Back for another round of fanfiction! Sorry I took a while, have been rounding up a lot of college work recently and didn't have time completing this one fast. Nevertheless, let's get this show on the road!

Chapter 9: Around the World in 80 Solar Cycles

-India-China border-

The Transformers have been involved in the fight against the Dark Spores for the first time around the world. DigiPortals began opening across the globe and the new alliance between the DigiDestined, the Pokemon Trainers and the Autobots was about to enter a new chapter. For now, their first mission together as a team was at the India-China border, where a herd of rampaging Mammothmon started to threaten the Chinese military stationed there. The Indian Army had also been sent there on their side of the border. Both were suspecting that their neighbours have been sending the pack of rampaging mammoths to destroy one another. War was inevitable, but this type of pessimism happened before during the final stages of the conflict with MaloMyotismon. And now, it was going to be a whole lot different.

Present in the scene were Kari, Gatomon, Yolei, Hawkmon, T.K, Patamon, Cilan and Star Saber. They were waiting for three fellow DigiDestined to arrive and help them contain the threat before the herd get in the range of the Chinese artillery guns. Yolei had a pair of binoculars, setting her sights on the Chinese military.

"This is bad." she said.

"Way bad." added Cilan. "A war between two countries is not the best taste of human nature."

"It happens." said Star Saber, realizing that humans and Transformers both share the same capacity for war. "I'll have a fly around. Transform!" Star Saber transformed to jet mode.

"Hop on, Cilan." he said, with the Connoisseur jumping into the cockpit of the jet. Star Saber activated his cloaking field and flew off into the sky. He surveyed the Indian side of the border and found the herd of Mammothmon heading straight for China.

"I gotta find a way to stop them, without being seen from both sides."

Meanwhile, the sounds of giant footsteps were heard behind the DigiDestined. Three large Digimon, an Apemon, a Gorillamon and a Meramon were standing where three kids of different countries greeted the DigiDestined.

"Namaste." said Mina, a DigiDestined from India.

"Chào bạn" greeted Dien from Vietnam.

"Nǐ hǎo" greeted Yue Hong from China.

"Welcome, guys." greeted Yolei. "Glad you decided to help." Without wasting time, they rushed to action.

In the air, Star Saber was still flying about, stealthily in the clouds. Cilan then pointed out an idea.

"Let's slow them down. A little rock slide will do." he said, pointing at a canyon that the Mammothmon were running into.

"Good idea." agreed Star Saber, as he flew down at the canyon.

"Transform!" He transformed to robot form and drew his blade. He waited for the herd to arrive at the canyon. When the Mammothmon were in sight, he jumped up and readied his weapon.

"Saber Blade!" The blade glowed with a bright flash and he slashed it at a pile of rocks on top. They fell, forming a rock wall in front of the charging Digimon. They quickly halted their charge and looked around. The lead Mammothmon shouted, "What's going on?!"

Just then, a few blast rings exploded in front of them. From the sky came Aquilamon, Pegasusmon and Nefertimon, with their human partners on top of them. Below them, on the ground, the Asian DigiDestined and their Digimon were there to stop the Mammothmon. The Mammothmon herd turned around to face them.

"Ready, guys?" T.K gave the signal and the Digimon began the attack. Each of them unleashed their signature moves on the Mammothmon, destroying the growing Dark Spore flowers on their heads. One by one, they vanished into dust.

As half of the Mammothmon were recovered from the corruption, the other half were backing off helplessly by the rock pile behind them. The DigiDestined were prepared to destroy the rest of the flowers. Suddenly, without warning an explosion hit the sky near the flying team and on the ground near the land team. Out of the blue came a tall, skeleton-like Digimon, with devil wings and a skull for a head. He was armed with a staff. SkullSatamon was his name.

"SkullSatamon!"

"That's right, children! I'm back! And you guys are going to feel our wrath! Nail Bone!" He swung his staff at the DigiDestined, unleashing a powerful light from the end of his staff, hitting the Digimon, one by one. The fliers dropped on the ground, de-Digivolving as soon as they landed. Fortunately, their partners were unharmed. The giant Devil Digimon moved in closer as he raised his staff at them.

"It's the end of the road for you, punks!" He was ready to use his staff at them, when suddenly; two laser blasts hit him at the chest, sending him flying to the ground. Out of the sky, Star Saber swooped past and flew up, after dropping Cilan and his Pokemon, Pansage, to battle.

"Pansage, Bullet Seed!" ordered Cilan. His tree-monkey Pokemon spat out a volley of rapid-firing seeds, heading fast at SkullSatamon, pinning him down as the seeds kept hitting him hard. Pansage also shot Bullet Seeds on the Mammothmon, destroying the Dark Flowers on their heads. SkullSatamon got up, resisting the heavy fire. Just a few seconds later, he was picked up by Star Saber and flew off to somewhere further. SkullSatamon tried to shake himself off, but Star Saber kept ramming him at rocks and canyon walls. Afterwards, Star Saber finally dropped him off an open area.

"TRANSFORM!" He transformed to robot form and landed on the ground on his two feet.

"The military won't be able to see us now. Now, how about you start running off while we undo the damage you and your posse have done?"

"Heh! How 'bout not?!" SkullSatamon began the duel. "Nail Bone!"

Star Saber slashed his sword to blast away the incoming light. "Nice try. Saber Blade!" He flung his sword at him like a boomerang and hit him down. The Devil Digimon quickly recovered and unleashed a second wave of light. Star Saber jumped out of the blast and charged towards SkullSatamon. He swung his sword at SkullSatamon, but he blocked the attack with his staff. The two combatants have locked their weapons in a clash.

"Not bad, for a robot." taunted SkullSatamon.

"Flattery will get you nowhere." said Star Saber. The two disengaged. SkullSatamon looked over Star Saber. He saw dust drifting into the sky. At that end of the battlefield, the Digimon have successfully defeated the Mammothmon herd and sent them back to the Digital World, with their Flowers destroyed. SkullSatamon flew to the sky and looked at Star Saber. A dark portal opened up behind him.

"Maybe next time." He flew into the portal and disappeared. The portal as Star Saber kept his sword back. He transformed to jet mode and flew back to the DigiDestined.

~ A day later ~

-Moscow, Russia-

The DigiDestined team, consisting of Yolei, Ken, Iris and Jazz were fighting off a swarm of Flymon over Moscow. Alongside them in the skies are three of the Russian DigiDestined, Anna, Sonya and Yuri, with their Digimon, Unimon, Snimon and Kuwagamon. They shot down Flymon by Flymon as Jazz was still in car mode catching up with them at the Red Square. Because of the Ruusian DigiDestined's inability to speak fluently in Japanese and Yolei's inability to speak Russian, she only used the two Russian words she knew, Piroshki, Borscht and Caviar. What became words for Russian delicacies became the made-up words for 'left', 'right' and 'attack'.

"Piroshki!" commanded Yolei as they banked left to avoid a barrage of sting attacks from the Flymon. Then, another wave headed their way.

"Borscht!" They banked right. Aquilamon flew up higher than the others. "CAVIAR!" The order to attack had been sent.

"Twin Sickle!"

"Horn Blaster!"

"Scissors Claw!"

"Blast Rings!"

"Spiking Strike!"

"Dragonite, Dragon Breath!"

Every combatant fired their attacks and blasts on each and every one of the Flymon, eradicating the Dark Flowers on their heads. The last Flymon landed on the ground as Jazz approached the scene.

"Man, what a pesticide!" he joked. "Time to send y'all back home!" He opened his door and activated Ken's laptop inside his interior. The DigiPort opened and sucked in all the Flymon back to the Digital World. "Do svidaniya!" chuckled Jazz. The DigiDestined team landed back on the ground.

"Well, speaking of Borscht, I'm starving!" exclaimed Yolei, thinking of the right meaning of the word. Everyone's stomachs were rumbling except, of course, Jazz. It appeared that it was luch time for everyone.

-New York-

While events unfold in Moscow, half way around the world, America was also being infested with Dark Digimon. The Big Apple was attacked by a large Orochimon, a five-headed snake-like Digimon. Battling the serpent were Davis, Cody, Ash, their partners and Bumblebee. Ash, Pikachu, Cody and Armadillomon were in Bumblebee's car mode, while Davis was on top of ExVeemon, flying low at city level.

"We gotta find the DigiDestined here and stop Orochimon." said Cody.

"Like finding a needle in a haystack. A very big one." said Armadillomon.

"Look!" yelled Ash.

"Pika!"

The large snake Digimon was in sight.

"Inferno Blast!" A large fireball was fired at them. Bumblebee barely dodged the attack and skidded behind a building. ExVeemon fought back.

"V-Laser!" The laser attack hit one of Orochimon's heads. However, it was able to recover from the hit and charged two of his heads at ExVeemon. ExVeemon dodged the first thrust but was hit by the second. As they were falling, ExVeemon de-Digivolved back to Veemon. He and Davis were free-falling down to a crossroad. Suddenly, a swift figure snatched up the two and flew off. A large Dragon Digimon flew down to drop off the two. On top of it, a blonde-haired American kid waved at them.

"Michael! Glad you made it!" cheered Davis. Michael jumped down from his partner, Seadramon, and walked up to Davis and Veemon.

"Well, sorry we're late, Davis." said the older DigiDestined. "I've brought reinforcements."

On the other side, four DigiDestined and their Digimon appeared. Lou and his Tortomon, Phil and his Flarerizamon, Steve and his Frigimon, and Maria and her Centarumon.

"Alright! Let's get this snake!"

Cody, Armadillomon, Ash and Pikachu exited Bumblebee.

"Armadillomon… Armour-Digivolve to…!

… Digmon! The Drill of Power!"

Everyone ran at Orochimon with full force, launching each of their signature moves. Orochimon was taken aback by the combined force of the DigiDestined and Ash. Then, Pikachu unleashed a Thunderbolt attack on one of Orochimon's heads, destroying the Dark flower on top. However, the snake Digimon continued its frenzy.

"Weird. Why didn't it stop?" Ash was stunned at the sight of Orochimon's actions. However, Cody was quick to learn of the answer.

"Maybe the other heads have the Flowers too!" Everyone turned to face the other four heads. Cody couldn't be any more right. The four heads of Orochimon all have Flowers on their heads. However, the one head that was freed from the Flower was unconscious. The American DigiDestined wasted no time.

"Let's get 'em, gang!" They launched their attacks on one of the heads. Simultaneously, the attacks destroyed the Dark Flower. Afterwards, Ankylomon swung his Tail Hammer on another head, giving it a concussion, and the flower was disintegrated.

"Nice one, Ankylomon!" complimented Cody.

Seadramon, Tortomon, Flarerizamon, Frigimon and Centarumon let loose their signature moves.

"Ice Blast!"

"Strong Carapace!"

"Flame Hit!"

"Subzero Ice Punch!"

"Solar Ray!"

All the attacks hit two of heads and eviscerated the Dark Flowers on each of the heads.

"Veemon… Digivolve to…!

… ExVeemon!"

ExVeemon took aim and fired a V-Laser on the next head, destroying the Flower planted on it.

"Yeah! Just one more and we can kiss this guy goodbye!" shouted Davis, in excitement.

"I don't think so! Inferno Blast!" The last remaining corrupted head fired a massive fireball on the ground, barely missing Ankylomon and Cody. Just then, the yellow Volkswagen Bug quickly reversed at full throttle behind a skyscraper and drove off to the highway.

"Whoa. That's one crazy Bug." said Davis.

Bumblebee drove along the highway. He sped up faster and faster until the giant serpent was in his sights. He quickly made a ninety-degree angle and drove right over the edge. Flying above the ground and landing on another building, he made another great leap from the roof and over Orochimon. To the American DigiDestined's surprise, the yellow warrior transformed to his robot mode and deployed his cannon, firing shots on the last Flower. It was vaporized. The head fell to the ground and fainted. The giant was unconscious. Bumblebee landed on the road with a perfect ten given by Ash and Pikachu.

"Wow! That was incredible, Davis! Never knew Digimon could do that." said Michael, mistaking Bumblebee

"Actually Mikey, he ain't a Digimon." said Davis, causing Michael to give him a puzzled look on his face. "I'll explain later. Let's get this guy back to the Digital World."

~ A day later ~

-Hong Kong-

As the Orochimon crisis was being taken care of, Dawn, Piplup, Kari, Nefertimon and Jazz made a trip to Hong Kong to handle a mess-up concerning a large Bird Digimon, Parrotmon. In the streets of the city, an old man was standing outside while everyone else around him ran for their lives, escaping the fuss. The Digimon landed in front of him. He reached for his pocket and he took out a small piece of paper.

"Alright, evil spirit! Be gone!" (in Chinese) He threw that paper he believed was a magical seal to dispel spiritual demons. However, it just got stuck there on its beak, having no effect on it at all. He gave a rough snort and blew away the seal. Just then, three kids, brothers, appeared from a nearby restaurant and two of them took the man to safety.

"Grandpa! How many times do we have to tell you? We'll take care of this!" said one of the brothers. Behind them, three shellfish Digimon, Syakomon, leapt into action and Digivolved into their Champion forms, Octomon. They fired their Spurting Ink attacks on Parrotmon. The Digimon could only blow off the attacks with the flaps of its wings. The Octomon fell back with the force of their own attacks. The three Poi Brothers ran to pick up their de-Digivolved Syakomon. Parrotmon began to charge up its head and ready to fire its electric attack. Suddenly, a blast hit the Parrotmon. The bird Digimon fired its attack up in the air in desperation. It turned around and saw its attackers. Dawn, Piplup, Kari and Nefertimon arrived in Hong Kong. Jazz was also among the team who arrived in the city, hiding in plain sight. They all moved in close to the Poi Brothers. Dawn and Piplup were ready to attack the Parrotmon while Kari and Nefertimon went to tend to Syakomon's wounds.

"You guys okay?" she asked, in fluent Chinese. The Poi Brothers soon start blushing and smiling as they laid their eyes on the girl they had a crush on since the battle against MaloMyotismon, last Christmas.

"Kari!" They rushed over to her side like girls in a shopping spree. Kari could only sigh.

~ Oh, brother. At least T.K's not here to see this. ~ she thought. Meanwhile, Dawn and Piplup were battle-ready.

"Ready?" she asked her blue partner.

"Piplup!"

"Then SPOTLIGHT! Use Bubblebeam!" she ordered. Piplup fired a rapid volley of empowered bubbles on Parrotmon, sending him slowly dragging on the road with its claws. The Digimon countered back with its attack.

"Sonic Destroyer." A flash of lightning struck out of its metallic head and barely missed Piplup and destroying a car instead. Piplup repeatedly shot his Bubblebeam attacks on Parrotmon. As the two were clashing with one another, behind a tanker truck, Jazz, in robot mode, was hiding. Waiting with his sniper rifle ready, he tried to aim for the Dark Flower on top of Parrotmon's head.

"Steady now, birdie. I just can't get a clear shot." complained Jazz. "Cliff was a better sniper than me. This sucks."

"Piplup quickly dodged a slash from Parrotmon's claws and fired a Hydro Pump on it. The furious splash of water quickly downed the Digimon. Jazz locked on to the Flower.

"Gotcha!" He pulled the trigger. It was a direct hit. The Flower was blasted into a million pieces. The Parrotmon snapped out of its corruption. Kari aimed her laptop at the confused Digimon and sent it back to the Digital World. Jazz quickly transformed to car mode to avoid trouble from the incoming passer-byes.

"That was cool!" said one of the Poi Brothers.

"Come on, Kari! Let's go out for dinner!" suggested another.

"No way! I'll take her!" the third one called.

"Who says so?!"

"No! I will!"

"Me!"

"No!"

Kari again breathed out a sigh. "It's like having three Davis." Dawn let out a sweet and small giggle.

"Looks like someone has a fan club." She winked at Piplup.

"Pip."

~ An hour later ~

-In the Ark-

The teams have reassembled back in the Ark's control room. They viewed the map of the Earth and scanned it for any more signs of disturbances.

"It appears the disturbances are getting less and less intense after those three battles… for now." said Star Saber.

"Well, that's a relief." said Ash.

"Pika!" added Pikachu.

"But we can't stop now! We have to do something about the rest." exclaimed Davis.

"Davis, could use that noggin of yours?!" said Yolei. "We need rest. How would expect us to fight endlessly all day?"

"Yeah, you're right." agreed Davis.

"Well, we could all use a little rest." said Iris, yawning.

"Axew!" Her Pokemon partner couldn't agree more.

Around the corner, however, something was watching them. A tiny little camera, attached the topmost corner of the room, zoomed in on the conversation. It recorded the conversation.

-On the Moon-

On what appeared to be surface of the Moon, there was the wreckage of a vast and dark ship. Inside it, a lone robotic figure sat on a throne chair, legs crossed and fingers tapping on the arm rest. He was watching the recorded chatter from the spy camera on a monitor. The interior of the ship's command room was completely devastated. Only a few controls were still functional. The Autobots' discussion was still being played.

"Good. The sooner we take care of this crisis, the better." said Star Saber.

The monitor was switched off. The dark silhouette figure stood up from his chair and stepped down from its steps. He walked towards a viewport and took a look at the Earth. The face of the robot was revealed at his reflection in the glass. It was the Decepticon Starscream.

"We'll see who will end the crisis." He grinned evilly as he was ready to strike anytime soon.

So, who is this dark figure that is about to come out of his shell? And will the Autobots be able to overcome him? Find out on the next episode!

All done! Please leave a review and tell me how it went! Thanks a bunch
