Sword Art Online: Unforeseen Content
Save File: Family
- June 25 2:49 PM Dark Ocean Unknown Location-
Darkness, that's all they could see in the strange seaside town. Lisbeth was trying in vain to use her teleport crystal to get them back to Aincrad. Which was working about as well as anyone could expect. Huckmon on the other hand was worried about something else.
"AH!" Huckmon bellowed horrified. He was now on top of Kirito, who fell to the ground due to the extreme weight.
"Get off me and calm down." Kirito demanded, pushing the lizard off.
"How can I, Daemon is here!" Huckmon shouted, stressing the Demon Lord's name. Everyone could tell, Huckmon was horrified of said Digimon.
"Just calm down." Asuna shouted, shaking off the end of the sleeping poison.
"Taiki, I'm scared." Silica admitted shyly. Taiki looked at the girl apologetically. Presently, he couldn't blame her from being so frightened. While Tai had never actually been to the Dark Ocean, all the stories he heard were more than enough to be worried.
"Well this bites," Klein groaned, kicking up some dust.
"Can't argue with you there." Agil said with a sigh, worrying he would never see Kathy again.
"Even I find this place depressing, and I'm a ghost." Soulmon brought up.
"Yeah, that's something we all want to hear." Lisbeth said dryly. No sooner than she said that, everyone heard a fear filled scream, on Taiki recognized.
"No, that's Kari!" Taiki shouted, horrified. It was here, flashes of the Black Cats flashed in front of Kirito's eyes. He dug his nails deep into his palms.
"Well, let's go." Kirito said firmly. Everyone agreed unanimously. After all, it was their best chance of getting back to Aincrad. Before anyone took another step, a mysterious icon appeared in front of the players. It looked like two skulls stacked on top of one another like an hourglass. It was joined by a timer going down, starting at 1 hour.
"Tell me I'm the only one with a death clock?" Agil asked confused and horrified. Every human reluctantly nodded. The Digimon knew what this meant all the same, certain areas in Aincrad had toxic traps, which would kill the player in certain amount of time, depending on the location.
"We have one hour to get out of the Dark Ocean, otherwise game over, permanently." Kirito brought up that last part grimly.
"Then what are we waiting for, let's go save Kari." Klein said with a weak smile. Everyone, including Soulmon nodded, following the scream's source. What they were unaware were several large black Divermon observed them from afar.
"We must tell Lord Dragomon the transfer was a success." One told the others. They nodded in unison. The fish men scurried off, intent on telling their master the good news.
The Data Defenders eventually found themselves not too far away from a large altar near a cliff side cave. Hiding behind a series of rocks, the team saw Kari tied to the altar in question, while being unconscious. Asuna held Taiki back as he tried to go after his sister.
"We need to strategize properly, in case you didn't notice, we have about thirty some fish people to go through." She told the boy. Reluctantly, Taiki agreed, although nobody could blame him.
"Their called Scubamon," Silica answered, looking at her digivice. "However that's all it says on them."
"Terrific," Agil said annoyed. It was here, he realized something. "Where's this master they kept going on about?"
It was then, a ghastly moan answered Agil's question. From the depths of the ocean, a large humanoid blue Digimon rose, leaving a massive wave in its wake. The monster's right arm was a large tentacle, while its left was several smaller one wrapped together by a series of chains. The same deal with the left arm could be said about both legs, except one was wrapped with a series of black belts and the other was a gold band. A traditional prayer bead necklace was hanging loosely off the beast's mighty neck. On the creature's back was a pair of orange wings. The monster's head alone looked like a giant squid, all by itself. Nervously, Taiki took a look at his digivice.
Dragomon
Level: Ultimate
Type: Sea Animal
Attribute: Virus
Attacks: Thousand Whip, Forbidden Trident, Tentacle Flapping, Tentacle Claw
"Uh, I'm guessing bad guy." Klein said nervously.
"Good guess." Falcomon commented, frightened of this monster.
"Minions, hear me well!" Dragomon hissed with a mighty authority. "For too long we have lived in the shadows of the digital world, living in the murky depths, while the wretched humans above enjoy their accursed light." Dragomon materialized a large orange trident, then slammed it into the beach, startling the Scubamon. "They are so obsessed with light, thinking it to be their savior. But with the Chosen one of Light in our possession, we can open a portal to the human world, and reign down upon the human filth!"
The legion of Scubamon cheered in victory as Dragomon raised his arms. "And to make matters simpler, her sibling and his allies are now amongst our dimension, to ensure the sacrifice goes on without a hitch."
"Sacrifice?" Taiki asked horrified.
"Well that explains the altar." Kirito said disturbed.
"Great so we have less than 50 minutes to save ourselves and the world." Klein said, starting to panic, double checking the clock.
"Then let's go save her already." Taiki ordered, drawing his sword.
"Leave the Scubamon to us, you go for Kari." Huckmon said firmly. All the Digimon, including Soulmon, nodded in agreement.
"I might as well, keeping with you guys is my best shot of getting out of here." Soulmon explained.
"Then you all better power up and take them down." Taiki said, revealing his Digivice.
AGUMON DIGIVOLVE TO GEOGREYMON
HUCKMON DIGIVOLVE TO BAOHUCKMON
RENAMON DIGIVOLVE TO KYUBIMON
FALCOMON DIGIVOLVE TO PECKMON
LALAMON DIGIVOLVE TO SUNFLOWMON
GAOMON DIGIVOLVE TO GAOGAMON
LUNAMON DIGIVOLVE TO LEKISMON
Dragomon turned his attention to the coming hoard. "Get them!" The Scubamon roared, brandishing several harpoons.
"This should even the odds, Tear Arrow!" Lekismon fired a frozen arrow at the cliff, causing it to fall, landing on several Scubamon.
"Black Spike!" The Scubamon fired their harpoons at the Digimon in question.
"Necro Dance/ Cactus Tail/ Kunai Wing/ Spiral Blow!" Gaogamon's tornado breath amplified the other attacks, sending the harpoons back. When the attacks hit, the fish men scattered everywhere.
"MEGA FLAME!" GeoGreymon fired a wave of flames, incinerating the army.
"DRAGON WHEEL / FIF CROSS!" Kyubimon and BaoHuckmon quickly plowed through the oncoming army.
"Try this, Tentacle Flapping!" A dark mist of power ran over the defender's Digimon as Dragomon flapped his wings. The resulting attack sent them flying.
"Well that hurt." Gaogamon groaned in pain.
"He is Ultimate Leveled, while we are presently champion leveled." Lekismon reminded, slowly getting up.
"But still, it's all eight of us against one of him, we can beat him together!" BaoHuckmon said, determined to win.
"Then let's prove you right." GeoGreymon said firmly, "ALL TOGETHER!"
"FORBIDDEN TRIDANT!" Dragomon tossed his weapon at the charging Champions. The team managed to dodge the attack, as GeoGreymon ran ahead.
"MEGA VOLCANO!" With his body turning red, GeoGreymon fired a molten fireball at Dragomon.
"Thousand Whip!" Using his multi-tentacle arm, Dragomon not only whipped the attack away, but also slammed into GeoGreymon.
"Kodengeki!" Kyubimon was covered in electricity, and tried to slam into Dragomon. Key word being tried, as Dragomon wrapped up Kyubimon and tossed her aside.
"Dash Double Claw / Burning Spiral/ Moon Night Kick!" Gaogamon, Peckmon, and Lekismon leapt into the air and tried to strike down Dragomon.
However they were too late, as Dragomon spun around, whipping them to the side.
"Their getting beat!" Klein shouted horrified. Kirito stopped midway, seeing what was going on. This time, Sachi appeared before him.
"Go on ahead, I'm going after them, Taiki keep on your sister." Kirito ordered, quickly going through his player menu.
"Kirito what are you doing?" Asuna asked confused, however she quickly shouted in fear seeing Dragomon approaching. Just as the tentacle approached, Kirito delivered a mighty x-shaped slash. Much to the defender's surprise, Kirito had Elucidator in one hand, and Dark Repuslor in the other.
"AH!" Dragomon screamed in pain, taking several steps back.
"How in the sweet name in hell?" Klein asked confused.
"Go, I'll hold him off." Kirito ordered determined. Taiki stopped his movement, and pulled out a healing crystal and put it on Phoenix Flare. The blade lit up and ignited with flames.
"We have a dead line, Kari doesn't." Taiki said firmly, then turned to the others. "And I trust all of you to save her." No one could deny the determination in his tone. With Asuna leading the charge, everyone headed to the altar to save Kari.
"So you explain while you can." Taiki ordered.
"I was looking through my skill set and found dual wield, nothing more to say." Kirito said firmly as Dragomon got back up.
"You humans dare to strike me!" Dragomon bellowed enraged. "Thousand Wh-AH!" That was all Dragomon got to as BaoHuckmon and Gaogamon dug their teeth into the squid man's legs.
"It's just another boss battle," Kirito told himself, "Just with a lot more on the line." Both Kirito and Taiki ran off and jumped, slashing Dragomon in the chest.
"You actually wounded me?" Dragomon demanded furious.
"SUNSHINE BEAM!" Sunflowmon managed to hit Dragomon right between his wings.
"End Trance/ Burning Spiral!" Both Soulmon and Falcomon managed to strike Dragomon hard.
"Fox-Tail Inferno / Moon Night Bomb." The attacks nailed Dragomon in the chest.
"Did we get him?" Taiki asked hopefully. His answer was Dragomon slowly getting up, looking rather annoyed.
"Uh, we pissed him off, that's something." Taiki offered.
"Yeah, but that's not always good." Kirito said, turning heel and running from the squid.
"Wait up!" Taiki panicked running after Kirito.
"Kazuto, Taiki!" BaoHuckmon screamed in horror. The Digimon ran as fast as his legs could move, with his front claws lit up. "Fif Cross!" The attack struck Dragomon's right leg, as the duo of humans leapt off the rocks.
"Take this, Starburst Stream!" Kirito swung his glowing swords around, moving his body in perfect harmony, delivering a devastating 16 hit combo.
"Burning Strait!" Taiki declared, as a phoenix shaped fire ball covered his sword, stabbing Dragomon in the chest.
"Got to love the weapon exclusive moves." Taiki said as he landed.
"No I don't, Forbidden Trident!" Dragomon stabbed his weapon into the ground, causing a minor shake, which pushed the duo to the side.
"Well that hurt." Kirito groaned, slowly falling unconscious, as did Taiki.
"Hang on guys!" The Digimon rushed to their aid. Only it was here, Dragomon turned to them again. "Tentacle Flapping!" Another wave of energy rushed over the Digimon, knocking them all out. With this blast, GeoGreymon, BaoHuckmon, and Soulmon were the only ones not reverted back to their rookie forms.
"Alright kiddo, up and at 'em." Agil said, lifting Kari onto his shoulders.
"Who are you?" Kari asked, slightly regaining consciousness.
"Short version, we're friends with your big brother." Asuna said with a smile.
"And soon you shall join the others, Thousand Whip!" Dragomon slammed his attack onto the humans, wrapping them up.
"Hands off calamari!" Lisbeth bellowed, struggling against the tentacle's grip.
"Ha, ha, ha!" The monster cackled, "You can't stop what's coming!"
Taiki woke up, seeing himself in the hospital. "What the?" He asked confused. Slowly, he got off his seat, seeing a dark hallway. Strangely, Tai was compelled to follow it. Slowly, he gasped, remembering it as the day Kari was admitted to the hospital because of his stupidity. Before him, he saw the scene where Yuuko slapped him.
"God, I could never forget this." Taiki said sadly, rubbing his cheek and remembering the pain.
"But there are days you would like to, correct?" An ethereal voice asked curiously. Taiki looked to see his digivice was now glowing a faint burning orange.
"Of course I would, but dwelling on the past won't change anything." Taiki pointed out.
"Your past can do more than hold you back, it can give you a new resolve." The voice said, assuring, as if it was trying to teach Tai something. "Do you want others to suffer the same way Kari did, and to make your comrades feel as the way you did?"
It was an honest question, one Taiki didn't know the answer to. He had just run away from his problems by entering Sword Art Online all those years ago, taking six others into his war.
Kirito meanwhile saw himself a few days after the Moonlit Black Cats were killed, standing on the edge of Aincrad, ready to jump. Truth be told, he still felt like doing this. After the whole thing at Shadow Caverns, Kirito heavily considered returning here.
"Ending your life, not a wise move." The same ethereal voice talking to Taiki said. "What about those who care for you?" Images of Suguha, Asuna, Midori, Huckmon, and the others flashed before him. Kazuto felt his grip tighten in his hand.
"You too huh?" Taiki asked rhetorically. Kirito turned to see Taiki clad in a green high school uniform, while he himself was clad in his usual black one.
"I screwed up, no questions asked," Taiki said with a sigh. "I almost killed Kari when she was four."
"What?" Kirito asked confused.
"She was sick one day, but I didn't know any better, so I took her out to play some soccer, where she collapsed on the field." Tai began his tale. "Mom, damn I never saw her so pissed off before."
"That was different, you couldn't have known what could have happened." Kazuto shot back.
"It still haunts me, in fact during our first trip, she almost died again." Kazuto looked shocked, seeing Tai's serious expression. "Yeah, and I kept pushing myself and everyone else until she got better, didn't help Machinedramon was hot on our tails."
"How did you get through that?" Kirito asked confused.
"Easy, I had my friends backing me up, and so do you." Tai said, pointing behind seeing the other Data Defenders.
"So, you want to take Dragomon out for good or what?" Tai asked holding out his hand.
"Together!" Kirito said with a smile, accepting it.
Kirito and Taiki woke up, startling Dragomon. It was here, their digivices lit up, giving off a warm and inviting glow. The results gave color to the Dark Ocean, forcing Dragomon to drop the other defenders. The Digimon woke up revitalized, looking in awe at the display.
"What's this light?" Dragomon demanded.
"Short version sushi breath?" Kirito asked with a smirk.
"IT'S TIME TO DIGIVOLVE!" Both Taiki and Kirito declared, as their partners roared in agreement, getting up. As this happened, Taiki's Digivice became a burning red, while Kirito's became a lustrous onyx.
GEOGREYMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TO RIZEGREYMON
BAOHUCKMON MATRIX DIGIVOLVE TO SAVIOR HUCKMON
Dragomon was pushed back at the sheer force of the shockwave, as two new Digimon took to the area. The first was essentially GeoGreymon's version of MetalGreymon. Like the previous form, he had a metal helmet, red hairs on his neck, chest armor, wings, and a prosthetic left arm. However that was where the similarities stopped. The red and white chest armor covered all of RizeGreymon's upper torso with the jet propelled wings with three cannons on each wing. On the center of this armor was a blue energy circle. Instead of a claw, RizeGreymon had a massive revolver for a left arm.
SaviorHuckmon was essentially a humanoid BaoHuckmon. What surprised everyone was he could stand on his hind legs, despite the fact they were black blades. On the back of each wrist was a sharp red sword. His tail doubled in length and was clearly ready to slice Dragomon open. On his chest was a large glowing blue crystal.
"Now that is awesome!" Asuna declared happily. Kari, who barely regained consciousness couldn't help but smile.
"Now that's more like it!" Klein said with a smile, with Agil nodding in agreement. Both Lisbeth and Silica took a look at the two titans.
RizeGreymon
Level: Ultimate
Type: Cyborg
Attribute: Vaccine
Attacks: Trident Revolver, Rising Destroyer, Solid Strike, Crack Bullet
SaviorHuckmon
Level: Ultimate
Type: Dragon Man
Attribute: Data
Attacks: Rage Streit, Meteor Flame, Trident Saber
"So, you want first crack at him?" RizeGreymon asked SaviorHuckmon.
"Let me put it to you this way, Meteor Flame!" With the force and power of a machine gun, SaviorHuckmon fired a barrage of fireballs right into Dragomon's chest. The attack slammed Dragomon into the cliffs.
"My turn, Rising Destroyer!" A panel opened up on RizeGreymon's armor, revealing another pair of blasters. The ones on his wings joined in, firing an assortment of energy beams. Dragomon screamed in pain as the attacks hit.
"No way am I missing this!" Taiki shouted, slashing Dragomon, who stumbled against the attack. Opening his eyes, Dragomon was shocked to see Asuna and Agil in front of him. Agil slammed his hammer into Dragomon's face, while Asuna stabbed him furiously.
"You, can't defeat me!" Dragomon declared.
"Funny, it looks like we already are, TRIDENT REVOLVER!" GeoGreymon fired three bullets from his revolver arm. The attack went right through Dragomon's chest.
"That looks satisfying." Lunamon admitted. Silica helped her partner and the other's too their feet, while Pina delivered his healing breath. Lisbeth meanwhile moved Kari to a safer spot.
Kirito ran at Dragomon, both swords ready. At the same time, SaviorHuckmon ran up with incredible speeds, his tail and wrist blades glowing brilliantly. "Starburst Stream/Trident Saber!" Spinning around with grace and power, Kirito and SaviorHuckmon dealt the killing blow.
"DAMN YOU ALL!" Dragomon declared as he was deleted.
"We won!" Asuna shouted victoriously, "With only," Asuna checked her clock to see. "Five minutes left?"
"Oh, right." Taiki said nervously. "I forgot time moves faster in the Digital World, I guess the same applies here."
"I'll kill you later." Asuna said, seeing a portal leading towards Aincrad and the real world open up.
"We have a chance to go home." Silica said, then looked worried. "But we can't, everyone in Aincrad needs us."
"Yeah, we have one hell of a mess to clean up." Agil agreed.
"I can take the human back for you, hopefully I can get back to the Digital World from there." Soulmon offered.
"Thanks man, you're alright." Taiki said with a smile. "Alright, everyone else on RizeGreymon, we're going back to Aincrad."
The Defenders loaded themselves onto the cyborg, while Taiki ran over to hug Kari. "See you when I wake up kiddo." He smiled. The two teams parted ways, as the doorways between dimensions closed.
Seeing the massive Cyborg land near his headquarters, Heathcliff smirked victoriously.
-Real World, Same Time-
Both the Digidestined and Suguha arrived at the beach, seeing Kari and Soulmon arrive.
"Kari, you're ok!" Ken rushed over to his girlfriend. "What happened?"
"Tai, and his new friends saved me." Kari admitted with a weak smile.
"Yeah, I can vouch for that." Soulmon said with a smile.
"Is no one else going to explain the living bedsheet?" Suguha demanded horrified.
-Aincrad 4:56 PM-
"Lord Dragomon is dead!" Ranamon shouted hysterically.
"Calm down, throwing a fit isn't going to help." PoH ordered.
"No matter, deals off hum-AH!" With that Ranamon was deleted by the cloaked figure behind her.
"So, you want to make a real difference?" He asked holding up a new dark digivice. PoH gave a wicked smirk at that.
And here we go, this chapter is done. Now I apologize if this seems rushed, but I wanted to do a few extra updates for the Holiday Season. Anyways before I go, I have a little favor to ask my fans: A few months back I made a story called Project Springboard. Basically it's a variety of one shots to stories I would love to see up and about. If it isn't too much trouble, could you all take a look when you get a chance? Fair warning, stories 3 and four are M-rated for good reason.
So, leave a review and I'll see you next time.
