Legion Of Cosmic Heroes
Originally part of the Starshine Festival arc. But I figured it deserved it's own solo chapter. Kudo's and digital cookies who catch the five references to classic 80's cartoons.
Chapter 9: Starshine Boss Fight, A New Light!:
Demiyah was standing with the Legionaires around the fountain at the park. They were waiting for Demiyah's family members so they could have a picnic together. The Digidestined were going to be there too. Taichi openly apologized for being ignorant of Inoue's true actions. It was horrifying to discover the fact Inoue cast illusions and mind control spells to make the second generation with the exception of Ken, who oddly had the Digimon Emperor protecting his mind, to delete Veemon. Kari wanted to puke. TK had just shut down as did Cody. Demiyah assured them Inoue was at fault not them. But she kept feeling an odd energy in the air of late. One she was certain she felt before.
Everyone heard loud screaming and explosions coming from the middle of the fair location. They all saw a black inky mass swirlingto take form. It was Devimon. But Demiyah could tell he wasn't the same as before. For one he had eight bat wings intead of two. Two he was taller than before. Lastly he looked half cybernetic. He said in a distorted like voice, "I am NightmareDevimon! Fall to the Darkness foolish organics!"
(Insert song: The Touch by Stan Bush)
Amy asked in a panic, "Princess what do we do?!" Demiyah said in a firm and no nonsense tone, "Create an eight point barrier around the city. put as much power as you possibly can into it." Rayanne said, "Of course Princess. But what about you?" Demiyah clutched her Sprit Moon compact and her Scouts as well as the Rangers, Beetleborgs, and the varied heroes around knew what it meant. "I'm going to fight. I want all other available heroes to fend off those shadows." Lita said, "Princess you could die!" Demiyah said without any humor in her voice, "I'm aware of the risks. And I'll still fight. Til All are One." Marcus was stunned she quoted Transformers, but there was no humor or mirth in her eyes.
Demiyah transformed and jumped into battle the Sword of Selene in her hand which had been a gift from her father Prince Loki of Asgard and Jotunheim. King Consort of the Moon Kingdom. She clashed with NightmareDevimon and their power backlashed so intently that it destroyed several trees and damaged nearby buildings! He let loose his Chaos Thunder attack and made Demiyah scream in pain. Shocking her friends and team mates at the gut wrenching pained screams. The darkness threatened to swallow her wholesale. But her vision was fading.
Demiyah was almost certain this was the end. She heard a voice in her mind. Miya...Demiyah, come on sis keep fighting! Demiyah saw a trio of spirits cheering her on. "Veemon? Leomon, Meicoomon? How are you here?" Meicoomon giggled, "You brought us here. Your Power and the Light within you called for us to give you support."" Leomon said, "Your Courageous Heart called for us and we came." Veemon smiled sadly and said, "Just because we aren't alive anymore, doesn't mean we don't watch out for you. We're in your Heart forever Miya."
Demiyah felt such love and compasion she fought off the pain and opened herself to everything she was. Her Heart was open to all of her Power. She had always been so afraid of her Power, of losing control and ending up hurting people she loved. But now, she wasn't afraid. Light began glowing brighter and brighter around her until...
The dark energy around Demiyah was scaring her friends and loved ones. But a glowing white Light began to grow brighter and brighter until the Light exploded revealing, "Princess Demiyah regained her Elemental Form!" Kimberly asked, "Artemis what do you mean her Elemental Form?!" Artemis said, "Back during the Silver Millennium, Each of the Millennium planets save for Earth had Natural Elemental Forms. Their Human forms were a way to socialize with non elemental beings. All the Millennium planets are beings with different types of wings protuding from their back. For Lunarians they are Phoenix Wings or Snow White Angel wings with Heart or Star markings on the feathers due to the Royal Magic. Lunarians are Light based beings like Solarians. Martians traditionally are Fire based beings. Jovians are thunder based. Mercurians being ice based and so on. As Demiyah proved, their natural Elemental Forms were locked along with several memories Luna claimed they should have had. Blatently refusing to see those memories were Age Locked. As when someone comes of Age in the Magical Communities, Demiyah will gain her full Silver Millennium memories when she's seventeen. Luna made the worst mistake of her life by awakening the Princess as Sailor Moon at age seven. Because she did that, the Princess was able to go through the Magical Milestones she wouldn't have otherwise. She figured by awakening a child, she would be defenseless. When in reality it made her even more powerful!"
The True Avatar of the Light of Hope called the Crescent Moon Wand with her crystal fully bloomed connected to it. Her voice, which echoed a regal, powerful, and warm protective tone said, "Cosmic Moon Power!" A huge blast of Light completely destroyed NightmareDevimon. As his data was flying off, he struggled to keep himself together. "No! I won't go out like this! I will kill that bratty Child of Hope!" Tk was clinging to his older brother who was hugging him protectively. Demiyah in her Elemental Form said, "Devimon, so long as Light exists you will never win." NightmareDevimon dissolved into data particles which then evaporated into thin air.
Demiyah as an Elemental looked sadly at the three Digimon who gave their lives. Their data barely holding their forms together. She smiled and held out her Crystal using her Healing Magic to restore them. Jeri and Meiko's Digivices as well as Demiyah's own reacting. The two girls tackeld their respective partners. Demiyah said softly, "You were given second chances. Use them well." Before the Light disapated and she collapsed.

Three days later, Demiyah came to in a Hospital room. She saw the electrolyte iv drip in her arm and a second tube that held Lunar Magic in a liquid form that was from when she would do donations. Sure the procedure hurt like crazy, but it helped out so much in the long run. Denki was roused awake and quickly woke up everyone even calling people. Fifteen minutes later, Demiyah's parents were in the room, along with her siblings. Len had tears in his eyes as he asked, "Demiyah what were you thinking?! You almost died!" Demiyah said, "I know Len, but I swore to defend this and all World's with everything I had. I wasn't about to let our World fall without putting up one hell of a fight!" The Digidestined, all the different Generations were standing outside of her Hospital room smiling. Finally understanding why she was the Legendary Hero for her team. Why she held the Armor Digieggs of Courage, Friendship, and Miracles. She embodied those traits so thuroughly, it was impoosible for her not to hold them!
It was two days later when she was released from the Hospital and finally the Downtown area was cleaned up enough. The Mayor finally closed the Starshine Festival with the closing Ceremonies, and after made a speech to the City proclaiming Demiyah Oliver the Truest Hero of Reefside, California.
Back at the Oliver household, Demiyah was hugging Veemon in her arms looking at the clouds. She saw the clear blue sky and smiled, "I was right. The fight was definitely worth it. Seeing such an amazing view and knowing the people of Earth can rest knowing another of Diomedes and Luxu's greatest warriors is gone. Not much longer and we'll be fighting them to solidify the future we want to happen the future free of his influence! I swear I will make it happen." Tommy opened the front door, "Demiyah, Veemon lunch is ready. Come inside!"
A light breeze ruffled Demiyah's hair as she thought, 'Yep. This was worth it.'
In the basement of a house in Michigan, a small white haired blue eyed boy in orange was crying due tinjuries he had been given, while a ShadowLeormon ran as fast as it's paws could take him looking for someone, anyone, that could help his partner.
In Xehanort's lair he snarled, "So her power has grown even more. Just great. If she recovers the Guardian Crystals then the last 1000 years worth of planning and manipulation will have been for nothing!" He walked to a video screen and it clicked to a strange logo that said F.O.W.L. He looked over at Steelbeak who had taken over for Bradford, "Greetings Steelbeak. Iniate Protocol: Phooey." Steelbeak said, "As you wish Master."
