Note: By the way, to avoid any confusion, I'll tell you about that continuity this fic has with the show. First off all the episodes of Adventure and 02 happened. The first, second, and fourth movie all happened in the continuity of this fic. The third movie however didn't in the way it happened in the movie. To explain it better, the events in America with Wallace (Willis in dub) did happen, but none of the Japanese Chosen Children got involved in it for the continuity of this fic. If you are confused about this, it will be explained better in later chapters.
Episode 5: The Rage of Belphemon! Unleash Paladin Mode!
Koushiro and his gang had just arrived back at his house from Hikarigaoka. Miyako and Iori were still excited over what had happened.
"I still can't believe you guys were able to evolve to perfect without jogressing with Angemon and Tailmon." Miyako said for the hundredth time since they left Hikarigaoka. It had been really tempting for the others to throw her out of the car and make her walk home.
"Well at least if the Demon Lords sent more evil digimon, we'll be better prepared to fight them with six perfects than we were with only four perfects and two adults." Jyou pointed out. Koushiro sat down at his computer.
"I think it is obvious that this fight is going to be hard." He said as he logged into his computer, "Which is why I think we need to find the possible third great angel as soon as possible." Once he was on he checked to see if he had gotten any replies from the Chosen Children around the world. "Damn, still no replies."
"So how are find going to find this third angel if we have no leads?" Sora asked worriedly. She didn't want to think of what may happen if they really did need this third angel and they couldn't find it. Koushiro thought for a moment.
"Well maybe one of us saw something when we travelled around the world that one time to send digimon back to the Digital World." Koushiro paused, "In Hong Kong, Hikari and I met three Chinese brothers who were all paired with Shakomon who all evolve to Octmon. I don't see them becoming an angel. There was a girl in India paired with a Meramon, but he didn't seem like the type to become an angel either. I did see one girl paired with a Hanumon. It's hard to tell, I think it did wear a holy ring..." He turned to the rest, "Did any of you see any digimon then that may become an angel?"
"Well when Iori and I were in Australia, all we met were mostly aquatic digimon." Jyou told him. Iori nodded.
"Yeah, none of their digimon seemed very angelic to me." Iori said.
"The three Chosen Children Miyako and I met in Moscow were paired with Kuwagamon, Snimon, and Unimon." Sora told them. "There were also some kids with Yukidarumon, but I doubt they could be who we're looking for." Koushiro thought.
"Well Unimon could be a possibility. Given Patamon and Tailmon, it's rather hard to tell what could possibly evolve into an angel." Koushiro turned to Mimi, "Mimi, you've lived in America for awhile there so surely you've met lots of Chosen Children in that time."
"Actually I still don't think I'm anywhere close to meeting all the American Chosen Children." Mimi told them.
"Well have any of the digimon of those you have met stood out to you in some way?" Koushiro asked her. Mimi thought for a moment.
"Well I did meet one kid named Wallace who had two digimon." Mimi finally said. Everyone gasped at this.
"How did he get two digimon?" Iori asked her. He had never heard of anyone having two partner digimon before.
"He told me they hatched out of the same egg that came out of his mother's computer." Mimi explained. Koushiro sighed.
"Well if they are twins, what are the changes one of them would be an angel but not the other?" He asked. Mimi thought some more.
"Actually, I remember one story he told me. One of his digimon, Lopmon, disappeared on day while they were playing in the field. Three years later he reappeared corrupted by a virus looking for him. He didn't recognize Wallace anymore and evolved all the way to the ultimate level. Then a Golden Digimental appeared before Wallace, allowing his other digimon, Terriermon to armour evolve and purify Lopmon. He said after Lopmon's ultimate form was purified, it looked almost angelic and then was degenerated all the way to a digiegg." Mimi explained. Everyone was stunned at what she told them.
"Mimi, could you contact him and ask him if he can come here to Japan?" Koushiro asked her, "I would like to talk to him and see if his partner really is the third angel we're looking for." Mimi nodded and got out her D-Terminal. "I better e-mail the others and tell them what is happening." Koushiro pulled out his D-Terminal and noticed Ken had sent him an e-mail so he read it. "The others have defeated Barbamon. They managed to suck him into HolyAngemon's Heaven's Gate."
"Really, that's awesome!" Gomamon cried out.
Koushiro turned to Miyako and Iori, "And Takeru and Hikari would like to congratulate you two for evolving to the perfect level on your own." With that out of the way, Koushiro got back to writing his e-mail.
It was night time in the Digital World. The six Chosen Children and their digimon were gathered around a fire they had built. They all turned to Ken when his D-Terminal beeped. Ken pulled out his D-Terminal to read the e-mail Koushiro had sent him. Once he had read the e-mail he smiled.
"Koushiro has some good news for us." He told the group.
"What is it, Ken?" Wormmon asked him from his side.
"Well apparently Mimi knows someone in America who may be partnered up with the third great angel we are looking for." Ken explained, causing everyone to smile.
"Really, that's great!" Takeru exclaimed.
"Yeah, I've always wanted to meet another digimon who could evolve into an angel." Patamon said happily.
"Hey, what about me? You've met me." Tailmon turned to him, looking rather sad about being forgotten. Patamon turned to her, still smiling.
"I didn't forget about you. What I meant to say was I had always wanted to meet a third digimon who could evolve into an angel. Don't you feel the same?" Tailmon pondered this.
"Actually, yes, I have." She finally said.
"Anyways," Ken continued, "Mimi is contacting him to see if he can come to Japan so Koushiro can confirm where or not his digimon is the one we are looking for." Taichi nodded.
"Hopefully we'll get the results we want." He said, "But now I think we should go to sleep. Who'd like to keep watch first?"
"I'll do it." Hikari said, "I'm not tired right now anyways, so I don't think I'd be able to fall asleep anyways." Takeru nodded at her.
"Alright, I'll take watch second. Just wake me up in three hours." He told her.
"I'll be third." Daisuke volunteered.
"I'll finish up the night." Ken said. With all the settled the boys and their digimon went to bed while Hikari and Tailmon kept watch.
The two kept watch in silence, all the time Hikari pondering what has happened so far. Finally after half an hour she turned to Tailmon. "Tailmon, do you really think all three great angels are necessary to defeat all seven of the Great Demon Lords?" She asked her digimon, who turned to face her, "I mean we have already defeated three. Can't we defeat the rest without the third great angel? Besides Patamon's ultimate evolution may be strong enough to defeat the rest." Tailmon thought about this.
"Well I can't say for sure, not knowing what Patamon's ultimate form will be for sure." She concluded, "But what is sure is that the remaining Great Demon Lords are very strong. Besides, even if we are powerfully enough right now to defeat them, it wouldn't hurt to find the third great angel anyways just to make sure we win."
Hikari thought thinking about this some more, "Hey Tailmon, do you really want to meet another angel digimon so badly?" Tailmon nodded.
"Yes, ever since I remembered my destiny as a Chosen Digimon, I have felt ashamed I had followed Vamdemon and fought against my fellow Chosen Digimon. When I evolved into Angewomon for the first time, it almost felt like redemption for me. I've based my whole life afterwards on following the light, since I feel light represents the side of good." Tailmon explained.
"I understand, but what does it have to do with you wanting to meet another angel digimon?" Hikari asked, wondering what the point was to Tailmon's story.
"Well since angels represent light, and I'm the digimon who holds the power of light, I want to meet more so that I can feel a part of a group of good." Tailmon told her. As Hikari sat there trying to absorb all this information, the ground started to shake violently. Hikari turned her head, feeling the power of darkness approaching. She soon spotted what it was.
"It's Belphemon!" She turned to Tailmon, who had taken a fighting stance. "Evolve Tailmon!" Tailmon nodded and quickly evolved into Ophanimon and flew in front of the giant beast that was now before them.
"Eden's Javelin!" She launched her attack at the beast. Unfortunately it didn't seem to affect him at all. With an evil laugh Belphemon raised his right claw and swatted the angel to the ground.
"Ophanimon!" Hikari cried out as she ran to her digimon's side. Ophanimon slowly raised her head.
"Hikari, stay back." She told her partner. Belphemon then let out a great big roar, which hurt their ears so much they had to put their hands over them. It also woke up the boys and their digimon.
"Oh my God, Belphemon!" cried out Ken. Taichi noticed his sister and Ophanimon lying on the ground in front of the giant beast.
"Hikari!" He cried out and turned to Agumon. "Go help her!" Agumon warp evolved to WarGreymon and rushed forwards.
"We'll help you, Taichi!" Yamato told his friend and Gabumon also warp evolved to MetalGarurumon. Taichi turned to him with a smile.
"Thanks, Yamato, now let's jogress!" Both their digivices glowed, allowing WarGreymon and MetalGarurumon to jogress to Omegamon.
Omegamon raised his MetalGarurumon arm, opening the mouth. "Garuru Cannon!" He fired a blast of ice from the cannon, freezing Belphemon. Unfortunately, the beast broke out of the ice encasing its body with ease.
Daisuke turned to Ken, "We got to help them!" Ken nodded. They both raised their D-3s, allowing V-mon and Wormmon to evolve all the way to Imperialdramon Fighter Mode.
"Positron Laser!" Imperialdramon fired his laser, only for it not to affect the beast before him.
"Damn it, it had no effect!" Daisuke pointed out.
Rage in his eyes, Takeru turned to Patamon. "Patamon, it's your turn!" His D-3 glowed allowing Patamon to evolve to his perfect level, HolyAngemon.
HolyAngemon extended the sword on his arm and flew at Belphemon. "Excalibur!" He went to slice at the beast, only to be knocked out of the air by the demon's left claw.
"No, HolyAngemon!" Takeru cried out.
"That does it! Grey Sword!" Omegamon extended his sword from the WarGreymon head and charged at the beast, slashing at it. To everyone's disbelief, the wound healed instantly.
Belphemon let out another roar, which hurt everyone's ears and prepared his own attack. "Gift of
Darkness!" The demon's claws burst into flames as he slashed at Omegamon. Screaming in pain, the great digimon fell to the ground.
"No way, even Omegamon has been defeated..." Daisuke trailed off in disbelief. Ophanimon and HolyAngemon still lie on the ground from the previous attacks they had taken. Was there no hope left for them? Belphemon turned to Imperialdramon.
"You're the only one who stands in my way now." He growled out. The chains wrapped around his body started glowing in a black flame. "Lampranthus!" The black flames flew out from the chains into Imperialdramon, knocking him over. Letting out a triumphant roar, Belphemon began smashing everything in sight, with no one left to stop him.
"No way, we've lost..." Ken trailed off not wanting to believe it.
"I won't believe it! We can't just let this happen!" Daisuke cried out in anger. He wasn't going to allow both world to be destroyed like this. As if hearing his will, Imperialdramon slowly stood up.
"Daisuke..." The digimon said in XV-mon's voice.
"Ken.." This time in Stingmon's voice.
"We won't give up." Both voices this time. Omegamon also slowly rose.
"Imperialdramon..." He said with WarGreymon's voice.
"We believe in you." Said with MetalGarurumon's voice. Omegamon started to glow. A holy ring rose out of his body into the air and formed a sword. Losing all that power, Omegamon reverted back to Agumon and Gabumon. Everyone gasped.
"That sword..." Takeru said.
"It's just like the one that appeared when Omegamon and Imperialdramon fought Armagemon at Tokyo Bay." Hikari said, remembering that battle where Diablomon had tried to get revenge. The Kuramon had formed into a giant digiegg which Armagemon had hatched out off. Omegamon was defeated by that digimon, but had given his power to Imperialdramon to defeat him in his place. Was this what was happening here?
The sword floated down in front of Imperialdramon. The digimon reached out and grabbed the sword. In a burst of light, his armour changed to a platinum color. Everyone's mouth hanged open in shock.
"Just like when we fought Armagemon..." Daisuke mumbled.
"He had changed to Paladin Mode once again." Ken stated.
Imperialdramon raised the sword above its head, which began to glow. "Everyone point your digivices at this sword." He commanded. Complying, everyone rose up their digivices and pointed it at the sword. The sword glowed brightly with this energy and Imperialdramon charged at the rampaging Belphemon. "Omega Blade!" Imperialdramon sliced the demon in half with the charged up sword. Everyone held their breath as they waited. Luckily, the demon turned into data. With the enemy gone, Imperialdramon regenerated to V-mon and Wormmon. Happy, the two digimon rushed over to their partners.
"V-mon, you did it!" Daisuke cried as he spun V-mon around when the digimon jumped into his arms.
"Great job, Wormmon!" Ken told his digimon and picked him up. After celebrating for awhile, the Chosen Children decided to get some more sleep.
"It seems the Chosen Children are more powerful than we thought." Lucemon commented as he watched the defeat of Belphemon through an orb. Demon turned to him.
"In a way, I'm glad the others have failed." He told the leader of the Great demon Lords.
"Oh, and why is that?" Lucemon asked curiously.
"Because it gives me the chance to personally get my revenge." Demon answered. "I swear I will make them feel all my wrath for having being trapped in that Dark Ocean for almost three years."
"Very well, then you will be the next to face them." Lucemon told him. Demon turned and headed out of the cave.
"Prepare yourself, Chosen Children, my revenge is about to commence!"
