START CHAPTER FIVE_ _ _|
Scattered across worlds, Can the Digi-Destined reunite and stop the Digimon Emperor?
SHINJUKU DIMENSION_ _ _| ABOVE THE DIGITAL FIELD_ _ _|
Only a few skyscrapers manage to pierce this fog layer, and the few digimon that float or fly in the sky find them shiny things to circle for a while.
One of the digimon circling a particular building, however, someways below the Digital Field's surface, is not circling for fun. A Kimeramon. Yes, yet ANOTHER Kimeramon. (Or was it the same one?)
This new(?) Kimeramon lets out a high-pitched squeal as a bullet bounces off of it's skull.
"Oi! What is this thing?" Beelzemon growls as he fires his gun through another window at the monster as he descends the stairwell, with his human tamer, Ai, and fellow digimon, Calumon, both safely secure under his left arm.
"You don't Know it's name?" Ai asks.
"I know it's name!" Beelzemon jumps over a Devimon arm as it punches through the building's wall. "I just don't know if it's name applies!" he shoots the arm, repeatedly, but the bullets just bounce off.
Calumon squeals in fright as a "Heat Viper" nearly vaporizes them, the symbol on his forehead glows brighter, feeding energy into the Mega EX-Demon Lord.
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Beelzemon fires off more rounds, none of them do any damage. "This thing is Ultimate! I don't care how strong that TV show says it is, it's still weaker than a Mega! What's wrong with this picture?"
DESTINED-LESS DIMENSION_ _ _|
Davis (a DemiVmon) and Yolei (a Poromon) watched as Miyako (This world's Yolei) stuffed random items into a suitcase.
Flamedramon (currently human) was currently attempting to talk the girl out of joining them on their (apparent) Journey across dimensions.
"Look! I get that you don't like your life here, but it's dangerous where we come from!"
"So? It's dangerous here! There was a street war going on last month you know!" Miyako reasoned.
"But we're facing monsters! Gaint monsters with teeth!" Flamedramon countered. "Teeth and claws and bad breath!"
"So? My uncle has breath worse than a bear!" Was Miyako's reply.
"There are digimon that can turn humans INTO digmon!" Was Flamedramon's statement.
"I've always wanted to be a Bird!" Miyako smiled.
"Well I Don't!" Yolei made a "hmmf" sound.
The conversation that was not moving at all was interrupted as, not too far in the distance, a particular Digital Activities and Tactics Squad headquarters suddenly exploded.
ALTERNATE DESTINED DIMENSION_ _ _|
Nefertimon, Kari, and Digmon were being led around town by this world's Hikari and her group.
"And this is the..." The Goggle wearing girl continued on. "...Where we fought against..."
Nefertimon sighed to herself. 'How can she go on like this!'
Syaoran's partner Lopmon seemed to read her mind and decided to cut into the conversation. "ah, Hikari-san?"
"...We- Hm? What is it?" She turned her head towards the digimon mid sentence.
"You've been going on about that one week for almost a week now." The lopmon stated.
Syaoran laughed. "Not maybe that long, Tsuruya."
Kari had noticed this one difference about this world: Only the Lopmon had a name that didn't end in "mon." Why? It hadn't originally been noted, but the Chosen of Hope for this world had a different model of Digivice. Meaning that he was from a different group, and that his ways of respecting digimon were different from the rest of the main group. Something like that, maybe.
Hikari frowned. "Oh, come on! I'm just showing them what we know!"
Her partner digimon, Buimon, laughed and nudged her elbow into the girl's leg. "Oh come on, Hikarin! You do like to go on about things sometimes!"
"Didn't I tell you not to call me that?" Hikari then picked up the lighter shaded Vmon and stared into her eyes.
"Now now! Hikarin!" Ken Ichijouji steped over, with a smile on his face, and placed his hand on her shoulder. "You know how we just love that nickname! Why stop?"
"RAAH!" The goggle wearing girl proceeded to tear out her hair.
Digmon blinked at the sight and wondered. 'What strange world have we found here?'
Not even a second after he thought this, one Daisuke Motomiya, A pair of Guilmon, and one Terriermon ran through their small gathering.
"Sorry About That!" Daisuke cried out.
"MOMENTAI!" The Terriermon added as an afterthought.
This left some very confused Digmon and Digi-Destined behind on the sidewalk.
MEANWHILE_ _ _| BACK IN TAMERS UNIVERSE_ _ _|
Beelzemon grimaced as the staircase below him was suddenly blocked by the Devimon arm. 'Why is it that my first act of repeantance is fighting an airborn monster, when I don't even have any wings?'
The Devimon arm of the Kimeramon started to pull away, but then caught on some part of the building.
The Beast roared, then yanked it's arm loose with a large "RIIIP" sound.
Beelzemon's three eyes widened. "Ahh! So that's your weak spot!"
The Skin on that arm had been scraped off by a part of the building, revealing the data structure of the arm itself.
Beelzemon looked down to the girl in his arms and grinned. "hey, I think I know how to beat this guy!"
Ai looked up and smiled. "Really!"
"Yeah!" Then, the smile faded as KImeramon began circling the building at a wide distance. "But I can't reach him from here! He's too fast!"
Calumon's ears poped out wide. "I can help!"
"Huh? How?" The Mega level eyed the In-training curiously. "If it's that Shining digivolvin' stuff, I'm already at my limit!"
Calumon shook his head rapidly. "No no no no no no no!"
"Then what is it?" Beelzemon was about ready to use that shiny red sphere encircling Calumon as a projectile against the Chimera.
Calumon's green eyes widened as the pyramid on his forehead glowed. "Sakuyamon!"
"Sa...Saku..." Ai tried to form the name. "Who's Sakuramon?"
"Sakuya... Wait, you don't mean...?"
Calumon nodded. "Yup!"
Beelzemon's frown once more turned into a smile. "Ai, you're gonna love this!"
One moment, the building Kimeramon was circling was silent.
The next, the thirty-fifth floor exploded in a brilliantly shining white light as Calumon's voice pierced the sound barrier.
"MATRIX EVOLUTION!"
Kimeramon didn't know what was about to hit him.
FORMERLY KNOWN AS DESTINED-LESS WORLD_ _ _|
Davis and Yolei had Digivolved faster than Flamedramon could blink, and were already smashing through the window of the apartment to somewhere unknown.
"OI!" Flamedramon cried out as a few stray glass fragments nearly hit him. "Watch where you're throwing that stuff!"
It was useless, The two Humans turned Digimon had left hearing range.
Miyako stared at her now destroyed window in shock. "W-w-w-w-why did they do that!" She finally managed.
"Who knows!" Flamedramon leaned out the window for a moment to look for the dirrection the two had taken. "But whatever that explosion was, it sure got their attention!"
Miyako stared at the Dragon turned boy for a moment, then, the shock that was written on her face quickly re-wrote itself into one of excitement. "Well then!"
One second, Flamedramon was looking back at her, waiting for her to finish speaking.
The Next, Miyako was dragging him out her room, out the apartment, and towards the staircase with a cry of...
"ALLONS~Y!"
Minutes passed. And then, Shurimon, coming from the opposite direction, came walking up to the apartment door, now locked, with an arm full of random food stuffs.
He kicked at the door lightly to announce his arrival.
No-one came.
Not even after a full two minutes.
"Guys?"
ALTERNATE DESTINED DIMENSION_ _ _|
Kari immediately chased after them. "WAIT!"
Nefertimon, with a polite bow to the group of Digi-Destined and a thanks for their kindness, then chased after her partner.
When that world's Hikari turned to ask Digmon about what had just happened, he was already gone.
Iori Hida broke the silence. "Well. That was..."
"Different." His Armadilomon finished.
"According to that other group, 'Motomiya' doesn't exist in this world as a known Chosen!" Digmon commented to Nefertimon as they caught up to Kari. "So who is he, and why does he have two nearly identical digimon and a Terriermon?"
"Certainly not Flamedramon or Davis!" Nefertimon frowned. "Unless they found a way to get back to normal already!"
"No, it's not Davis." Digmon started. "He didn't recognise us!"
"Then is he a Slider or something?" Kari asks. "You know, like in that TV show?"
Nefertimon glanced to her partner, then back to the group they were chasing. "What's next? An ESPer?"
"I think you guys watch too much Late night Anime!" Digmon shruged nonchalantly. How he did it while running and still making it look natural, I do not know.
"Please! We are NOT going into this NOW are we?" Kari narrowed her eyes at Digmon's comment.
Then, the "D. Motomiya" and his Digimon trio suddenly stopped.
The Gijinka trio then crashed into them via Aperture Science's Law of Forward Momentum.
In lay-mon's terms: "Speedy thing goes in, Speedy thing comes out."
TAMERS DIMENSION_ _ _|
A rush of energy filled Beelzemon as his body shrunk back to Impmon, which would normally be unusual for a de-digivolution. Except, this wasn't a De-Digivolution at all.
"IMPMON BIO-MERGE TOOO...!"
A human and two digimon merged into one. A newly made Tamer, her Partner, and a Catalyst.
Ai and Impmon were surrounded by light green data-cores, and fused together via energy sent out by the core surrounding Calumon. Impmon then warped back into Beelzemon's, and then continued to Digivolve further. Wings sprouted from his back, his eyes transformed to a bright green shade, and a massive cannon appeared on his right arm.
"BEELZEMON BLAST MODE!"
The now winged mega launched out of the building, and towards their attacker, Kimeramon, now partially blinded by the light show caused by the digivolution.
"Are ya feelin' Lucky, Punk?" Beelzemon BlastMode grinned as he aimed the massive cannon at Kimeramon's Devimon arm, and the wire frame within. "Are Ya? DEATH SLINGER!"
Three bursts of pure energy launched from the mouth of the "Death Slinger" cannon, through the open wound on the Devimon arm, up through the arm, through the monster's chest, and out it's winged back.
Whatever damage this did to the Chimera this was is not important. What is important is that Kimeramon dove for The Winged mega, attempting to pin him to the damaged building (that was originally attacked for no apparent reason) with the skeletal arm of Skull Greymon, now glowing with that strange green glow that had transformed the entire world into Digimon.
Beelzemon Blast Mode Dived away at the last second, and Kimeramon's Skeletal arm smashed into the building, causing the building to crack top to bottom.
"no..." Beelzemon jumped at the voice that suddenly came from Kimeramon. "No Exceptions." It turned it's head towards the Bio-merged mega, and opened it's mouth once more. "Heat Viper."
The vaporizing attack launched...
Wooooooosh!
...And missed it's target by a good mile.
"Is that the best he's got!" Beelzemon asked to his Tamer. "I mean! That was pathetic! Pineapple head could've aimed better than that!"
Inside her Data core, Ai was simply awestruck by the entire bio-merge. "H...How...?"
"Right." Beelzemon narrowed his eyes towards the Chimera that was struggling to escape from the building it was trapped in. "Time to finish this."
Kimeramon launched another Heat Viper, only this time at the skyscraper. This only made the crack (that the SkullGreymon arm had made) spew a corrupting green light, and make it widen ever so slightly. Kimeramon then felt a tug at it's Skeletal arm- something trying to pull it into the ominous glow- and it's eyes widened.
This distraction was all Beelzemon Blast Mode needed.
"DEATH...!" The Mega flew towards the Ultimate at Mach speed. "SLINGER!"
Beelzemon Blast Mode swung the cannon down upon the top of Kimeramon's head and fired as the Chrome Digizoid metal broke the Kabuterimon helmet.
Vwaorrmmssshh...
A Flash of light later, and the Skyscraper and the two dueling digimon never existed.
DIGIMON EMPEROR'S BASE_ _ _|
Ken Ichijouji was curious as to why a one shot idea for inter dimensional travel had worked in the way it did, and so he did a little bit of research.
The only item logged in his data-base that had helped with the entire project was that of the strange energy wave, whose frequency he had deduced brought alternate Digi-Destined to his world and replaced his own Digi-Destined. The Emperor had only been able to recreate precisely to a few degrees, only the last few point zero zero zero Nine decemals had not matched.
But where did the wave come from originally?
Ichijouji, Ken, did more research, and came across a startling discovery.
The Not-quite-exact wave pattern matched the mis-matched code that made up Kimeramon, and, once translated as an audio file, matched a wave signal that had occurred a minute or so before the "Teleportaion" Wave.
The coincidence of this was almost too convenient for Ken to swallow. Key word: almost.
"Tell me what that energy wave was!"
"Would you believe it caused us to trade bodies?"
Had there been any proof to the chosen's comment, it would have been sufficient to tip the scale to "Unbelievable", but, however, there wasn't any data to support that claim. It would be even MORE likely that they had simply been transformed into the opposite life-form. No. Impossible as well. All the evidence supported Inter-dimensional Travel!
But still, that one comment nagged at the back of the Digimon Emperor's mind.
Mentally, Ken Ichijouji put it in the corner of his mind to deal with it later. He had a guest to entertain, after all.
END CHAPTER FIVE_ _ _|
A.N.: The mystery continues. The end of this chapter here, should answer some questions about how we suddenly went to the "World Jumping" plot. Even Ken doesn't know how it worked, and he started it! Also, To simply confirm: Davis, Yolei, Flamedramon, and Shurimon found themselves in the DATS/Savers dimension. However, while the Primeval update of mine may make some think that this is where that group ended up, it's not. At least, not yet, anyways. ;) I've got a twisted little idea here for Nefertimon's group, And I hope it doesn't end up too confusing.
