Nothing to say so let's get on with the story
"Did you really have to kill them?" Lok asked Dai as the team made their way to Klaus's base, "It was either them or me," Dai answered, "And unlike you I've seen the Org force themselves on innocent females, so in my point of view is that killing them would save others from those I couldn't save." From the pilot seat, Dante said, "She's right the Org would do anything to get what they want."
"So will we have to kill as well?" Sophie asked, "No I do it because it's in MY job description," Dai answered. As the place descended into silence the radar went off, "We got bogies in coming," Dante yelled dodging the gun fire, "I'm going to distract them," Dai yelled jumping out the plane, "Reload Thunderbirdmon," Dai yelled and in a flash of light the armor leveled digimon caught the seeker, "Aim for the blades," she instructed, "Spark Wing," the bird digimon yelled flapping his wings sending countless thunderbolt shaped feathers and as it hit their mark both choppers went down. "Nice going Dai," Dante told the girl, "Thanks," she said.
"Besides the Sceptre we're also after the Bottle of Djinn," Dante told the group as they were nearing the tracker's location. "What's important about the bottle?" Lok asked, "Just trust me on this," the elder seeker said getting nods.
Reaching the area of the tracker the group found themselves entering a book shop, "You sure this is the right place?" Lok asked going through the books, "The tracker stopped here before it went off line," Dante answered. "Do you think Klaus knew about the tracker?" Sophie asked, "Maybe," was the only thing Dai could say looking at the edge of her eye to see Zhalia looking nervous. "Guys, I found something," Lok voiced getting everyone's attention, "Lok behind you," Sophie called out seeing the spiders making his scream, "Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu," Dai called out sending fire balls at the insects burning them, "You know I could have used Ignatius," Dante told Dai, "You need all the energy for this fight and unlike you I can quickly recover," she answered. Entering the lower floors Dai went with Dante, Lok, and Cherit to the second floor, "Did you find anything?" Lok asked searching the cabinets, "Nothing on my end," Dai admitted, "I found this spell scroll," Cherit said holding it up. "Stopglue," Dante said reading it, "Probably one Klaus made," Dai said reading the instructions on how to use it.
"Hey you stop," one of the suits said summoning their titans," Kunoichi/Fan dancer fight with me," Dai yelled summoning her two titans. "Freelancer, Caliban fight by my side," Dante invoked, "Lindorm let's roll," Lok said summoning his titan. "Augerfrost," the suits yelled, "Ray-pulse," Dante and Lok counted, "Wind Style: Wind Spear Jutsu," Dai yelled landing the attack in their shoulders. "Common let's go," Dante said rushing down the stairs followed by the others and their titans and reaching the vault room they saw Klaus putting the bottle in his vest pocket, "So nice of you to join me," the man said looking at the group, "But tell me who are you?" he said turning to Dai, "The one who used an energy unlike anything I've ever seen and creatures unheard of." Dai looked confused until it hit her, "Good they still don't know about the digimon."
"No matter I'll get the info out of you sooner or later. Ammit, Brahe defend your master," Klaus commanded summoning his two titans which were an alligator and a golem like titans. As the titans went at it the hunters surrounded Klaus, "Watch it guys I can sense a weird energy surrounding him," Dai warned. "So you can sense my Lastedge," Klaus said, "Yeah and I can tell there's going to be some weird effect if any of us touch it," Dai answered, "Yes the poison running through it blinds my enemies as the fight goes on," he explained. "Mindrone," the suits yelled from behind them as more suits brought out their titans, "Metagolem/Freelancer/Kurama," the Huntik seekers yelled out summoning their other titans while Sophie and Sabrial appeared from the staircase fighting off the suits, "Where's Zhalia?" Lok asked.
"She went to hold off the suits so that I can help you guys," Sophie asked as Klaus let out a grin unknown to the team. "Reload Rosemon LadyDevimon," Dai called out calling her ultimate and mega level digimon, "Time to fuse," she called out getting a nod.
"Rosemon," she called out, "Ready and waiting," she answered.
"LadyDevimon," Dai yelled, "Let's show them the darkness," the digimon announced.
"Digifuse," she repeated, "Digifuse," they yelled.
As the ultimate turned to data, Rosemon's outfit turned the same black as LadyDevimon's garbs. In place of Rosemon's left hand, in replacement of the vine whip, is LadyDevimon's claw hand, and the rose on her head was removed to reveal her blond hair and the ruby red eyes with silver slits, "DarkRosemon," she announced releasing a kiss. "Pollen of Nightmares," she said releasing dark colored pollen and as they touched the suits they all clutched their heads as each one fell. Since Lok's, Sophie's, and Dai's titans could handle the grunts DarkRosemon turned to Brahe, "Draining Vines," the digimon yelled tangling the titan in vines as the energy went to the digimon and Brahe returned to his amulet. "And here we go," Dante said taking a spear, "What I thought we were after the Djinn?" Sophie asked, "Nope this is our prize," Dante told them, "The Spear of the Impaler, Vlad Dracul."
"So we can get out of here," Lok asked, "Do you really think that I'll let you walk away," Klaus told them. "Seal their fates Nighlurker," the old man said summoning a mummy like titan, "I'll handle that," the fused digimon called out attack the new titan. "Where's Zhalia?" Dante asked dodging Klaus' attacks, "She's holding off the suits," Sophie answered. "Common let's make a run for it," Sophie said running up to the first floor where they find Zhalia standing there. "Earth Style Earth Wall," Dai said raising a slab of earth, "Stopglue," Dante said holding it in place, "Let's get out of here," he told them.
"What's the use if that spear doesn't even have a titan?" Lok asked after Dante explained why he wanted to get it, "What's the other use for something like this?" Dai questioned. "Are you saying it could be a key?" Sophie asked, "Yup to Vlad's castle," Dante answered.
Taking a month to prepare the team was finally ready to storm Vlad's castle, "And why couldn't we just have our titans ram the gate?" Lok asked. "Magic shield that's why," Dai asked as Dante thrusted the spear into the crack of a stone soldier, and passing the front door Dai felt like something was watching them and looking up she saw Klaus, "Klaus already found his way in," the girl told them. "Dai, Lok, Sophie, and Zhalia while I take the tower level I want Lok and Sophie to take the basement and for Dai and Zhalia take the main area," the leader of the group told them getting nods. However, as the main area was too big the girls split up, "Dai what's wrong?" Renamon asked, "I have the feeling something will happen that will affect all of us," Dai said biting her lip. "If anyone hears me Zhalia turned traitor," Lok screamed into his com-link, "What do you mean?" Dai asked shocked, "She was part of the Organization the entire time and she's the one that told them everything," Lok explained before being cut off. "Dai don't do anything stupid," Renamon said worried, "DIE YOU, SON OF A BITCH," Dai roared as she was covered in darkness freaking everyone who heard it. As they could feel it, but the really freaky part was that as the darkness resided she was wearing a skin tight black crop top with a vest and a skirt with leggings connecting her high heels. On her face was a white mask with a slit in the middle for eyes and a blood red energy design (Bleach Hollow Masks). "DAI," Renamon said rushing after her, "Die you bitch," Dai roared punching Zhalia in the face launching her against the wall, "What's wrong with Dai?" Sophie asked worried, "Finding out that Zhalia was a spy all along triggered something inside of her causing this," Renamon explained. "Kilthane fight for your mistress," Zhalia said, "Kill the enemy Kunoichi," Dai said as the titan was now wearing dark armor with yellow eyes (Kingdom Hearts Heartless) charging both seeker and titan charged at the traitor, "Dai stop it," Renamon yelled hugging her from behind, "Yeah Sugar this isn't you," Ranamon cried appearing next to the fox digimon. "Get a hold of yourself," V-mon said appearing in front of his partner, "No not until this bitch is dead," Dai screamed trying to reach Zhalia, "Please this isn't you," Sophie said, "Hey come back to us Dai," Lok followed.
"Don't let the darkness control you," another digimon told her, as he appeared wearing black and gold armor with a lion shield and a spear. Placing a hand on her shoulder Dai flashed and returned to normal, turning to Zhalia it said, "Go before she wakes child." Nodding the girl ran not before shedding a tear.
Waking up Dai looked around seeing that she was in her room at Dante's house, "Please tell me that was a dream," she told herself. "Afraid not," Zhalia voiced snapping her head Dai was about to jump at her when she groaned in pain, "What do you want?" the maroon haired girl growled getting Zhalia to flinch, "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for what I did," she said. "After what just happened it's a little hard for me to believe," the bearer of Miracles told her, "I wouldn't be surprised that you did tell the Organization about the digimon," she added. "I never told them about the digimon," Zhalia admitted making Dai stare into her eyes making Dai see she was telling the truth, "You here to say goodbye or something?" Dai asked. "Yeah I can't forgive myself after what I did so I need to go," Zhalia walking up to her, "Thank you for trusting me in the beginning," the leaving teenage girl told the bedridden girl kissing her on the forehead making Dai have a small blush on her cheeks.
It has been a month since Zhalia's leaving and everyone is just laying around, "Incoming transmission from the Foundation," Dante said as Dai walked into the living room. "After the incident with Zhalia, the Organization knows more than we thought," Guggenheim began getting Dai to rub her arm causing her to walk outside, "What was that power?" she thought to herself thinking about what happened in the castle. "Dai common we're going to the Cathedral in Paris," Cherit said snapping the girl out of her thoughts, "Coming," Dai answered heading inside. Reaching Paris Dante split up the group, "Sophie take Cherit to the Huntik Museum and find anything on the Casterwill in the area while Lok, Dai, and myself will go to the mausoleum of Sir Lancelot to find his hidden statuaries," Dante explained.
Reaching the mausoleum Lok found the hidden door only to find out the archeologist to be members of the Organization. "Thank you for showing the Organization the way in Dante Vale," the leader of the group sneered. "Now hands in the air for the professor will reward us handsomely for bringing in the thorns of the Organization," another one yelled as they all had spells at the ready. "Hyperstride," Dante and Dai yelled as they jumped over the spells as Lok ducked, and after landing they beat the suits then proceeded down the stairs.
Talking through the floors and encountering the traps they knew something was up, "Isn't it weird that we were able to pass each help quickly?" Dai asked, "Yeah it's like someone is helping up," Dante said turning to the door behind them. "Who cares all that matters is that we are passing the tests," Lok said missing the point. "No what I mean is that I have a feeling we're doing the dirty work for someone else," Dai explained also looking the same direction. But ignoring the feeling, for now, the group continued on, "Common just at the end of the hall," Dante said passing the portraits of Lancelot and others. Taking out her Holotome Dai scanned the room; however, that wasn't needed as Lok caught her attention making her turn to see a ghost of the knight try to swing a sword at Dante, "I got this," Dai said clashing swords with the knights. Dueling with the ghost Dai had to duck and weave around the sword, "For a ghost you're quick," she said before finally ending him.
"I'll take things from here Dante Vale," a voice called out, "Finally showing your face I see," the man said turning around to see the person that was following them, "Rassimov one of the Organizations top dogs," Dai explained for Lok. "And you're the annoying brat that's been beating us at every turn," the man sneered, "No matter that will end today. End their fates Sekhmet, Thornment," the man said invoking his titans. "You want a plant battle then you got one," Dai said seeing the thorn whips, "Reload Rosemon," she called out calling her own plant creature, "You called my lady," she said before taking sight of Thornment, "So this is my opponent for today, huh let's get started," she said charging at the titan along with Freelancer. Summoning Renamon to her aid they fought Sekhmet while Dante fought Rassimov and Lok went to find the amulet of Lancelot. "Thunderbolt/Diamond Storm," both human and digimon yelled out; as the attacks flew the diamonds absorbed the electricity charging them up as they landed on the titan giving him quite a shock.
"Rose Spear," Rosemon yelled sending her whip, as it formed into a spear, at her opponent then dodging a counter from the titan she yelled once more, "Ivy Hug," entangling Thornment in vines the digimon ended the battle, "Forbidden Temptation," using her signature move to end the battle sending Thornment to her amulet. "Rosemon help Lok if he needs any," Dai told the digimon getting Rosemon to fly off, and turning to Rassimov the seeker yelled, "Earth Style: Earth Spear." Sending three spears at Rassimov they, as Sophie and Charit arrived, were surprised to hear the man yell, "Darkvoid," creating a small black hole to suck the attack, "Damn didn't see that one coming," Dai commented after seeing the attack first hand, "Now to use it on you," the man said turning to Dai with a dark grin on his face, but before he could use the spell once more Dante kicked him in the gut, "Dai watch out!" Cherit yelled seeing the purple cat titan about to thrust her sword into Dai.
To the horror of everyone the sword pierced Dai only for her to turn to smoke, "Fight for Chivalry," Lok said summoning the titan of Lancelot. Seeing him outmatched Rassimov ran, "Nice job Lok," Sophie cheered.
I am going to add another part to this chapter to tribute the new SAO Ordinal Scale movie so let us gets start.
"That movie was fucking awesome," Dai cheered as she, Ken, and Cody exited the movie theater the day of the first watch for the movie. "Yeah that was fun to watch," Ken agreed, "I like how players from both ALO and GGO helped fight the final boss of SAO," Cody said putting in his input. "And they turned Asuna back into the bad ass chick she should be," Dai cheered once more, "But did Yui really have to interrupt their kiss," Ken said getting nods from his companions. "Yeah may Yuna's spirit pass on in peace," Cody said bowing his head along with the others, "During the movie I thought I heard someone say 'Dude he's starting to cry' when Yuki's spirit showed up," Ken said, "So I wasn't the only one who heard that," Cody told getting a nod from Dai.
Walking around the market place, they came by a music store, "Oh look they released the soundtrack for the movie," Dai exclaimed dragging Ken and Cody inside and after a few minutes they came out with the CD in Dai's hand. "So how was the movie?" Jun asked seeing the three enter the house, "Good glad it was over soon or we would have been kicked out due to Dai here," Ken said getting the girl in question to squawk, "I wasn't the only one laughing and cheering," Dai argued. "Yeah but you were the loudest," Cody agreed getting Dai to huddle in a corner with a depressed look over her head. "And I see you already got the CD for it?" Jun asked seeing the disk case in her sister's hands, "Yup I'm going to download it tonight," Dai answered.
"I'm surprised you didn't get the cosplay outfits from the movie," Jun asked but all three face faulted when Dai answered, "Already ordered them online and should be here tomorrow." Shaking her head Jun said, "Should have known you are a vivid fan of the SAO series; turning to Ken and Cody Jun asked, "Do you want to stay over for dinner?" turning to each other Cody nodded, "Yeah sure we will stay our parents do not mind if we are at your house or your parents," Ken answered. During dinner, Jun asked, "What are you going to do tomorrow since the Foundation hasn't called you in for Dante's team to get another mission?"
"Oh they already left for one I really wanted to go watch the movie so I let them go on ahead," the bearer of Miracles answered. "How about a few mission?" Ken offered, "Yeah we're hoping that you could let us go with you on a mission or two," Cody asked. "How are their spells coming along?" Dai asked Jun as she was the one teaching them when she herself was not around, "Up to par," she answered. "Ok then let's head to the Foundation base tomorrow," Dai answered.
The next day the three were standing in front of Smith, "Just so happens I have a mission for you," she answered sending it to Dai's Holotome. "Find out what's causing the storm clouds in southern part of China," Ken read, "We're on it," he told Smith. Returning home to pack, they all met at the airport that afternoon, "Ready?" Dai asked seeing her partners for today's mission, "Yeah and is that Asuna's outfit from the movie?" Ken asked seeing that she was wearing the same thing. "Yeah turns out one of the seamstresses in leagued with the foundation made them tough enough for missions," she said with a grin. "Now to China, we go," V-mon said turning to the airport, grinning the digimon partners followed than their human partners.
Landing in China the group took another jeep to the southern part of the region. "Now let's start out search," Ken said opening up his Holotome, "According to the Holotome the origin point of the storms are in the forest region of China." Looking through the supplies, Dai said, "Good thing we packed for enough for a month via the sealing scrolls. Now let's get moving," nodding the group started to walk through the forest; however, was they were walking they already ran into a problem. "Looks like we weren't the only ones trying to find the storms origin," Wormon whispered, "Yeah the forest is crawling with suits," Armadillomon added as the group passed a group of suit scouts. Signaling to follow, Dai brought them to a clearing, "So what's the plan boss?" Renamon asked, and thinking it over Dai said, "We'll still go the way we were going but let's try not to fight any suits." However, before they could leave three suits found them in the clearing the Huntik seekers were in.
"Too late, get them," the leader of the group yelled, "Mindrone," one of the suits yelled summoning their titans, "Kunoichi/Freelancer/Shinobi," the three yelled summoning their own titans. "Augerfrost/Raypulse," the two teams yelled countering each other but seeing that would not work both groups charged at each other. ducking under a punch Dai punched punch the suit then ran in doing a spin kick, and while that was happening Cody was using his height to weave in and out of the suits reach as he was kicking and punching. Turning to Ken, he was dodging punches while making a few of his own when he was kicked back but quickly did a cross guard protecting himself from the ax kick. Dodging a lung Kunoichi sliced the Mindrone in the center defeating it as Freelancer thrust his lance through the Mindrone as Shinobi copied Kunoichi.
Seeing their titans defeated the suit grunts ran for the hills, "Now let's continue before we run into anymore," V-mon announced getting nods from the others. Dodging suits at every turn the Huntik seekers found themselves facing a rock wall, "Where to now?" Wormon asked his human partner, "According to the Holotome we should be close," he answered, "Yeah we can see the storm starting to form," Cody said pointing to the gathering clouds. Walking towards the location Kurama was starting to stir, "Why does this place look so familiar?" the beast thought as he watched his user walk through the forest, "Common there's some shelter up ahead," Armadillomon told the group leading them to shelter away from the storm.
"Wasn't Mount Rushmore, in the states, have carvings of their leaders carved into rocks?" Wormon asked getting nods, but to Kurama when he saw the carvings he realized why the area looked so familiar, "Konohagakure!" he said aloud. "Dai summon me now," Kurama demanded, "If you say so. Come and defend Kurama," Dai yelled summoning the beast, "Now what's got you so worked up about?" she asked. "Demiyah I present to you the village hidden in the Leaves," Kurama announced, "I welcome you to the home of your ancestors, Konohagakure."
"Common let's look around," Dai said immediately dragging Ken and Cody by the hand to explore her family grounds. Exploring the village, they stood in front of the Hokage tower and taking a deep breath Dai opened the door as Kurama stood outside, "Man from the looks of it no one has been her in a thousand years," Cody commented. "That is true at the end of the Shinobi area people started to move out of the villages hoping to forget about the Bloody Area, and while most have forgotten their ninja roots there are few who remember their origins," Kurama explained. "Then why haven't anyone found this place yet?" Ken questioned, "That is because my third human partner, Dai's ancestor Naruto Uzumaki placed the five great nations under a seal that only those with ninja blood can enter," Kurama explained, "Then how are we able to find it?" Wormon asked. "Only those who are true friends of a ninja can enter," the fox answered, "Common the titan is nearby," Cody said getting everyone back on track, but it was not needed as the titan appeared in front of the tower. The titan was the same height and features as Kunoichi but wearing the clothes Japanese shoes with baggy pants and a loose shirt, "Raijin the Thunderbolt," Kurama answered, "While I was Naruto's titan Raijin was Sasuke's," he further explained.
If that wasn't hard enough two digimon appeared next to the titan that had the body of Kirby with ninja armor on them, "Ninjamon," Ken said stepping up along with Cody. Both bringing out their loaders, as their partners digivolved into champions, yelling, "Flybeemon/Togemogumon reload," as the digimon appeared the digimon in front of Cody was a dragonfly fused with a bee and in front of Ken was a porcupine with diamonds on the back. "Digifuse," they yelled as the digimon yelled, "Digifuse."
As Ankylomon disappeared, only his back and tail remained as they attached to Flybeemon, "Flybeemon with Wrecking Mace." And for Ken's digimon the only change was that the porcupine morphed into a gauntlet as it attacked to Stingmon's right arm, "Stingmon with Crystal Blaster. "Fight with me Kunoichi," Dai said summoning her titan, and as if a silent signal was agreed, they clashed as a single leaf fell to the ground. As one both Dai and her titan were fighting as one using the telepathy to its full advantage because as one blocked the other would attack, "Isn't that like Asuna and Kirito?" Ken asked getting Cody to nod. "Crystal Barrage," Stingmon yelled blasting a storm of crystal at Ninjamon, "Meteor Smash," Flybeemon announced swinging the mace overhead slamming it on the ground sending rocks at the ninja digimon. Jumping in Kurama launched his tail like a spear as Kunoichi and Dai stood on the tails, and as the titan blocked the human and human-like titan slashed Raijin returning it back into its amulet.
Dai turning to Ken and Cody saw that they just beat the digimon, "Common let's go find anything of value," she instructed returning Kunoichi and Kurama back into their amulets. Finding anything of value, Dai sealed them in a blood scroll then returned to Japan's Huntik base. "Good work on recovering the artifacts," Smith complimented, "Now you have the rest of the day off," she added dismissing the trio. Exiting the building the group wondered around the town until they enter a karaoke bar and unknowingly to them Tai and the others were there as well, "You want to sing?" Ken asked the girl, "I'm not much of a singer," Dai answered. "Then why did I hear you sing 'Catch the Moment' from the SAO movie until I had to force into bed," Jun voiced.
"You want to sing miss?" the owner of the bar asked, "Of course but first let's get her into a different outfit," Jun said pushing Dai to the dressing room. "Ladies and gentlemen," the owner said catching everyone's attention, "Today I want hands in the air for a new singer, Demiyah, who will be singing 'Catch the Moment' from the SAO movie," he said stepping aside to reveal Dai in Yuna's outfit.
Pressing play, Dai closed her eyes and when the words start to play, she sang.
"I gently drank back the sigh I'd let out. Regret left a bitter taste behind.
Why is it? I can never say the things that matter most."
"The next sunrise is peeking over the horizon.
But if I were to cut up this fate I've grown so sick of and start over once more..."
As she sang Yolie's jaw dropped at how great she sang while the rest of the group smiled at how fun Dai was having. From the balcony, Jun was recording the entire thing so that their parents could watch while others were recording to post it online.
"I might not be able to see you again!
The moment my voice rang out, my heart started counting the limits of this life: A wish that will never end, no matter how many times it comes true!
The second hand of this world, running with sweat upon its brow... will someday leave me stranded here, unmoving.
How many more times will I be able to smile with you?
I'm testing my own limits: Catch the Moment!"
"Each happiness I account for... leaves me trembling in fear for my shifting future."
"I'll carefully raise this seed of love;
I wonder if I can grow it tall enough to break through those thick clouds!"
"She's really good at this," Ken yelled over the screaming crowd. "Yeah she likes to sing in her spare time," Jun told them.
"Your voice rang out... now it's traveling throughout my entire body, knocking on the door of my heart!
Even if I'm afraid, I'm gonna open it! 'Cause I wanna believe!
Even if I'm afraid, I'm gonna open it! 'Cause I wanna believe!Someday, a deep, reassuring root will take its place beneath my feet... where I expected nothing would ever grow.
Someday, a deep, reassuring root will take its place beneath my feet... where I expected nothing would ever grow."
"Man Dai looks great out there," Joe told the others. "Yeah don't think I've ever seen Dai like that," Kari said watching her former friend, "I just hope these guys control themselves," Tai said glancing at all the guys in the crowd getting a nod from Matt.
"again and again
Catching up to you... overtaking you... losing track of who you are...Then getting really happy when the timing of our breaths align...
And you can become happy in the only fit to the rhythm of breathing
I wonder if the second you picked up go for forever"
"I might not be able to see you again!
The moment my voice rang out, my heart started counting the limits of this life: A wish that will never end, no matter how many times it comes true!
The second hand of this world, running with sweat upon its brow... will someday leave me stranded here, unmoving.
How many more times will I be able to smile with you?
I'm testing my own limits: Catch the Moment!"
"I won't let it go!
Gonna catch this point in time: Catch the Moment!"
Finishing with a bow, Dai said, "Thank you for being a wonderful crowd and I hope to see you again," waving she returned to the dressing room to change back and regroup with the rest of her group. "If you ever want to sing just give me a call or just come by and I'll see if there's space," the owner told her giving her a water bottle, "Thank you and as for your offer I'll think about it," Dai said taking the water.
Going to end the chapter here, hope you all like the chapter and see you all later.
