Digital Team in Special World
Lunar: Time to start the multiple character madness!
Henry: I think I preferred those days you were alone.
Lunar: Then what's the point of this portion?
Henry: I don't know. Why am I alone?
Lunar: Deal with it. Say the Disclaimer.
Henry: Lunar Wave does NOT own Digimon and Pokémon. Period.
Terriermon: Nice one Jen.
Henry: ...
Lunar: Chapter Start.
Chapter 20: Dividing Willingly
Free Team: In the Dark Ocean
"An evil castle... How cliché." Yolei said. The team stood outside the Castle.
"Yep... Definitely unoriginal. He needs to repaint the place. I think pink will certainly brighten it up." Mimi said.
"The point of dark, creepy castles is to intimidate, Mimi." Izzy said. "The more intimidating the castle, the scarier is the boss. That is the typical psychological ideology behind this intimidating structure. I'm certain pink won't intimidate at all."
"Ugh..." Gold mumbles. "Why do wisers like long words?"
"We don't like to communicate via commoner language." Thomas said.
"Three wisers in one group..." Gold mumbled.
"Wisers are not a word." Diamond told him. Diamond was wearing the Grass Bracelet now, while May is wearing the Fire Bracelet.
"You know what I mean." Gold said.
"So how do we enter this cliché castle?" Leomon asked.
"I don't suppose there's a back door." Tentomon asked.
"There is none." Blue said. She checked the area and there was no back door to be found.
"How sad." Ash said. His Torterra and Infernape had already mastered Frenzy Plant and Blast Burn respectively.
"That would have been exceedingly fortunate." Platina said.
"Guys, look here." Sapphire said, pointing at a few symbols engraved on one of the double doors.
"Yeah, we looked. It just looks like a triangle of symbols isn't it?" Ruby said, bored.
"There's one here too." Henry points to the other door.
"Try Three." Henry's Terriermon points at symbols engraved at the middle of the two doors. He was trying to hold onto Henry as much as he could.
"Yay." Veemon mumbled. He looked at one of the symbols. "Doesn't this symbol look like a leaf to you?"
"This looks like waves right?" Willis said, pointing at another symbol.
"This is fire." His Terriermon pointed at the last symbol.
"Fire, Water, Grass!" Blue said. "Maybe we need to fire a water attack at the wave symbols, grass on the leaf symbols, and fire on fire."
"Great. Fire away." Davis said scooting out of the way.
"I'll use this opportunity to practice the Blast Burn and Frenzy Plant techniques." Ash said, sending out his Torterra and Infernape.
"Ok. I will follow suit with Hydro Cannon." Platina said, sending out her Empoleon. Diamond's and May's Bracelets glowed a weird light.
"Ok." Diamond said, his face filled with determination, sending out Roo.
"Ok!" May said, her Blaziken itching to try its new move.
"Count me in." Barry summoned his Empoleon.
"Let's go!" Gold said, summoning Explotaro and Sintaro. Sintaro is there to fill in the missing Grass Type. Blue summoned her Blastoise, and they readied their attacks.
"Ash, you take the grass symbol and the fire symbol at the rightmost triangle. Barry, hit the water symbol at the same triangle Ash is hitting." Blue said. "I and Gold will handle the one at the topmost. Diamond, May, and Platina, take care of the one on the left. On my cue, we fire."
"Roger!" The team said.
"Fire!" Blue shouted, the 9 Pokémon lined up hit the marks straight on. Every symbol glowed. Every symbol except the grass symbol on the topmost triangle that is.
"Maybe Sintaro's power wasn't enough?" Gold said. "I think we should use lower skills." So they fired a weaker attack at the symbols. None of them glowed.
"They weren't powerful enough." Izzy said. "Our best bet is that another Grass Ultimate move is used."
"That means we will have to wait for May's Venusaur to learn the move." Diamond said, handing the bracelet to May. But the bracelet instantly faded away.
"What's going on?" Izzy stared as the two bracelets disappeared into thin air. Only the Fire Bracelet stayed behind.
"So now where do we get the other Grass Type?" Jeri looked at the confounded Trainers.
"Maybe I can help..." A voice is heard. Bokomon and Neemon appeared from behind a rock. Following them was...
"Hey it's super serious gal." Gold said, his eyes widened by the sight of Crystal standing tight in front of them.
"Lucky." Blue said, smiling at Crystal from top to toe.
"I managed to escape the guy who captured us." Crystal told them. Then she looked at Zoe. "It was Takuya. He-" But Gold interrupted her.
"We know that serious gal. Just help us open this door." Gold impatiently said.
"Ok." Crystal said, summoning her Meganium. Then she turned towards Taichi. "There's something I have to give you, Taichi. When we fought Daemon, I was held back by Jijimon. That's why I am still conscious during that time. When Lord MagnaAngemon woke up again, he gave this to me."
"Wha?" Taichi said, taking the item. It looked like a pendant with something blue in the middle.
"You might need this, he says." Crystal said. Then she turned towards the door. "All I have to do is hit that grass symbol over at the top with the ultimate move, right?"
"Yep." Gold confirmed. They then fired another round of Ultimate moves. This time it lit the every symbol. The door suddenly vanished.
"Yay!" Gold said, stretching his arm. Then he peered through the door. His enthusiasm dropped a notch.
"Five routes." Keenan stared at the path. "We don't know which one will lead us to our friends."
"Exactly." Shou stared "We should split up."
"Why?" Izzy said, staring at the paths. "It would be logical we stay together."
"No, it's not." Shou said. "Basic Military Tactics. If we split up, then one team might make it to the final boss. If we're together, then if one goes down, we all go down."
"You've been reading Artemis Fowl." Izzy said, sweat- dropping.
"Who's Artemis Fowl?" Gold asked.
"Never mind." Izzy said.
"Do you mean that boy genius that uses his abilities to get a lot of money?" Yuu said, interested.
"That's the one." Izzy said.
"Interesting that that book is in every world." Thomas laughed.
"Forget that random book and let's go!" Davis yelled.
"We're not the military." Henry said.
"Same thing." Shou said. "If someone gets knocked out while we are together, we'll end up trying to protect him or her. And if that happens, we might as well be lunch for the hungry bad guys in that castle."
"We'll be cooked first." Henry's Terriermon mumbled. He didn't bother saying what he really meant.
"Can we get something to eat?" Guilmon asked.
"Well... I'll give you this, Yolei." Davis handed Kari's Digivice to Yolei. "It might help you."
"Sure you're not going to keep it as a memento?" Yolei said a bit weirdly.
"That doesn't matter." Davis said hurriedly. "Izzy do you have the groupings?"
"If we are dividing ourselves into five groups, we need to have at least one mega level in each team, a decision maker, and an expert strategist." Izzy said. "I'll also group the ones with the same Digimon together since they will understand each other's strength." He then showed them a chart. It read:
Team 1:
Takato
Ryo
Crystal
Sora
Jeri
Brock
Misty
Team 2:
Henry
Kenta
Willis
Taichi
Ruby
Sapphire
Team 3:
Marcus
Tsurugi
Yolei
Platina
Diamond
Gold (Said Person groaned at this)
Team 4:
Thomas
Yuu
Davis
Mimi
Ash
Dawn
Team 5:
Keenan
Shou
Izzy
Blue
May
Barry
"What will we do about our arks?" Takato asked him, pointing at the arks.
"They will have to hide." Izzy said.
"You forgot three people." Davis whispered, looking at the graphs. "You forgot the three north guys."
"You know why." Izzy shot a look at Davis.
"You know..." Davis and Izzy's attention turned to Taichi. "I've been trying to freaking activate this thing." Taichi said, now spinning his arm in the most dangerous way possible.
"Try saying Digimental up." Willis laughed. Davis stared at Willis as though he kissed Kari again.
"Digimental Up!" Taichi hollered. Davis sweat- dropped at the "sempai's" willingness to follow a joke.
"That was supposed to be a joke..." Willis sweat- dropped with Davis.
"Ugghhh... WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THIS THING!" Taichi yelled in the back ground.
"So Davis..." Izzy asked the assault leader. "What will you do with those 10 Digimentals?"
"Nothing in particular." Davis's hand strayed into his pocket. "But I think there's a reason why everyone will give me their Digimentals."
"I didn't give you mine, Davis." Willis said, holding up his Golden Digimental so that Davis will see it. "But if you said ten, you should have the Digimental of Miracles."
"What makes you say that?" Davis asked, his hand still in his pocket.
"There are nine crests, if I recall. In other words, nine normal Digimentals. Add the two Golden Digimentals, you get eleven. Minus my Digimental, you get ten. It isn't that hard to figure out." Willis smiled.
"I'd love to tell you it's the Digimental of Miracles in my D-Terminal, but it's not." Davis said, making said device release the pendant TK sent him.
"Oh..." Willis shut up. Taichi still remained trying to pry the pendant Crystal gave him. Davis returned the pendant into his D-Terminal.
"Davis..." Izzy said. "What do you suggest we do to those three?"
"We can leave them in the arks." Yolei said.
"You're talking about us three, right?" Zoe said sadly.
"Yes." Sora said kindly. "You three cannot come with us."
"What do you mean?" JP thundered. "You want to kick us out because we're no longer useful?"
"It's not like we are saying you guys are now useless but-" Yolei started but was cut off by Tommy.
"That's exactly what you mean." Tommy shouted. "All this time, and now you're saying you will abandon us?"
"No." Henry said. "It's more like we want you to stay out of it."
"Why?" JP yelled.
"You will be part of the Ark Protection team." Mimi invented.
"How are we supposed to protect the arks if we don't have our spirits?" Tommy mumbled.
"YOU THREE GROW UP!" Davis hollered. Then he calmed down a bit. "Retrieve your spirits first before you start yelling in my ear.
"Alright, Team One is leaving." Sora announced. Takato, Ryo, Crystal, Sora, Jeri, Brock, and Misty left the other teams. They took the middle path.
"Team Two will be leaving now." Henry said. Henry pulled Taichi, Kenta, Willis, Ruby and Sapphire with him to the farthest right path.
"My Group shall be departing now." Platina said. Team Three left through the farthest left path.
"Well, we are off." Thomas said. He, Yuu, Zoe, Ash and Dawn walked ahead to the path in between the right and the middle path, leaving a pondering Davis behind.
"Davis, you are lagging behind." Izzy said fiercely. Davis then turned to the senior.
"Where did Teapot send his message to you from?" Davis asked.
"It's TK. Ummm... According to his first message..." Izzy said, opening his e-mail and checking TK's message. "From the world Taichi came from. Why?"
"Oh shoot!" Davis shouted, causing Team 5 to jump. "The Pendant TZ gave me came from Taichi's world. Meaning it might be more useful to him then to me.Digimental UP!"
"Veemon Armor Digivolve to...
Raidramon!"
"I might be able to catch on them and go back to Team 4." Davis said, climbing onto Raidramon. Izzy understood his decision. Raidramon instantly sped to the farthest right path.
"Well we should go." Izzy said to the remaining team. They went to the path in between the middle and the left. Unknown to them, three figures saw the whole episode.
"They left." JP told Zoe and Tommy.
"Let's catch up to them." Zoe said, speeding off to the right to middle path. Tommy went to the leftmost path. JP followed Izzy's group.
"I just hope he remembers what he planned on doing when he gets there." Izzy mumbled.
(Team 2)
"Ok. Explain to me one more time." Willis said impatiently. "Why did you go to this path?"
"I kind of forgot." Davis said racking his head. Then he turned to his partner. "What was I planning on doing?
"Beats me, Davis." Raidramon told his rider. "You'd think I'd know. Izzy didn't even stop us, so it must be important."
"Great." Taichi mumbled. "You are freaking me out. You better go back to team four."
"Fine." Davis said, Raidramon turning towards the opposite way. Then suddenly, a door closed right in front of him.
"I got no choice now..." Davis said, much to the astonishment of Team 2.
"Great. Now one team is one person down." Henry mumbled.
"Excellent." Ruby sighed. "Davis, if one of the people on Team Four goes MIA, everyone else will sue you."
"What's MIA?" Sapphire asked the contest conqueror.
"Missing in Action." Henry's Terriermon told her. Then he turned to Henry. "Is there an easier way for me to be distinguished with Willis's?"
"I don't know." Willis's Terriermon answered.
"I wasn't asking you."
"Try saying Moumantai all the time." Lopmon told Henry's Terriermon.
"I need my voice, thank you very much." Terriermon H told him.
"Keep your voice for the annoying the bad guy time." Veemon told him.
"Let's start walking." Davis said, walking a bit ahead.
"Ok!" Team Two said.
(Daemon)
That was close. That Goggle Head almost went and sent a Super Ultimate Digimon on top of me. Good thing I was able to change his memory. It only lasts for six hours but it will suffice. Now that one team is one person down, maybe I'll send a little friend of theirs...
(Team 4)
"Where is Davis?" Mimi asked. "I don't think I like being in the team with only five people, while the others have six and seven."
"What did he do?" Palmon said. "And now there's no way for him to get back to us. The doors shut tight.
"Yeah." Thomas said. "I just hope we will last."
"Master." Gaomon T said.
"What is it?" Thomas said.
"There is someone behind that pillar." Gaomon said, getting everyone's attention.
"Gaomon, get him out." Yuu ordered his Gaomon. Gaomon Y jumped towards the pillar and readied a punch. But mid-punch, he stopped.
"What are you doing?" Ash asked.
"It's a human." Gaomon said, pulling out Zoe from behind the pillar.
"Zoe, why are you here? Didn't Davis say that you should stay in the ark?" Dawn asked the blonde.
"Since when did Davis become our leader?" Zoe snapped back.
"You have no authority to snap at us, stowaway." Thomas said.
"In reality, Davis did say that we retrieve our spirits. So I am." Zoe said.
"Ugh... A loophole." Mimi sighed. Then she smiled. "Well, you better retrieve your spirits or else."
"Well really." A voice said, a figure approached them from behind.
"Takuya." Zoe said.
"The person who WAS Takuya." Ash said, Pikachu sliding off his soldier.
"More like ExSusanoomon." Said the figure, revealing a dark version of the Super Digimon.
"Aw great." Thomas said, staring at his palmtop. "This guy's a Super Ultimate!"
"This won't be easy." Yuu said, his fist burning with his Digisoul. Both of the Gaomon Tamers thrust their Digisoul into their Digivices.
"Gaomon Double Warp Digivolve to...
MirageGaogamon!"
"Gaomon Digivolve to...
Gaogamon!"
"Palmon Digivolve to...
Togemon Digivolve to...
Lillymon!"
"Mamoswine, Togekiss GO!" Dawn called out the two Pokémon.
"Infernape, Torterra, Pikachu, GO!" Ash sent the three Pokémon.
"Foolish children." ExSusanoomon said.
"If you forgot, you are controlling one of those children you are calling foolish. Not to mention he's our friend." Zoe said heatedly.
"Don't antagonize him." Thomas said.
"Grrr..." Zoe stared at the D-Tectors she held. The two devices were hers and Takuya's. JP held Kouichi's and Tommy held Kouji's. "Kazemon... Zephyrmon... Agunimon... BurningGreymon... Stop him..." Tears started filling her eyes.
"We need to stop him." Dawn said, holding out the white blank device she had.
"What's that?" Zoe asked, brushing away the tears.
"It's a device Bokomon found." Dawn answered.
"Oh..." Zoe said. Then an idea came into her mind. "Thomas, you were asking for help in the Western Quadrant right?"
"Yeah... But it didn't work out so well. The Royal Knights can't ride the Ark with us and Commander Sampson is unable to do a Digital Dive." Thomas said. "All I got is this. King Drasil gave this to me. But I don't know what it is, or how to work it." Thomas showed her a white crystal.
"How's that going to help us?" Yuu asked.
"Don't you guy's think we should concentrate on the battle? We're losing here." Ash said. It was true. Everyone was in pretty bad shape. "We ran out of Ultimate Moves."
"Great." Thomas mumbled. "Charge! Digisoul Burst!"
"MirageGaogamon Burst Digivolve to..."
"Oh no you don't." ExSusanoomon quickly punched the Transforming Mega, causing major damage and reverting their only mega level into a Gaomon.
"Ha-ha. This power. It's invincible!" ExSusanoomon shouted in glee.
"There must be a weakness." Yuu said. "YOU CANNOT BE INVINCIBLE!" Yuu emitted a powerful Digisoul and thrust it into his Digivice.
"Gaogamon Digivolve to...
MachGaogamon!"
"Drat it. I got caught up in my ultimate speech. Oh well... It's just an Ultimate."
"You should have sic a Mega on him. Not an Ultimate." Ash mumbled.
"What can I do?" Yuu asked. "But maybe under that armor, maybe we could get sound waves into him."
"Howling Blaster!" MachGaogamon sent a powerful sound wave at the Super Ultimate, but to little damage it did.
"Well, well, well. That Digivolution certainly was entertaining." ExSusanoomon laughed. "Your last light of hope, diminished."
