Hello my wonderful readers! I'm back with another freshly baked chapter for you all to enjoy.
Before making this, I think I mentioned in the previous chapter that I would go back to some of the older chapters and check them for any grammar mistakes, and... I don't know how it didn't occur to me to do so sooner. Even decided to do a bit of rewriting in some of the chapters so that the later chapters might make more sense, as well as add some extra dialogue. The edited chapters will have a small note stating said edits.
In other news, I asked once about whether or not if I should write Blucomon's name as normal or write it as "Bulucomon." As it turns out, it would seem that both are correct. The difference between them is that while "Blucomon" is an English localized name, "Bulucomon" is a Japanese katakana that pronounced a little differently. I still find it all a little strange, but I don't mind. So, from now on, unless the name changes again, I'll keep using Blucomon's English localization name.
Now, when we last left off, Lowee and Leanbox were under attack by two Digimon hunting for the Sharicite crystals, a Cyclomon runs amok as Neptune and her friends chase him down, and Linda asks for protection and offers to tell the CPUs of SkullSatamon's plan in exchange. But now that the dark angel of death himself has appeared, is he ging to silence the former ASIC member and waste the CPUs all at the same time? Let's read on and find out!

Chapter 21: Three-Pronged attack, Part 2
Everyone was in shock by what they were now witnessing. An explosion had busted down a part of a wall of the Basilicom just as Linda was about to divulge information about about SkullSatamon's plan. Now it seems that the skeletal Digimon himself has decided to come and make sure that the former ASIC member stayed silent for good.
The group just stood there like deer caught in the headlights. They had no idea what to do in this situation. The last time the CPUs and their Digimon had faced SkullSatamon, he had wiped the floor with them all with little effort. They hadn't even came up with a plan for when they would face him next. Now they needed a plan to get away from him before he takes out Linda, and quite possibly them in the process.
Right now they all had to act fast, as SkullSatamon had them in their sights, the yellow orb starting to glow as he prepared his attack. He smirked as he watched everyone's faces look on in terror.
"Say goodbye you pathetic brat! Nail Bone!", the skeletal Digimon exclaimed as he blasted a dark beam of light at the group.
"Everyone, move! Now!", shouted Noire.
The entire group scattered in different directions before the beam of darkness hit the very spot that they had been standing on. No one was hurt by the blast, but the only thing that was destroyed was a desk and lamp. Peashy looked at the charred remains, shocked by what SkullSatamon could do.
"This guy's serious!", she exclaimed.
"What do we do, sis?!", Uni asked her sister frantically.
"We can't fight him like this! This way!", ordered Noire, pointing to a way out of the room.
The raven haired girl lead everyone out as they tried to escape the skeletal Digimon's wrath. Numemon was the last one to exit before SkullSatamon shot another blast from his staff. The explosion rocked the slime Digimon a little.
"Hey, wait for me, ladies!", he exclaimed as he struggled to keep up.
"Hahahaha! You can't escape me!", SkullSatamon cackled as he pursued the group and their Digimon.
The group ran down the hall as quick as they could, trying to outrun the skeletal Digimon before he could catch them. As they ran for their lives, he fired away repeatedly with his Nail Bone attack, determined to get a hit on them. Then, they saw a three-way intersection at the end of the hall.
"Noire, did you let the Guild know that we have Linda with us?", asked Nepgear.
"Yeah. I just hope they get here in time to help", said the Lastation CPU.
They all turned left when they reached the intersection. On the right, a squad of armed guards had heard the commotion going on and rushed in to see what was happening. When they saw the skeletal Digimon chasing after the group, they readied their weapons and aimed at him, red laser sights trained on his body. SkullSatamon saw the small lights on him and looked to see the armed squad and stopped for a moment.
"Cease hostilities! Surrender now or we will open fire!" , the squad leader ordered the dark angel.
But SkullSatamon laughed, finding their little distraction amusing to him. The Lastation soldiers were not laughing, however, as they kept their weapons trained on him. As soon as the skeletal Digimon started moving again, they all tensed up.
"Open fire, open fire!", the squad leader barked.
The squad fired away at the the evil creature, but they started to grow nervous when they saw that their shots were having no effect on him. SkullSatamon laughed as he felt their shots bounce off of his body, not even making a dent. When the armed squad ceased firing, he pointed his staff at them.
"My turn! Nail Bone!", he exclaimed as a dark beam shot out of the yellow orb on his staff.
It went straight at the armed squad, who could only watch in horror as there was no room for them to retreat. They yelled in pain as the beam blasted them into the walls. SkullSatamon laughed loudly as he moved past them, resuming his pursuit of the CPUs and their Digimon.
Groaning in pain, the squad leader reached for his radio, hoping that he might be able to warn other squads in time of the impending danger that was coming.
"Code red... Hostile has blown past us... chasing the CPUs and their captive... Repeat... hostile has blown past us and is pursuing the CPUs and their captive... Inform the Guild immediately...", he said before passing out from the pain.
Back in Lowee, Gururumon was rampaging through the snow-covered streets, trying to find the Basilicom in order to steal the nation's Sharicite. He knew that he was going to be pursued by the CPU of of this land, so he had to act fast before she caught up with him.
As he raced his way to the Basilicom, the wolf Digimon saw something up ahead of him. Up ahead was a road block created by two transport trucks, one on each part of the intersection. Not wanting to waste energy blowing past them, Gururumon looked at the surroundings and decided to take an alternate route. He saw an opening on his left and turned that way. He continued on his path, but then he saw another road block of trucks. This time he turned right towards an open path He couldn't help but feel like he was being lead somewhere on purpose.
"Something's fishy here...", the wolf Digimon said as he moved on.
A few seconds later, yet another road block. Only this time there was no way for the wolf Digimon to get around. He stopped right in front of one of the blockading trucks and was about to turn around when he saw another truck coming from behind. It stopped right in the only open exit that was left for him. He was now boxed in at a four-way intersection just a few blocks away from the Basilicom. Gururumon was now fuming.
"Let me out at once! I will not be denied!", he demanded angrily.
Then he saw something jump over one of the blockading trucks. It was Blanc and Blucomon, ready to finish what they started with the wolf Digimon before the chase. The brown haired CPU smirked, seeing that the monster was now trapped like a rat.
"Nice thinking about making that phone call to those guys at that Trucks 4 Us", remarked Blucomon.
"I should thank those guys when this is all over", said Blanc.
They both stared down the wolf Digimon, who growled at them in response. He was not amused by their trap.
"You just don't give up, do you?", snarled Gururumon.
"There's no way we'd let you steal my Sharicite crystal", Blanc replied.
"Yeah. Now this is your last chance to give up!", barked Blucomon.
"Not a chance. That Sharicite will belong to my master, one way or another!", the wolf Digimon retorted.
"Have it your way, dogmeat. HDD Access!", exclaimed Blanc.
The brown haired girl's body suddenly became surrounded in a white light. Her hair changed to a light blue hue and her eyes became a red color. Then her winter outfit became a white suit with black and light blue colorings, unattached sleeves and gloves of the same color. White armor pieces had also appeared around her, and light blue rectangular wings appeared behind her. Finally, a white with glowing light blue parts materialized in her hands, replacing her hammer weapon from earlier.
"Blucomon, let's show this piece of crap that he's messing with the wrong CPU!", White Heart yelled.
"You got it!", Blucomon replied.
The Lowee CPU then pulled out her Digivice and aimed it at her partner Digimon. It glowed in a white aura, signaling that it was ready to be used.
"Digivolve!", White Heart exclaimed.
The white light shot out of the Digivice and straight at the ice dragon Digimon, engulfing him in its energy.
"Blucomon, Digivolve to...!", he shouted, beginning his Digivolution sequence.
He started to get larger in size, as well as grow wings. His entire body was now almost covered in ice, except for the white fur around his neck as it grew a little longer, and he had blue claws on his hands and feet. His wings were made of ice as well, and it looked like he had a bracelet on his left arm and a white bandage on his left leg.
"Paledramon!", he said, finishing his Digivolution process.
Gururumon growled in annoyance. He wanted to get his job done quickly without having to deal with the CPU and her Digimon partner, but now all of that had gone out the window. Now he was forced to fight them if he ever wants to get to the Sharicite and avoid his master's wrath.
"Prepare to fall!", he yelled as he charged at the pair.
White Heart and Paledramon rushed at the wolf Digimon as well, wanting to get up close to land a hit. The Lowee CPU tried to strike him with her axe, but he moved out of the way just in time. Then his mouth started to glow as flames start to form.
"Chaos Fire!", the wolf Digimon exclaimed as blasts a stream of dark fire at the Goddess.
"Not again!", said White Heart as she jumped away to get away from the flames.
She managed to get out of the way, but Gururumon started to rear up, preparing to blast her with dark fire yet again. White Heart thought she was about to be burnt to a crisp. But as the wolf Digimon started spewing flames again, Paledramon got in the way.
"Ice Age!", he shouts as he starts streaming a wave of ice cold breath.
Both attacks meet one another, seeming to be evenly matched. The temperature of the freezing blast was so cold, however, that the flames actually started to freeze up, becoming colored ice that shattered upon hitting the ground. The wolf Digimon looked on with a bit of shock, seeing that his attack had failed spectacularly. Then the ice dragon Digimon jumped into the air, causing Gururumon to look up at him.
"Meteor Hail!", he exclaimed as he started to charge down on top of the wolf Digimon.
He barely gets away as he gets launched by Paledramon's attack, as the ice dragon Digimon slams into the ground, freezing the impact area in ice. Gururumon growled angrily at him, but he was so focused on the Goddess's partner Digimon that he forgot about the Lowee CPU herself. This gave her an opportunity to strike.
"Eat this! Tanzerin Trombe!", she shouts as spins her axe around, hitting the wolf Digimon multiple times.
The creature was unable to react in time and he howled in pain as he gets knocked back into one of the trucks. He growled furiously.
"Enough of this! Gururu Thrust!", he exclaimed as he rushed at White Heart.
Gururumon swiped at the Goddess, but she side stepped away from his claws and smashed her axe into him in retaliation. He was not amused by this, opening his mouth to bite down on her arm. The wolf Digimon griped on to her and then starts to shake her around violently. But as he was distracted, Paledramon starts to come from behind and then grabs him by the tail. This causes Gururumon to yelp in surprise and release his grasp on the Lowee CPU.
"Got you now, snaggletooth!", said the ice dragon Digimon, grinning as he gripped the wolf Digimon's tail tightly.
Gururumon gulped as Paledramon began to use his strength to swing him around and around in a circle. The wolf Digimon started to feel dizzy as he was spun faster and faster until after a few more seconds, the ice dragon Digimon let go of the creature's tail, tossing him high in the air.
"So long, wolfy boy!", Paledramon exclaimed.
Then the blue haired Goddess flew up into the air to intercept the airborne Gururumon, ready to deliver the finishing blow. Her red eyes flashed in righteous fury as she readied her axe.
"Zerstorung!", she exclaimed.
She spun around for a few seconds before finally swinging her axe straight at the wolf Digimon when he was in range, striking him with extreme force. The force of the impact sent him further into the air at an very high rate of speed.
"Looks like I'm blasting off! Gaaaaahhhhh!", Gururumon howled as he soared out of sight.
White Heart looked on at the sight and smirked, feeling proud of her work. She looked at Paledramon and gave him a thumbs up.
"Nice work, partner!", she said.
"Thanks, Blanc! I don't he'll be back from that one", said the ice dragon Digimon.
They both hoped that they would never have to. The Lowee CPU soon glowed in a white light, transforming back into her human form. Paledramon also started to glow, and soon enough, De-Digivolved back into Blucomon.
"Come on. Let's go thank those truck drivers", said Blanc.
"Alright, but I'd like to finish that manju first, if that's alright", said Blucomon.
The brown haired CPU smiled, happy that even an uneventful day didn't stop her partner from enjoying some Lowee cuisine.
Just near the city section in Leanbox, Saberdramon was still carrying Lalamon in his talons. She kept trying to break free, but to no avail. The black flaming Digimon cackled at her futile attempts of escape, knowing full well that the plant Digimon was not strong enough.
"Hahaha! Forget it, pipsqueak! You'll never get out of my clutches!", Saberdramon said.
"Just you wait until Vert gets here! You'll be sorry!", Lalamon replied.
"Pah! She wouldn't dare harm me when I have you in my grasp", the black flaming Digimon stated.
Just then, the two saw something coming up from behind them in the distance. At first, they couldn't tell what it was, but as it got closer, they saw that it was the Leanbox CPU coming in fast. She had an angry look on her face. Saberdramon stared her down as she approached him.
"Let my Digimon go, you vile creature!", Green Heart demanded.
"Or what? In case you haven't noticed, I can crush your partner into nothing but data any time I want", Saberdramon replied.
And to prove his point, he started to slowly crush Lalamon in his talons, causing her to yell in pain. Green Heart was both horrified and furious that a Digimon like him could be just as cruel as SkullSatamon. She was about to move in to strike at him, but she stopped herself in fear that he would destroy her partner there and now. She had to come up with a plan, and fast.
"Let her go! I'm more important than my partner!", the green haired Goddess said.
"Do you take me for a fool? The moment I let your partner go, you'll move in to attack me", stated Saberdramon.
Green Heart growled under her breath, knowing that she wasn't going to free her friend that easily. The black flaming Digimon continued.
"But I can be merciful. Just point me in the right direction of your Sharicite and I'll be happy to let your friend go", he offered.
"Don't do it, Vert!", exclaimed Lalamon, earning a painful squeeze from Saberdramon's talons in response.
The Leanbox CPU cringed at her partner's struggle. Time was running out, and Green Heart had to figure out how to free her partner. Then, an idea flew into her head.
"It's a risky move, but like all my strategy games, the reward will be well worth it", she thought.
"So, what shall it be?", asked Saberdramon.
"...Very well. I will show where the Sharicite is", said Green Heart.
"Vert, no!", Lalamon cried, not believing what her friend was doing.
But as she watched her friend, she saw the green haired Goddess wink at her. The plant Digimon nodded silently in response, thinking that she may have a plan in mind.
"Excellent! Now, where is it?", asked Saberdramon.
"Well, it's right over- Oh no, it's SkullSatamon!", the Leanbox CPU suddenly exclaimed, pointing behind the black flaming Digimon.
"What?! My master?! Where?!", Saberdramon said in surprise, turning around to see if his master was behind him.
Green Heart, smiling that her trick had worked, saw this momentary as an opportunity to strike at him. She only had one chance to get it right, and she couldn't afford to waste it.. She held her spear like how a professional javelin thrower holds one and then tossed it at the black flaming Digimon. The spear makes a direct hit, right at his head.
"Arck?!", he said, releasing his grasp on Lalamon in the confusion.
The plant Digimon fell into a freefall, trying to float back up, even flapping her tiny arms like a bird. Green Heart saw this and quickly swooped in, grabbing her partner just in time before the plant Digimon could hit the ground. She smiled at her, knowing that her friend was now out of harm's way.
"Are you okay, Lalamon?", she asked.
"I'm fine... Thank you, Vert", said her partner happily.
Saberdramon started shaking his head, regaining his senses. When he saw that Lalamon was with the green haired Goddess's care, he growled angrily. He could not believe that he was tricked by her.
"You'll regret you ever did that, you blasted CPU!", the black flaming Digimon threatened.
The green pair looked at each other and nodded. Green Heart let her partner float and pulled out her Digivice. She aimed it at her partner and shouted the code word.
"Digivolve!", she exclaimed.
A green light shot out of her Digivice and soon, it engulfed the plant Digimon. Her Digivolution process was beginning.
"Lalamon, Digivolve to...!", she said.
Her shape became a green slim body, short legs with green spikes as feet, long arms with three fingers on each hand, and a pointy tail with with thorns on it. Her head became yellow with a pinkish-red, triangular mark on the forehead, her mouth grew bigger, yellow petals grew around her face, and two leaf-shaped wings formed on her back.
"Sunflowmon!", she shouted, finishing her Digivolution sequence.
Saberdramon was now a bit nervous, but he wasn't about to let the two stop him from obtaining the Sharicite for his master. He started to swoop in at the pair from above.
"Mach Shadow!", the black flaming Digimon roared as he starts spinning at a rapid pace.
Both Green Heart and Sunflowmon split up to get away from the attack. Saberdramon spun past then before he stopped, seeing that his attack missed. Before he could make another move, the flower Digimon raised her tail, readying her own attack.
"Cactus Tail!", Sunflowmon exclaimed as she swings her tail.
Multiple thorns launched from her tail end, flying straight at Saberdramon. He tried to dodge them, but he could not evade all of them, as some had managed to hit the black flaming Digimon. He was greatly annoyed by this.
"That's it! Have a taste of this! Night Roar!", he yelled, launching black flaming feathers from his wings.
Sunflowmon tried to move away, but the black flames burnt a part of her tail. She yelped in pain, blowing out her hurt tail tip. As she was distracted, Saberdramon swooped down at her, preparing his talons to strike at her. But before he could reach the flower Digimon, Green Heart flew up in front of him and slashed at him with her spear, causing the black flaming Digimon to go off course. He was about to retaliate, but the Leanbox CPU wasn't about to let up on him.
"Rainy Ratnapura!", Green Heart cried out as she charged at Saberdramon and started striking away at him with multiple stabs from her spear, with the last strike resulting in a quick slash attack.
This attack disoriented the black flaming Digimon, making him fall out of the sky for a bit before Sunflowmon caught up with him.
"Smiley Slap!", she shouted as she started smashing Saberdramon around with her forearms.
Most of the hits smacked him in the head, causing him to become dizzy for a bit. He shook his head after a few seconds had passed. Saberdramon was starting to lose energy, and he did not want to stick around anymore.
"Gah! Forget the Sharicite! You freaks aren't worth it!", he exclaimed as he tried to fly away.
"Oh no you don't! We're not done with you yet!", said Sunflowmon as she grabbed Saberdramon by the tail feathers.
He shrieked in shock, afraid that he was about to be plucked like a turkey. Then the flower Digimon swung him around and tossed the black flaming Digimon in Green Heart's direction, who had readied her spear in preparation.
"This is for harming my friend! Sylhet Spear!", the green haired Goddess exclaims.
She casts a green magic circle that launches a giant spear at Saberdramon, which strikes him and then explodes into pieces, dealing more damage to him. Then Sunflowmon rams into him, sending him into the air. The black flaming Digimon tried to fly away, but he was now feeling too weak to even flap his wings. The flower Digimon's face then started to glow brightly, charging up for one last attack.
"Sunshine Beam!", she yelled as she blasted a beam of light at Saberdramon.
He roared in pain as he was engulfed in the blast. An explosion soon occurred, sending the black flaming Digimon flying uncontrollably away from Leanbox at a rapid pace.
"This is the worst day of my liiifffeee!", Saberdramon screamed as he soared further away from the area before he flew completely out of sight.
Green Heart and Sunflowmon watched on for a moment before looking at each other and smiling. Both of them landed on the ground and soon became engulfed in a bright light. The Leanbox CPU changed back into her human form, and the flower Digimon De-Digivolved back into Lalamon.
"And that's another win for us!", said Vert cheerfully.
"I'm so glad that bad Digimon's gone", said Lalamon.
"Indeed. I think this was more exciting than an MMO battle", said the blonde haired woman.
"About that... After all of that fighting, I think I wouldn't mind playing a game for a bit, just to take my mind off of today", said Lalamon sheepishly.
Vert stared at the little plant Digimon for a moment and smiled. She nodded as she started walking her way back to Leanbox's Basilicom, with the plant Digimon floating behind her. For the rest of the day, they would do nothing but play some games of 4GO, though it would mostly be Vert playing, as Lalamon's arms were just a bit too small for the controls.
Back in Lastation, Cyclomon was nearing the city streets as he ran his way into the Land of Black Regality. When citizens saw the one-eyed Digimon coming, they started to run for cover, not wanting to get trampled or crushed by the monster's strength.
"Out of the way, wimps!", Cyclomon exclaimed.
Just behind his trail, Neptune, Uzume, Dorugamon, and FanBeemon were right behind him. They had been chasing him down in an attempt to stop him from creating havoc in Lastation. The group struggled to keep up with him.
"You'd think he'd take a pit stop by now", said Neptune.
"I know this place! This is where me and my friend were before we got separated", stated FanBeemon.
"Well let's hope we can find them before muscles here hurt's them without knowing it", said Uzume.
Cyclomon looked behind him and saw the group coming up from behind. He growled in annoyance, not wanting to be bothered by the CPUs and their wing-beast Digimon.
"You're really starting to get on my nerves!", he exclaimed.
He stops next to an empty car and then starts to lift it up above his head. The group stopped in their tracks, shocked by how strong this Digimon was. He laughed as he tossed the heavy car up into the air. It was now hurdling straight towards everyone.
"Oh no! I'm too young to be a purple pancake!", panicked Neptune.
"Power Metal!", exclaimed Dorugamon suddenly, launching an iron sphere from his mouth.
Both the sphere and the car connect, causing a mighty explosion to ensue. The car was now nothing more than a bunch of pieces and parts falling near the group. Everyone sighed in relief.
"I hope whoever owns that is ensured...", Uzume said sheepishly.
"Hey, look!", shouted Dorugamon.
Everyone saw where the winged-beast Digimon was pointing towards and saw that Cyclomon was using the momentary distraction to get away. Upon a closer look, they could also see that he was heading in the direction of the nation's Basilicom.
"He's going to head for the Basilicom! He might be after the Sharicite!", stated Uzume.
"No way, no how! We need to warn Noire, or at least tell him 'No Swiping!' three times!", Neptune rambled.
"My communicator is still a little busted, but I think I can call her from here. We gotta hurry, though", said Uzume as she started to fiddle with her wrist communicator.
The group soon gave chase once more, not wanting to lose Cyclomon before he gets away. As they ran forth, FanBeemon couldn't help but feel powerless. When they were fighting Cyclomon, all he could do was hide somewhere since he wasn't strong enough. He wanted to do something to help his comrades, but he didn't know what to do. He felt too scared to even fight at all.
"If only my friend were here... If she were here, I could...", the insect Digimon thought to himself.
Back inside the Lastation Basilicom, the CPUs, Linda and their Digimon were still being chased by SkullSatamon. He was still determined to destroy Linda no matter what. Multiple security teams tried to buy them some time, but the skeletal Digimon would just break past them like a paper wall.
"Just keep going! If we can make it outside, we might have a chance at fighting back!", Noire exclaimed.
They could hear SkullSatamon laughing from behind them. Then they could all see an elevator up ahead. Thinking they could temporarily escape from the skeletal Digimon's wrath, they decided to make a break for it. Rushing inside, Uni pressed the bottom floor button rapidly, fearing for her and her friends' lives. At last, the doors closed just as SkullSatamon was a few feet away from them. He banged his fists at the doors trying to break in, but to no avail. As the elevator started to go down, everyone started to breath a sigh of relief, though they were still nervous.
"We're gonna die... I'm gonna die...", said Linda, shaking like a leaf.
"Pull yourself together, Linda! We won't get beaten by that big bully!", said Ram.
"Yeah, pretty lady! We can take that guy... I think", added Numemon, trying to reassure the pale skinned girl.
"Still, what are we gonna do? The moment we step out of here, SkullSatamon's probably going to attack", stated Peashy.
"Don't worry, everyone. I'll think of something...", said Noire.
Just then, they heard a beeping sound in the room. They all looked around and then turned to Nepgear, who was looking at her N-Gear. She was receiving a call from it.
"Hello?", she answered.
"Gearsy? What are you doing on this line? Where's Noire?", asked a voice.
"Uzume! Thank goodness you called We need some help!", Nepgear exclaimed
"Woah, chill out, girl! What's going on?", Uzume asked.
Nepgear and the others quickly explained what was going on, ranging from Linda's capture to SkullSatamon chasing them down.
"I see... That complicates things...", Uzume sighed.
"What do you mean?", asked Uni.
"Another Digimon is heading your way to the Basilicom. We think he's after the Sharicite", the red haired girl explained.
"Oh no. We can't let that happen!", exclaimed Noire.
"But what can we do? With SkullSatamon chasing us, we might not last much longer", said Nepgear worriedly.
"Just try and hold out. We'll be there to help you out shortly", said Uzume.
"Alright. Thanks Uzume!", said the lilac haired Candidate.
The screen on the N-Gear soon went blank, indicating that the call had ended. Then they looked at the floor number for the elevator. They were almost at ground level.
"So, any ideas, Noire?", asked Uni.
The raven haired CPU then looked up at the ceiling of the elevator, then she snapped her fingers.
"We need to act fast. Follow my lead!", said Noire.
Meanwhile, on the first floor, SkullSatamon had managed to beat the group to the bottom. He was now waiting at the doors for them so that he could wipe them all out in one blast. He smiled sadistically as he stood there patiently for his prey to come to him.
"Come on out, everyone. I know you won't be able to hide forever", said SkullSatamon.
Then, the doors started to open. The skeletal Digimon smirked, seizing the moment as he pointed his staff at the elevator.
"Nail Bone!", he exclaimed, firing a dark beam of light at the elevator.
An explosion soon occurred, causing smoke to come pouring out of the enclosed space. When the smoke cleared, SkullSatamon was extremely surprised by what he saw. The inside was completely empty. He looked inside to see where everyone had gone. Then he looked up and saw an opening above. An emergency hatch had been opened. He growled in annoyance, but he couldn't help but be impressed.
"Clever girls", said the skeletal Digimon.
Just above the now destroyed elevator, there was an open vent. The group had managed to crawl inside just before they reached the ground floor. The vent was small enough for a human or small Digimon to move through, so they had to crawl through to find their way out.
"I should thank K-Sha for this idea", said Noire.
"It's a little cramped for my tastes", Uni commented.
"Ow! Ram, don't poke me there!", Nepgear yelped.
"Hey, I can barely see in here! Your big butt's in the way!", retorted Ram.
"My butt's not that big! Goodness!", the lilac haired Candidate scolded.
"Dusty... Achoo!", sneezed Rom.
"So where does this lead?", Uni asked her sister.
"If I know the layout of my own Basilicom, vents like this should lead outside", said Noire.
"Even if we make it out of here, the odds of us prevailing against SkullSatamon are low", Hagurumon.
"Where's your sense of confidence? We can beat him!", said Dracomon cheerfully.
Linda looked on at the group up ahead and wondered how they were going to stop SkullSatamon. The last time they had fought him, the CPUs and their Digimon had lost to him. Even if she wanted to help them, the pale skinned wasn't sure if she can fight someone like SkullSatamon. Sure, we wasn't afraid to take on the CPUs and their friends back when she was an agent of ASIC, but this was different. This time her life was really at stake.
"All of this reminds me too much of my childhood... Especially that day when...", Linda thought.
Her thoughts were interrupted by a sudden stench in the narrow vent. She cringed in response to the foul smell. The pale skinned girl wasn't the only one who smelled it.
"Ugh! what's that stench?", inquired Uni.
"Did someone leave cheese in their pocket?", asked Ram.
"Sorry. I think that was me", Numemon apologized.
Everyone groaned in disgust. Now they had another reason to find a way out of the vent, preferably in a quick and timely manner. After another minute of crawling, they could see a bit of light up ahead.
"I think we're reaching the end", said Noire.
"Alright! Let's get out of here!", cheered Nepgear.
Pushing hard, the raven haired girl moved the grate out of the way, careful not to make a noise. Afterwards, she moved out of the vent and stretched her limbs, relieved to be out of the cramped space. The rest of the group crawl out one by one until at last, they were all outside the Basilicom. They looked at their surroundings, seeing that everyone was in an alleyway.
They wasted no time making a break for it, running towards an open street that was near the Basilicom entrance. Suddenly, a dark beam of light rained down in front of them as they got out into the open. They all stopped in their tracks, looking up to see where the blast came from. Up on one of the balconies, they saw SkullSatamon aiming his staff at them. The group grew uneasy as he grinned sadistically at them.
"A good try, CPUs, I'll give you that. But this chase is over, and I'll put Linda out of her misery soon enough", he said as he started to float down towards them.
The group looked nervous, but they weren't about to run away from the skeletal Digimon again. Everyone stood forward, placing themselves in front of Linda. They would act as a wall between her and SkullSatamon.
"If you want your former associate, you'll have to get through us!", exclaimed Noire.
"That can be arranged", said SkullSatamon sinisterly.
He aimed his staff at the group, getting ready to blast the group. The CPUs, Peashy and the three Digimon stood their ground. Unbeknownst to the group, the blonde haired girl slowly started to reach for something in one of the pockets of her jacket. Linda looked at her and was about to say something to her when everyone started to hear something.
"Hm?", SkullSatamon said, turning to the direction of the noise.
Everyone else looked as well, seeing some figures incoming. A large yellow creature with one eye, brown head, and a few metal pieces on one of his shoulders and tail was running towards them. Not too far behind was a familier sight. It was Neptune, Uzume, and Dorugamon chasing down the yellow creature. SkullSatamon frowned at the sight.
"Blasted brats... And they followed him too", he muttered under his breath.
"Hey everyone! Hope we didn't miss anything!", Neptune exclaimed.
Everyone was relieved to see the two Planetune CPUs and Dorugamon arriving to help. Then they saw a small insect creature behind the two Planetune CPUs. They were about to ask who it was when it looked at Peashy, who was staring back at it. The insect went wide eyed and then rushed over to the blonde haired girl excitedly.
"It's you! It's you! I've found you again!", he exclaimed.
"FanBeemon! Hey buddy! I thought you were lost!", Peashy said cheerfully.
The two hugged to one another, both happy to be reunited. The CPUs and Neptune were surprised by this How did these two know each other?
"Soooo, anyone mind explaining what's going on?", asked Noire.
"I think explanations can come later, sis", said Uni as she started pointing at where SkullSatamon was.
Meanwhile, the yellow creature saw the skeletal Digimon and stopped just in front of him. The skeletal Digimon looked very annoyed.
"Sorry I'm late, boss!", the monster said.
"Cyclomon, you fool! Not only are you late, but you were followed by those brats!", scolded SkullSatamon.
"I tried to shake them, but they won't let up", Cyclomon said as he tried to come up with an excuse.
"Well, since you're here, go get that Sharicite. I'll finish these brats off", said the skeletal Digimon.
SkullSatamon started to approach the group, but stopped short when Neptune, Uzume and Dorugamon got in front of him. He stared the pair down before laughing.
"You can't be serious! You're no match for me!", he said mockingly.
"We've got some unfinished business", said Dorugamon.
"You're gonna pay for stealing our Share crystal!", shouted Uzume.
"Yeah! Give back our Shares before we go all monkey kong!", added Neptune.
"Ha! As if I'd ever do that. I already have plans for it. Not like you'll live long enough to find out", said SkullSatamon.
The orb on his staff started to glow as he was about to blast the purple pair into dust. Suddenly, a small figure bashed into the skeletal Digimon's head, causing him to misfire his attack, where it fired off harmlessly into the air. He growled as he rubbed his head in annoyance.
"Who dares?!", he exclaimed.
The small figure landed, clad in what looked like samurai armor. It turned out that the figure was Ryudamon! Neptune and Dorugamon were surprised to see him.
"Ryudamon?! What are you doing here?", the winged-beast Digimon asked.
"There are questions that revolve around you and me. And I need you alive if I ever wish to have them answered", said Ryudamon.
Neptune and Dorugamon stared at him for a moment before looking at each other.
"If you want to at least have a chance to survive, use that device to make me stronger", the armor clad Digimon continued.
Just then, Neptune's Digivice started glowing purple. She wondered if Ryudamon's presence had something to do with it. She looked at Dorugamon again.
"Can we trust him to help us?", he asked.
"Well, if he wants to, then that's hunky dory for me. Let's do it!", said Neptune as she aimed her Digivice at Ryudamon. "Digivolve!"
A purple beam of light soon engulfed the armor clad Digimon as he began his Digivolution sequence.
"Ryudamon, Digivolve to...!", he exclaimed.
His body became longer and a little bit more streamlined and became covered in more armor from head to tail. All four of his limbs were shaped differently, two claws forward and one claw on the back. His limbs also had metal bracelets and armor pads attached to them, and his neck was also a little longer.
"Ginryumon!", he shouted as his Digivolution finished.
SkullSatamon looked on at the sight. He now had two Champion level Digimon to contend with. Something about the two being together didn't sit well with him for some reason. But the skeletal Digimon shrugged it off as he smirked with confidence.
"Alright then. First I'll dispose of you, then Linda will be next on the chopping block!", he said.
The two Digimon charged at SkullSatamon, who did the same, ready to face them head on.
Meanwhile, Cyclomon took this opportunity to try and slip away in order to get the Sharicite, but before he could break into the Lastation Basilicom, the other CPUs and their Digimon got in his way. He laughed at the group mockingly.
"You ain't so tough!", the one-eyed Digimon said.
"We won't let you get the Sharicite! barked Nepgear.
Then every other CPU started to glow as they made their stand. No matter what, they would not let anything happen to Lastation's Sharicite.
"HDD Access!", they exclaimed.
The CPUs soon became engulfed in a bright flash of light as they entered their Goddess forms. Their outfits, hair and eye color changed, armor pieces floated around their bodies, wings appeared behind them, and futuristic weapons materialized in their hands.
FanBeemon and Peashy looked in awe on at the group. The insect Digimon was unsure of what to do.
"Should we help them?", asked FanBeemon.
"Nah. I think they got this", said Peashy calmly.
"Now it's your turn, Dracomon!", said Black Heart, pulling out her Digivice. "Digivolve!"
A blue light shot out towards Dracomon and soon engulfed him. His Digivolution sequence had begun.
"Dracomon, Digivolve to...!", said the small dragon Digimon.
His body became bigger, his color changed from cyan to blue, his tail and wings grew larger, and his orange horns grew longer, along with a third that grew on the snout.
"Coredramon!", he exclaimed as he finished his Digivolution.
Next, Nepgear pulled out her Digivice and aimed it at Hagurumon. The metallic gear Digimon stood at the ready.
"Your turn, Hagurumon! Digivolve!", exclaimed Nepgear.
A lilac beam of light shot out and engulfed Hagurumon within. Now his Digivolution was in progress.
"Hagurumon, Digivolve to...!", he shouted.
His body soon grew bigger and changed to a steampunk-style copper-colored body, his eyes went from red to green, and an engine-like thruster pack formed on his back.
"Guardromon!", he exclaimed as puffs of steam spewed out from his body.
Cyclomon growled at them as he charged at the group. Everyone moved out of the way as he sped past them, then Black Sister took aim with her weapon and opened fire. The one-eyed Digimon roared as he was hit by multiple rounds of laser fire. He then turned to face the Lastation Candidate.
"Hyper Heat!", said Cyclomon as a super-heated beam blasted out of his mouth.
Just as the fiery beam was about to hit Black Sister, a wall of ice formed in front of her, blocking the blast off before breaking apart. The White Sisters had saved her skin. They smiled at each other, knowing that they have one another's backs.
"Lacy Dance!", Black Heart shouted as she made several powerful kicks and sword strikes against Cyclomon.
He got knocked backwards on to his back as he was struck by the flurry of attacks. He growled loudly as he got back up. But before he could make another move, Coredramon and Guardromon got in his way.
"Blue Flare Breath!", shouted Coredramon as a blue stream of fire spewed out of his mouth.
"Guardian Barrage!", Guardromon shouted as two small missiles launched from the ports in his arms.
Both attacks connect and Cyclomon was blasted into a nearby wall, causing some pieces of the wall to fall on top of him. Getting more angry, he got back up and rushed at the group again.
"I'll rip you apart for that!", he roared.
Elsewhere, Neptune, Dorugamon and Ginryumon where trying to fend off SkullSatamon, while Linda hid behind a dumpster with Numemon. The pair watched on as the trio fought against the skeletal Digimon, but he would blast them away with his Nail Bone attack. The former ASIC member cringed as they witnessed SkullSatamon's brutality. Numemon looked up at Linda with a questioning look.
"Why aren't we helping them out?", he asked.
"You're kidding, right? There's no way I'm risking my butt to help that brat and her pals!", Linda replied.
"But, Linda, you said you would help them stop that guy", said Numemon.
The pale skinned girl looked back at the battle, from Neptune, Uzume and the two Digimon fighting SkullSatamon to the others duking it out with Cyclomon. she felt like doing something, but she hesitated. Then Numemon looked at her and then back at the scene taking place in front of them.
"Well I can't just sit back and do nothing!", the slime Digimon said as he suddenly rushed towards the battle zone.
"Hey, come back here, you idiot!", Linda shouted.
Meanwhile, the battle against SkullSatamon continued as Neptune and the two Champion level Digimon fought on. Dorugamon bit down on one of SkullSatamon's limbs, but he whacked the winged-beast Digimon off of him with his staff. Dorugamon got pushed back a bit, but he stood his ground. That's when Ginryumon moved in for an attack.
"Metal Armor Blade!", he said as an iron spear launched from his mouth.
"Power Metal!", Dorugamon shouted as he blasted a metal sphere from his mouth.
Both the sphere and the blade made a direct hit on the skeletal Digimon, knocking him backwards. It wasn't exactly enough to hurt him, though. Then he felt something on his back. In the confusion, Neptune had sneaked on to his back. She began striking at him with her katana weapon, but the skeletal Digimon seemed more annoyed than hurt.
"Take this and that and... Uhhh, am I even hurting you?", said Neptune.
"Get off of me!", SkullSatamon exclaimed.
He then proceeded to grab the lilac haired CPU and then tosses her at Dorugamon, causing them to smash into each other with a thud. They groaned as they got back up.
"If you mess with my friends, then you mess with me!", yelled Uzume as she charged at SkullSatamon.
She roared into her megaphone weapon, creating ear piercing soundwaves. This annoyed the skeletal Digimon greatly as he turned his attention towards her.
"Stop that hideous noise! Skull Hammer!", he yelled as he swung his staff down at the red haired girl, knocking her backwards. She grumbled in pain as she tried to get up.
"In hindsight, not such a good plan...", Uzume groaned.
Then Ginryumon launched himself at SkullSatamon, trying to bite at him, but instead he chomped down on the skeletal Digimon's staff. He used his weapon to block the attack and then started to push back the armored Digimon. Then he made a quick and sudden shove, causing Ginryumon to lose his grip, and then SkullSatamon proceeded to bash the Champion level Digimon away with his staff with brutal force. He laughed as he aimed his staff at the group, the yellow orb starting to glow.
"Now your data shall be mine. Hahahahaha!", SkullSatamon laughed.
Suddenly, a piece of sludge flew right into the skeletal Digimon's face, causing him to lose focus as his staff powered down. He soon wiped it off of his face. He looked to see who threw it at him, only to see Numemon staring him down.
"Leave them alone!", the slime Digimon said as he tossed some more sludge.
SkullSatamon was not amused, however, and just batted it away with his hand, then he swung his staff down at him, causing Numemon to go go flying into a wall. He groaned as he tried to get up.
"You annoy me. Begone!", said SkullSatamon as he pointed his staff at the slime Digimon.
Just then, Linda got in his way, spreading her arms outward in a blocking position. SkullSatamon just stared at her. His target was now in the open and undefended. And yet she's choosing to defend such a weak Digimon.
"What's this now? Have you grown a heart all of a sudden?", he asked.
"This guy may be pathetic and gross, but at least he's not a total monster like you! Now leave him alone!", shouted Linda.
"Hmph! You've grown soft. All the more reason for me to destroy you", said SkullSatamon.
He raised his staff up high, preparing to strike down at the two. Both Linda and Numemon shut their eyes, waiting for the inevitable. But just as the skeletal Digimon was about to strike, Neptune, Dorugamon and Ginryumon had tackled him from behind, causing him to fall over. This gave Linda and Numemon a chance to get away quickly.
"You saved me! I knew you were a nice lady!", cheered Numemon.
"D-Don't get the wrong idea! Jeez...", said Linda, blushing a little.
Growling angrily, SkullSatamon rose up and forced the lilac haired CPU and her two Digimon off of him, knocking them backward. He turned towards them and then looked out to where Cyclomon was. He could see that the one-eyed Digimon was having trouble as the CPUs and the two Digimon were giving him some trouble.
"What are you doing, Cyclomon?! Stop wasting time and get that Sharicite!", the skeletal Digimon ordered.
"What do you think I've been trying, boss?!", Cyclomon replied frantically.
But no matter what he could did, the one-eyed Digimon just couldn't seem to break past the CPU's solid defense. SkullSatamon would've helped his minion, but he had his own problems to deal with. Things were starting to get out of hand.
Cyclomon charged at Guardromon, who proceeded to blast him with another Guardian Barrage. This wouldn't stop the rampaging Digimon so easily, however, as he swiped his arms at the bronze robot Digimon, delivering a dent in his metal plating. Nepgear rushed to her partner's aid, her saber at the ready.
"Mirage Dance!", she exclaimed as she struck at Cyclomon with a series of powerful swings.
He roared in pain as he attempts to bash her away with one of his arms, but the twin Candidates were there to stop him.
"Ice Coffin!", the White Sisters both exclaimed, freezing the one-eyed Digimon's arm in place.
This only distracted the one-eyed Digimon momentarily as he broke the ice around his arm by smashing it with his other limb. Cyclomon roared angrily as he tried to blast the group with his Hyper Heat, but they all kept moving out of the way.
"No one makes a fool outta me! Hyper Heat!", he exclaimed as he blasted another stream of super heated energy.
Everyone dodged again, further infuriating the one-eyed Digimon. He then charged at the CPUs and their Digimon once again, only to be placed in a grip lock with Coredramon. They growled at each other as they shoved one another back and forth, struggling to gain control of the battle. At last, the blue dragon Digimon headbutts Cyclomon in the face, making him stumble backwards. Then, Black Heart leaped over her partner and raise her longsword, her blade irradiating in glowing energy.
"Fall Slash!", the Lastation Goddess shouted as she swung her sword downward, launching a wave of energy at Cyclomon.
The attack connects, pushing the one-eyed Digimon back even further. He swiped at her, but she moved out of the way. Then he saw the Lastation Candidate taking aim at him, her railgun weapon charging up with power. He he growled as he prepared his own attack.
"Hyper Heat!", he exclaimed, blasting a super heated beam at Black Sister.
"EX Multi Blaster! Fire!", the Candidate exclaimed as she fired a beam of her own.
Both attacks connect, but instead of causing an explosion, the lasers start pushing against each other in a beam struggle. Black Sister and Cyclomon poured all their effort into their firepower, but the white haired Candidate was proving to be the better of the two. Eventually, her own beam overtook the one-eyed Digimon's own attack, blasting the monster into the air upon hitting him. He yelled in pain as he was sent upward.
When SkullSatamon saw this, he was not too thrilled about it. His own minion was now being over powered by a bunch of girls and their Digimon allies. His plan was falling apart.
"Brainless fool...", he thought.
"Let's finish this!", shouted Black Heart.
"Right!", added Coredramon.
The two flew up towards the airborne Cyclomon, who now started to panic. He was helpless in the air, and he had just about used up all his energy in the beam struggle with Black Sister. The Lastation CPU and her blue dragon Digimon smirked as they readied their last attack.
"Lacy Dance!", Noire yelled.
She kicked the one-eyed Digimon upwards and slashed at him multiple times with her longsword. Cyclomon roared in pain as he looked down to see what was coming for him next.
"Blue Flare Breath!", exclaimed Coredramon as he blasted a powerful stream of blue fire at the one-eyed Digimon.
The blast hits Cyclomon with a direct hit, an explosion occurring seconds afterward. SkullSatamon looked on as the explosion launched Cyclomon at an incredible speed, sending him out of the city and away into the forests beyond, the one-eyed Digimon yelling loudly before zooming out of sight.
"Grah! That imbecile let them get the better of him!", the skeletal Digimon yelled angrily.
Then he noticed that everyone had started to surround him. He was now their next target. SkullSatamon would've liked to deal with them all in one fell swoop, but he did not have the time for something like this. His mission to eliminate Linda did not go according to plan. However, another idea had formulated in his head.
"Give it up, you fiend!", said Black Heart as she pointed her long sword at the skeletal Digimon.
"Yeah! And while you're at it, give back our Share crystal!", Neptune demanded.
"You've got nowhere to run, skull face!", added Uzume.
SkullSatamon looked all around him, and then he started laughing. This made everyone tense up, not knowing what he was about to do.
"You've won nothing! Nail Bone!", he exclaimed as he raising his staff up in the air.
The yellow orb on top then blasted multiple dark beams of light in all directions, blasting at everyone in range. Most of the CPUs and their Digimon were knocked off of their feet, while others were blown away a couple of yards. As everyone tried to get back up, SkullSatamon started flying upwards.
"I won't be going emptyhanded! Hahahahaha!", he laughed as he then blasted a hole in one of the walls of the Basilicom and then flew inside.
"Oh no! The Sharicite!", exclaimed Black Heart.
She and Black Sister quickly flew up to try and stop the skeletal Digimon. But as they where about to reach the hole that he created, their bodies suddenly started to glow and flicker, causing them to stop in midair. Then they were engulfed in light and soon enough, they had reverted back to their human forms. Without their HDD, the Lastation CPUs could no longer fly.
"Aaahhh!", they screamed as they went into a freefall.
Reacting quickly, Coredramon took to the air and caught them in his hands before they could hit the ground. The two girls sighed in relief as they smiled at the blue dragon Digimon.
"Thank you, Coredramon", said Noire.
"No problem", her partner replied.
Then they heard the laughter of the skeletal Digimon as he flew out of the hole. Everyone gasped as they saw what was in his hand. He had stolen Lastation's Sharicite!
"See you girls later! Hahahahaha!", SkullSatamon laughed as he started to fly away.
Uni yelled angrily as she pulled out her rifle and fired away, trying to shoot down the evil Digimon, but to no avail. He kept on laughing until he flew out of sight and away from Lastation. Noire looked across angrily at what she had just witnessed, not believing what had just happened. Then she turned to her sister, who had a sad look on her face.
"I'm sorry, Noire... I tried to stop him", said Uni.
"It's okay. There's nothing we can do about it now", Noire replied.
Everyone was now concerned. SkullSatamon now had both Planetune and Lastation's Share crystals, rendering the CPUs of both nations powerless. Now the only two nations that had their Sharicite left were Lowee and Leanbox. The only question is where would SkullSatamon strike next. What does he plan on doing with them? And how much further was he willing to go to get the remaining Share crystals? As the sun started to set, the CPUs and their Digimon looked at each other with worry.
"I think we need to give Blanc and Vert a call", Nepgear spoke up.
"Yeah. But first...", said Neptune.
She turned to look at Peashy and FanBeemon, who had been standing in the sidelines the whole time. She took one look at the blonde haired girl and smiled.
"So you're the friend that this little dude was talking about? Pleased to meet ya!", the lilac haired girl said.
Nice to meet you too. Thanks for finding him for me, miss... uh...", said Peashy.
"I'm Neptune, the main character of main characters. And may I ask for thy name, my good lady?", Neptune asked.
"Oh, right. My name is Peashy. Thanks again!", said the blonde haired girl.
"Ahh yes, Peashy... Peashy... Pea... shy...", Neptune echoed.
She stood their as she slowly started to process the name that was given to her. After a sudden realization dawned on her, the lilac haired CPU's eyes widened.
"SAY WHAAATTT?!", she exclaimed loudly.
Meanwhile, in an uninhabited forest, night soon fell. As the crickets chirped and night birds sang, a large wolf creature was limping through the woods and bushes. Gururumon was still sore from his fight with the CPU of Lowee. He had failed in his mission to steal the Sharicite from the snowy nation, and now he had begun to fear for his life. What was he going to say to SkullSatamon when his master finds out what had happened? As he continued on his way, he heard some rustling and voices in the distance. When he got closer, he saw that it was both Saberdramon and Cyclomon.
"I'm guessing your jobs didn't go so well either?", asked Gururumon.
"I couldn't even make it inside the Basilicom!", said Cyclomon angrily.
"That insolent woman and her Digimon blew me out of the sky!", added Saberdramon.
"Well, that's just great. Now what are we going to do?", the wolf Digimon pondered.
"You will do nothing at all", said a voice that made all three of them shiver.
They looked towards a very dark area of the woods and saw that their master, SkullSatamon, was approaching. He looked very disappointed with them. The three Champion level Digimon started shaking as they stared him down.
"P-Please, S-SkullSatamon! Spare us!", Gururumon panicked.
"Y-Yeah, boss! We tried our b-best!", added Cyclomon.
"I don't want to hear any excuses! I gave all three of you simple instructions, and yet you somehow managed to fail me miserably", said SkullSatamon angrily.
"Please, master! Give us another chance! We swear we won't fail you again!", sqwuaked Saberdramon.
The skeletal Digimon looked at all three of them for a moment, then smiled sinisterly.
"You're right. You won't fail me... ever again", he said menacingly.
He raised his staff at the three Digimon, who were now scared beyond belief. They screamed as SkullSatamon fired his Nail Bone attack, an explosion soon silencing them afterwards. When the smoke cleared, their bodies turned into nothing but zeros and ones. Then the loose data flew towards the skeletal Digimon, his staff soon absorbing what was left of the three. He cackled to himself as he soon took flight and headed to parts unknown.
Holy cow. I think this is pretty much my biggest chapter. I didn't even mean for it to get this big. I even thought about just making a third part for this, but in the end I decided to just roll with it and see what happens. Still, if you made it this far, I hope that this chapter was to your liking.
And now that I think about it, how long do you like my chapters? Do you sometimes like them short? Or do you prefer long ones like this? Let me know what you think and what you about this chapter.
Also, to one of my readers asking about Uni, I already have a partner in mind for her in the future, but that will have to wait until later, so stay tuned.
If you enjoyed this, be sure to leave a review and follow for more chapters in the future. Until next time everyone!
