Family Picnic.
Previously on 'A New Destiny Arises'… While building a new prison in an icy region of the Digital World, the Digimon Emperor forced the Gizamon to turn against Gomamon and Sealmon. Back in the Real World, Joe and Amy received the distress call, and traveled to the Digital World with the new team of DigiDestined. The Digimon Emperor had built another Control Spire in that area, and it was guarded by Frigimon. Splitting up into two groups, Sailor Mercury and the rest of the Armor Digimon severely damaged the Control Spire, letting Sealmon and Gomamon to Digivolve and save the day. What new challenge will the new DigiDestined face? Find out in this chapter of 'A New Destiny Arises'…
A new day arises over Odaiba. A large 747 lands in the airport and the passengers step off.
Amongst the passengers is a couple, a teenage girl with long, blonde hair, pulled into pigtails with small buns at the top of her head. She has blue eyes, and wearing a red, white, and blue T-shirt, a white skirt, and white knee-high boots.
Next to her was an older looking male, about college age. He had short, black hair and dark eyes. He wore a white, oxford shirt and comfortable slacks.
"This should really surprise everyone." giggled the girl, former Original DigiDestined, Serena Tsukino.
Beside her was her boyfriend, Darien Shields, also known as Piper and Payson's older brother. He smiled as he and Serena walked into the airport lobby.
"What time is it?" Darien asked.
Serena shrugged her shoulders. She looked around and saw the digital clock read 8:54 AM. Smiling, she dug out her Digivice and changed the time from New York time to Tokyo time. The duo walked out into the early morning.
DemiVeemon looked around Davis' bedroom, calling out his partner's name. He climbed onto the headboard of the bed, only to find Davis asleep on the floor, snoring away.
"Davis!" called the In-Training Digimon. He jumped down and began jumping on his partner's stomach. "Wake up! Davis! Davis!" the small digimon kept jumping.
Davis stirred and looked at his Digimon.
"Good morning!" greeted DemiVeemon. "Sleep well?"
"Yeah, until I heard all that screaming." Davis groaned. "The next time I tell you to wake me up, try to be a little quieter so I can get some sleep."
DemiVeemon smiled.
Cody threw on his purple, long-sleeved T-shirt. "I turn my back on him for one minute and he disappears!" he murmured. "Upamon where are you?"
Cody opened his bedroom door and saw Upamon hiding under a basket. The small in-training Digimon ran to his partner. "Cody I think your mom is making us some candy." he said, giddily.
"Candy?" Cody repeated. He looked over. "That's not candy, it's sushi." he corrected, walking back to his room.
"Does it taste like candy?" Upamon asked.
"Not really." Cody answered. "It's seaweed and raw fish."
"Yucky!" Upamon recoiled.
"That was my first reaction too." Cody chuckled.
Gatomon watched as Kari packed up her backpack. "I made a nice little bed for you Gatomon." Kari giggled.
"You think I'm getting in there?!" Gatomon asked. "Think again!"
"Oh come on, be a sport." Kari smiled and scuffed Gatomon by her fur. "It'll be fun."
Kari stuffed her cat-like partner in her backpack, despite Gatomon trying her best to refuse.
Rini brushed through her long, pink hair. She turned around to Biyomon and smiled. "Okay, Biyo, time to get in the Duffle." the teen pointed to her pink duffle bag.
"Do I really have to?" whined the pink bird Digimon.
Rini nodded. "It's only for a short while." She walked over and placed Biyomon in her pink duffle, zipping it up almost all the way, leaving an opening so Biyomon could breathe.
She slung her duffle over her shoulder and walked down the hall, stopping at TK's bedroom door. She knocked, "TK let's go. We're gonna be late."
"I'm coming." TK opened the door, his green backpack over his shoulder.
The duo walked to the front door and yelled goodbye to TK's mom. They stepped outside and headed to the elevator.
Patamon struggled in TK's backpack. "Can we hurry up?!" he screamed. "Your gym socks from yesterday are in here."
TK chuckled, "Sorry about that, I forgot."
Rini giggled as the duo met Cody at the elevator and rode down.
Payson and Catherine were packing up their bags as well.
"This is going to be great." Payson giggled, packing her light red duffle full of picnic food.
Piper was in the kitchen, mixing a shake in the blender.
"What is that Piper?" Payson asked, confused.
The raven haired teen smiled and poured the shake into a travel thermos. "A protein shake." she answered.
Piper was in her gold and black gymnastics leotard, wearing black sweats over her legs and a black jacket.
Catherine came out with Nalamon poking her head out of Catherine's lavender duffle. "We're ready to go."
"Speak for yourself." Nalamon groaned. "I feel like a sardine in here."
Piper chuckled. Payson put Poromon in her duffle and the three girls headed for the door. Piper smiled as she grabbed her black gym duffle and her car keys.
"Shotgun!" Payson yelled, running for the passenger seat of Piper's red Viper.
Catherine rolled her eyes as she slid into the backseat while Piper started the car.
"Buckle up you two." Piper said, clicking her seatbelt and putting the car in reverse.
The two teens did as instructed before Piper drove off and headed for the school.
Cody, TK, and Rini were walking down the side walk when Piper's car pulled up beside them.
"You three need a lift?" Payson asked.
"Sure, I guess." TK answered.
The trio slid into the back with Catherine and Piper continued to drive to the school.
"Where are the others?" Davis asked.
"They should've been here by now." Kari noted.
Piper's red Viper came into view and Payson waved from the passenger seat. "Sorry we're late guys." she apologized.
The new DigiDestined stepped out of the Viper.
"Try and be careful you guys." Piper warned.
"Don't worry we will." Catherine smiled as Piper drove around to park her car near the High School Gym.
The new DigiDestined walked through the front gate and headed for the Computer Lab.
"I got us here! Am I the best or what?" Davis gloated.
The other DigiDestined sighed and groaned.
Outside, Reye Hino parked her car in the parking lot and headed inside.
"Reye!" a familiar voice called.
Reye turned her head, and was shocked to see Serena running towards her.
"Serena?" Reye questioned.
The blonde teen hugged her friend and giggled. "I've missed you so much."
Reye hugged Serena back. "I thought you moved to New York?" she asked.
"I did." Serena answered. "But I caught a flight and wanted to surprise you guys. And Rini too."
Reye smiled and saw Darien a few inches behind Serena. Darien smiled. "I came to surprise Piper. Where is she?" he asked, noticing the red Viper in the parking lot.
"Probably in the gym practicing, she's on the Gymnastics team now." Reye answered.
Darien smiled. "Thanks Reye. I'll see you two later." he walked off towards the Gym.
"What are you doing here Reye?" Serena asked.
"The new DigiDestined were planning on having a picnic in the Digital World and invited me along." Reye answered, adjusting her crimson duffle over her shoulder.
"A picnic? In the Digital World?" Serena repeated.
Reye nodded. "Why not join us? That way you could formally meet them."
"Sounds great, thanks." Serena smiled and the two girls headed inside the school.
"I wonder if I'll see Palmon again." Serena thought, imagining the smiling face of her beloved, plant partner.
Payson sat down and pulled up the Digital Gate. "Perfecto, let's get going." she voted.
The door slid open, and Reye and Serena smiled.
"Hey guys." Reye greeted.
Serena stepped out beside her and smiled.
"Serena!" exclaimed TK, Rini, Kari, Catherine, and their digimon.
"Serena?" questioned the other DigiDestined.
Rini ran up and hugged Serena, who returned the hug. "I've missed you." Rini sighed.
"And I've missed you too, little one." Serena replied.
Rini turned to the other DigiDestined. "Guys, this is Serena. She's was part of the Original DigiDestined." she introduced. "She moved to New York City."
"When did you get back?" Kari asked.
"Just this morning." Serena answered. "I wanted to surprise you guys."
"Well it certainly is a surprise." Patamon said.
"How've you all been?" Serena asked.
"Well other than being packed in a duffle like a Sardine, fine." Nalamon answered.
Catherine chuckled. "Serena this is Davis, Cody, and Payson. They're the new DigiDestined."
"Yeah, Mina told me all about you guys." Serena told them.
"I hope it's okay, I invited Serena on our picnic." Reye said.
"The more the merrier." Payson chuckled. "I packed extra food in case the Digimon wanted Seconds or Thirds. Good thing I did, I also packed extra drinks."
"Good thinking." Kari complemented.
"DigiPort Open!" Rini held her Light Pink Digivice to the screen and everyone was transported to the Digital World.
An instrumental, soft rock song was playing in the Gym. Piper ran through her Uneven Bars routine for the rest of her Gymnastics Teammates. Swinging from bar to bar as graceful as a dove. She did two flips and ended by standing on the bar, striking a pose.
"Great Piper." said the coach, a muscular man with dark hair and a black goatee. "Now let's see your dismount."
Piper nodded and did a triple flip off the bar and stuck her landing, striking her finished pose. Applause from her teammates followed.
After the applause died down, the majority of the girls looked towards the doorway, noticing someone watching Piper's routine.
"Piper, who's that?" asked one girl who had duel black-blonde hair.
Piper turned her head and noticed that the man watching her from the doorway was none other than her older brother, Darien Shields. She gasped, then smiled and ran into her brother's arms.
Darien picked up Piper and swung her around, both of them laughing.
"When did you get here!?" Piper asked, catching her breath.
"About a half hour ago." Darien answered.
"I would've picked you up if I'd known you were coming." Piper said.
"I wanted to surprise my little sister." Darien pulled Piper into another hug and kissed her forehead.
"Who's this Piper?" asked a teen from Piper's Gymnastics team.
"Coach, girls. This is my older brother, Darien." Piper introduced. "Darien, this is Coach and the girls."
"So this is the famous 'big brother'. " said a girl with dark brown hair.
Piper rolled her eyes and smiled.
The coach blew his whistle, and the girls hustled back to the gym floor. "Back to practice!"
Darien sat in the bleachers and continued to watch Piper's routines.
Back with the DigiDestined, everyone made it safely to the Digital World. Reye and Serena were so happy to be back.
"I don't see a Control Spire anywhere." Kari pointed out.
"Perfecto!" exclaimed Payson.
"It feels so good to be back." Reye sighed. "It feels like it's been a while."
"I know what you mean Reye." Serena agreed. "Do you think we'll see our digimon again?"
Reye turned to Serena and smiled, "I sure hope so."
"Me too." Serena smiled and the two girls giggled.
"Well let's get a move on gang." Catherine voted.
The group headed down a forest path, catching Reye and Serena up about the new team and digimon.
"So who exactly is this Digimon Emperor anyway?" Serena asked.
"One of the rudest jerks we've ever met for starters." Rini answered.
"And the meanest." TK added.
"He builds his control spires, tries to take over the Digital World, yada yada yada…" Davis followed.
"And he uses the Control Spires to hold control over the Digimon." Catherine added.
Serena and Reye nodded, showing they understood completely.
"Every time we've come here it's been to destroy a control spire." Payson informed. "But since it's Saturday we've decided to have a picnic and have some fun instead."
Reye smiled. "We never would've thought about having a picnic here in the old days." she turned to Serena, "Right?"
Serena nodded. "Yeah," she agreed. "because we would be worried about giant sized digital ants, among other things."
Reye and Serena giggled at that thought.
"We should find a place to lay out the picnic blanket and dish out the food." Cody voted.
"Sounds great to me." TK agreed.
"No it doesn't!" Davis interjected. "It's still way too early for lunch."
Kari and Catherine exchanged a glance and a smile. "I am a little hungry." Catherine sighed.
"Me too." agreed Kari.
Davis stopped and blushed. He turned back to the group and said "I'm starved. Let's eat."
TK smirked. "Why didn't I think of that?" he muttered to himself.
Payson and Serena laid out the picnic blanket in a nice open area. Payson then went on to unpack her duffle, laying out a buffet of food.
"Where did you get all that food Payson?" Rini asked.
"My mom made it last night." Payson answered. "When I told her we were going on a picnic, she insisted on making the spread."
"Well be sure to thank your mom for us when we get back home." Cody told her, sitting down with Armadillomon.
Hawkmon perched himself next to Payson. All the DigiDestined sat down with their digimon and began digging into the food they had.
"I also have a special treat that Piper made." Payson added, digging through a plastic sack. She pulled out individually wrapped chocolate covered rice balls. "She made enough for us, and the digimon, to have at least two, plus extra."
Serena's face lit up. "I haven't had one of those since I was a kid. I would love one."
Payson smiled, handing the blonde one of the tasty treats she so much loved, and missed.
The time was around eleven-ish when Gymnastics practice finally let out.
"Catch you guys tomorrow." Piper called, waving to the rest of her team.
She and Darien headed out to the parking lot.
"So catch me up here, how've you been?" Darien asked once they were outside.
Piper smiled and dug out her keys, "Well, first off Matt and I started our band and we're pretty famous." she giggled. "Second, Gymnastics has been great, finally something else I'm good at besides saving the world from monsters."
Darien chuckled as he slid into the passenger seat of Piper's car. Piper threw her duffle in the back, put on her black sunglasses, and started up the car, carefully pulling out of the parking lot and onto the road.
"So where to for lunch?" Piper asked, smiling.
"You choose, anywhere you want." Darien replied.
Piper giggled. She turned up the radio, playing the CD of her band over the stereo system.
The DigiDestined were quietly enjoying their picnic lunch.
"What do you want Hawkmon?" Payson asked her partner.
"I'll have whatever Armadillomon is having." answered the Rookie.
"He's having Sushi." Payson informed.
"Excellent." Hawkmon said. "I'll have one Sushi please."
Armadillomon smiled. "Coming right up." he said, tossing a roll to Hawkmon.
The small roll bounced off the blanket and started rolling down the hill.
"Come back, little sushi!" Hawkmon called, running after his food.
Payson ran after her partner, calling, "Wait, Hawkmon, come back! It's just a California Roll!"
"Yes, well, it's rolling all the way back to California!" Hawkmon called back.
Reye and Serena watched them run off. They looked at each other and nodded.
"We'll be right back guys." Serena said.
"We're gonna make sure Payson and Hawkmon don't run into trouble." Reye added.
The two older DigiDestined ran off after Payson and Hawkmon.
"Payson! Hawkmon!" Reye and Serena called.
They took a few more steps and suddenly fell through a pitfall trap and landed in a dark forest.
"Wake up Reye." Payson's voice said. "Serena, wake up." the young teen shook their shoulders.
The two girls groaned and sat up.
"You two okay?" Payson asked.
"The last thing I remember is…" Serena started to say.
"We were falling." Reye finished.
"We all did." Payson added. "Look at that."
She looked off in the distance, where she pointed out the silhouette of a Control Spire.
"So what is that?" Serena asked.
"It's a Control Spire." Payson answered.
"That means that the Digimon Emperor controls this area." Hawkmon added.
Seconds later a collection of voices was heard. The three girls looked ahead and noticed lots of pairs of red eyes staring at them from a ways in the forest. As the moonlight hit them, the digimon were revealed to be Gekomon and Otamamon.
"Princess Serena." chanted the Gekomon.
"Princess Reye." chanted the Otamamon.
The two older DigiDestined breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their digimon friends from their past.
"Relax you two." Reye sighed. "It's just some Gekomon and Otamamon."
"How do you know that Reye?" Payson asked, a bit scared.
"Because they're our friends." Serena added.
"They don't look too friendly." Hawkmon pointed out. He looked down at their feet and saw the dark rings around the Gekomon's feet and Otamamon's waists. "Now while they're wearing those Dark Rings."
The larger heard of the two digimon then charged at the three DigiDestined females who ran as fast as they could away from the digimon.
While running close behind, Serena tripped on a tree root and fell to the ground. Reye skidded to a stop and went to help her friend. She knelt down
"Geeze guys if theses are your friends I'd hate to meet your enemies!" Payson exclaimed.
"It isn't their fault." Serena manged to say. "This is awful. I wish I had Palmon here to protect me."
Reye gritted her teeth. "Ravenmon, I wish I had you here right now."
Suddenly ten vines appeared out of the bushes and grabbed hold of the DigiDestined.
"Palmon?" Serena muttered.
The girls were yanked into the bushes just as a dark spiral flew out and created a dust could once it hit the ground.
"Ravenmon?" Reye questioned.
The Gekomon and Otamamon ran right on past the bushes not knowing the girls were gone.
"I heard you needed a vine." Palmon said as she released the girls.
Serena's blue eyes started to fill with tears, as did Palmon's. The two partners ran to each other and reunited in a tearful embrace.
Ravenmon flew into Reye's arms. The raven-haired teen giggled and held her partner close.
As Serena and Palmon embraced tearfully, Reye and Payson rolled their eyes and held their bird-like digimon.
"Okay you two knock it off!" Reye exclaimed.
"If you get any happier I'll start to cry." Hawkmon added.
The two partners stopped crying and tried to pull out of the embrace.
"I'm caught in your vines." Serena said.
"I'm caught in your hair." Palmon rebuffed.
Serena counted to three and they both pulled apart.
"Enough reminiscing you guys we're in serious trouble here." Ravenmon interjected.
"Ravenmon is right." Palmon agreed. "This area is called the night forest and it's being controlled by the Digimon Emperor."
"So what can we do to regain control?" Reye asked.
The black bird digimon perched herself on her partner's shoulder. "We have to destroy that Spire."
"No problem!" Serena exclaimed. "I've been living in New York! Compared to getting a taxi, that should be a piece of cake."
"But we can't do it alone." Payson pointed out
"Right." Hawkmon agreed. "Better contact the others and tell them where we are."
Payson pulled out her D-Terminal and messaged Davis her location.
Near the picnic area, the other DigiDestined were searching for Payson and Hawkmon.
"Hawkmon! Payson!" Davis called. "Where are you?"
"Hawkmon! Payson! Where are you?" echoed the other DigiDestined.
Davis stopped in his tracks, "Huh?" he mumbled. "This place has some echo."
"Oh boy." Catherine sighed.
"I'm trying to get through to Davis but so far no luck." Payson grunted. She held her red Digivice in her hand and clenched it.
Davis held his blue Digivice and a faint, blinking blue light appeared on the screen, "I think that might be Payson but the signal's kinda weak." he said to the others.
"The Digimon Emperor must be blocking the signal somehow." Rini said, figuring it was the best bet as to why they couldn't communicate.
In his liar, the Digimon Emperor chuckled to himself.
"What a way to spend my weekend." he said. "Getting rid of unwanted weeds in my garden."
He looked at the screen and watched Payson, Serena, Reye, and their digimon try and get a hold of the others, to no avail.
"Who would be the best choice to clear them out?" asked the Digimon Emperor.
"The Roachmon brothers." answered Wormmon.
"Summon them immediately!" ordered the Digimon Emperor.
The small Rookie obeyed and summoned the two Champion level Digimon to the Night Forest area.
"There's no answer." Payson whimpered after her last failed attempt to contact her friends.
All the girls and digimon sighed in unison.
"No answer." said the Roachmon brothers in unison. "We didn't even hear the question." they crawled up closer to the DigiDestined girls. "Hope we're not bugging you."
Payson, Serena, and Reye huddled together and screamed.
"It's the Roachmon Brothers!" exclaimed the three partner digimon.
"Hi, I'm Roachmon." said the first Roachmon.
"And I'm his twin brother, Roachmon." followed the second digimon of the same first Roachmon continued, "I use my Garbage Dump attack to trash my enemies."The second added, "And I throw my Yard Sale Bombs to wipe out my opponents and clean out my garage."
The two brothers began to argue when they realized only three of the DigiDestined were in the area. After a few minutes of arguing, the two decided to combine their attacks.
"And we are outta here!" Reye exclaimed, picking up Ravenmon.
The three DigiDestined ran as fast as they could, carrying their digimon partners. The Roachmon brothers continued to attack them from the air.
"They were ten feet away and you missed!" screamed the second Roachmon.
"Don't go blaming me, you're the one who missed them." rebuffed the first Roachmon.
"Boy, they sure do argue like brothers." Payson sighed. "Man, I'm sure glad me and my sister don't fight like that. Piper is basically my best friend." she thought to herself.
Hawkmon cleared his throat, "Uh Payson we seem to be in a bit of a sticky situation." he pointed out, "Don't you think it's time?"
"Right." Payson nodded and grabbed her red Digivice. "Dig Armor Energize!"
"Hawkmon armor Digivolve to…Halsemon: The Wings of Beauty."
"Climb on my back Payson." said the bird like armor digimon.
Payson nodded and jumped on her digimon's back. She clung to his red fur as he ascended into the air. Halsemon did a 180° turn and doubled back to attack the Roachmon brothers.
He flew past Serena and Reye, who watched him in awe. "Wow." sighed Serena. "That armor digivolving is so fashionable."
Halsemon flew right into the Roachmon brothers' path and used his 'Eagle Eye' attack. But the attack didn't phase them that much, they just went on with their assault. All Halsemon could basically do was dodge them. When he dodged them a second time, the two Roachmon crashed into the ground.
"I have an idea Payson!" Reye called.
"What is it?" asked the younger DigiDestined.
"The Roachmon don't seem to be too smart." Reye pointed out. "We can use them to help destroy the tower."
"Perfecto, nice idea!" Payson winked.
Reye turned to Serena, "And we can help." she said.
Reye pulled out her upgraded sailor staff. It held a ruby-red orb the sat on a pedestal with the symbol for Mars etched into the orb. "Mars Planet Power!" In a pale red flash, Reye became her newer, upgraded version of Sailor Mars. Her skirt was the same color red as before with a purple and pale red stripes on the trim. She wore red leggings and red and black short, heeled boots. Her shoulder pads were pale red with red trim and red sleeves leading down to her white gloves. The ribbon in the center of her chest was dark purple with a red, 5-pointed star in the center.
Serena nodded and took out her white, heart-shaped brooch. Hers was upgraded as well, in addition to its normal shape, wings were added to either side of the brooch. "Eternal Moon Power!" In a bright, white flash, Serena became Sailor Moon, upgraded as well. She wore white, knee-high boots with a red trim and a yellow skirt with red and blue trim. Her shoulder pads were pink with red trim and small wing barrettes were added to the red trim on her white gloves. The ribbon on her chest had a feathery-wing design and had her heart brooch in the center.
Ravenmon and Palmon had awe in their eyes when they saw their partners in their upgraded sailor soldier uniforms.
Up above, the Roachmon brothers were still fighting Halsemon, who just kept dodging their attacks.
"You know what to do Halsemon." Payson told her partner as the Roachmon began to chase them in the sky.
Down below, the two Sailor Scouts found an old spotlight and switched it on. They shone it right on the control spire and waited for the Roachmon to fly right into it.
"This just might work." Eternal Sailor Moon giggled.
Sailor Mars gasped and turned around. A pair of red eyes were staring right at her, "Or not. We have company."
The dark figure stepped out and it turned out to be Ogremon.
"It's Ogremon." Palmon pointed out.
"Yeah but look at his upper arm," Ravenmon added, "It has a dark ring on it."
"That means the Digimon Emperor is controlling him as well." Mars grunted.
"Palmon and I will take care of him, you help out Payson and Halsemon." Eternal Sailor Moon ordered. "You ready Palmon?"
"Ready Sailor Moon!" Palmon answered as she took a fighting stance.
Mars sighed and placed her hand on her friend's shoulder, "Be careful, we don't know if it's the same Ogremon that we know from before."
Sailor Moon nodded, "I have a feeling that it is, but I'll be careful."
Mars and Ravenmon went to man the spotlight while Palmon and Sailor Moon faced off against Ogremon.
Eternal Sailor Moon pulled out her Eternal Tiare, which is a small, white staff with a pink and gold sphere on the top, and held it out in front of her.
"By the power as Sailor Moon, I will save you, dear Ogremon." Sailor Moon thought to herself as she stared at her friend.
Halsemon fired his 'Eagle Eye' at the Control Spire and a few cracks appeared. Sailor Mars clasped her hands together and threw them apart, summoning a huge fire rope. "Mars Spinning Fire Falcon!" she spun on her heals and unleashed the flame towards the Spire. In mid-air it took the form of a falcon and made several more cracks in the spire as well. "Now Ravenmon!"
The small rookie nodded. "Ravenmon digivolve to…Falconmon."
Sailor Moon's weapon began to glow white, "Go Palmon!" she called.
Palmon nodded. Both she and Sailor Moon began to glow white as well.
"Palmon warp digivolve to…Ebonwumon!" Just as Palmon achieved her Mega level, Sailor Moon became Princess Serena.
"What's that light down there?" Halsemon asked from above.
Payson looked down as the light faded, and she saw Ebonwumon and Princess Serena. "Wow, that's just like the first time, three years ago." she sighed.
"What is it Payson?" asked Halsemon.
"About three and a half years ago, the previous DigiDestined team were fighting their toughest enemy to date, VenomMyotismon." Payson started. "He was very big and very powerful…" as she spoke, she remembered when she witnessed the mega Digivolutions.
Flashback
Payson was just thirteen years old and she was standing beside Catherine/Super Melody and Ziramon.
"Are you sure this is safe?" Payson asked Super Sailor Melody.
"Yes I am." replied the scout. "It's the only shot we have at winning this thing."
Payson watched as Ziramon fired her attack and suddenly Piper, Mina, Serena, and Rini were engulfed in a bright, white light.
Through the bright light, Payson could see the transformation her sister was undergoing. She could see the gold and silver colors change to white and Piper's outfit change completely. Her top and skirt seemed to mold together and become a white flowing gown with on stripe across her right shoulder. Her tiara was replaced with a crescent moon mark and three rose barrettes appeared on either side of her hair. The gold trim on her boots turned to white and the back ribbon of the Sailor uniform was completely gone, as were her gold trimmed white gloves.
Payson stared in awe as the light faded from around her sister. Piper gently turned her head and smiled at Payson.
Payson smiled back at her sister.
End Flashback
"I see." said Halsemon.
Payson nodded. "With the help of Ebonwumon, we can win this battle easily."
Falconmon flew up with Sailor Mars on her back. "You ready Payson?"
The younger DigiDestined nodded.
The two girls and their digimon stood ready for the Roachmon brothers' next attack.
Down below, Princess Serena and Ebonwumon stood facing a dark-ring controlled Ogremon.
"It's me Ogremon, remember?" Serena said to the digimon. "Remember those years ago when you helped us DigiDestined save the world from the Dark Masters?"
Ogremon didn't seem to budge at Serena's sentiment. All he did was stare at her and Ebonwumon.
The two headed tortoise Mega looked above and saw the Roachmon fly straight for Payson and Halsemon, and Sailor Mars and Falconmon.
"Get ready Ebonwumon." Serena said to her partner.
She climbed onto her digimon's back and carefully up her neck so she could stand on the top. Ebonwumon watched the Roachmon brothers as they flew right into the Control Spire.
"Now!" called Serena.
Sailor Mars threw a small paper talisman in the air and used her super attack, 'Mars Flame Sniper'. The flaming arrow pierced the talisman and it erupted into a bright light, causing the Roachmon brothers to crash into the spire.
Ebonwumon fired her 'Double Dragon Wave' attack and combined it with Falconmon's 'Falcon Flame' attack. The combined two caused the Control Spire to be completely destroyed.
As the sky brightened, Ebonwumon de-digivolved to Togemon, and Serena changed back into her Eternal Sailor Moon form.
Payson's signal came in clear on Davis' Digivice once the Spire was destroyed. Catherine received a message from Payson saying that she, Reye, and Serena destroyed the Control Spire in the area they were in.
"Way to go Payson." Rini cheered.
"That's our girl." TK added, smiling.
The black rings on the two Roachmon brothers and Ogremon broke off and dissipated once they hit the ground.
"What happened?" Ogremon asked. He turned around and saw Sailor Mars and Sailor Moon standing in front of him with their Champion digimon beside them.
"It's okay Ogremon." said Eternal Sailor Moon. "You were being controlled by the Digimon Emperor, but that Control Spire is gone so you won't have to worry about him anymore."
"At least not in this area." added Sailor Mars.
"It's my house!" yelled the first Roachmon.
"I'm the one paying rent!" screamed the second Roachmon.
The two digimon soon got into a fight of their own, much to the dismay of the DigiDestined and digimon.
"In some families they're better off having only one child." Payson said.
"You're right there Payson." agreed Eternal Sailor Moon.
"Though in cases like this, they're better off not having any children at all." added Sailor Mars.
"This is normal for the Roachmon brothers." Ogremon informed.
The two digimon flew into the sky and continued to argue.
Halsemon nudged Payson's shoulder.
"What is it Halsemon?" Payson asked her armor digimon.
"Davis and the others are coming." he answered. "Look." Halsemon looked forward and long behold it, Davis, TK, Cody, Rini, Kari, Catherine, their digimon partners, and the heard of Gekomon and Otamamon came running towards them.
Once they were all together, Payson introduced Falconmon and Togemon to the rest of the team.
"This is Togemon, Serena's digimon." Payson introduced, pointing to the giant cactus-like Champion. "And this one here is Reye's partner, Falconmon." she pointed to the bird like digimon.
"You can count on us to protect this area from the Digimon Emperor." squawked Falconmon.
"We promise." added Togemon.
Reye and Serena exchanged glances and smiled. Serena leaned against Togemon's red boxing glove, while Reye caressed the feathers on Falconmon's neck before hugging her.
"We know we can count on you, we always have." they sighed.
"Call us if you need us." Kari said.
"You bet." the two champion digimon nodded.
When everyone returned home it was about sunset.
"Well that was a fun way to spend a Saturday." Davis said as the group walked out of the school.
By the front gate stood Darien and Piper.
"How was the picnic?" Piper asked.
"Great." Catherine answered, smiling. Payson nodded in agreement.
The group walked out of the gate and stood on the sidewalk.
"Have a safe flight back to New York." Rini said, after hugging Serena and Darien.
"Thanks." Serena smiled. "And you all keep up the good work."
Piper and Payson gave their older brother one last hug before he and Serena set off.
The sun was nearly set as Piper, Payson, and Catherine were on the way home.
"So tell me again what happened Payson." Piper said as she looked at her sister in the rearview mirror.
"Well while we were fighting the two Roachmon, Serena and Palmon faced Ogremon." Payson started. "Then all of a sudden Serena began to glow and in a flash, she was in her Princess form and Palmon had somehow digivolved to Mega."
"And the Spire was still in tact when it happened?" asked Catherine, who sat in the passenger seat.
Payson nodded. "Yeah. Seeing that again made me remember the time it first happened, back when you guys defeated VenomMyotismon."
Piper blinked and sighed, "That is one enemy I would rather forget." she said. "Part of me hopes that you new kids won't have to face someone as powerful as him and the Dark Masters."
"You never know sis." Payson said, as she stroked a sleeping Poromon.
Catherine sighed and petted a sleeping Nalamon. She gazed out to the side and watched as the streetlights came on as the sun had completely set.
"I just hope we can find some way to defeat the Digimon Emperor." she thought.
