Chapter 2: Agunimon Ignites!
Now, Juuban was very well known for a district that didn't look all that special. The same for could be said for Nerima and Hinata. Yet, fantastic things happened in those places all the time. From super-powered martial artists to a hapless loser who could fly through the air and was seemingly immortal. Juuban, in this case, was famous for the number of monster attacks that went through their streets and the heroines who combated those threats.
However, a black vortex opening in the middle of the streets was a new one for the civillians in the district. Not so new for the scouts but still pretty new for the civilians.
This black vortex had opened in the street right in front of the Hikawa shrine. There was one witness, a boy who whad been enjoying a candy bar beside a street sign. He stared slack-jawed at the sight before him. He had heard of such things happening but he never counted on actually seeing it happen.
"Heh heh heh," a deep voice chuckled from within the hole.
Before the boy could even blink, a dark shape leaped out of the hole. The vortex quickly closed and whatever had jumped out landed solidly on the ground. It wore orange armor that resembled that a samurai would wear. His helmet sank over his eyes but two eyeholes were there to help him see. His hands and feet were clawed, making him look quite fearsome as it was. The huge sword he was holding really didn't take any of that look away. Quite the opposite in fact.
"So this is the human world," the samurai snorted. "Not that impressive if you ask me."
A honking npse caught his attention and he saw a car speeding at him. The driver was honking madly, trying to get him out of the way. The samurai merely smirked as he gripped his sword in both hands.
"So the human wants to play," he laughed. "So be it. Shogun Sword!"
With that battle cry, he slashed at the car with his blade. A wave of energy erupted from it and raced at the vehicle. The driver couldn't even react quickly enough to avoid it. The attack cut right through the car vertically, going through the metal like it was nothing. The car sped closer for a second befor splitting right down the middle. The pieces drove right past him before crashing onto opposite sides of the street.
"Hmph," the samurai snorted. "Not even enough to dull my sword."
The samurai sighed and then face his surroundings. It was mostly tall buildings with pointless neon lights. None of the structures were truly worthy of his master. Nothing that was, until his eyes landed on a rather impressive structure. A temple of some sort. It was more than worthy for his master.
"Good things do come to those who wait after all," he smiled.
With a destination in mind, the samurai began his trek towards the stairs that went up to the temple. AS he got to the sidewalk, he barely noticed the boy staring at him with his jaw wide open. As the samurai began up the stairs, the boy finally got his senses back and made a run for it. He wasn't going to stick around. Not even when the Sailor Scouts got involved.

Everyone was chatting and getting information about the warriors when they heard it. An explosion that rang through the air. In an instant everyone was standing up and heading for the door. Rini and Hotaru were carrying Bokomon and Neemon. Their short legs somewhat held up their travelling speed.
When everyone got outside, they could see a pillar of smoke climbing into the sky from the street.
"What happened?" Serena asked with a hint of worry in her voice.
Lita looked to the stairs and frowned when she saw someone combing up the stairs. He was giving off a number of bad vibes in her opinion.
"I think he might know," she replied as she pointed to the ascending figure.
Everyone looked to see the samurai step over the last step. They tensed when the saw the evil smirk on his face. None of them liked the way he was looking around the grounds and at them.
"Who's the guy in the costume?" Mina wondered aloud.
Rini and Hotaru felt Bokomon and Neemon trembling in theirr arms. They let the two Digimon down who them promptly hid behind the two girls.
"What's wrong you two?" asked Hotaru.
"That's no human in a costume," Bokomon replied as he opened his book. "That is a Digimon!"
"What?!" everyone gasped as they heard his words.
Activate Digimon Analyser
Musyamon
Musyamon is a champion level Digimon with a real mean streak. His sword mastery mixed with his Shogun Sword and Ninja Blade attacks only serve to make him that much more dangerous. It is best to face him with caution.
Bokomon closed his book again as everyone else looked back at the Digimon with Bokomon's explanation still in their ears. If what he said was true then they were in for a rough fight.
Musyamon smirked before pointing his blade at the collected humans, "I'm feeling generous today humans. I'll give you a chance to leave this place alive. This temple is hereby claimed for my Lord Daemon!"
Raye immediately took offence to that and she huffed in idignation. She narrowed her eyes at the intruder before stepping forwrd.
"Hey pal!" she shouted. "Just who do you think you are? This is my home!"
Musyamon didn't seem to care as he smirked again and rested his sword against his shoulder, "Who am I? I am Musyamon. A loyal member of the Daemon Army. I am here to claim this temple as a base. Now leave!"
"I don't think so," Lita frowned.
"Oh?" Musyamon laughed. "And what are you going to do about it?"
"This!" Serena cried as she stepped forward
Moon Celestial Power!
Moon Prism Power!
Sailor Star Power!
Darien even got out his transformation rose and activated it.
"My word!" Bokomon gasped.
"Oooh! Pretty lights," Neemon smiled.
"Are they digivolving?" Musyamon gasped.
The lights died down and the three Digimon who witnessed it found that the group of humans had indeed changed. The girls were in strange fuku outfits while the single male was donned in a black tuxedo with a white mask.
Normally, Musyamon wouldn't have batted an eye at this. He'd seen stranger happenings back in the digital world. Seeing Digimon like Extryannomon and Vademon were proof of that. However, seeing humans pull off this kinds of stunt without even holding the legendary spirits was enough to surprise him.
Sailor Moon stepped forward from the other scouts and glared at Musyamon.
"To try and steal someone's home filled with beautiful memories is unforgivable!" she said sternly. "In the name of the moon, we will punish you!"
Musyamon snorted as he readied his blade for the impending fight. His blood was alreading beginning to boil with excitement.
"Punish me eh?" he grinned. "Let's see you try it! Shogun Sword!"
He sent a wave of energy at the scouts that was aiming cut them to pieces. It was due to their reflexs that it only made a trench in the ground insted of a bloody mess. Mini-moon and Saturn leaped to protect their two new friends while the Mercury began to try and get a readout on their opponent. The other scouts and Tuxedo Mask prepared to make their counterattack.
Sailor Mars was the first to move as she drew out one of the talismans she used on youma. She wasn't sure if it would work on a Digimon, but she was more than willing to try. Invoking the talisman, she hurled it toward Musyamon with lightning speed.
Musyamon instantly snapped to his side and slashed with ferocious accuracy. He stood still for a moment before the paper fell into four pieces, just touching the ground at his feet. A sinister smirk grew on Musyamon's face as he chuckled at thee attack.
"Oh please," he laughed. "Who do you think you are? A Mikomon or something?"
The other scouts were stunned at the show of swordsmanship. They really had many foes who could move like that before. Most would just use teleporting techniques to pull off speeds like that.
"Just what was that?" Sailor Moon shouted. "He only cut it once. Didn't he?"
"No," Mercury replied while tapping at her computer. "It only looked like he did. My computer says that he actually struck three times. We could only see his first attack."
"Wow," Lita gasped, her knowledge of martial arts showing. "That's impressive."
Tuxedo Mask wasn't listening as he leaped forward, brandishing his cane like a sword. He used an overhead strike to try and bring down Musyamon, or at least crack his helmet open. Musyamon watched him come and brought his sword to face him. A sharp clang echoed as cane met sword. The two combatants were hurled into a stalemate. Each one was using their strength to try and bring down the other.
"Hmm," Musyamon smirked. "It seems that there's a warrior in your bunch after all."
"At least I follow the code of the warrior," Tuxedo Mask frowned. "You dishonor it by attacking women and children!"
"Feh," Musyamon snickered. "Those codes were made by weak fools who were too afraid to claim total victory! The total anniahlation of the enemy!"
Tuxedo Mask frowned as he pushed against his foe. All of a sudden, he leaped away and out of Musyamon's line of sight. What remained in his sight were two Sailor Scouts. Uranus and Neptune to be exact.
"Uranus World Shaking!"
"Neptune Deep Submerge!"
The two outer scouts unleashed their attacks with those words. Musyamoin found himself watching a large yellow sphere and surging water coming at him. His face not showing off his emotion, he began to spin his sword in front of him. It was moving so fast it looked like it was a single disk rather than a single blade. The next moment, the two attacks crashed into it and created an explosion, sending dust everywhere.
Outside, a few minutes ago
Takuya was walking down the road feeling pretty good at the moment. It was better than when he first spirit evolved or when he and Koji took down Cherubimon. Heck, he was feeling even better than when he and the others as Sussanomon beat Lucemon. Why was he feeling so good? Simple, he was on a date with Zoe.
They had started dating a few days after they got home from the digital world. Takuya had gathered the courage to call out Zoeys reward for when they beat Cherubimon. He had struck the final blow after all. The blush and shy smile that appeared on Zoe's face when he asked if the offer still stood was more than enough for him to tell that she was interested.
This was actullly their third date and they were actually doing well. Nothing official, but they wouldn't mind becoming an item. They were in Juuban today for a couple of reasons. One of them was that Zoe was a real big fan of the Sailor Scouts. Takuya figured that she at leasted wanted to see the scouts themselves. Another reason that they had come was that there was a shrinne where a priestess could do some pretty good fortunes.
Takuya wasn't that reluctant to come either. He had Zoe with him so that really helped. He had also heard about thee Sailor Scouts. Everyone knew about them. Takuya had even managed to get a poster of Sailor Mars. Not that Zoe or his friends needed to know that.
"So do you think this is really going to work?" Takuya asked curiously.
"I think so," Zoe smiled as she took Takuya's arm. "Some of my friends at school said she's really good."
"Think we'll see a youma then?" Takuya grinned, trying to look scary. It only sent Zoe into a fit of giggles.
"If we do then we'll see the Sailor Scouts," Zoe Smiled. "I hope I can get Sailor Jupiter's autograph."
"I'd rather see Sailor Mars," Takuya remarked, but he then began to notice the speculative look that Zoe was giving him. "But then I'd prefer you over any old Sailor Scout."
Zoe blushed and smiled as she swatted his shoulder, "Nice save you sweet dope."
The tender moment was abruptly ended when an explosion ripped through the air. The two digidestined looked to see smoke and dust rising into the air from a nearby shrine. Takuya saw the rising air and he gritted when a familiar look came over his face. It hadn't been seen since then final battle with Lucemon.
"C'mon Zoe!" he said urgently before running towards the source.
"Takuya!" she shouted as she gave chase. "What are you doing?"
"There might be people hurt!" was his reply before he vanished around the corner towards the temple. Zoe could only sigh, but she also remembered that this was one of the reasons why she had feelings for him.

The dust quickly cleared from the air and surprised gasps came from all the Sailor Scouts. Musyamon stood just where he was before to the scouts utter dismay. His armour was singed and some small cracks were visible, but he was very much alive and looking ready for more.
"Not bad," he laughed. "Try mine. Ninja Blade!"
Musyamon began slashing his blade at a rapid place. Energy blades were hurled at Neptune and Uranus. Their reflexes kicked in again as the two outers jumped out of the way. They did get nicked with the blades. Musyamon just continued his assault, turning towards the other scouts for a new target. Everyone began moving to avoid being cut to pieces.
Sailor Mercury just managed to avoid a blade before regaining her balance. She looked to Musyamon to see him taking aim at Mini-moon and Saturn. Fearing for her friends lives, she reacted quickly.
"Mercury Bubble Blast!" she cried as she fired her attack.
The mass of bubbles flew out and soon grew into a large bank of mist that covered a large portion of the area. Musyamon halted his attack and began looking around for an edge to Mercury's attack.
"Not a bad technique," Musyamon smirked. "I can't see them but they can probably see me."
Bokomon and Neemon both sighed in relief as Mini-moon and Saturn kept an eye on them. Both the youngest scouts felt the relief pouring off their new friends. Bokomon just continued to clutch his book close to him as he got his voice back.
"I thought we were going to be digi-kabobs," he sighed.
"Don't worry!" Mini-moon said confidently. "That guy's not going to getting past us."
"Right!" Saturn nodded.
"Mmm, digi-kabobs," Neemon sighed happily, only to recieve another wasitband snap.
While they watched Neemon bounce about, the book began to tremble in grow warm in Bokomon's hands.
"Yow!" Bokomon cried as the book became too hot for him to hold and he dropped it.
It hit the ground with a dull thud and opened to the entry on the warrior of flame. The two Sailor Scouts watched in awe as two small rose idols from the pages of the book. Mini-moon and Saturn felt a warmth not unlike a comfy fire envelop them as they gazed at the statues.
"What are those?" Saturn asked in almost a whisper.
"The spirits of flame," Bokomon said in quiet reverence.
Both girls looked at what seemed to be spirits manifested into physical form. The one on the left was not unlike the top half of the human body that looked like an empty suit of red and black armour. The one on the right was crafted into something resembling a red armoured dragon. Sailor Saturn could feel the ancient power radiating from these items.
At another part within the fog, Sailor Mars waited for her opportunity to attack when she felt something strange. It was a warmth that was filling her that she hadn't felt before. It was like someone close to her that she hadn't seen in a long time had finally come back to her. Despite the situation, she found herself enjoying the warmth. What she didn't notice was the centre of the bow on her chest began glowing.
Takuya just got to the top of the stairs and he was already running on autopilot. He'd helped others in the digital world, but he had his spirits then. When he had run into the fog, he began to feel a pulling sensation in his heart. Something very familiar. It was when light erupted from his pocket and he pulled his familiar red and black D-tector did he figure out what it was.
Takuya held out his device in front of him and took a deep breath.
"Spirit!" he called loudly
Bokomon, Neemon, and the scouts heard the voice cut through the fog. The scouts thought that someone had wandered into the battle, but the two small Digimon knew different. The spirits of flame reacted by turning into red spheres of light and fired towards the source of the voice. They shot past Musyamon, who was too shocked to react, and into the D-tector.
The screen on the D-tector lit up with Agunimon's symbol as a blue ring of fractal code appeared around his hand opposite of the one holding his D-ector.
"Welcome back," three gentle yet powerful voices greeted.
"Good to be back," Takuya smiled as he raised his arms.
Execute! Spirit Evolution!
Takuya brought the scanner part of the device to the ring of date. He was then enveloped in an orb of the blue data. The light it gave off could be seen through the fog.
"What's going on?" Mini-moon asked in surprise.
"The warrior of flame is returning, that's what!" Bokomon cheered.
The orb finally cleared with a blast of fire. The heat of the flame caused the moisture in the air to evaporate and the fog to clear. When it was clear a new person could be seen standing at the stairs.
Agunimon!
The scouts gazed in awe at the blonde, red and black clad warrior. Bokomon and Neemon were doing a happy dance. Musyamon was glaring at the Legendary Warrior with contempt masking his rising nervousness. The last thing he needed was one of the warriors getting in his way.
Agunimon smirked at Musyamon as he crossed his arms over his chest, "I know you girls usually do the fighting in this world, but would you mind if I joined the party?"
"Not at all!" Sailor Venus shouted back with a huge grin on her face.
"Not if I have anything to say about it!" Musyamon snapped. "Shogun Sword!"
The attack surged forward and Agunimon and he dashed to the left and skidded to a stop next to Sailor Mars. As Agunimon's eyes landed on her, the symbol on his belt began to glow. He also noticed the centre of Sailor Mars' bow was glowing like the symbol.
"Hey there," Agunimon smiled. "What do you say we double team him?"
"Sounds good," Mars grinned. She was liking the warrior already.
They both faced Musyamon as he began a charge towards them.
"Mars Celestial Fire Surround!" Sailor Mars called.
"Pyro Tornado!" Agunimon roared.
Agunimon dashed forward, wreathed in a tornado of fire as Mars' attack swirled around it. The tornado grew to be a tornado of red and orange flames which had a clear target. The samurai Digimon Musyamon. The flames impacted him hard in an inferno which didn't even set fire to anything else. The flames had hit his chest and sent him across the ground with the added force of Agunimon's kick.
"Gyaaaaah!" Musyamon roared as he hit the ground, his body scorched and burned.
"Waoh," Sailor Venus and Jupiter gasped.
Musyamon struggled to his feet while using his sword to help him stand, "I fight on!"
"What does it take to get rid of this guy?" Sailor Venus groaned.
"Not to worry," Sailor Moon smiled as she stepped forward while calling her sceptre. "I'll finish this."
Agunimon blinked as he saw the leader of the Sailor Scouts make the sceptre appear. Agunimon turned to Sailor Mars with a questioning look, "Just where did she pull that thing out from?"
"Moon Heart Spiral Attack!" Sailor Moon called as she fired her attack.
She fired the attack as Musyamon began spinning his sword again. The magic hearts collided with the blade, and to Musyamon's dysmal shock, the sword shattered like glass. The magical attack continued on and smashed into Musyamon's already wounded chest.
"Noooooo!" Musyamon roared as his body turned entirely into a shadow and a blue ring began circling around around him.
"What is that?" Sailor Pluto asked in a rare state of surprise.
"His fractal code!" Agunimon shouted as he dashed forward while pulling his D-tector.
He stopped in front of the shadow while pressing a button on the side of his device, "Musyamon, your romp in the human world ends now! Fractal Code, Digitize!"
The scouts watched as Agunimon drew the blue ring into his device. When the shadow Musyamon dissolved into nothing. There was a brief glimpse of some kind of wireframe egg before it vanished.
"Whew!" Agunimon grinned. "That brings back memories."
"Agunimon!" two familiar voices cheered.
Agunimon turned around and his jaw dropped as he saw his two old friends. Now those two friends he thought he might never see again, "Bokomon! Neemon!"
The two smaller Digimon leaped from their dash towards their friend and were caught in a crushing hug. They didn't mind at all.
"When did you guys get here?" Agunimon asked. "Were you the ones who brought my spirits?"
Any kind of forthcoming explanation was cut off when a small cough interrupted them. Thhe three friends turned to see the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask gathered behind them. Most of them were looking rather friendly. Jupter and Venus maybe a little too friendly. The three oldest outers seemed rather suspicious. Everyone else seemed friendly though.
"Uh...hi," Agunimon greeted with a small wave.

Deep with the shadows of the digital world, Daemon sat in his throne room. The walls were lined with statues of Digimon that were about the same size as a basketball. Before him, Daemon was watching a statue of Musyamon. His eyes narrowed as he saw cracks and smoke beginning to appear on the statue. When the statue shattered like a china doll, Daemon just sighed in disappointment.
"Such a pity," Daemon sighed. "It seems he was not up to the challenge after all."
From the remains of the statue, a small sphere of fractal code rose from the remains and came to rest in his hand. After a moment, he raised the sphere to his head and absorbed it into his forehead. This shpere of data was the recent memories of Musyamon after he had joined Daemon's loyal subjects. As Daemon wached the last battle unfold, his mout hidden in his robes split into a grin.
"Sailor Scouts?" he laughed. "So they along with the warrior of flame are my opponents? Very well, I love a challenge. Let the games begin."
To Be Continued
A/N: There you go. Chapter 2 is finished. I just thought I'd mention the use of Haruka and Setsuna's names. It's not that I don't know their dub names, it's just that I think their origional names suit them much better. Don't think me a dub hater, it's just a matter of preferance.
