Red: Sorry, this took so long, we've been busy.
-Nicktoons Digimon Armada-
Nene stared at the BlackGatomon, who said that they had already met. "We've met?" She said confused as Sparrowmon moved in front of her. "Of course, though they weren't on good terms." She replied with a smile when some explosions went off nearby. "Uh oh, we better move!" BlackGatomon said as some leaves rustled and someone came out of them slowly. He was tall and wearing a pure black Kevlar armor suit and a helmet, making sure no features of him could be identified. "Oh it's you!" The black Digimon said before running up his leg and onto his shoulder, purring softly as he pet her.
*Elsewhere*
Tyrannomon let out an ear bleeding roar when its body started to glow. "Uh oh!" They all said as it became larger and its skin changed to black and Digizoid metal fused to its body. It let out a loud vicious roar as its teeth turned chrome.
"Great just great!" Shoutmon grunted before pulling out his microphone, charging forward and taking a deep breath. "ROCKIN'-ROLLER!" He screamed, making everyone cover their ears as he assaulted the beast with his hyper-sonic voice, sending it back a foot or two before it struck him with its tail. "Yaaaah!"
'Okay, not my greatest idea.' He thought in pain when he landed in a tree with a birds nest on his head. "TAIL-HAMMER!"
'Is that?' Joe thought as a massive tail smacked MetalTyrannomon right in the face. "Alright!" Mikey exclaimed as his new Fusion Loader screen lit up a green color, indicating that it had scanned the new Digimon.
"Whoa!" Jeremy said.
"Amazing, isn't it?" They heard a new voice say. They turned around and saw a man wearing a grey jumpsuit with a dark brownish grey bowl haircut. "Who're you?"
"I'm Cody." He said. "Great to see ya again Ankylomon!" Ikakkumon spoke to the new Digimon as the MetalTyrannomon got up and fired missiles. "Watch out!" Dorulumon exclaimed as the missiles hit Shoutmon and blew up the tree. "We need more power!" Leomon exclaimed.
"But how!?" Knightmon said before being thrown up in the sky. "Wait I have an idea!" Mikey said.
*Elsewhere*
"What's that?" T.K. exclaimed as he looked out his window.
"It's MetalTyrannomon!" Patamon said, jumping on his head. "We better do something T.K.!" He said before looking up and deadpanning at the sight of a small red and white blur. 'Shoutmon, what did you do this time?'
*Nene*
"Lay, we need to leave." The black covered person said to BlackGatomon. "Right!" She nodded. "Wait who're you?" Nene asked. "…A friend." He responded coldly before he and BlackGatomon bursted into pixels and disappeared in a blinding flash of light.
*Elsewhere*
The blonde adult ran through the streets of the city. "Come on T.K.!" Patamon exclaimed as he pushed past people. "I'm coming!" He said with his phone up to his ear so people wouldn't think he was crazy and talking to himself.
*Mikey*
MetalTyrannomon screeched as Knightmon fell down like a meteor from the sky, making a large crater. "Alright you guys ready to do this?" Mikey asked while catching Shoutmon. "Yeah we're ready!" He groaned when BlackSparrowmon attacked. "I don't think so! Abyss-Bombardment!"
"Guys watch out!" Nene yelled as Sparrowmon flew into the path of the attack which exploded on impact.
"NO SPARROWMON!" Shoutmon yelled as she crashed into the ground. He ran over to her after jumping from Mikey's arms. "Sparrowmon! You okay!?"
"..." She just gave a glare that said 'Really?'.
"Hehehe right." He sweatdropped before turning into code again with the others. "Alright." Mikey said as he held up his Fusion Loader 2.0.
"SHOUTMON!"
*READY!*
"LEOMON"
*AFFIRMATIVE!*
"DORULUMON!"
*ON IT!*
"BEELZEMON!"
*TARGET IN SIGHT!*
"KNIGHTMON!"
*READY FOR BATTLE!*
"BALLISTAMON!"
*BOO YA BABY!*
"IKKAKUMON!"
*OH YEAH!*
"ANKYLOMON!"
*HERE WE GO!*
"SPARROWMON!"
*ON IT!*
"DIGIFUSE!"
Mikey's Digivice glew as all of the Digimon glowed and merged with Shoutmon, whose body grew to a massive height. He had gained Dorulumon's four legs, Ankylomon and Knightmon's combined armor, Ikkakumon's horn in the form of a lance on his right hand, Beelzemon's guns, Sparrowmon's wings and Leomon's claws and sword.
"SHOUTMON EX-Z!" He declared with a mighty roar.
"Alright let's do this!" Shoutmon EX-Z lifted his sword and charged MetalTyrannomon.
T.K. ran through a bush, trying to catch up with Patamon. 'Man I'm outta shape!' He thought as he finally made it up a cliff, breathing very heavily.
"Look T.K.!" Patamon said as he landed on his head gently and pointed to the fight up ahead. "Is that Tyrannomon!?" He exclaimed. "It's a MetalTyrannomon!"
"It Digivolved!?"
*Mikey*
"Damn it! Still not strong enough!" Mikey said angrily as Shoutmon was sent flying into a mountainside. "Ow!"
"Abyss-Bombardment!" BlackSparrowmon shouted as he readied his attack.
"BOOM-BUBBLE!" Patamon shouted, firing a sound bubble that bursted in BlackSparrowmon's face, preventing his attack to be completed. "GAH! You little shit!" He snarled at the small orange Digimon. "T.K.!" Joe shouted happily "Hey Joe!" He smiled as MetalTyrannomon roared and charged the fused Shoutmon. "Oh no ya don't!" Patamon exclaimed as he fired another Boom-Bubble at MetalTyrannomon, making it dizzy and giving it a splitting headache. "ABYSS-BOMBARDMENT/BOOM-BUBBLE!" Both attacks made contact with each other, causing an explosion that covered them all in smoke. "Oh boy. Shoutmon, what did you do?" Patamon deadpanned. "WHY THE HELL DOES EVERYONE INSTANTLY SUSPECT ME!?" He exclaimed angrily as the beast slowly got back up. 'Damn it. If this keeps going MetalTyrannomon will be destroyed. We need to retreat.' BlackSparrowmon thought as he flew away, grabbing MetalTyrannomon by the tail and leaving through a portal soon after Shoutmon's fusion ended.
"My head." He groaned as Ballistamon fell on him. "GAH!"
"Oops sorry little buddy!" He sweat dropped. "My leg!"
"You don't have legs Gomamon." Patamon said deadpanning. "Oh yeah." He said with a nervous chuckle.
"Guys!" They turned to Sparrowmon who was now helping Nene stand, her entire right side stained a dark crimson. Mikey ran over to them instantly while the others tried to find Mammothmon, not knowing that he was already gone. "Nene I'm so glad you're alright!" Sparrowmon said as he stopped running. "What happened!?"
"Mammothmon attacked us, but a Digimon called BlackGatomon destroyed him, after he impaled me." Nene responded as some blood escaped her lips.
*Later*
"So…the Digital World truly is in need of us again." Cody said calmly, though inside he was nervous. "I'm afraid so." Leomon said. It had been two hours since they re-entered the human world, and currently they were temporarily in T.K.'s apartment. "Damn." Armadillomon said. "I was hoping to never have to deal with Devimon again." Patamon shivered.
"So what now?" Joe asked no one in particular. "Simple; we train." Cody said in a monotone voice. "Yeah I agree!" Jeremy said, none of them noticing the TV channel change to an alert.
"We interrupt this program to bring you this special announcement! 23 year old Yamato Ishida has escaped from prison! Officials say he is heavily armed and dangerous. If you see this man please report it to police immediately."
*Matt*
Matt panted heavily as he ran with Gabumon on his back. No longer was he wearing a torn grey jumpsuit. Now he wore a green tank top that showed off his muscles, a short sleeved black jacket, blue jeans, black combats, and black gloves. "Careful Matt!" Gabumon whispered as he was inside a black backpack. "Don't worry pal. I just gotta lay low…maybe I can find Izzy." He said as he made his way home; to Odaiba.
*Davis*
"So how are the others?" Veemon asked as Davis threw him a large bag of potato chips. "They're doing great, I guess." Davis looked down as he kept flipping through channels and stopped when he saw Matt on TV and did a spit take. "What the!?"
*Kari*
"Matt!?" Gatomon exclaimed as Kari fell from her chair. "Why are you being so loud?" She said as she rubbed her ears. "Look!" Gatomon pointed repeatedly at the screen. "Is that Matt!?" She screamed.
*Izzy*
"So that's what happened to Matt." Izzy said as he looked at his phone. "Wow." Tentomon whispered as guns went off.
*Sora*
"Why was Matt in prison?" Biyomon asked Sora, who looked just as dumbfounded. "I have no idea."
*Mimi*
'What the hell did he do?' Mimi thought as she put a ball python into a tank. "Whoa!"
*Splash*
"Are you okay Palmon?"
"Yeah just shocked a little." She joked as she had an eel on her.
*Ken*
"So that's where he went." Ken muttered as he lifted a bucket of slop and poured it into a trough for some pigs. "Wonder why he was in there." Wormmon spoke.
*Yolei*
"You gotta be kidding me!" Both Yolei and Hawkmon exclaimed with open mouths.
*Tai*
"That's the last place I ever expected him to be." Agumon said while Tai just shook his head. "Matt you're such a pain in the ass sometimes." He grunted. "And why is his beard as big as mine?"
*Mikey*
"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Everybody in the room heard T.K. scream loudly. They ran into the kitchen where he was staring at a TV with wide eyes. "Guys are you seeing this!?" Joe and Cody both looked at it with wide eyes. "No way!" They both exclaimed. "That is an awfully large beard." They all turned their heads slowly to Jeremy.
"What? That thing looks like a part of Leomon's mane!"
"True...but anyway, since Matt's escaped jail then we might have a larger fighting chance if Gabumon's with him!" Joe spoke.
"Why was he even in jail?"
"We don't know, but he was with Izzy and he told us before they disappeared was it was for a greater purpose." Cody said. 'Probably another one of his alien conspiracies.' He thought with a sigh before noticing they were two people short currently.
*Mikey*
"Ahh!" Nene hissed as Mikey gently cleaned out her wound, his hands and clothes very bloody from doing so. "Sorry Nene!" He said worryingly.
"I-It's alright Mikey." She whimpered a little with a tiny smile while she looked away from him. 'He's so kind…' She thought before wincing from the pain. 'I want to tell him but…he might not feel the same way. But if I don't tell him I'll never really know…WHY DOES THIS HAVE TO BE SO CONFUSING!?'
"Nene? Are you alright?" Mikey asked, bringing her out of her thoughts.
"Yes I'm ok." She said almost instantly with a faint blush showing on her milky skin.
"There, I'm done cleaning it." He said as he grabbed some bandage wraps. "This should be good for a while."
"T-Thank you." She stuttered quietly, looking away nervously. "Nene…what's wrong?" He asked.
"It's nothing!" She lied. "Nene please tell me." Mikey said softly, looking into her lavender eyes. She blushed and sighed sadly and nervously. 'Well…here goes nothing.'
"Alright, I'll tell you…" She then faced him, instantly grabbed his shoulder with her left hand and pulled him to her, pressing her white lips to his. Mikey's eyes widened as she deepened the kiss for a few seconds before pulling away, blushing madly. "Mikey…"
"Yeah Nene?" He stuttered. "I…kinda like you…I mean like-like." She muttered. "I have for a while." She spoke shyly. 'Is…is that what she wanted to tell me earlier?' He thought in surprise as her eyes watered up. Nene stood up to leave and almost immediately fell down. "Nene wait!" Mikey caught her. "I'm sorry Mikey." She said. "I'm just a little tired."
'Now he probably hates me.' She thought. "Nene listen." He started. "I…kinda like you too, in that kind of way." He stuttered. "Really?" She said. "Yeah, I may not really act like it…but that's because of Jeremy." He said with a chuckle, thinking of how he would react, and now he was worried that he was listening in. "Mikey?"
"Yeah?" They both stared into each other's eyes before slowly leaning closer to each other and locking lips again.
*Elsewhere*
Matt pulled out a switchblade, stared at his reflection in a gas station bathroom window, and swiftly slid it down his face, slicing off the thick beard on his face. Soon he finished and rubbed his face. "I felt like Leomon with that thing." He said with a chuckle as he cut his hair down to his shoulders and messed it up a bit, making it poof up. "Much better." He sighed before reaching into his pocket and fishing out a few quarters. "Now to find a payphone."
"I'm not sure about that Matt, remember the incident with Shellmon?"
"Oh yeah!" Matt then started laughing with Gabumon, remembering how Joe was acting that day when he heard a crash. He looked outside the bathroom and saw a large stray dog running away from the store owner. He went over to a phone with his hood up and inserted a few coins.
*T.K.*
T.K. was reading a book and watching Angie play with Patamon and Nabumon when his landline rang. He went over and answered it. "Hello?" He yawned.
"Hey little bro!"
"Matt!" He said excitedly, making Joe and Cody perk up. "Matt!?" They then crowded around the landline. "T.K. you alright?"
"Am I alright?! What about you! Since when the fuck were you in prison?!"
"That's a long story."
"I have nowhere to be!"
"Well I can't talk right now for too long, I need you to meet me somewhere."
"Can do bro, where should we meet?" He asked, neither side knowing they were in trouble. "The abandoned subway transit systems at noon tomorrow."
"Right."
"See ya little bro."
*The next day*
Mikey opened his eyes and saw he was lying in a bathtub…with Nene in his arms. "Wha?" He muttered before remembering what happened the night before. Mikey looked down and kissed her forehead gently. 'I guess this means…we're together?' He thought a little confused when she yawned.
*Elsewhere*
"Sir! I got a trace on the call made by the escaped prisoner!"
"What!? Where is it coming from!"
"Just outside Odaiba!"
"Send out all units! NOW!"
*Later*
"Everyone ready?" T.K. asked as they all got ready just as an explosion went off. "What was that?!" Angie spoke as she held Namumon in her arms.
"Something very bad!" Christopher spoke as they saw smoke rising. "What's going on?" Mikey said as he ran into the living room. A loud roar was heard from outside and made the ground shake. 'Oh no!' Joe thought in a panic as he ran towards the stairs.
"Guys! Let's go!" T.K. yelled as they all ran down the stairs after Joe with Mikey helping Nene move.
"It's Shellmon, isn't it Joe!?" Gomamon asked nervously. "Sadly."
'God I'm fucking sick of dealing with this thing!' He thought.
*Matt*
Matt ran through the dark and cold subway tunnels. 'Almost there!' He thought as he ran faster and tripped on a rock. "Gah!" This also made his backpack fly off. Normally he wouldn't care because it was just a backpack, but Gabumon was in it. "Whoa!"
"Gabumon!" He shouted as the bag landed in a deep puddle. He reached down and pulled him out. "T-T-Thanks Matt." He shivered. "No problem." Matt smiled as he kept going when a roar echoed through the stone tunnel. "Uh oh." They both froze while they looked down the tunnel and saw a black Shellmon rolling towards them. "Just great!" Matt said sarcastically as he started running.
*Mikey*
"You okay Nene?"
"Yeah I'm fine." She winced with a smile as she leaned on him, feeling a little awkward. "Hey look!" He whispered as the egg he was carrying for her cracked.
"It's hatching!" She gasped as Mikey handed her the egg when a large chunk of the shell came off, showing a single blue eye that looked like a UV light.
"Hi there." She whispered softly as the eye blinked a few times and the Digimon made a cheery sound that sounded very metallic, making Nene giggle as it pushed itself out of the shell and into her arm. Its entire body was a chrome sphere, save for the eye. "You're so cute!" Nene smiled as she and Mikey started moving again.
*City square*
Police cars and helicopters appeared, focusing on the destruction of the roads that were coming up and tearing apart as a loud roar was heard echoing from below them. "What's going on?!" One said confused.
"I don't know…wait! Someone's coming up from the subway!"
*Matt*
"What the hell is a Shellmon doing here!" Matt said angrily as he made it to the stairs. "Matt!" T.K. called out as he ran down the steps. "T.K.!" Matt wrapped his arms around his little brother, warm tears flooding his eyes and pouring down. "Great to see you again little bro." He said with a smile as Gabumon poked his head from the backpack. "I'm here too Gabumon!" Patamon cheered as Joe and Cody ran down. "Matt!" They both said as the roar got louder and the rolling shell appeared. "Great…who're they?"
"It's a long story bro." T.K. said.
*Elsewhere*
"Where did Mikey and Nene go?" Angie spoke, making the other two stop running. "She's right!" Jeremy exclaimed as he looked around frantically.
"Hey guys!" They turned around and saw them walking over with a small Digimon hovering over Nene's hands, letting out a strange humming sound. "Mama!" It shouted happily, making her smile while Shoutmon stared at it with wide eyes and an open mouth.
"Aww! How cute!" Angie cooed. "Namumon cute too! Namumon cute too!" Namumon complained as Angie tickled him. "Yes yes I know." She chuckled when Christopher noticed how Shoutmon was staring at the Digimon with Nene and Mikey. "Something wrong Shoutmon?" He asked. "Huh no nothing's wrong!" Shoutmon stuttered, his voice cracking.
*Later*
"Run!" Matt yelled as the Shellmon chased them up to street level, where police were. "FREEZE!" The cops shouted as they aimed their guns at them. "Oh boy!" Matt started sweating. "You are all under arrest!" He shouted just as Shellmon bowled over them, knocking them out. "Well that was easy." Joe muttered as the shell stopped spinning and the Digimon emerged and roared loudly. "Gabumon, you ready?"
"You know it! Matt!" He exclaimed.
Gabumon stood on a snowy mountainside as the wind blew fiercely. He could feel his coat fuse to his body and his teeth and claws get sharper when a blinding beam of moonlight hit him.
"Gabumon! Digivolve to…"
Lightning struck as his snout extended and he grew larger and stood on four legs.
"GARURUMON!" He howled as his eyes glowed yellow. "Let's go!" He roared.
"You ready pal?"
"You know it Matt." He said with a smirk as Shellmon roared while helicopters recorded the upcoming fight and broadcasted it. Garurumon charged forward as Shellmon shot out water. "Pressure-Plumb!" It screeched as Garurumon dodged the huge blast and opened his maw.
"HOWLING-BLASTER!" He shouted as he fired an icy laser that knocked Shellmon away and into a highway. "Whoa!" T.K. spoke excitedly as the others arrived. "Guys! What's going on?" Mikey asked as Shellmon roared.
"Never mind I know now." He then reached for his Fusion Loader. "UPLOAD! BEELZEMON! BALLISTAMON! STARMON! PIKMON'S! KNIGHTMON! DORULUMON! LEOMON!" All of the Digimon he called out appeared in a flash. "Let's go guys!" He said.
"FIST OF THE BEAST-KING!" Leomon shouted as his fist glowed and he threw an orange energy fist, making it explode in Shellmon's face.
"RAH!" Shellmon roared again and charged up another attack as Beelzemon striked. Shellmon roared out dark purple rings that surrounded him. "What's happening?"
"I…can't…move!" Beelzemon said as they covered his entire body and he started to shrink and yell in pain. "What's happening to him?!" Angie panicked.
"He's De-Digivolving!" Christopher said as Beelzemon's body changed, he reverted back into Reapmon and fell with a thud.
"Ouch." He groaned as he stood up with Shoutmon on his back flat as a pancake. "My everything hurts!" He cried as Reapmon stood up. "You okay Shoutmon?"
"Yes Archduke Ferdinand, I'd love some grilled cheese!" He said in a dazed voice!with swirls in his eyes. "Oh good, you're alright." Cutemon smiled evilly. "How'd Shellmon do this to him?" Jeremy questioned as Garurumon was thrown across the city. "Why you!" Garurumon growled as he crashed into an empty bus. "Matt I'm ready!" He grunted. "Right!"
Suddenly Matt's Digivice changed color and his Tag and Crest glowed as it blasted him.
"GARURUMON DIGIVOLVE TO…"
Garurumon felt and heard his bones realign as he now stood on two legs with a slightly hunched back with torn black jeans and a shoulder cover.
"WEREGARURUMON!" He howled as his teeth and claws extended, moonlight showing off his ripped 8-pack.
Shellmon roared and fired off the same black rings, but this time WereGarurumon broke free due to his new strength. "Nice try!" He roared before rushing the sea-based Digimon and tackling him at a blinding speed.
"Alright!" Matt exclaimed as WereGarurumon slammed Shellmon on the ground and made a massive crater.
*Tai*
"Oh…my…god. There's a discount on laundry detergent!" Tai exclaimed, reading a newspaper and not paying attention to the TV, making Agumon fall anime style. "TAI!"
"Huh yeah pal?"
Agumon grabbed the newspaper out of his hands and it made his eyes lock on the TV. "HOLY SHIT!" His jaw dropped.
*Sora*
"SHELLMON!" Sora exclaimed with Biyomon as WereGarurumon punched him in the face "YEAH GET 'EM WEREGARURUMON! A LEFT AND A RIGHT!" Biyomon said excitedly with a smile and a fire in her eyes.
*Mimi*
"SHOW 'EM WHO'S BOSS MATT!" Palmon exclaimed while Mini tended to her animals and wrapped up a birds injured leg.
*Davis*
"GIVE 'EM AN UPPERCUT!"
"THE JUGULAR! GO FOR THE JUGULAR!" Both Davis and Veemon were shouting at the TV excitedly and making bets.
*Ken*
"A Shellmon!? Here!?" Ken said in panic as Wormmon shivered. "I hope Matt will be ok." He said quietly.
*Yolei*
"Holy fuck!" Yolei exclaimed. "There's a sale on makeup!" Hawkmon then fell anime style. "Yolei! Stop looking at your phone!"
"Why?"
"Because there's a Digimon fight on TV!"
"Say what!?"
*Matt*
"Alright WereGarurumon!" Matt cheered as he threw him in the air. Shellmon roared as his shell suddenly cracked. Matt took a deep breath and realised a black gas that clouded everything as WereGarurumon started to shrink down quickly.
"Ugh What happened?" He groaned as Matt's vision cleared up.
"Matt?"
"Huh?" He looked up and saw Gabumon was back to normal and on his head. "What the hell?!" He said confused that he De-Digivolved. "Not good!" Nene said as her baby Nanomon hid inside her hair and Shellmon got back up and roared loudly, making Namumon whimper and curl up in Angie's arms. "Don't worry." She said softly.
"Namumon want to help!" He whimpered as Shellmon blasted them with water, sending them flying. "Namumon no!" Angie cried as they all flew away.
"Namumon help! Namumon help!" He said as he started to glow and more of the black mist covered the land. "Namumon...kill..."
Namumon's body started to get incased in black crystal and grew larger.
"NAMUMON! WARP DIGIVOLVE TO…"
The casing grew until it was five stories high and shattered, revealing a creature with cold grey skin, a frail thin body covered in all black leather clothing save for the hands and feet, both of which were clawed. Around its neck was a string with many skulls attached and on its head was a large elk skull with beady red eyes showing and its mouth, which was filled with pointed teeth and a pointed tongue.
"WENDIMON!" He roared, letting out an unholy screech as a huge blood red scythe formed in his hand.
