Digimon Disciples: Digital Universal Animals
By Scentomon
Episode 6: Hiss of the Catilas
Author's Notes: I wanted to upload two chapters on this New Year's, with this episode being one of them. The other was to be the chapter for 'Name's Takeru Ishida', but I'm kind of stuck in that story at the moment, though it would continue on. Since I'm uploading this after some time, some differences might be noticed, but I assure you, the differences also exist in the previous episodes.
Eid Mubarak to Muslims around the world, and happy new year's in general. There were events that I wrote down that occurred in a way which I didn't want them to occur, but for one thing, they came out like that, and I was really pressured to finish this episode before new year's. Also, mentally in my mind, there were certain more events in this episode, but didn't appear here. I'll have to suffice with this.
This should be a real treat for a few readers, since my last update was on my previous birthday. Enjoy! Remia...
Universal Animals! Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon Souls are the Heroes! Elect to Variable! Famonaz Elect! Digimon! Digital Monsters! Digimon Souls are the Heroes! The Cat Souls of Legend...

"Sanusin here, previously on Digital Universal Animals: Tamusai explained to Dolodee much about the Digital Universal Animals, but their father threw them out of the house. They met up with Yamuchi, and the three decided on searching for a new home, but trouble arrived, just after Galactic Otamon and Dolodee went through some sort of tunnel. The wild dragon animal soul attacked, and Vailmon; Chaos Otamon and Chargemon were no match for him.
"Carlos and Sanusin were knocked unconscious, and the wild animal soul was about to finish Tamusai off, but a new animal soul appeared to save the day. The tamed lion animal soul fought the wild dragon animal soul, while Tamusai; Carlos and Sanusin were all withdrawn from battle. Tamusai reappeared in the home Yamuchi made up, in the realm of time, their new home.
"Yamuchi went back to Earth, and spied on Dave, quickly discovering some alarming news from him, since through his spying, Yamuchi discovered Dave as being an alien. Back in the realm of time, Yamuchi explained to Tamusai and Dolodee about the whole alien/spy stuff he knew about, but stopped when Tamusai blurred, and eventually vanished. On with the conclusion."
Heather's eyes stirred, and at first her eyesight was blurry, but upon opening her eyes completely, she saw clearly. The first thing she noticed was that she was sitting on some sort of chair, in an empty room. The strange thing was she wasn't tied to the chair in anyway. Heather glanced around the room, noticing natural light coming from the walls; ceiling and floor. The light was green.
She knelt down and touched the floor, feeling it being alive; smooth and soft. Curious, she stood back up at her feet and walked to a thin part of the wall. Upon reaching it, she glanced out and gasped.
"It's good to see you awake." A feminine voice stated.
Heather turned towards the voice startled, and her eyes widened. The feminine form smiled. The form was as tall as a grown female human, with her skin being silver slime, with a blue cape behind her. Four pairs of silver tentacles came out of her spine from behind. She had four horizontal eyes: two pairs below each other, with the eyes being purple. Besides the tentacles, the form had a pair of arms and hands, and a pair of legs.
All of them were of silver slime, with a white robe covering most of her body, which didn't include her head; hands and arm; lower thighs and legs, but the rest was covered by the white robe, tightened around the form's waist. The face wasn't a normal human form, but was more like a dinosaur's, with her head flat; small and two silver horns coming out from the back of her head. Heather knew it was that form that talked with her for one thing.
And for another, Heather knew she was in front of an alien. She was frozen in place, completely speechless. The alien shook her head.
"You don't need to be worried about me. Don't fear us. I give you my word we won't harm you." The alien assured.
"... How-How can I-I be sure?" Heather asked.
"Because Yamuchi met one of our kind, stationed back on Earth, being a male though." The alien replied.
Heather raised her eyebrow, "You're female?" She asked.
"Duh!" The alien replied. "Even all sorts of alien species have male and female genders, or how else would we reproduce?"
Heather blushed, and chuckled, getting over her fear.
"How do you know Yamuchi?" Heather asked, slowly approaching the alien.
The alien nodded, "Now that's more like it. I know who you are, but my name is Streanna of the Distanolaython. I know of Yamuchi, otherwise also known as Travis or Ammaar, because my specie has been watching the progress from this location on Earth, and have specifically been watching you; Yamuchi and those that are like you and Yamuchi." She explained.
Stopping in front of her, Heather blinked.
"You mean as Galactic Team?" Heather asked.
"Yes, since that's what you Warriors of Space call yourselves as a group." Streanna replied.
"Where am I?" Heather asked.
"... Considering space, you're now in the atmosphere of Jupiter, believe it or not. As for this place that's giving you shelter, it's a capital starship, completely made out of Biolure: a growing intelligent organ. Others from my kind are also on this capital starship, with numerous females and males around." Streanna replied.
"... You said Yamuchi met one of you kind? What do you mean by that?" Heather asked.
"Someone you would know as Dave, Dave Stablin. He's stationed on Earth, to observe events that's happening and report back to us. For your knowledge, we were the ones who sent the warning to Earth, warning them of Solartan approaching. At the moment Solartan is closer to Earth than we are, but our capital starship won't be sensed by their own starships, because we're in Jupiter's atmosphere, which jams or disrupts all types of sensors." Streanna explained.
"... I understand about the Subspace Missiles being aimed at the Solartan vessel now. Just two other questions: How was I brought here? And where is the Solartan vessel located now?" Heather asked.
"Distanolaython have the technology to retrieve beings from other dimensions, something that other species don't have, as far as we know. As for the location of the Solartan vessel... It's hiding behind the moon, Lady Eaglilas. We've been listening to transmissions between the vessel and some location from Earth, and we know that there's a spy from your specie that is working for Solartan. The Emperor of Solartan is in that vessel." Streanna explained.
"Lady Eaglilas?" Heather asked.
Streanna shook her head, "No more questions for now. I'll take you on the tour of our capital starship. Is that fine with you?"
"I'd like that." Heather nodded.
'Travis is going to worry about me, as would others.' Heather thought, leaving the room with Streanna.
Unknown to her, Streanna, like the rest of Distanolaython, were telepathic, and so she was capable of knowing what Heather was thinking.
Nathan nervously walked into Sacramento School, with his school bag with him, and in his Galactic Team uniform. He hope he won't have to run into anybody, especially people like Spencer.
"There you are? Where have you been, and where are Heather and Travis?" Mr. Miczu asked, approaching Nathan.
Nathan remembered what Travis told him about Mr. Miczu, and stopped nervously. Nathan remained silent and didn't reply to Mr. Miczu, who was still approaching Nathan. Thankfully, Dave stopped beside Nathan and knelt down in front of him.
"Nathan, there's something urgent I need to tell you." Dave remarked.
Mr. Miczu stopped, while Dave stood up and faced Mr. Miczu. Dave knew that Mr. Miczu was the spy for Solartan, and he scowled at the principle. Mr. Miczu was confused.
"I need to talk with Mr. Stachi myself, if you don't mind." Mr. Miczu requested.
Dave raised an eyebrow, "Oh, in that case, I do mind."
Mr. Miczu snarled, "As you like. I'll deal with you and Mr. Stachi later." He decided, walking away.
Dave sighed in relief.
"What is it Dave?" Nathan asked.
Dave turned to face Nathan, "We can't talk here. Let's go to the males' soccer field."
"O.K." Nathan nodded.
With that, Dave walked side by side with Nathan, heading towards the males' soccer field. It took sometime for them to get there, but they eventually did. They quickly noticed that they weren't alone though. Mr. Actolith was there, with Kelly; Lawrence; Spencer and others. Nathan glanced at Spencer, but quickly looked away, noticing Spencer was staring at him. Mr. Actolith approached Dave and Nathan.
"What is it? Want to join the soccer team Mr. Stablin?" Mr. Actolith asked.
"Actually the situation is more dire than that." Dave replied.
"What do you mean?" Mr. Actolith asked.
"Travis; Heather; Kelly and Lawrence. I know about them all, and about Solartan, and Earth's subspace missiles." Dave replied, whispering.
Mr. Actolith's eyes widened, "Who are you?" He asked.
"Just a friend. Besides, I need to talk with you and Galactic Team for a moment." Dave whispered.
Reluctantly Mr. Actolith nodded. He walked back to the students, and spoke with them for awhile, before returning with Kelly and Lawrence.
"What do you want?" Kelly asked.
Dave heard his question, but watched the others, beginning some sort of soccer practice of some sort.
"For one thing, do we have a more quieter place to talk?" Dave asked.
"Of course. Follow me." Mr. Actolith replied, walking.
Dave; Nathan; Kelly and Lawrence all followed Mr. Actolith. Kelly and Lawrence stared at Nathan, and Nathan noticed, but only shrugged. Mr. Actolith led them all to the locker room, and with Dave being the last to enter, Mr. Actolith closed the locker door behind them.
"For one thing, what's going on?" Dave asked.
"We'd like to ask you the same thing." Lawrence replied.
"I mean with the soccer stuff." Dave reminded.
"Oh. I have the intention of forming the soccer team for this city, on the school level of course. I wanted to train students who volunteered to enter the team, and to see who's good, or who's bad. That was my plan B for forming Sacramento Cats, if plan A failed, which it did." Mr. Actolith explained.
"I see." Dave nodded.
He turned around from the group, and in a few second turned into his original true alien form, but he didn't turn around. Mr. Actolith; Kelly and Lawrence all tensed, while Nathan was confused, from what Travis had told him and Heather earlier about Dave. Was Travis wrong?
"Elect! Animal Soul!" Kelly and Lawrence yelled in unison.
"There's no need for that." Dave muttered.
"Chargemon!"
"Chaos Otamon!"
Chargemon and Chaos Otamon braced themselves, for any attacks Dave might send at them. Dave sighed and turned around, revealing his full alien form, in the same form that Travis saw him in.
"Are you a spy?" Chaos Otamon asked, growling.
Calmly, Dave shook his head.
"That's a negative. Let me explain." Dave requested.
"Then explain." Chargemon urged.
Unnoticed, Nathan went over to the wall and took some device out of his school bag. He put it on the wall and it stuck. However, Dave sensed Nathan's movements, even though he didn't turn to him. Probing Nathan's mind, Dave found out that it was some sort of advanced camera, from which Travis would hear and see them from the Realm of Time. Knowing this, Dave knew that Travis must have been watching them at the moment, once Nathan had the device activated.
"... I'm from a specie called Distanolaython. We call ourselves that anyway. For one thing, Dave Stablin is just a... covering name of mine. My real name is Tamuchi Blinkshadow. I've been sent here to observe any events and report back to 'Empress Tentacleshield'. Sir Catilas has confronted me before, and he knows who I am now, who you better know as Travis Actonal. Lady Eaglilas is safe in 'Empress Tentacleshield'.
"'Empress Tentacleshield' is a capital starship in the atmosphere of Jupiter, where it's well protected. You all know Lady Eaglilas as Heather Stachi. I was allowed and given permission to expose myself to you all, just as long as all of you promise that you won't tell anyone who I really am. You must have all known about Earth receiving an alien warning... well, that was from 'Empress Tentacleshield'.
"We know about Mr. Miczu and Codelimin Training Institute, as well as Solartan, and the fact that one of their capital starships is in orbit behind the moon, out of Earth's sight. Also, as for the animal souls... It's a legend in my specie, which we address whoever possess them as Warriors of Space. In overall, there are 10 animal souls in all. That of the cat is the leader. Any questions? You two can stand down, Sir Pantherilas and Sir Rhinoilas." 'Dave' explained.
"My sister is alive?" Nathan asked.
"That's true Sir Dolphinilas. Alive and safe on 'Empress Tentacleshield'." Tamuchi replied.
"I'll need to speak with White Fox and Misterim Arteenlow about this." Mr. Actolith muttered.
Tamuchi shook his head, "Not here and not now, but when you do, tell them about it here Tanusagam. We know of the Nova Alliance, but we've been kept to ourselves, for now."
Tamuchi blurred, and changed back into his human disguised form. Dave nodded.
"I'll leave you all for now. I advise that Sir Rhinoilas and Sir Pantherilas return to their original human forms as well." Dave advised, walking out of the locker room.
Mr. Actolith closed the door behind them.
"Reelect." Chaos Otamon and Chargemon whispered in unison.
Both glowed, and returned to their human forms. Kelly folded his arms.
"Sir Rhinoilas... I like the ring behind that." Kelly muttered.
Lawrence chuckled, "I'd bet."
"Can we trust him?" Nathan asked.
Mr. Actolith nodded, "We can... Now Kelly and Lawrence, back to the field for training. I need to talk with Nathan in private."
Lawrence and Kelly both nodded, and left the locker room, closing the door behind them.
"It seems there's a lot for you to explain." Mr. Actolith started, staring at Nathan.
Nathan glanced at the device, and then back at Mr. Actolith. He shrugged.
"I guess there's no harm. This is going to take awhile." Nathan warned.
"We have the time." Mr. Actolith assured, taking a seat.
Nathan took a seat beside Mr. Actolith, and begun relating what had happened since he had left the field with his sister and Travis.
"What are we doing here?" Jeri asked.
Ryo stared at the Codelimin Research Corporation building in front of them, with the rest of the Tamers in a straight line, beside each other, with their Digimon in front of them. Guilmon was in front of Takato; Actomon: Leomon's rookie form, was in front of Jeri; Monodramon was in front of Ryo; Renamon was in front of Rika; Terriermon was in front of Jenrya; Kotemon was in front of Kenta; Impmon was in front of Ai and Mako.
Labramon was in front of Uehara; Kokuwamon was in front of Kazu; Lopmon was in front of Suzie, and Santimon: Calumon's rookie form, was in front Kai: Takato's cousin.
"Just the same as we are." A voice replied.
"Yeah, after you all destroyed the subspace missile sites around the world." Another feminine voice added.
The Tamers and their Digimon turned towards the voices, to the right, and saw none other than Yamaki; Riley and Talley. The Tamers were shocked to see them, as were their Digimon.
"What? But how could you three be here?" Kazu asked.
"That's a simple question." Riley remarked.
"With a long answer. You see, the subspace missile sites you destroyed won't even be effective towards the alien mothership." Yamaki explained.
"What?" Uehara asked.
"The subspace missiles weren't directed at the sun, but at the alien mothership. Even if they were aimed towards the sun, the heat of the sun would destroy them, before they impacted with the sun. Somehow, the alien mothership was warned and gained some sort of immunity towards the subspace missiles, and when launched at it back in our reality, the missiles didn't affect the alien mothership." Talley explained.
"So that means..." Rika started.
"That the solar system in our reality isn't destroyed, but I won't want to go back, much less think of what's happening in our reality now, considering the alien mothership didn't destroy Earth." Riley muttered.
Jeri moaned, "Either way, it was best for us to come here." She sighed.
Takato nodded, putting a supportive left hand on Jeri's right shoulder.
"So waiting to meet Ken once more Ryo?" Yamaki asked.
"What?" Takato asked, staring at Ryo.
"... Let's just go in. Everything would be explained inside." Monodramon urged.
Without any further talk, the Tamers; Yamaki, and his two assistants: Riley and Talley, walked onwards into the corporation's building. Ryo and Monodramon took the lead, while Takato and Guilmon were behind him. Last in line were Yamaki and his two assistants. Ken walked out of one of the rooms in the building, just ahead of Ryo and the Tamers, without noticing them, but Ryo noticed Ken, and stopped. Noticing his partner's reluctance, Monodramon took the initiative.
"Yo Ken!" Monodramon yelled.
Ken heard Monodramon, and stopped in his trails. He turned around to see Monodramon and Ryo in the lead, but he did notice the others behind Ryo, all the way back to Yamaki; Riley and Talley. Ken narrowed his eyes in confusion. He recognized Ryo, but he didn't know from where or when. Ken only recognized Ryo's face, but the past history was still locked up in his mind, and Ken didn't even remember Ryo's name.
"Do I know you from some where?" Ken asked, pointing at Ryo.
Takato saw Ken, and was totally speechless. Jeri held onto his right hand, with her left hand and smiled at Takato. Takato sensed it, but he was still speechless. Jeri knew of Takato's fandom towards the DigiDestined. Ryo shook his head.
"Once in the past. But that doesn't matter." Ryo muttered.
Ken did hear Ryo though, even though Ryo spoke in a low tone, and softly. Wormmon walked out of the room Ken walked out of, and noticed Ken staring in the opposite direction, frozen in place. Wormmon turned around to see what Ken was staring at, and his eyes went wide upon noticing Ryo and Monodramon.
"Ryo! Monodramon!" Wormmon exclaimed.
"Wormmon!" Monodramon smiled.
Half an hour later and the Tamers; their Digimon, and Yamaki and his two assistants were with the rest of the DigiDestined and their Digimon. The DigiDestined children weren't with their parents though. The only DigiDestined there were the Odaiba DigiDestined. Yamaki; Riley and Talley had just explained about the subspace missile sites, and their true purposes, stunning the DigiDestined and their Digimon into silence.
"So the missiles weren't directed at our sun then." Koushiro muttered, rubbing his chin.
Yamaki nodded, "That's quite true. The missiles were designed to destroy a hostile alien capital starship, but apparently, the capital starship had gained some sort of immunity or defense against the missiles."
"And we conclude that there's some spy here on Earth that sends transmissions up to the hostile capital alien starship, and that was how the alien starship was able to put up such defense. The same was in our world, most likely in the rest of yours included." Riley added.
"But where is this spy, and who is it?" Iori asked.
"We're not quite sure yet." Talley replied.
"Tell us more about your world." Miyako requested.
"Before we go into that, we have a request of our own." Ryo started.
"With a few questions ourselves." Takato asked.
"What are they?" Daisuke asked.
"We would like to all join you guys and gals, but not become part of the DigiDestined, because we are already the Tamers. You could say it's some sort of alliance." Henry informed.
"What about you three?" Koushiro asked, staring at Yamaki; Riley and Talley.
Yamaki shrugged, "It won't matter to us."
"We just ask for shelter." Riley added.
"And if it isn't much, security." Talley finished.
Koushiro chuckled, "No problem there. Radiance? Dragon?"
Taichi shrugged, "This corporation is all our home."
"Yeah. We have more than enough space to give shelter to them." Daisuke agreed.
'That answers one question.' Takato thought.
"Very well. Yamaki, you and your two assistants are welcome to stay in C.R.C. for as long as you want or need. Just remember, this was our home before it was yours, and you three are guests here." Koushiro decided.
Yamaki nodded, "We really appreciate that. If you won't mind, we'll take a tour by ourselves."
Koushiro shrugged, "Go ahead. But just don't chose any room, because you never know which room is already occupied."
"No need to worry about that." Riley assured, standing up.
With that, Yamaki; Riley and Talley all walked out of the room, leaving the Tamers; the Odaiba DigiDestined, and all their Digimon behind.
"What about the questions now?" Miyako asked.
"Yes. Well, one question of mine was already answered. Another is... Do all of you have nicknames?" Takato asked.
"I was wondering that myself." Jeri agreed.
"You're talking about Radiance and Dragon and such? Well, yes, we do all have nicknames. Taichi's Radiance, and Daisuke's Dragon. Mine is Chip; Miyako's Circuit; Sora's Dance; Iori's Fossil; Joe's Fountain; Mimi's Lilly of Sincerity; Hikari is Petal; Ken is Shadow or Spore; Yamato is Skate, and finally Takeru is Sky." Koushiro explained.
"I see." Takato muttered.
"What about the story about you two?" Rika inquired, glancing between Ken and Ryo.
"Actually Rika, part of that story is between most of us Odaiba DigiDestined and Ryo." Yamato informed.
"What?" Suzie asked.
"Since you know of most of our adventures in the Digital World, through your television and such, you would all probably know about when Koushiro mentioned when it was the second time we had Omnimon." Takeru explained.
"You mean like when all of you gave up your crests and such?" Kai asked.
"That's the one." Sora nodded.
The Tamers turned to Ryo. Ryo sweat-dropped.
'I knew it would come to this eventually.' He thought.
"... And here's the bridge of 'Empress Tentacleshield." Streanna informed, entering the bridge with Heather.
Both of them stopped just in front of the entrance they came from, and Heather remained speechless, glancing around the bridge. Another alien stood up, and went around, to show herself to Heather and Streanna. Streanna bowed.
"Empress." She greeted.
"Major Fairywings." The empress nodded.
The empress turned to Heather, and Heather saw no difference between the empress and Streanna, except the empress' eyes were gold in color, with the empress wearing a white cape, and gold robe around her body. Her tentacles were white in color, and her skin color was white. The horns were golden, coming out of the back of the empress' head.
"So welcome to my humble starship Lady Eaglilas. Do you have any questions for me?" The empress asked, with her tone being soft and sweet.
"Empress, we're receiving a transmission." One of the male alien officers informed.
"... Excuse me, but the questions would have to wait. Please, both of you take a seat." The empress offered.
She turned around, "Put it on the speakers." She ordered.
Streanna and Heather took seats behind the empress' 'throne' on the bridge, which was on higher ground.
-Empress... This is Captain Shadow Owl, of the S-13 Anihulman Pecker: Shadow Glide. With me are Captain Alpha Lion and Remira Yellow Deer. - The voice greeted.
The empress nodded, and the same male officer opened the transmission from the capital starship.
"This is Empress Foreen Tentacleshield, captain of the Empress Tentacleshield, and empress of the Distanolaython. We've received your transmission Anihulman. What is it that you would want?" The empress inquired.
-Empress... This is Remira Yellow Deer, in Captain Shadow Owl's Shadow Glide starship fighter. I'm aware that you know of my status in my specie. We also know of the Solartan capital starship in orbit behind the moon. We're here to help for one thing, and to retrieve a fellow Anihulman of ours, who is stranded on Earth. - The feminine voice explained.
Heather blinked, 'White Fox?'
"Greetings Remira... I'm am aware of your status in your specie. What kind of help do you offer?" The empress asked.
"Empress, our sensors detect one small fighter starship on our right. They're with us in Jupiter's atmosphere." The male officer informed.
The empress nodded, "We know of your stranded individual. By any chance, is his name White Fox?" She asked.
-... That's correct empress. How do you know? - Yellow Deer asked.
"Remira Yellow Deer of Anihuleph, you must understand that in this sort of atmosphere, no life sign sensors would sense us, but our transmission can be picked up by the Solartan starship." The empress warned.
-Very well. Requesting to board your vessel empress. Just me and a fellow individual from my specie. - Yellow Deer requested.
"Request accepted Remira... Lower the shields and let two Anihulmans on the vessel." The empress ordered.
"Yes empress." A female officer replied.
The empress turned to Heather and Streanna, who were both still sitting down.
"Major, you and our guest can go and greet our new guests." The empress decided.
Streanna sighed, standing up.
"Yes empress." She bowed.
Heather stood up, reluctantly, and Streanna grabbed hold of Heather's right arm, with one of her tentacles, and pulled her along. Heather gasped from the sudden feeling of the tentacle that was around her arm, and followed Streanna willingly.
"... And that's all that happened." Nathan finished.
For a few moments, Mr. Actolith was quiet, slowly nodding, while rubbing his chin.
"I see... Grab that box over there and bring it over." Mr. Actolith nodded towards one of two boxes.
Nathan glanced from the box to Mr. Actolith. Mr. Actolith grinned.
"Just grab it and follow me." Mr. Actolith urged.
Nathan nodded, and grabbed the box, following Mr. Actolith outside into the soccer field. Mr. Actolith let Nathan be the first one out, carrying the large box, and with his school bag around his shoulder. Mr. Actolith closed the locker room door behind himself, catching up with Nathan, and heading towards the students in the soccer field. Mr. Actolith stopped in front of the students. There was more than 24 students from different grades in the field, minus Nathan.
Mr. Actolith called for silence, and requested the students to all sit down in front of him neatly, with more than one line in front of him. Mr. Actolith kept Nathan by his side. Mr. Actolith took out a sheet of paper from his pocket, unfolded it and read it.
"Before I start reading this paper, I'd just like to say I know the soccer skills all of you have, and from previous P.E. periods I had with all of you, I know who to chose for the soccer team." Mr. Actolith explained.
The students remained quiet, but their numerous faces showed different feelings: shock; excitement; surprise, and fear.
"Now as for the 17 players who are going to form the Sacramento Cats Soccer Team!" Mr. Actolith started.
Sacramento Cats Soccer Team

All the players were there, except for Travis Actonal, and Mr. Actolith skipped him because he wasn't there. Upon hearing their names, the players all smiled and cheered. Those that didn't all frowned, and moaned, looking disappointed. Lawrence Tracker and Otameno Spiritife would do the starting kickoffs, and Lawrence Tracker was Sir Pantherilas. Cliff Ashton was to deal with both corner kicks, and Neil Jallivic was to deal with the free kicks.
Spencer Stachi was to deal with the all outside throws. As for the penalty kicks, it was starting with Al Jarnlee; Otameno Spiritife; Neil Jallivic; Cliff Ashton, and Truce Naneram. Ryan Fountain was once Heather's boyfriend in the past, for two years, almost three. Kale Spiritife was Otameno's younger brother. As Kelly Jawhiz was Sir Rhinoilas. Neil Jallivic was Travis' older brother. Alex; Peter, and Nasem were all in Neil's grade.
Most of the team was Muslim, while Peter was a Jew, and Daniel a Protestant Christian.
"... And now for the soccer uniforms, both Home and Away uniforms... Nathan if you would please open the box." Mr. Actolith requested
Nathan's eyes widened, 'I was carrying the soccer uniforms?! What was in the other box then?'
Nathan opened the box, and Mr. Actolith told the players that he would call them by their name to receive both their uniforms. At the top was Captain Travis Actonal's uniform: both home and away. Nathan stared at it for a few moments, and when Mr. Actolith noticed, he took the two uniforms out, and put them behind the box on the grass, with the captain's armband, still folded. Nathan glanced at Mr. Actolith, but quickly took out the next two uniforms.
The home uniform was a mixture of black and dark green. The jersey was dark green, with the number in back in black, with the first and surnames on the bottom back, with the name's team on the top back. On the front, on the chest to the upper right was the team's name and player's number in black, in smaller size than that behind it. On both shoulders were three black triangles, with the pointed end heading forwards down the front of the jersey.
The shorts were black in color, with two dark green strips down the sides of the upper thighs of the shorts. The socks was completely black. Even the shoes were with the uniform. The shoes were colored dark green with black shoelaces, and the team's name and number on the both sides of the shoes in black. The jacket was black, and was like the shirt in many ways, except the jacket was leather and had buttons.
The teams name was only on the front of the jacket, to the upper right of the chest, in dark green. The away uniform was also a mixture of black and dark green. The upper half of the shirt was black, while the lower half was dark green, both in front and back. With the names and numbers, they were in the same places on the jersey, both in front and back. However, where it was black on the jersey, the names and numbers were dark green.
And where it was dark green on the jersey, the names and numbers were black. Instead of having the first and surnames on the bottom of the away jersey in the back on the bottom, they were on top, while the team's name was on the bottom of the jersey's away back. The number was small on the back, and was in the upper back off of the away jersey. The shorts were dark green in color completely, and the socks were stripped first dark green and then black, down the sock.
For training, there was dark green t-shirts for home, and black t-shirts for away. From before, Mr. Actolith had the heights of every player, and so all the uniforms would fit the players.
"Lawrence Tracker! If you may, come and take your uniform." Mr. Actolith requested.
Lawrence stood up on his legs and went over to the box. He stopped in front of the box, and Nathan handed the uniforms over to Lawrence. Lawrence took his uniforms in his arms, and bowed to both Nathan and Mr. Actolith, before heading back to his sitting spot. Nathan took out the next uniforms.
'I wish I was in the team, then I would have a uniform, with my name and number on it.' Nathan thought.
"Kelly Jawhiz!" Mr. Actolith continued.
Kelly stood up on his legs and went over to the box. He stopped in front of the box, and Nathan handed the goalkeeper uniforms over to Kelly. Kelly took his goalkeeper uniforms in his hands, and bowed to both Nathan and Mr. Actolith, before heading back to his sitting spot. The goalkeeper uniform had outlined background miniature stretching cats on both jerseys, with the color of one jersey was purple: the home one, and the color of the away jersey was black.
The locations of the first and surnames; number and team name were in the same location as the rest of the team's jerseys', with both being in dark green. The shorts of the goalkeeper was orange, for the home uniform, and black, for the away uniform. The socks and shoes of the goalkeeper were the same as the rest of the team. The gloves were dark green in color, while the rest of the uniform was like the rest of the team. Nathan took out the next uniforms.
"Spencer Stachi!" Mr. Actolith announced.
Spencer stood up on his legs and went over to the box. He stopped in front of the box, and Nathan handed the uniforms over to Spencer, while Nathan kept his head down. Spencer just smiled at his younger brother, taking his uniforms in his hands, and bowed to Mr. Actolith. While heading back to his sitting spot, Spencer brought the home jersey close to his face, and his sniffed the jersey deeply. Nathan took out the next uniforms.
"Neil Jallivic!"
Neil stood up on his legs and went over to the box. He stopped in front of the box, and Nathan handed the uniforms over to Travis' older brother. Neil took his uniforms in his hands, and nodded his head in appreciation to both Nathan and Mr. Actolith. With his uniforms in his hands, Neil went back to his sitting spot. Nathan took out the next uniforms. Of course Nathan knew who was next, through the name of the player showing on the back of the home jersey.
"Al Jarnlee!"
Al stood up on his legs and went over to the box. He stopped in front of the box, and Nathan handed the uniforms over to Al. Al took his uniforms in his arms, and nodded to both Nathan and Mr. Actolith, before he headed back to his sitting spot, with his uniforms in his hands. Nathan took out the next uniforms.
"Truce Naneram!"
The names continued on, and when each player was called, the player went to the box, and Nathan handed them their uniforms. After a few moments, the last name of the team was called.
"Alex Glide!"
Alex stood up on his legs and went over to the box. He stopped in front of the box, and Nathan handed the uniforms over to Alex. Alex took the uniforms in his arms, and nodded to both Nathan and Mr. Actolith. With his uniforms in his hands, Alex went back to his sitting spot. Nathan glanced into the box, expecting to see it empty, but it wasn't empty. Nathan's eyes widened when he noticed his full name, and as assistant coach, though with no number and with the team's name.
"What about the rest of us?" One of the none chosen students asked.
Mr. Actolith shrugged, "I'm sorry to the rest of you who weren't chosen. I am aware, as are the ones who weren't chosen, to no offense that you were terrible in soccer, in one way or another. Now, the ones who weren't chosen can head back to their classes, or stay and watch, whatever you chose."
"What about the last player?" Nasem asked: #18 and substitute center.
"The last player isn't here now. When he shows up, he'll receive his uniforms." Mr. Actolith replied.
"So he's absent?"
"Can I take his place?"
Some of the students that weren't chosen quickly spoke up to take Travis' spot. Mr. Actolith sweat-dropped.
"I'm sorry, but are any of you named Travis Jallivic?" Mr. Actolith asked.
"Travis Jallivic!"
"Now he tells us!"
With that, the students that weren't chosen all stood up and dissembled. Some left the boys' soccer field, while others stayed, on the field, outside the soccer field itself, sitting in bleachers that were around the soccer field.
"Now, the substitutes are to go to the sidelines, while the rest of the team changes into their training uniforms in the locker room. Both goalkeeper are going to play, with the playing goalkeeper in his home uniform, and the substitute goalkeeper in his away uniform." Mr. Actolith decided.
The team players nodded, and most of them went into the locker, with Neil; Lawrence and Kelly staying behind. All three approached Mr. Actolith.
"So my brother is playing?" Neil asked.
Mr. Actolith nodded, "As the captain, in defense with the number 5."
"Did you chose him to be captain because of you-know-what?" Lawrence asked.
Mr. Actolith raised an eyebrow, "That did help in my decision, yes."
Neil sighed and rushed towards the locker room, keeping Lawrence and Kelly behind him.
"Which one of us is going to give Travis his uniforms?" Kelly asked.
Mr. Actolith took a momentarily swift glance at Nathan.
"Nobody. I'll keep the uniforms with me at the moment, and when Travis shows up, I'll give him his uniforms." Mr. Actolith replied.
"Where is he anyway?" Lawrence asked.
"Not in this dimension is all that I dare to say." Nathan smiled.
Lawrence and Kelly both rolled their eyes, before rushing towards the locker room, leaving Nathan and Mr. Actolith alone to talk. And Nathan did want to talk with Mr. Actolith, as Mr. Actolith did want to talk with Nathan also.
"... Am I going to be in the team?" Nathan asked.
Mr. Actolith nodded, "But as my assistant. Reviewing what happened to you; Travis and your older sister proved that you were worthy of it."
"It would be nice." Nathan nodded, smiling.
"Not only that, but I've talked with the girls' gymnastics coach, and she had agreed with me to form a cheerleading squad for the team." Mr. Actolith informed.
"... What? Why didn't you tell us earlier?" Nathan asked.
Mr. Actolith shrugged, "They'll find out on the first match, which is two weeks away."
"Could I wear the assistant coach's uniform now?" Nathan asked.
Mr. Actolith shook his head, "No. Not now, but when school is over, you can take it back with you, to wherever your shelter is."
At that moment, the teams came out in their training uniforms. It seemed that inside, the team had decided who would be home, and who would be away. Neil; Nasem; Alex; Peter and a few others were on the away training team.
A shadow was caste over the field, and every being stared upwards. Most were speechless, but for the present Galactic Team, they were enraged, including Nathan, even though he couldn't elect yet.
"Oh! Can I play?" A voice asked.
The head opened up and revealed a crystal black ball, with a person in it. Nobody recognized him, except Lawrence. Lawrence growled in his throat. With a glance at Mr. Actolith, Mr. Actolith nodded, and Lawrence and Kelly rushed back into the locker room. Unknown to them, two other players vanished out of sight. The shadow was the shadow of a hovering Garudamon, which was huger than the normal Garudamon, since this Garudamon wasn't natural, but artificial.
"How about you play with us you beast?!" Chargemon yelled.
"RHINO HORN!"
"Take this!" Chaos Otamon yelled.
"CHAOS CLAW!"
Both attacks collided on different places on Garudamon, but neither attack seemed to faze it, and the human in the seat on the black crystal ball laughed. Mr. Actolith hastily had the students that weren't chosen, leave the soccer field, with the team only remaining behind. Behind some bleachers, and out of sight from everyone around, yet a clear sight on the insuring battle, was none other than Sakuyamon. Dave rushed into the field and headed towards Mr. Actolith.
Chargemon took a stance in front of the team, which were together, and Chaos Otamon took a stance on the top of the locker room. Nathan remained with Mr. Actolith, and Mr. Actolith sensed Dave nearby, but didn't turn to look at him.
"Do you have any idea who that is?" Mr. Actolith asked, not turning his head.
"Annioutin from Codelimin Training Institute. I might need to infiltrate that company some time to know what they're capable of. Lawrence; Kelly; Heather and Travis all know of Annioutin, since they faced him before. He is the director and CEO of C.T.I." Dave explained.
"The first ones know him?" Nathan asked.
Dave nodded, "That they do. Look at Chaos Otamon. It's like he knows what to expect."
Mr. Actolith and Nathan glanced at Chaos Otamon, who was keeping his stance on the roof of the locker room. Chaos Otamon seemed more on the defensive, than on the offensive. The black crystal ball and Garudamon's artificial head turned back to Garudamon's own artificial head.
"For those who don't know me, I am Annioutin of C.T.I. Say hello to the institute's newest creation! Others would surely follow, and I have to say that we are experimenting on newer codelimin. Newer codelimin that were never seen before." Annioutin's voice explained, from Garudamon's head.
"And what's this? Only two animal souls to face me? This is too easy."
"More like four your rotten trash!" A voice exclaimed in the air.
Chaos Otamon; Chargemon and the ones on the ground all turned their attention towards the voice, and saw Malmainmon, hovering close to Garudamon. And comparing Malmainmon to Garudamon, Malmainmon was like a nail, or a tiny bead, compared to Garudamon.
"Really? That's better... But where is the fourth?" Annioutin's voice asked.
"Down here you rotten trash!" A voice yelled from the ground.
"LION PHOTONS!"
The attack collided into numerous random locations on the giant artificial Garudamon, but like the previous attacks, it didn't even scratch Garudamon. From inside, Annioutin's laughter was heard. It was noted that Malmainmon didn't rashly attack as his comrades, probably because he was aware that his attack won't faze the artificial Garudamon.
"... Are you all done?" Annioutin's voice asked.
"..." Annioutin's reply was met by silence.
"Good now I can have my grand entry." Annioutin's voice whispered.
"WING BLADE!"
Chaos Otamon; Malmainmon; Chargemon and Aimermon all gasped, as the replica of Garudamon's attack soared down towards the Sacramento Cats Team, including Chargemon; Dave; Mr. Actolith and Nathan. Noticing the threat, both Aimermon and Malmainmon rushed to intercept the attack. Malmainmon soared downwards after the attack, while Aimermon galloped towards it on all four.
Aimermon was the first to reach the attack and the attack collided into Aimermon, with Aimermon screaming in agony. Malmainmon landed behind Aimermon and held onto Aimermon from going back too far. However, the attack slashed through both Aimermon and Malmainmon, making Aimermon glow purple and Malmainmon glow blue, and while glowing shrink back to their human forms unconscious.
While holding the attack back, Mr. Actolith had the team split up and rush away out of the field. Dave grabbed hold of Nathan and rushed up to the roof of the locker room, by jumping up, and landing beside Chaos Otamon.
"This won't do any good..." Chargemon muttered.
"ARMOR PLATES!"
Wing Blade absorbed Armor Plates and Chargemon paled. Wing Blade collided in Chargemon and exploded, pinning Chargemon to the ground. A strong shockwave was spread around the field, and Chaos Otamon; Nathan and Dave all ducked, letting the shockwave pass above them and below them, while the short wall protected them.
'This isn't good. Where are the others?' Sakuyamon thought, watching the whole event.
She put up a shield to protect herself from the shockwave, and flying debris, yet she did feel the intense shockwave and it did force her back a few feet. Mr. Actolith shielded his face from the debris and tried his best to hold his footing. Once it was all done, Sakuyamon lowered her shield; Mr. Actolith looked up, as did Chaos Otamon; Dave and Nathan from their location.
It was noticed that three forms were all unconscious, on the ground. Nathan gasped, as he recognized one of the unconscious forms. It was revealed that the host of the animal soul of the dragon was Spencer Stachi, now was unconscious behind Truce Naneram, revealed as the host of the animal soul of the lion, also was unconscious, wearing their home soccer team's uniform.
The result of the explosion was a big crater in the soccer field, with Kelly at the bottom center of the crater. He was in his home soccer team's uniform and also was unconscious. Chaos Otamon growled, and glared up to the mechanical Garudamon. Annioutin's laughter was heard from inside. The mechanical Garudamon turned and stared down at Chaos Otamon; Nathan and Dave.
"Three down in one blow... Wow! I'm pretty good. This baby is better than I thought. Only one more pest to deal with." Annioutin's voice noted.
"It'll take more than one attack to take me down!" Chaos Otamon exclaimed.
"Aimermon was supposed to be stronger than both you and Elite Otamon, and now even Aimermon is down... By the way, I don't see two of the animal souls... Oh, my superiors are going to love this." Annioutin's voice remarked.
"Looking for me you sorry excuse for a bird!" A voice yelled.
The mechanical Garudamon turned around.
"Have a taste of your own medicine!" Vailmon yelled.
"WING BLADE!"
'Sis!' Nathan thought, smiling.
'Of course! How could I forget those attacks? Alright then.' Chaos Otamon thought, grinning.
He pounced into the air, while Vailmon's attack exploded on the mechanical Garudamon, not fazing it.
"Is that the best you can do bitch?" Annioutin's voice asked.
Vailmon growled.
"Not her best, but here's one of my best!" Chaos Otamon yelled.
"HAND OF FATE!"
The beam burned the mechanical Garudamon, and Chaos Otamon started falling from so high.
"A bird down by itself." Annioutin's voice muttered.
'Take him down quick Galactic Team! He's getting on my nerves!' Sakuyamon thought, with her face red in anger.
Vailmon soared down and swiftly caught Chaos Otamon securely in her talons. She lowered herself close to the ground, let go of Chaos Otamon, he landed gracefully on the ground unharmed.
"Thanks." Chaos Otamon muttered.
Vailmon nodded, and glanced back at the mechanical Garudamon. She gasped, and mentally cursed.
"EAGLE CLAW!"
Vailmon closed her eyes and braced herself for the incoming pain, but it never came. At that moment, White Fox and Misterim Arteenlow entered the field, and saw the whole effect of the battle. They also noticed that instead of Vailmon being attacked, something else got in the way. Not feeling any pain for some time, Vailmon eventually opened her eyes, and saw to her horror and surprise, that Galactic Otamon was being held instead of Vailmon.
Galactic Otamon's snout was completely covered in one of the talons of the mechanical Garudamon. Galactic Otamon's eyes were closed, and he had held in his breathe before going in to save Vailmon. Taking their chance, Chaos Otamon and Vailmon quickly withdrew backwards, giving themselves some distance between themselves and the mechanical Garudamon, not to mention that battle that was soon to occur between it and Galactic Otamon.
The mechanical Garudamon tightened its grip around Galactic Otamon's snout, with Galactic Otamon's breathe straining, but still holding it. Vailmon; Chaos Otamon and the others all there, witnessing it and conscious, were all worried for Galactic Otamon well-being, especially Vailmon. In the mechanical Garudamon, Annioutin's laughter was heard.
"... Finally, the big shot who defied me is finally in my grip, and going to die!" Annioutin's voice hissed gleefully.
"Let him go!" Vailmon yelled.
"EAGLE MISSILES!"
"FREEZE BREATH!"
The mechanical Garudamon raised Galactic Otamon in front of the attacks, and the attacks collided into him. Galactic Otamon would have screamed, but his snout was held shut. Vailmon screamed in fear, and Chaos Otamon sweat-dropped. Due to Chaos Otamon's attack, some of Galactic Otamon's wings were frozen, and some burns were on him, due to the explosions and collision of the Eagle Missiles, thanks to Vailmon.
Annioutin's evil and maniacal laughter was heard.
"Oops! That wasn't my doing, and certainly not my fault." Annioutin's voice giggled.
In pain, Galactic Otamon mentally growled, being able to hear Annioutin, even though the mechanical Garudamon talon's was covering Galactic Otamon's snout. In his closed mouth, Galactic Otamon gathered up energy.
'Enough is enough.' Galactic Otamon thought.
"RIPPLE STAR!"
Galactic Otamon roared out, freeing himself from the mechanical Garudamon talon's grip. Also, the mechanical Garudamon was blasted back. Still in pain, Galactic Otamon knelt down, gasping, with his teeth gritted together, glaring at the mechanical Garudamon. Straining his pain, Galactic Otamon got into a sitting position like a wolf, and hissed into the sky. A flash of green light appeared below Galactic Otamon, and he was risen high into the sky.
The glow vanished and Galactic Otamon appeared to be sitting on a living huge cat. Galactic Otamon knew he couldn't defeat the mechanical Garudamon in the state he was in, but through equaling the odds, Galactic Otamon had a chance against the mechanical Garudamon. The mechanical Garudamon regained its composure and upon noticing the giant cat, glared at it.
Vailmon and the rest that were conscious were all speechless, with their hopes in Galactic Otamon defeating the mechanical Garudamon high.
"So what? You just got a ride! You still are going down!" Annioutin's voice yelled.
"WING BLADE!"
"Not today and not ever." Galactic Otamon stated calmly.
He hissed, and the giant cat released Ripple Star towards Wing Blade. Ripple Star from the giant cat collided with Wing Blade and destroyed it, continuing on its trail towards the mechanical Garudamon. From inside, Annioutin gasped. Ripple Star formed an energetic rope around the mechanical Garudamon, and tightened slowly, eventually cutting through the middle, separating the torso with the rest of the body.
The head of the mechanical Garudamon opened up, revealing the black crystal sphere within, where Annioutin was protected in. The black crystal sphere opened up.
"This is only the beginning! I'll be back!" Annioutin exclaimed.
"I'm betting on it." Galactic Otamon muttered.
Closing his black crystal sphere, Annioutin blasted out of the mechanical Garudamon's body, escaping. The mechanical Garudamon exploded and in the explosion, it was completely vaporized. A shockwave reached out towards the field and restored the crater to its former greenery. Galactic Otamon stared up into the sky, on the top of the head of his giant cat.
