Like a wicked tidal wave, the Dark Tribe's forces charged at the wall of the Thunder Tribe's capital, the Dark Digimon determined to strike down all in their path and decimate the entire city in the name of the Dark Lady.
In response to the invasion, the Thunder Tribe's warriors and their mystics unleashed a barrage of powerful lightning and electricity attacks upon their foes, the force generated striking at many of the Dark Digimon.
But even with the Thunder Tribe's great power, many more servants of the Dark Lady continued to charge towards the capital's walls.
Unwilling to just sit back themselves, the heroes and heroines felt determined to defeat this invading force, to strike down the last of the Dark Generals, to stop Medusamon, and save the Thunder Tribe.
Their D-Bracers glowing with energy and consuming the heroes and heroines in pillars of light, the united team set themselves for their latest conflict with the Dark Tribe.
"MagnaVeedramon!"
"Samudramon!"
"Lightbearer Ophanimon!"
"SacredPhoenixmon!"
"MedievalGallantmon!"
"MysticSakuyamon!"
"CrimsonAldamon!"
"GaleSilphymon!"
"LordShoutmon!"
"ShaolinArresterdramon!"
"AncientMervamon!"
"Sagemon!"
"ShogunOujamon!"
"BardMusimon!"
When the lights faded, the Thunder Tribe forces expressed their own awe and amazement to see the heroic Digimon and Appmon, which only furthered to see the Digi-armoured forms of Marcus and Yoshi.
Ready to help the electric Digimon in their battle and alongside both Jeri and Novicmon, who each had Digi-runes glowing along their arms, all were ready to take on the invading Dark Tribe.
Leaping from the walls, the heroes and heroines moved to strike first, to take on the oncoming Dark Tribe Digimon and halt their advances.
"Holy Strike!"
"Rinkageki!"
"Holy Judgement!"
"Sacred Flame!"
"Rage of the Wyvern!"
"Full Spirit Wave!"
"Crimson Force!"
"Hurricane Spiral!"
"Corona Dash!"
"Nature's Wrath!"
"Victory Slasher!"
"Star Shine Dive!"
"Ancient Blaze!"
"Ultimate Search Strike!"
"Savage Slash!"
"Rhythmic Stream!"
Moving as a team and uniting their attacks alongside the magical and powerful blasts of energy from Jeri and Novicmon, the heroes and heroines gained the first advantage in their battle, decimating the first wave of Dark Tribe Digimon.
From their loss the remaining invaders turned their attention to the group, the Dark Digimon each seeking to strike down those who continued to oppose the Dark Lady and remove their threat to the Dark Tribe's supremacy.
"The heroes of Witchelny stand with us this day! Move forward and drive these fiends from our lands once and for all!" Fulgurmon declared as the Thunder Warriors all cheered in response.
Leading the charge as the city gates opened, ThunderDynasmon hurried to battle, bringing waves of Thunder Tribe Digimon alongside him, who all surged out to meet the Dark Tribe forces head on, turning the lands around the city into an all-out war zone.
Continuing to battle the various Dark Digimon, focusing on many of the Mega Level and Ultimate Level warriors in order to lessen the load on the Thunder Tribe's forces, the heroes and heroines remained strong, striking down the Dark Tribe's forces with a unified determination, seeking to end this battle and gain the aid of their new allies in the battle against the Dark Lady, each eager to end this nightmare once and for all.

Not too far from the battlefield, Medusamon watched the heroes and heroines with interest as they blazed through her large army, the serpentine Dark General now understanding how they were able to defeat her fellow Dark Generals and made it as far as they had.
Looking around, Medusamon's eyes then landed on MagnaVeedramon as she watched the holy knight Digimon show his great strength within the battle, knowing that within the heroic Digimon's form was the young human male which the Dark Lady had chosen for her grand design.
Although Medusamon had no idea what role the boy played in said design, she knew that the Dark Lady would graciously reward her if she could bring him to her Mistress.
And fortunately for the serpentine Digimon, Medusamon already had a plan in mind, one that would soon cripple the heroes and heroines and leave them at her mercy.
With that thought in mind, Medusamon flapped her wings and took off, the Dark General shooting toward the battlefield, eager to claim the Dark Lady's prize and her own glory.
.
.
.
"Magna Saber!" MagnaVeedramon declared with a further might in his voice as he cut through all the heads of a DarkHydramon, before quickly flipping to avoid the Dark Digimon's tail.
Cutting through the beast's body and causing it to dissolve into Data particles, MagnaVeedramon remained vigilant of his surroundings, looking out for himself and his allies.
Looking around, the holy Knight Digimon then took in the sights of his friends taking on the other dark forces around them, with Lightbearer Ophanimon and MysticSakuyamon working together as they unleashed blasts of light and waves of fox spirits, striking at a trio of Serpentismon and knocking the Dark Digimon back, which gave pained hisses, before dissolving into Data particles.
Samudramon, MedievalGallantmon and Marcus had united their own strengths together as they clashed, parried and struck back upon the SerpentKnightmon and ShadowKnightmon, while taking down a group of DeathWendigomon, Serpentismon and DarkHydramon.
High above the thunderous skies and showing her own might, SacredPhoenixmon skewed a SkullDracomon with her flaming spear, the Dark Digimon dissolving into black wisps and Data particles, before the Digimon of Love moved onto her next foe.
Continuing to survey the battle and moving his head to the side, MagnaVeedramon then saw CrimsonAldamon and GaleSilphymon once again working together, the Legendary Warriors dashing through the air as they cut through the waves of BlackGargoylemon and a pair of SkullDracomon, while below, Yoshi was using her nature abilities to conjure up vines to strangle and crush the Dark Digimon before her.
Not too far off, the Digimon of Miracles saw LordShoutmon, ShaolinArresterdramon and AncientMervamon were working together to battle the Dark Tribe forces around them.
Familiar with their strengths and weaknesses, LordShoutmon, ShaolinArresterdramon and AncientMervamon continued to look out for one another, the trio expelling near flawless skill within their battle.
From his continued observation, MangaVeedramon could easily see the better teamwork between ShaolinArresterdramon and AncientMervamon, no doubt due to the growing bond shared between Tagiru and Nene.
Watching the duo and LordShoutmon strike and clash with the Umbramon and GrandUmbramon, the Digimon King and his friends were able to drive the shadowy Digimon back with their continued teamwork and strength.
On the other side of the battlefield, meanwhile, MagnaVeedramon saw, with BardMusimon as support, Sagemon and ShogunOujamon slashed through the various Dark Tribe Digimon before them, showing their own continued teamwork that had only grown since the time they first arrived in Witchelny as the trio battled their dark foes.
Finally, the holy knight Digimon looked over Jeri, to see the brunette unleash a powerful blast of energy, taking the form of a lion which then charged through the Dark Tribe forces.
Aiding the brunette and ensuring her protection, Novicmon created protective barriers around himself and around Jeri.
Using various spells to halt and to push back the enemy, the sight of all the heroes and heroines fighting as a true team caused MagnaVeedramon to smile from seeing just how far he and his friends had all come since arriving in this new and different world than the ones they were more used to.
Each member of their team was determined to stop the Dark Lady, to save Witchelny, restore order to this world and to return home to their families and loved ones, knowing that they had done their job and protected this world from the evil plaguing it.
And now, the heroes and heroines each felt closer to their goal than ever before, the Digimon of Miracles even believing that the next time they encountered the Dark Lady herself again, they would have the strength they needed to finally defeat her.
"Ssserpent'sss Flame!" A sudden feminine voice then declared, the uproar causing MagnaVeedramon to react as he turned and jumped back just before a wave of dark flames narrowly avoided his being, this causing the holy knight Digimon to think to himself. 'Less musing and more focus on the battle.'
However, much to MagnaVeedramon's shock, the dark flames weren't only coming for him.
Moving around the area, the dark flames seemed to move on their own and began to strike at each and every member of the team.
Seeing the oncoming dark inferno, the heroes and heroines dodged and countered the blaze as best they could, to avoid the attacks as they were forced to the ground and forced together.
Moving back to back as the flames formed a circle around them, while the Dark Tribe Digimon surrounded them just outside the circle, all shrieking, roaring and hissing at them with a dark glee,the heroes and heroines remained on guard.
"Ssso nice to finally meet the brave heroesss of Witchelny." A voice then said with a dark amusement in their tone.
Turning their attention upward, the heroes and heroines looked over who they believed to be Medusamon, who smirked down at them, the snake heads at the end of her hair all hissing as the Dark General hovered above the dark inferno.
"If you think you can beat us, think again." MagnaVeedramon remarked as he and his friends prepared to fight, adding with a continued determination in his voice. "The other Dark Generals thought they could defeat us, so come at us so we can end this battle!"
"I have a different idea in mind." Medusamon said back with a wicked smile, before her eyes, as well as the eyes of the serpent heads upon her crown, suddenly shone with a dark red light, one that intensified to the point that it was blinding.
When the light faced, Lightbearer Ophanimon blinked her eyes in confusion, finding no damage or change upon herself and was left wondering what Medusamon's attack had done.
However, turning to look upon MagnaVeedramon, the Digimon of Light did all she could to not scream in horror to the sight before her.
Standing beside her, the Digimon of Miracles had been turned into a solid statue, his armour and skin now turned to stone as he remained stuck in his pose, much to Lightbearer Ophanimon's growing shock and dread.
And it was not only MagnaVeedramon that was affected, for Samudramon, MedievalGallantmon, CrimsonAldamon, Marcus, LordShoutmon, ShaolinArresterdramon, Sagemon, BardMusimon and Novicmon had also been left in petrified states, this leaving Jeri, ShogunOujamon and the female Digimon the only ones unaffected as they looked upon their male teammates in horror.
"What did you do to them?!" GaleSilphymon demanded after overcoming her nital shock and concerns for Takuya and her friends as she looked back up at Medusamon, who gave an amused chuckle in response.
"That wasss my Ssserpent'sss Gaze, it turnsss my foes into statuesss for me." The Dark General explained with a wicked smile, which only enraged the heroines even further.
Although she too was concerned for Marcus and the others, Yoshi had to ask. "Then why weren't we affected?"
"It only affects malesss." Medusamon said in reply, the wicked snake Digimon adding with a continued condescending tone. "But taking all of you down will be easssier with them out of the way."
Hearing this, the heroines growled in anger and understood that ShogunOujamon was safe from Medusamon's power due to Eri being fused with Dokamon, thus leaving the warrior Appmon still able to aid in their fight.
While the group felt concern, not only for their male friends and loved ones, but for the fact that more than half their team was now out for the count, as Lightbearer Ophanimon, SacredPhoenixmon, MysticSakuyamon, Jeri, GaleSilphymon, Yoshi, AncientMervamon and ShogunOujamon were the only ones left to fight off the Dark General and her forces.
"Heaven's Light!" Lightbearer Ophanimon then called with might as she cast her healing aura upon the boys, the Digimon of Light hoping to break them out of Medusamon's spell, but found her dread continuing to plague her to see her friends and MagnaVeedramon and the others still imprisoned as stone statues.
"Sssorry sssweetie, but asss long asss I live, they will remain ssstatuesss." Medusamon told Lightbearer Ophanimon with a wicked smile, which remained even as the Digimon of Light sent a death glare her way.
"Then that means we just need to take you down!" MysticSakuyamon stated with a determined tone.
Swinging her spear around as she prepared to fight Medusamon, the other girls followed in the mystic Digimon's example as they prepared to take on the serpentine Dark General.
"Leave usss and continue the asssault!" Medusamon commanded her forces with a dismissive wave of her hand, the command causing the Dark Tribe forces to resume their attack upon the Thunder Tribe, which left the heroines to deal with the Dark General herself.
Grinning wickedly, Medusamon's snake hairs then moved to face the group of heroines, the Dark General then announcing with further wickedness. "Ssserpent'sss Flame!"
From each of the serpents' heads, streams of dark flame were sent straight towards the heroines.
Reacting to the attack, MysticSakuyamon responded as she slammed her spear into the ground and declared in retaliation. "Fox Seal!"
Being the only one with a protective barrier ability left, the mystic Digimon created a protective shield around herself and her friends, both active and turned to stone, protecting the boys from any potential damage they might suffer as the Dark General's attack slammed into the barrier, which caused MysticSakuyamon to groan against the strain of the powerful flames.
Once the attack ended and MysticSakuyamon dropped her barrier, Lightbearer Ophanimon, SacredPhoenixmon, Jeri, GaleSilphymon, Yoshi, AncientMervamon and ShogunOujamon jumped into action, each desiring to make the serpentine Dark General pay for what she had done to their beloveds and friends, where the group moved to strike as one.
"Striking Light!"
"Phoenix Knuckle!"
"Wind Blades!"
"Thorn Saber!"
"Skydive Force!"
"Savage Slash!"
"Ssserpentisss Ssstrike!" Medusamon bellowed in response to her attackers as her body was engulfed in dark flames.
The Dark General then shot herself toward the girls at speeds they could barely keep up with, even GaleSilphymon's speed was outmatched by the Dark General's.
Blocking and parrying their strikes with her claw-like hands, Medusamon pushed aside Lightbearer Ophanimon, GaleSilphymon, Yoshi, AncientMervamon and ShogunOujamon through her relentlessness, who let out cries of pain from the snake Digimon's power.
The Dark General then dodged the blow from SacredPhoenixmon's burning fist, before she slid serpentine body around the Digimon of Love's wrist, where she quickly slithered up her arm and delivered a powerful punch to SacredPhoenixmon's face, the attack sending her crashing down with a cry.
Striking down SacredPhoenixmon and quickly turning herself around, Medusamon then launched herself at Jeri.
Defending herself, Jeri brought her sword up, which began to glow with Digi-magic and creating a barrier as the Dark General tried to push through, which left the brunette groaning in pain as she tried to hold her foe back.
"Full Spirit Wave!" MysticSakuyamon then announced.
Sending a wave of fox spirits right at Medusamon and striking the Dark General in the side, sending her flying, this allowed Jeri a moment to catch her breath as the other girls surrounded her, looking to see Medusamon move herself upright as she glared at the heroines.
"If that'sss the way you want thisss, then ssso be it!" The serpentine Dark General declared with venom in her tone, the Dark Digimon looking forward to making the girls suffer before eliminating them, while the girls prepared to keep going, to save the boys and end this battle once and for all.

Continuing to aid their warriors and defend their city, Fulgurmon, ThunderDynasmon, StormTactimon and ArcaneTheurgistmon continued to fight against the Dark Tribe invaders.
"Storm Annihilation!" The leader of the Thunder Tribe bellowed as he brought his sword up and aimed toward the sky, sending out a stream of electricity into the air, which then spread out and struck as many of the Dark Digimon as possible, the attack causing those struck by the blast to cry out in pain, before dissolving into Data particles.
Taking a moment to breathe, Fulgurmon's eyes then widened to see that most of the heroes had been turned to stone, while the heroines remaining were battling alone against Medusamon, causing dread to fill his being.
"Have faith, my Lord." ArcaneTheurgistmon told his leader, getting Fulgurmon's attention as the chief mystic then added as he looked above. "Hope is not yet lost."
Looking in the direction his advisor was looking, the leader of the Thunder Tribe looked to see the KnightKabuterimon he had sent as a messenger to the alliance coming back, causing Fulgurmon to smile.
They only need to hold out a little longer, while praying that the remaining heroes present could defeat Medusamon.
.
.
.
"Ssserpent'sss Flame!" Medusamon declared once again as she unleashed a further stream of dark flames at the heroines, who dodged the oncoming attack and moved to strike back at the Dark General with a fierce determination.
"Holy Judgement!"
"Sacred Flame!"
"Full Spirit Wave!"
"Hurricane Spiral!"
"Violet Blast!"
"Ancient Blaze!"
"Golden Arrow!"
Dodging herself, Medusamon then let out a hiss of pain as Lightbearer Ophanimon and SacredPhoenixmon's attacsk burnt her wings slightly, before the Dark General received a powerful kick in the chest from GaleSilphymon, the attack sending Medusamon crashing into the ground below, before the girls quickly surrounded the Dark General.
Quickly using her Digi-magic, Jeri formed a barrier spell on top of Medusamon's form, this causing the Dark General to hiss in rage as she tried to get up, but found herself surprised as the energy of the human girl was stronger than she expected.
"Release your spell on the boys, now!" Jeri then demanded, putting as much energy into her barrier as she could in order to force Meduamon to free the guys from their stony imprisonment.
"Never!" Medusamon hissed back, her body becoming engulfed in dark purple flames, before she then slammed her claws into the barrier, shattering the barrier and sending Jeri flying back with a cry.
Fortunately, Lightbearer Ophanimon caught her friend in the process, putting her back down on the ground as they looked back at Medusamon.
Looking back, the heroines then saw the Dark General float into the air, the dark flames around her growing in intensity, before she declared with spite. "Ssso be it! You'll regret forcing me to ussse my full power!"
As though hearing Medusamon's declaration, a trio of Serpentismon erupted from the ground, where they rose their snake-like bodies into the air and began circling around the Dark General as their heroines looked in shock to see the snake Mega Digimon be consumed by the dark purple flames.
"Dark Evolution!" Medusamon bellowed as the flames consumed her and the Serpentismon, pulling them around the Dark General as the ball of flames grew in size, soon becoming the size of a Horror, before bursting from the conflagration and revealing Medusamon in a new and terrifying form.
Keeping much of her original being, the new form of the Dark General was now larger than SacredPhoenixmon, with six black wings coming out of her back and golden scales forming along her upper torso.
The serpentine heads that made up Medusamon's hair were massive in size now, which could easily swallow Lightbearer Ophanimon whole, should they desire, each coming over the Dark General's shoulders, around her sides and close to her serpentine tail, where the new snake Digimon declared in a menacing voice. "DarkMedusssamon!"
Looking down upon the heroines, DarkMedusamon grinned wickedly as she declared with a dark vengeance. "I ssshall devour you all, destroy thisss wretched tribe once and for all, and bring your dear boysss before the Dark Lady herssself! Now, prepare for the end!"
Preparing themselves to give it their all, the heroines were ready to take DarkMedusamon down, no matter the cost.
