I do not own digimon or any of its characters.
Takato slowly opens his eyes. After they battled Alphamon, he escaped trough a portal which became unstable and sucked them in. He looks around his environment and notices a similar place.
"We're in the shed where I used to hide Guilmon!" he realizes.
He looks next to him where he finds all the digimon in their in-training forms, even Guilmon and Terriermon, who never reverted back this far. The only 3 digimon that remained on the rookie level are Wormmon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon as they didn't actively fight Alphamon. Then, he notices something. Calumon is missing! He left it at Izzys office when they went to stop Alphamon. He innerly panics since he doesn't know how to go back to the other world but he decides to keep it to himself for now.
Takato steps outside the shed where he sees something horrible. Everywhere in the park and in the city he can see towers with a dark grey color. After him, Matt steps out of the shed with Tsunomon in his arms. "What the... Black towers? Here? And why?"
Ken follows after him. "No, those aren't black towers, they are dark grey not black. Weird." He notices. "Where are we anyway?"
"This is the world I come from" Takato replies "Those towers aren't normal though."
Suddenly a loud noise of footsteps comes from their left which causes everyone else to come out of the shed with their parter digumon in their arms. 5 Blackgrowlmon and 1 Blackwargrowlmon head for the small shed. The Blackwargrowlmon notices the humans standing in front of the shed. "Blackgrowlmon, attack!" he shouts.
The Blackgrowlmon charge into the humans.
"Quick Koromon, digivolve!" Tai shouts.
"I can't, I'm still too weak" it replies.
In that moment Worrmon, Hawkmon and Armadillomon jump in front of everyone.
"We didn't actively fight Alphamon, we have enough energy to handle them!" Armadillomon says.
[Worrmon digivolve to... Stingmon]
"Huh, it seems like the towers don't stop regular digivolutions" Izzy notices.
[Hawkmon armor digivolve to... Shurimon]
[Armadillomon armor digivolve to... Digmon]
Stingmon flies up into the air where it attacks one of the Blackgrowlmon. The Blackgrowlmon blocks the attack with its arm but the attack exposes a dark grey spot in his arm.
"The Blackgrowlmon are made out of the towers!" Stingmon shouts to the others. Another Blackgrowlmon rushes over to Stingmon to support his ally.
Meanwhile, Shurimon bounces around one of the Blackgrowlmon and manages to stab its shurikens into one of the Blackgrowlmons backs. The Blackgrowlmons turns into black material which explodes right after.
Digmon dug a hole below the Blackgrowlmon to ambush it from behind. He comes up on the surface behind it and shoots his drills into Blackgrowlmons back, instantaneously destroying it.
"Incompetent fools, looks like I have to deal with it myself!" Blackwargrowlmon, who was standing further behind, says.
He orders the third Blackgrowlmon to attack Stingmon who now has to deal with 3 Blackgrowlmon. Digmon and Shurimon hurry to support him. They shot their drills and shurikens into two of the three Blackgrowlmon. Stingmon finishes the last one of using his spiking strike. Now only the Blackwargrowlmon is left. He angrily charges at the 3 digimon and fires the atomic blaster on his chest. Digmon and Shurimon get knocked out by the blast and revert back to their rookie forms. Blackwargrowlmon extends the blades on his wrists and attempts to attack Stingmon. Stingmon grabs Blackgrowlmons hands and holds of the attack but Blackgrowlmons superior muscles push him back further and further.
"Lightning blade!" "VAROOMA BOOMERANG!"
A blade made out of energy and a red V shaped boomerang hit Blackwargrowlmon making it turn into data. Takato and the others look behind them and see 4 figures. Andromon and Kazu as well as 2 unknown figures. The digimon that threw the boomerang has a head resembling Omnimons, two heads on his shoulders, a chest and arms like that of an action figure and legs that look like the legs of a lion or a similar creature. In addition to that he wears a cape. In his hands he holds a sword and a shield. Takato uses his D-Power for further details.
"ShoutmonX4K, Level Ultimate" he reads.
A human stands next to X4K. He has spiky hair, goggles and a white and red shirt with a crown on it.
"Takato, Henry and whoever the rest of you are, come with us quick!" Kazu shouts as he waves into his direction with his hands.
Yolei and Cody pick up the injured Hawkmon and Armadillomon and run after the others. The group runs trough the city in an unknown direction. Seeing his hometown after being in an alternate world for a few weeks fills Takaoto with a feeling he can't really describe, the closest description being a weird Form of nostalgia. He catches up to Kazu. "Hey, is that Andromon there..." Takato can't finish his question before Kazu already answers it.
"Yep, it's Guardromon. I borrowed Rika's blue card to make him digivolve. The more important question is: Where were we're you for the past week and who are those people?"
"It's complicated" Takato replies "I'll explain it when we get to where we are going. But who is that guy with the digimon that looks like someone took several parts of toys and put them together? He hasn't spoken a word yet. What are all these weird towers doing here, and why did dark versions of Guilmon attack us?"
"Also complicated, I'll explain everything later."
The group arrives at their destination but everyone is a bit confused to stand in front of... a school. Not just any school, Takato's school. As expected, Andromon degenerates back to Guardromon upon entering school grounds but Shoutmonx4k suddenly splits up into a group of digimon. A small red dragon with headphones with crowns on it, a bulky robot with a speaker on his chest, a Sabertooth tiger with drills on his tail and forehead, a Starmon, several small silver digimon, a Knightmon and a group of Pawnchessmon. Suddenly every one of them except the red one dissapears into a red device the unknown boy is holding.
"Interesting..." Izzy mumbles "it seems like the digimon was a fusion of several smaller digimon. The red one must be the main component..."
The group enters the building where Kenta, Rika, Renamon and MarineAngemon are waiting for him. Upon seeing Takato enter the room, Rika slaps him.
"Where have you been this whole week? First you and Henry go missing and everyone is looking for you, then those Digimon that look just like Guilmons digivolutions but in black invade the city and put up all those towers, and now you just show up like nothing happened?"
"Wait, let us explain!" Henry says. "Takato went missing so I decided to look for him. I found a weird red portal in Guilmons old hideout that Calumon jumped into, so Terriermon followed him and I followed Teriiermon. We found ourselves in this different world where we met the guys behind us and Takato was with them. He used the same portal after Guilmon accidentally fell into it. There was no way back so we stayed with them and helped them with the problems in their world. We fought an Alphamon who opened a portal to flee. The portal beqame unstable and we got sucked in. Now we are back here. Now please explain to us what happened here while we were gone."
"3 days ago, ChaosGallantmon, a dark version of Gallantmon came here trough a portal just like the one you described. He also brought an army of BlackGrowlmon and a bunch of Blackwargrowlmon as their commanders. Me and Renamon tried to take him down alone but for some reason we can't digivolve to the Mega level so we were helpless against ChaosGallantmons overwhelming forces. The whole city was evacuated, only we remained to fight. 1 day after the invasion this guy here appeared out of nowhere" She points at the boy who commanded Shoutmon X4K. "His name is Mikey Kudo. He wanted to help but his partner, Shoutmon, couldn't digivolve either. However, the weird thing in his hand, he called it a xros loader, has the ability to make digimon fuse together. But without the proper digimon he can't go beyond the ultimate level either." Rika explains.
At this moment Mikey speaks "Takato, do you remember knowing Tai, Davis and Marcus before you met?"
"N-No why should I?" Takato answers.
"Then it is like Bagramon said" Mikey mumbles "you don't remember anything about the fight with Quartzmon. In that case let me introduce myself. I'm Mikey Kudo and I come from another world. All of you actually fought alongside me and and my friends once, but you apparently don't remember anything about it. But that's not the point now. The point is that I know something about the foe you are facing. It's an extremely strong digimon that uses an army of clockmon to retrieve tools and evil digimon from different worlds and times to stop you since you are a danger to it."
"What you are telling us is hard to believe. Do you have any evidence to prove what you are saying? And how do you know all this information?" Izzy asks.
"After I was thrown into this world I tried to spy on ChaosGallantmon. He talked about his plans with some mysterious figure. He eventually discovered us and almost defeated us before we were able to flee. But with your help we can defeat him."
"But how?" Matt asks "You say this Chaosgallantmon guy is on the Mega level and he has an army of ultimate and champion digimon at his disposal. If we can't reach the Mega level we barely have enough fighting strength."
"Its the black towers" Ken comments "Or rather grey towers. It seems like the towers don't have the full power of a normal black tower, which would explain the fact that we can digivolve but not past Ultimate, as well as the fact that they are grey."
"Allright, let's put those towers down and kick these guys asses!" Marcus says in a motivating tone.
"Tommorow" Henry adds "our digimon didn't eat a thing after the battle against Alphamon. They need rest and something to eat."
"Takatos parents baked plenty of bread before they evacuated the city along with everyone else. We had enough for us 4 but now we are 18 people including a digimon each. The smaller digimon like Marineangemon and Terriermon probably won't eat much but the bigger ones like Guilmon..." Kenta says.
"In that case we have a problem, you haven't seen Agumon eat yet..." Tai comments.
"Pfff... If you thing your Agumon eats a lot you should see mine" Marcus says.
"I got it! Reload, Monitamon" Mikey says as 3 small Digimon with TVs as their heads appear from his Xros loader. "A friend of mine gave me three of her Monitamon recently." he explains. "Monitamon, see if you can find a supermarket nearby and get as much food here as possible. And try not to get caught by the Blackgrowlmon."
The Monitamon nod and dissapear. About half an hour later they are back with their arms full of groceries. Koromon jumps from a table,quickly grabs a whole pack of chocolate bars with his mouth and eats them, with the wrapper still on.
[Koromon digivolve to Agumon]
Agumon gets smacked on the head by Tai.
"After all those years shouldn't, you have learned that you have to remove the wrapper first?"
"I know but I was reeeaaaaly hungry."
"Can we make scrambled eggs?" Marcus' Koromon asks.
"And bake Guilmon bread!" Gigimon, Guilmons in-training Form, adds.
The group starts to cook in the school's kitchen and almost forget that the city was invaded my Blackgrowlmons. After everything is finished the digimon, and Marcus, pounce on the food like they hadn't eaten for days. While eating, some of them even digivolved without noticing. Suddenly, a Shockwave hits the entire building and the group storms outside where an army of Blackgrowlmons and about 5 Blackwargrowlmon stand.
Tai and Agumon stare at each other in determination.
[Agumon digivolve to... Greymon]
"Greymon?" Mikey asks in surprise "he looks different from Christopher's greymon, also wasn't his digivolved form Wargreymon?"
Tai, who overheard Mikeys mumbling explains "Greymon is only his first stage of digivolution, we can't reach Wargreymon because of the towers."
Greymon shoots a ball of fire into the crowd of Blackgrowlmon who get blown back but don't get hurt much by the heat because of their scaly skin.
"Allright, now it's our turn!" Marcus shouts as he jumps up in the air and hits one of the Blackgrowlmon right in the face. His hand begins to glow with energy which he channels into his digivice.
[Agumon digivolve to... Geogreymon]
"Ooh a spiky greymon huh?" Tai says mockingly.
"This one looks more like the Greymon I know" Mikey notices "but the color doesn't match."
"Mega Flame!" "Nova Blast!"
Two powerful blasts of fire hit the Blackgrowlmon, which destroys a few of them. They react aggressively and prepare to shoot a volley of Fireballs at everyone. The Blackwargrowlmon in the back also charge the lasers in their chests.
"Time to rise up the defense!" Izzy exclaims.
[Tentomon digivolve to... Kabuterimon digivolve to... Megakabuterimon]
"Reload, Knightmon, Pawnchessmon!"
[Gomamon digivolve to... Ikakumon digivolve to... Zudomon]
[Renamon digivolve to... Kyubimon digivolve to... Taomon]
Knightmon and Pawnchessmon Form a shield while Zudomon and Megakabuterimon use their powerful defensive backs to block the attacks on the right and on the left. Taomon uses its magic barrier to strengthen the shield. Everyone gets behind the shield just before the volley of fire hits them. The laser beams shot by the Blackwargrowlmon break trough Taomons shield but lose all of their energy while doing so. The volley of fire from the Blackgrowlmon follows right after but Knightmon shield and the backs of Megakabuterimon and Zudomon block the attack.
"Okay, time to strike back!" Shoutmon shouts.
[Shoutmon, Ballistamon, Dorulumon, Starmon, Pickmon digixros to... ShoutmonX4]
"Reload, Beelzemon!"
"Death the Cannon!"
Rika stares at Mikey in disbelief. "You had a Mega level digimon in there the whole Time? What's do you not have in that thing?"
"U-uh Beelzemon is on the Mega level? Sorry, I'm just figuring this whole level thing out. Apparently Beelzemon is a lot stronger in this world then he is in my world..." Mikey responds a bit confused.
"I think now it's time to pull out the big guns" Davis says confidentially.
[V-mon digivolve to... XV-mon digivolve to... Paildramon]
Henry also joins in on the arms race.
[Terriermon digivolve to... Gargomon digivolve to... Rapidmon]
"Don't forget us!" Kazu shouts from Guardromons shoulder. "Uh, Takato could I borrow your blue card real quick?"
[Guardromon digivolve to... Andromon]
Kazu throws the card back to Takato who also uses it.
[Guilmon digivolve to... Growlmon digivolve to... Wargrowlmon]
"How about you mess with one of your own kind!" the red cyborg dinosaur shouts.
"Hey Geogreymon, we don't want to be behind don't we?" Marcus asks. Geogreymon simply nods.
[Geogreymon digivolve to... Rizegreymon]
In reaction to that Tai shouts "Greymon you too!"
[Greymon digivolve to... MetalGreymon]
"Now that the big ground fighters are up, how about we give some air support?" TK asks Patamon.
[Patamon digivolve to... Angemon]
Angemon flys up in the air along with Beelzemon. Upon seeing Angemon, old memorys haunt Beelzemon, the day where he struck his own comrade Angemon down in self defense... One of the Blackwargrowlmon uses this moment of distraction to shokt Beelzemon with a beam of energy. The beam hits his chest and Beelzemon falls on the ground.
"Quick, come back into the xros loader, we don't want Mervamon to worry" Mikey says teasingly which causes Beelzemon to smile before he vanishes into the xros loader.
"TK, make me digivolve again, I have an idea!" Angemon shouts from the sky.
[Angemon digivolve to... MagnaAngemon]
"Heavens Gate! Push the Blackwargrowlmon and Blackgrowlmon into the gate!"
Magnaangemon opens a round gate to a weird different dimension.
"Giga blaster!" "Trident revolver!" "Desperado Blaster!" "VAROOMA BOOMERANG!" "Rapid fire!" "Atomic blaster!" "Horn buster!" "Vulcans hammer!"
The combined force of all the digimon creates a Shockwave that pushes all of the Blackgrowlmon and Blackwargrowlmon into the gate, which MangaAngemon closes. At this moment a figure in black armor descends from the sky.
"So you have defeated a portion of my army, impressive..." the figure says with a distorted deep voice.
Takato doesn't even need to look at his D-Power to realise who is standing in front of them, the ominous Chaosgallantmon, leader of the army that invaded the city.
"Chaos crusher..."
Chaosgallantmon uses his shield to create a dark blast of energy. Taomon creates a barrier but it bursts upon impact with the beam. The beam knocks almost all of the digimon onto wall. Suddenly Mikey realizes something. He has 3 heavily armed dinosaurs...
"Tai, Marcus, Takato I have an idea but you have to trust me."
"You saved us earlier today, you have my trust" Tai answers.
"You seem to be a good fighter, I'll trust in you too." Marcus adds.
"If they trust you I will too" Takato says.
Mikey nods and prepares to use his xros loader.
[MetalGreymon, Wargrowlmon, Rizegreymon, digixros to... MetalGreymonX3]
A new MetalGreymon is born. It combines elements from the 3 battle dinosaurs. It has MetalGreymon mettalic left arm, his metallic horn and Rizegreymons muscular bodystructure. On his right arm he has Rizegreymons revolver. He has Wargrowlmons chest weaponry and Rizegreymons wings. He also has Wargrowlmons metallic jaw.
Izzy analyzes the data of the new digimon that was just born due to Mikeys Digixros. "MetalGreymonX3, Level Mega" he reads. "They reached the Mega level without digivolution! That means... Hey Mikey? Can you do that again with some other digimon?"
Mikey nods and thinks of new combinations while MetalGreymonX3 starts to attack. He uses his revolver and reinforces the blast with his Atomic blaster. Chaosgallantmon reveals his Lance and says "Impressive, but you will lose in a swordfight with such uncivilized attacks."
He uses his lance to attack MetalGreymonX3s weak point, missing close weaponry. But Mikey already has a plan. "I need something that can fly!" he says.
"Looks like our job" Sora says.
[Biyomon digivolve to... Birdramon digivolve to... Garudamon]
"Perfect."
[ShoutmonX4, Garudamon digixros to... ShoutmonX5G]
Shoutmon turns into his X5 version but instead of the jet engine from Sparrowmon he grows Garudamons wings.
"YOU MEAN A SWORD LIKE THIS?" Shoutmon asks while blocking Chaosgallantmons Lance.
"ShoutmonX5G, Level Mega" Izzy reads again.
In the background Mikey plans a third digixros.
"I need a muscular digimon, preferably with an upright build!"
"You heard that Gabumon?" Matt asks "time for Weregarurumon"
[Gabumon digivolve to... Garurumon digivolve to... Weregarurumon]
"That'll do perfectly" Mikey says.
[Weregarurumon, Rapidmon, Paildramon, Deputymon digixros to... Rapidgarurumon]
Rapidgarurumon replaces Weregarurumons left arm with on of Rapidmons arms. He also gains Paildramons lower machine guns. He wears a belt with ammo in it around his chest.
"Rapidgarurumon, Level Mega" Izzy ready for a third time.
Now, MetalGreymonX3 shoots a blast from the atomic blaster in his chest. He reinforces the Blast with the revolver. He also shoots his metallic claw into the blast which begins to glow hot. Chaosgallantmons blocks the attack with his shield but the shield starts to Crack. Rapidgarurumon fires a rapid fire attack from Paildramons machine guns and the arm he got from Rapidmon. This attack leaves his defense open which gives X5G an opportunity to strike past his shield. Chaosgallantmons armor begins to crack at the spot where he was hit. The crack shows some scaled skin but the armor immediately closes.
"This was just a test" Chaosgallantmon says in his distorted voice "I won't play so nice next time."
With that Chaosgallantmon flies back where he came from and the digimon return to their rookie forms.
The first thing the Agumon say after their digixros opens is "Can we eat something again?"
Aurhors notes: Whew, this was my longest chapter so far. I want to clarify some things here. I watched all seasons in the German dub which is basically just a translation from the Japanese. I use the terms from the dub in this fic because that's what most English speaking people probably watched. To xros wars: It was a bit difficult to balance the xros wars characters into this fic but I think I have a level for everyone based on Digimon they fought and how they were balanced in other media like games. Shoutmon: Rookie, Shoutmon (King):Champion, Ballistamon: Champion, Dorulomon: Champion, X2: High tier champion, X3&4: Ultimate, X5 and beyond: Mega, Omnishoutmon: Mega, Mailbirdramon: High tier champion, Deckergreymon: Mega, Zeekgreymon: Mega, Sparrowmon: Champion. I think those were all the xros wars exclusive Digimon. If any of you disagree with the power leveling please let me know in a review including a reason why the power level is to high/low. MetalGreymon 3, Rapidgarurumon and ShoutmonX5G are kinda OC characters but also not really because a digixros between any Digimon is possible but of course it's impossible to show every combination in the Anime or Manga, so I made a design and abilities for those combinations up. Anyways, reviews are always welcome, especially for this chapter. Thanks for reading.
