Meanwhile, we were having some trouble of our own when Seadramon appeared but even big trouble when he multiplied to Multi Seadramon, Garurumon and Greymon quickly took him out. On with the conclusion.


A black sphere energy ball formed in between Peter's hands is they were in a vertical way. The black sphere in the middle from the front cut itself partly, when ready, Peter launched his Magna Force, spiraling towards Speedalis. Speedalis gasped, watching it coming towards her. Peter watched, seeing his attack heading towards Speedalis and grinned. Speedalis closed her eyes in shock and fear, waiting for the end but it never came.

An emerald beam went right through Magna Force just as it was inches away from Speedalis, vaporizing the attack. Peter growled and turned into the direction where the beam came from. Speedalis opened her eyes curios to only see that there was no threat. Ranger Elite and the Digital Avengers all looked towards the one who fired the beam.

Behind all of them a figure landed on the floor gracefully, wearing all white. His uniform was like Ownalis' but all white except for his eyes, which stayed brown. Neither the Digital Avengers nor Ranger Elite could identify him. Peter hissed and pointed his index finger towards the figure.

"You got to have some guts to stop my attack, who ever you are!" He hissed

"Now really, stopping that attack was a waste of my time but I only stopped it because of Speedalis." The figure replied

"Identify yourself, who ever you are." Billmon demanded

"Why should I? Because you said so? Give me a break. I don't take orders from you or anybody else!" The figure growled

"Dammit! Who are you?" Jereiph growled

"Shut your mouth Jereiph, you're not worth the talk." The figure grinned

Jereiph growled. By now, Stan and Graslmon regained conscious, now looking at the mysterious figure. Graslmon returned in Greemon because of lack of energy. Speedalis slowly got up as L.T. went back and hid behind her leg. Ranger Elite regrouped back together, so did the Digital Avengers.

"Anyone who dares challenges the Digital Avengers, won't last long. Magna Force!" Peter yelled

"Dungeon Curse!" Devimon yelled

"Tear Flood!" Tearmon yelled

"Money Press!" Billmon yelled

All the attacks hit their target, which was the figure, but the figure stayed standing, apparently unfazed by the assault.

"I know and can't believe that was all your strength. I'll show you all a demonstration of real power. Mythalis Blade Hurricane!" The figure yelled

Thousands upon thousands of blades were thrown at the Digital Avengers like a hurricane. Billmon; Devimon; Tearmon and Peter all cried in agony as Billmon returned in Steve; Devimon in Mini Devimon; Tearmon lost consciousness as so did Peter. Jereiph wasn't hit by any blade, the attack wasn't on him. The figure looked at his work, well done.

"Now that's what I call an attack!" The figure cheered

He decided to show himself. His appearance showed in the light as all the Digital Avengers conscious, gasped. Ranger Elite all dropped their jaws except for Speedalis who was overjoyed. A.J. Actonal was back but a different one, neither Digital Avengers nor Ranger Elite knew this though.

"But that's impossible! I killed you with the dickens!" Jereiph exclaimed

"And by doing that, you created a bigger problem for yourselves, by splitting me into three. I'm one of the splits though." A.J. explained

"But I thought that was only ancient mythology." Mini Devimon gasped

A.J. shook his head, "No. It's real; it was ancient but not anymore. Splitting is happening also in other dimensions; Codelimin and others."

Jereiph turned to Steve, "Steve. I have a suggestion to make. Since Ownalis is back, what do you say we retreat?"

Steve sighed, "We've lost anyway. Retreat granted."

Mini Devimon hopped into Jereiph's arms. Steve carried Peter in his arms while Tearmon was held over his back. The two of them walked back to the launching bay, retreating for now. A.J. stepped out of the way, passing him. Just as the gates of the launching bay opened, Steve turned and faced Ranger Elite.

"We've retreated today but we'll be back. Expect that." He stated

He walked into the launching bay with Jereiph, the gates closed behind them as the Digital Avengers left the Ownalis Elite Ship. Ranger Elite cheered at their first victory against the opposite side.


A.J. headed towards the towers, distracting them while maneuvering around, avoiding the beams. Kari and Gatomon carefully and secretly approached the gates and passed them when they got to it. A.J. now had to destroy the towers quickly, he knew how with only one mighty blow. While on his Mythown, he positioned himself in the middle of all the towers, all the towers fired at once. A.J. quickly moved upwards as the beams past each other heading to a tower.

Each beam hit an opposite tower, destroying them all. A.J. quickly lowered himself to the ground where Kari and Gatomon were watching from.

"Not a bad idea." Gatomon nodded

"A bold one." Kari added

A.J. just shrugged. The three of them continued on their way into the castle, not being opposed by any other resistance. They went straight to the dungeon where the cells were, Gatomon led the way, but A.J. used his R-Mystic to help them out, he was walking on the ground like them with his Mythown in his R-Mystic. With no resistance whatsoever, the three of them reached the dungeon cells safely, but after they all entered, the door shut behind them.

Kari rushed to it and tried to open it but to no avail.

"We're stuck here." She sighed

"So that's why there was no resistance, Myotismon must of known that we were coming and so set up this trap." A.J. concluded

"Hey guys, we need some help here." A voice called

A.J.; Gatomon and Kari turned around, alerted. They saw a human looking towards them from one of the cells. Kari gasped; A.J. looked shocked and Gatomon looked confused, looking from A.J. to Kari.

"Who is he?" She asked

"It's Davis." Kari whispered

A.J. rushed over to the cell.

"Back away." He advised

Davis nodded and backed away. A.J. turned his palm into a fist and clashed it with the locket, breaking the lock and seal, letting the gate open automatically by itself. Davis walked out with another blue reptile Codelimin. Gatomon gasped when she saw him. A.J. used his R-Mystic to synthesis the Codelimin.

"Veemon or Vmon - Dragon Jerebi Juvenile - Veemon is short for Victory Monster, which Veemon is. He is a lucky charm Codelimin that brings good luck sometimes. He was only a legend until he was born in Primary Village - His attacks are: Vee Head Butt; Vee Punch; Veemon Head Spear; Wing Up Punch; Head Slam; Rapid Punch."

A.J. gasped, finding out that Veemon is Star Code and not Digital Code. He put his R-Mystic back. Veemon looked surprised, when he saw Gatomon, so was Davis, when he saw Kari. A.J. knew better to give them some space. Davis and Veemon approached Kari and Gatomon cautiously, while Kari and Gatomon themselves didn't move. Deciding to check on the other prisoners, A.J. went from one cell to another.

He quickly backed away from one of them, as a Kuwagamon's pincers tried to grab him. When he got to the last cell, he gasped, quickly broke the lock and rushed into the cell. Wizardmon was in the last cell unconscious, his back leaning to the wall. A.J. knelt down in front of him, checking his condition with his R-Mystic.

"Wizardmon - Wizard Meric Maturity - Wizardmon is Gatomon's best friend. His opposite cousins are Sorcerimon and Witchmon. Later on, Wizardmon would change form and become stronger. Current condition, alive but exhausted by Myotismon's torture - His attacks are: Thunder Ball; Magical Game; Vision of Terror."

A.J. nodded and put his R-Mystic back. He was about to help Wizardmon up when he heard a scream, he rushed out of the cell, only to see Witchmon at the entrance of the dungeon with Davis and Veemon facing her. Gatomon and Kari were behind them. A.J. took his R-Mystic out, changed it into a rifle and prepared himself.

"To all those who oppose sir Myotismon, will die!" Witchmon hissed

"Not while we're around, go for it Veemon!" Davis nodded, with his Digi-V in his hand.

Veemon nodded. The blue beam of Victory covered Veemon, as his Champion Code was sent out from the Digi-V.

"VEEMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."

His particles separated and new particles appeared. The beam disappeared, as the evolution was finished.

"... EX VEEMON!"

"Do it Ex Veemon." Davis cheered

"V Laser!" Ex Veemon yelled

Witchmon was too swift though and quickly dodged the attack. Ex Veemon quickly blocked a punch from Witchmon, but that's what she wanted, as she brought her broom out and smacked Ex Veemon hard with it, sending Ex Veemon a few feet back. A.J. quickly checked his R-Mystic on the info for both new fighters.

"Ex Veemon or XVmon - Dragon Jerebi Maturity - Starting his fame, Ex Veemon is Veemon's maturity form, with an X in the middle of his chest that he uses for his attack - His attacks are: V Laser and Critical Crunch."

"Witchmon - Demon Meric Maturity - Witchmon is a she not a he. Evidence, Witches is always females; males are Warlords or Wizards but not Witches. Witchmon is one of Wizardmon's opposites, she uses her broom to form her deadly attack - Her attack is: Poison Storm."

A.J. nodded, turning his attention back to the battle. Considering the energy level, Ex Veemon should easily beat Witchmon, but it didn't seem like that. Witchmon rushed at Ex Veemon, giving him a swift kick to the stomach, making Ex Veemon kneel. In doing so, Witchmon spun her right leg into Ex Veemon's left cheek, sending him rolling across the ground. Gatomon wanted to help Ex Veemon, but she knew that she had to protect Kari.

A.J. was ready if Ex Veemon was going to loss but he didn't. Witchmon yelled a battle yell, charging at Ex Veemon who was getting up, seeing her in time, Ex Veemon stepped aside, giving Witchmon a punch to her stomach by his right fist. Witchmon stopped in her tracks and coughed, kneeling down, coughing continuously. Ex Veemon walked back a little way, putting some distance between them.

He put his arms over his chest with his hands clenched, preparing his attack. Witchmon didn't see it coming.

"V Laser!" Ex Veemon yelled

Witchmon took the full blow of the attack, being totally vaporized. With the threat over, Ex Veemon returned in Veemon. A.J. unprepared himself, heading to check on Wizardmon, who was just regaining conscious. Kari and Gatomon went to see what was happening, along with Davis and Veemon. When Gatomon saw Wizardmon, she gasped and rushed over to him.

"Wizardmon." She whispered

A.J. smiled, "Don't worry, he's going to be fine. He's regaining conscious now."

Wizardmon slowly opened his eyes once he heard voices, he recognized one of them to be Salamon's, but he didn't know the other. Davis and Veemon were at the entrance of the cell, watching while Kari was beside her Codelimin. When Wizardmon finally opened his eyes all the way, sight was blurry at the beginning but when things began to clear, he saw Gatomon along with Kari by his side. A.J. was out of the cell, watching the entrance ready for action if any threats came.

"Gatomon?" Wizardmon asked, whispering.

Gatomon nodded with tears in her eyes, "Yes Wizardmon, it's I."

"It's good to hear your voice again. That indicates that you have succeeded in escaping from Myotismon but why are you back?" Wizardmon asked

He acknowledged the fact that Kari; Davis and Veemon were there by looking at them, he also sensed A.J.'s energy, but it was nothing bad or evil but rather good.

"We came back to free you." Kari replied

"But even then, we didn't expect to run into Davis and Veemon." A.J. smiled, appearing at the entrance of the cell.

A.J. pointed to Davis and Veemon when Wizardmon looked at him, he nodded his head, finding out Davis' and Veemon's names.

"Thanks for coming for me, but I'm afraid that you just yourselves into more danger." Wizardmon whispered

"I'm afraid your wizard friend is right." A voice chuckled

A.J. turned his head towards the dungeon entrance, hearing roars and growls from other cells, noticing Myotismon with three Phantomon and about a dozen of Bakemon, backed up by 15 Skull Meramon. Davis and Veemon turned to see who the speaker was, they quickly both clenched their fists and teeth, upon seeing Myotismon.

"Friend, don't enter into this battle, I and Veemon will handle them." Davis muttered

"Hey I have a name you know, its A.J., but Ex Veemon is only a champion. He wouldn't be able to help out much." A.J. protested

"I and Veemon have a trick up our sleeve that nobody knows about yet." Davis grinned

"And besides, you'll protect Gatomon; Kari and Wizardmon." Veemon added

A.J. sighed in defeat, leaning his back on the wall of the cell gates, where Kari and Gatomon were still with Wizardmon. A.J. knew that they wanted to know what was going on, so he just answered, without letting them ask.

"It's Myotismon with three Phantomon, a dozen of Bakemon and back-up 15 Skull Meramon." He replied

Wizardmon lowly sighed, but Gatomon and Kari heard it. They all knew that they were captured now. A.J. was the only one who knew that they'll all escape and that Myotismon won't capture them, he was confident in that. Even Davis and Veemon, entering battle, knew that sooner or later when their plan B won't work that they'll be captured. Veemon went into action right away. Davis was around Kari's age before the siege Myotismon did in Odaiba.

"VEEMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."
"... EX VEEMON!"


The feeling of the night's breeze went zooming by as Mamigrol headed to a place that Ownalis didn't know about. Time was way slower here and sometimes it eventually stopped for awhile, but the creatures still moved. From time to time, Mamigrol would flap his three pairs of wings, but between the times, he would just zoom in the air, letting the breeze pass by him, without flapping his wings; like when pigeons didn't flap their wings when there is breeze or strong wind to help them.

"When are we going to get there?" Ownalis asked

"Be patient Ownalis. We'll get to where we going when we get to it." Mamigrol replied

"And just where are we going?" Ownalis asked

"To the training grounds of Misterim, it's in the middle of the Forest of Danger." Mamigrol replied

"Oh great! Then we aren't going to leave this forest." Ownalis moaned

"During the training you will, but only as part of the training, you'll have to return." Mamigrol replied

There was silence for awhile as Mamigrol once again flapped his three pairs of wings only once, continuing on his flight. Whistling wind passed by them as Mamigrol gained speed. Mamigrol was the one who broke the silence.

"You said you'll explain about A.J. Actonal, A.J. Jallivic thing later. Now is a good time." Mamigrol reminded

Ownalis knew the point of what Mamigrol was doing, but he decided to follow along anyway, it would pass the time to the training grounds, so it would help.

Ownalis sighed, "At first, I was born into the family of Jallivic, which was a rich and wealthy family until it was broken up by that criminal."

"Did you have any brothers or sisters?" Mamigrol asked

"One brother, a few years younger than I. The criminal took him away because of what my father did to him a few years back." Ownalis replied

"What did the criminal do?" Mamigrol asked

"He didn't assault my family, but rather he stole a purse from a lady and run off. He past by I and my parents plus younger brother, seeing the whole thing. Dad chased after him and after awhile I did too, only to see that dad got the criminal at one of the corners of a street, where he held him tight to the ground. My dad told me to take the purse and bring it back to the lady.

"I did, after awhile, some cops came while my dad was still holding the criminal, the cops thanked dad and took the criminal away." Ownalis explained

"Didn't he get punished for his crimes?" Mamigrol asked

"He did. I and my dad went to the court where the criminal was sentenced for five years but it seems he escaped only after two." Ownalis replied

"Why did you change your family name?" Mamigrol asked

"Because it was useless to be a Jallivic anymore, the family was broken up, my mom was killed right in front of me and my dad was killed before my mom, but not in front of me. As for my younger brother, the criminal took him away to where? I don't know. Someday though, I'll find Labton." Ownalis promised himself

"Labton?" Mamigrol asked

"That's my younger brother's name." Ownalis replied

"Labton? That's a strange name. Don't tell me that you lived your life before you came here by yourself?" Mamigrol asked

"No. After I ran away from Chicago, I went to New York where I met Helen and became best friends with her. We told our secrets to each other, I told her about my family. When I ran away, I wasn't a Jallivic anymore, but starting from then I became Actonal." Ownalis explained

"I don't need to ask you though how you became Ownalis." Mamigrol smiled

"Because you already know?" Ownalis asked

"No. Not because of that but because we reached the training grounds." Mamigrol replied

Ending the discussion, Ownalis looked over Mamigrol to see huge plains with no trees in it but around it, surrounding it. In the middle of the plains or fields, was a cabin modern house. Around all the fields, was an energized energy fence, surrounding the perimeters of the grounds, protecting it from land assaults or attacks. To protect the grounds from air, there were huge towers in the air: Three facing east; another three west; another three north and another three south.

It that way, the grounds was protected from any aggressive attacks, from any of the creatures that were living in the forests.

"I guess this is where we'll be separating." Mamigrol sighed

"What do you mean?" Ownalis asked

"Sir Misterim and I are on bad terms, so it would be better if I don't pass his grounds." Mamigrol replied

"You're bringing me down and you'll stay with me! You're my Creature Companion after all." Ownalis decided

"Ownalis... I can't. Period." Mamigrol argued

"Mamigrol, period my foot. You're landing with me, even if I'll have to use force." Ownalis argued

"It'll be your responsibility if something goes wrong." Mamigrol sighed

"Don't worry, I'll protect you. If Misterim won't accept to train me because of you then we'll both leave together." Ownalis decided

"Oh O.K." Mamigrol nodded

The argument ended by Ownalis winning, Mamigrol landed in the fields not far from the Cabin, Ownalis jumped off his back. Ownalis folded his arms together, he waited along with Mamigrol for Misterim to appear. Misterim did appear, opening the cabin door and closing it behind him, going into the fields, towards Ownalis and Mamigrol. Both Ownalis and Mamigrol had firm and stern looks on their faces.

Misterim had slightly long spread dark brown hair with orange lens, blue eyes were behind them. Misterim walked over to them, clapping his hands, Ownalis didn't know why, but he didn't show it. Mamigrol was about to put his head down in shame but Ownalis, without him looking, raised Mamigrol's head with his right hand. Misterim finally reached Ownalis and Mamigrol.

"Congrats on your victories, all three." Misterim nodded to Ownalis.

"What do you mean on all three?" Ownalis asked

"What I mean is, Mamigrol should at least become your friend if you didn't possess him or defeat him." Misterim explained

"So this means?" Mamigrol asked

"That both of us being on bad terms are over. When we were in bad terms, I exiled you to the forest but only for you to find Ownalis." Misterim grinned

"So in other words, you tricked us, both of us." Mamigrol gasped

"Exactly." Misterim nodded

"So you're going to train me?" Ownalis asked

"Affirmative. You showed your determination and firm expressions, during battle." Misterim replied

"So when do we start training?" Ownalis asked

"We?" Mamigrol asked

"Yes, both of you will be trained by me starting from tomorrow, for now and today, you rest from your journey." Misterim replied

"But at least answer my questions that I asked before." Ownalis requested

"Did you look at yourself first?" Misterim asked

"Uh? What do you mean?" Ownalis asked

"You didn't even notice when your uniform changed, now did you?" Misterim asked

At that moment, Ownalis looked at himself, his uniform sure had changed, since his battle with the dragon, some of his clothing was still green but others turned to white.

His cap turned to white while his bandanna stayed green, but there was some markings on it; his eyeglasses changed from green to white stripped with green; his gloves stayed the same, though they became fingerless; under his eyeglasses, his true eye color was back as it was dark brown; his hair stayed dark green though, under the bandanna and cap; the silk scarf had formed above Ownalis' hair as a closed U shape helmet; the thin leather jacket was now white.

The green silk t-shirt stayed as it was; the belt was now white with strips of green around it; the secret compartments were still there as was the new crystallized R-Mystic of Myths; a white knapsack was on the right of the belt with the sign of myths on the front in the middle; the knapsack wasn't fat, but thin, so it wouldn't appear under a jacket or something; the dark green leather shorts was now stripped with dark green and white lines going down vertically.

The pockets for it stayed the way they were and the shoes were also the same as before. As quick as lightning, Misterim snatched the Crystallized R-Mystic from Ownalis' belt and put it in his pocket. His voice was deep and stern. He was 7.3 feet high.

"Hey! That's mine!" Ownalis protested

"This and something else would be your prizes, when you prove yourself worthy to me and when you are able to beat me." Misterim decided

"Care to answer Ownalis' questions before?" Mamigrol asked

"Sure." Misterim replied, "For the first question, you split into two other splits, you're the true and original one but because of the splitting, your wound healed. As for your second question, you're on the planet Savior in the solar system or galaxy or dimension called Restorer. You're now in the Forest of Danger, in the middle of it to be exact."

"For your last question, this dimension is securely 'blockaded' from any telekinetic abilities, that's why you can't contact Sonarmon or Sonarmon can't contact you."

"O.K. The R-Mystic is one of the prizes, but what's the second one?" Ownalis asked

"Follow me and you'll see." Misterim replied, starting to walk away.

Ownalis and Mamigrol glanced at each other, Ownalis shrugged and both of them followed Misterim.


Ex Veemon started his assault on Myotismon and his group.

"V Laser!" Ex Veemon yelled

The attack hit a few Bakemon, vaporizing them.

"Crimson Lightning!" Myotismon yelled

Ex Veemon quickly jumped out of the way, avoiding the attack, Davis jumped back into the cell, A.J. held his ground as Myotismon's whip got to the other wall. However, while the whip was coming back to Myotismon, it caught Ex Veemon in its grip. Myotismon tightened the whip more, making Ex Veemon hold his breathe, trying to struggle, but to no avail. Myotismon grinned. Davis peaked out of the cell to see Ex Veemon held captive, he gasped.

A.J. gritted his teeth, charging. When A.J. was close to Ex Veemon, Ex Veemon turned around, with the whip still holding him.

"Critical Crunch!" Ex Veemon yelled

The attack didn't hit A.J., but it did stop him in his tracks. Ex Veemon decided that he had had enough of this. With all his strength and both hands, Ex Veemon gripped on the whip and shockingly to everyone, ripped it apart. Ex Veemon roared in his starting victory.

"Time for that trick up our sleeve. Ex Veemon, ready?" Davis asked

Ex Veemon nodded. Davis' Digi-V was like Kari's but instead of pink, it was stripped gold and blue, crystallized that is, with the crest of Victory in the screen.


The crest of Victory was launched out of the Digi-V while in the background, was blue sky with golden flames. The crest stopped in the center middle and spiraled by itself a few spins. A mixed golden, blue beam was fired from the crest of Victory to Ex Veemon. Golden flames covered him as he evolved.

"EX VEEMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."

The golden flames calmed down as golden wind waved over Ex Veemon's chest, removing the X, changing from the chest to lower jaw color to golden fur. Another pair of wings, like Ex Veemon's first one, sprung out of Ex Veemon's back, making another pair. Blue Crovinze armor appeared around his neck as his lower arms and legs, blue Crovinze armor also appeared. Golden spiked knee and elbow pads appeared.

His tail disappeared as his right arm and leg was totally covered by blue Crovinze armor, so did his left leg and foot; they were totally covered by blue Crovinze armor. The armor didn't cover the pads though. Blue Crovinze armor covered his torso. Finally, the blue belt around the waist appeared followed by the machine blasters.

"... STEALTH VEEMON!"


A.J. quickly took synthesis from this new Codelimin.

"Stealth Veemon or Stealth Vmon - Dragon Jerebi Migration - As his name is, Stealth Veemon is a quick and swift attacker, accurate aimer and quick dodger. He is one of the strongest dragons alive - His attacks are: Victory Blasters; Victory Bomb; Victory Lasers; Stealth Missiles; Stealth Captor."

He is Ex Veemon's same height; Ex Veemon's X on the chest isn't there anymore for Stealth Veemon; he has another pair of wings below his first; blue Crovinze armor is covering his neck, lower legs and lower arms; blue spiked shoulder pads are on Stealth Veemon's shoulders; blue spiked knee pads are on Stealth Veemon's knees; blue spiked elbow pads are on Stealth Veemon's elbows; his belly is golden instead of white; his horn and V letter are still there are on his snout.

He has no tail; his right arm and hand is totally blue Crovinze armor; his left leg with his left foot is totally blue Crovinze armor too; blue Crovinze armor is covering his upper chest; two machine blasters are connected to his belt around his waist; the belt is blue.

A.J. almost fainted when he read Stealth Veemon's Star Code. He didn't know what Sonarmon's ultimate form was but he was sure that his Star Code would be higher.

"No problem, one ultimate, so what! We'll take you down like a fly, Bakemon! Skull Meramon!" Myotismon ordered

The Bakemon along with the Skull Meramon stepped forward, Myotismon went backwards. Stealth Veemon didn't wait for his foes to start the attack, he did.

"Victory Blasters!" Stealth Veemon yelled

Stealth Veemon wiped his blasters out, firing golden energy bullets, with deadly accuracy towards the opponent. All the bullets surprisingly, hit all the Bakemon that none of them had a chance, all of them vaporized. Myotismon's jaw dropped in shock. Skull Meramon growled, beginning their assault. From the beginning, A.J. liked Stealth Veemon. He used his R-Mystic to synthesis Skull Meramon.

"Skull Meramon - Fire Meric Migration - Skull Meramon is the opposite of Blue Meramon. He is made of pure fire, blue that is - His attacks are: Metal Fireball and Flame Chain."

Stealth Veemon positioned himself, getting ready to face off against the 15 Skull Meramon. The entire Skull Meramon group looked confident, since they thought that with their numbers, they would win, but they were wrong. Numbers doesn't matter to Codelimin, but the Digital Code or Star Code is what matters. If there were 100 Skull Meramon, Stealth Veemon would still be able to take them all, if not more. This time, Skull Meramon started the assault.

"Metal Fireball!" Skull Meramon yelled

"Flame Chain!" Skull Meramon yelled

Stealth Veemon was able to dodge all the Metal Fireball attacks, avoiding the Flame Chain attacks. He attacked after Skull Meramons' assault attacks. He spread his two pairs of wings the full length as golden energy particles gathered into them, the wings glowed as they were being energized. At last, Stealth Veemon fired golden laser from his wings, in the form of his wings, towards the Skull Meramon squad.

"Victory Lasers!" Stealth Veemon yelled

All four lasers hit their target, each laser hit one Skull Meramon, leaving 11 Skull Meramon left.

"Wahoo! Way to go Stealth Veemon!" Davis cheered

The remaining 11 Skull Meramon all growled. Myotismon though, after seeing Stealth Veemon's strength and power, knew that he nor the 11 Skull Meramon could take him down, so he ordered the Skull Meramon to withdraw. Myotismon himself retreated too, but at the entrance he turned back to Kari; Davis; A.J.; Stealth Veemon; Gatomon and Wizardmon.

"Though this is a battle loss for me, I'll still win the war, my way!" Myotismon hissed

He laughed, dashing out of the dungeon. A.J. was only slightly surprised, he didn't think Myotismon would do that, but he knew he still would, if he had to in case to win later on. A.J. growled in his throat.

'You're not going to win the war Myotismon, neither you nor any other schemes that are ready to murder and kill to get to their goal.' He thought

"That's something new." Gatomon smiled

"Sure is." Wizardmon agreed, being able to support himself.

"Surely though that won't be the last of what we see of him." Davis grinned

Stealth Veemon returned in Veemon, saving energy. Gatomon and Wizardmon did the same, though this was the last time Wizardmon would be Wizardmon, but he won't die. Gatomon returned in Salamon as Wizardmon returned in Selfmon. A.J. de-energized his blade and returned his R-Mystic to normal, seeing that there were no threats anymore for awhile, he put his R-Mystic back and relaxed himself.


With the other DigiDestined, Meramon was attacking them as the Yokomon all fled into the ship. Only Sora and Biyomon were out, after all the refugee was taken. Meramon still kept coming though, reaching the top of the dried-up lake and continued down it.

"Spiral Twister!" Biyomon yelled

Meramon quickly avoided it, continuing on his way. The DigiDestined saw that they were in trouble if they didn't do anything. Tai nodded at Agumon. The orange code was sent from Tai's Digivice to Agumon, whose particles separated as the beam covered him.

"AGUMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."

The particles combined back together with new ones and the beam faded away, showing the Codelimin Dinosaur.

"... GREYMON!"

"We must make a back line defense if we are to survive." Tai decided

Matt nodded, "Go for it Gabumon."

Gabumon's particles separated as the light blue code of Friendship was launched from Matt's Digivice to Gabumon, as a light blue beam covered him.

"GABUMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."

The particles combined back together with new ones and the beam faded away, showing the Codelimin Wolf.

"... GARURUMON!"

"Right beside you Tai." Matt smirked

"Thanks." Tai nodded

"Nova Blast!" Greymon yelled

Izzy took his pineapple laptop out and analyzed Greymon and Meramon.

"Greymon - Dinosaur Jerebi Maturity - Even though his name seems to be Grey Monster, that's not what Greymon is, he isn't grey. Grey is short for Great. His Nova Blast is a stronger and more powerful version of Agumon's Pepper Breath - His attacks are: Nova Blast and Great Horns Attack."

"Meramon - Fire Meric Maturity - Meramon is a hothead warrior, made completely of fire. This Meramon is the guardian of Mount Hiroshi, though there are other Meramon like him. Mera means heat; fire or flame in Japanese - His attacks are: Fireball; Roaring Flame; Magma Blast."

"Use Garurumon on the offensive with Greymon on the defensive." Izzy suddenly decided, closing his Laptop.

"Good idea." Matt agreed

He hopped onto Garurumon and Garurumon jumped down the ship, standing in front of it. Greymon stayed on the ship's deck with Tai. Meramon jumped to his left, avoiding Greymon's attack, which gave a clear shot for Garurumon.

"Howling Blaster!" Garurumon yelled

Meramon saw it coming, holding his ground while his left hand shone.

"Magma Blast!" Meramon yelled

A river of fire was launched from Meramon's shining hand, opened. Magma Blast countered Howling Blaster, Garurumon tried his best to hold on though Meramon showed no signs of fatigue. Greymon relived him.

"Nova Blast!" Greymon yelled

Meramon saw the attack coming his way, he stopped his Magma Blast. He went to his left as Nova Blast and Howling Blaster rushed by him.

"Biyomon, we've got to help them." Sora whispered

Biyomon nodded, "I know but you saw what my attack did."

"But there's got to be a way to stop him." Sora moaned

"Maybe if I digivolve then I might be able to fend him off." Biyomon suggested

"Yeah! But how?" Sora asked

Greymon and Garurumon halted there attack for a few seconds, which Meramon saw that Sora was vulnerable. He used the choice and attacked.

"Fireball!" Meramon yelled

The attack headed towards Sora, seeing it and gasped. Matt and Tai gasped too, but Tai had a plan, he climbed up Greymon, whispering the plan to him. Nobody noticed though, Greymon nodded, in acceptance to do it.

"Sora!" Biyomon cried, flying over to her partner.

Like Tai and Matt before, Sora's Digivice glowed, sending a red code from it. Biyomon was covered by a red beam as her particles separated, the code hit the beam as it made new particles and vaporized old ones.

"BIYOMON DIGIVOLVE IN..."

The particles combined together with the new ones as the beam faded away, showing the new Codelimin Bird.

"... BIRDRAMON!"

"Meteor Wing!" Birdramon shrieked

Several fireballs were launched from Birdramon's wings, with one of them intercepting Meramon's fireball, vaporizing it. The rest of the fireballs went towards Meramon with deadly accuracy. Meramon saw this, jumping away from all the fireballs, but that was what Tai and Greymon wanted.

"Now!" Tai ordered

"Nova Blast!" Greymon yelled

Garurumon caught on, "Howling Blaster!"

Birdramon joined in, "Meteor Wing!"

Seeing attacks from all his directions, Meramon saw that he was surrounded. Birdramon's Meteor Wing and Greymon's Nova Blast combined together. Both combined attacks with Garurumon's Howling Blaster, all hit one target on Meramon's flaming body, which was his upper left chest. Meramon yelled in agony as all the attacks hit him. Shockingly and unexpected, a black gear of some sort left Meramon from the back and while in the air, it vaporized, destroying itself.

Meramon was rescued or saved, but not vaporized. Quickly, before the chance went away, Izzy opened his laptop and analyzed Birdramon.

"Birdramon - Bird Jerebi Maturity - Birdramon is a three parted name: Bird as in Birds; dra short for dragon and mon for monster. Birdramon has the look of a hawk from the day of the dinosaurs - Her attacks are: Meteor Wing and Fire Flapping."

"Prodigious!" Izzy exclaimed.

He turned his laptop off and put it away. Birdramon returned in Biyomon; Greymon and Garurumon returned in Agumon and Gabumon. Matt hopped off of Garurumon before Garurumon returned in rookie. All the Yokomon went out of the ship, heading to Meramon. The DigiDestined left the ship too, though they headed for Sora and Biyomon. Sora hugged Biyomon.

"Thanks for saving me." Sora whispered

"No problem. I digivolved worried for you." Biyomon whispered back

"Why did you attack us so suddenly?" One of the Yokomon asked

"I'm sorry if I did do any harm, but it wasn't in my control." Meramon replied

"If you weren't in control then who was?" Another Yokomon asked

"Maybe that black gear had something to do with it." Tentomon replied, going over to them.

"Well if the black gear controlled Meramon, since the black gear was created by someone, who?" A third Yokomon asked

Tentomon sweat-dropped, "I really don't know."

"Though the maker of the black gears is the one who took Meramon captive, whoever made it then that would be the key." Izzy concluded, coming over.

"You're saying that there are other black gears out there?" Mimi asked

Izzy nodded, "Yes, though we don't know how many."

"The number is not what I'm worried about, what I'm worried about is what the black gears would do in case they caught our Digimon partners." Joe reasoned

"That I don't want to think off." Izzy sweat-dropped

"Neither do I." T.K. agreed

"So we better be alert from now on from these black gears." Tai concluded

Matt nodded, "The journey may have just begun but with three champion Digimon, we might be able to survive this whole campaign."

Izzy looked at him weirdly, figuring something out.

"Anyway, I have to go back to Mount Hiroshi to guard it. Sorry for attacking you guys again." Meramon apologized

"Think nothing of it. We're glad to help you out." Mimi nodded, smiling.

Meramon nodded, leaving the dried up lake, going back to Mount Hiroshi.

'Well, stuff happened different today.' Mrs. Jallivic thought

"Why not come back to our village; have something to eat and some rest before continuing on your journey?" One of the Yokomon suggested

The grumbling of the DigiDestined's stomachs and those of their Codelimin partners, answered the Yokomon population, laughing as the entire group went back to the village to get refreshed, for their journey as only begun.
