Me: And here we have it! Chapter 4 is up and ready for reading.

Lunar: And yet Chapter 4 on our story only had an Author's Note so far.

Me: Would you stop jumping in on stories you are not in!

Dracomon: We're lonely, that's all!

Lunar: Yeah! You don't write about us anymore!

Me: Please! It hasn't been that along at all, you just don't want to wait until Thanksgiving Break for your fight.

Lunar: Of course I don't want to wait!

Me: *Sigh* Never mind, here's Chapter 4, enjoy!

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

P01:

Chapter 4: Xros Rival! The Blue Evil Dog Kiriha!

The blue light that shines in the time of trouble...

Is he a savior, or is he...

P02-03:

Kiriha, the boy who suddenly interrupted the battle with Tactimon!

What kind of Digimon accompany him...!?

Kiriha: Reload...!

Kiriha: Greymon !

Akari: Kyaa!

Zenjirou: It jumped!?

P04:

Greymon: Blaster Tail!

Zenjirou: Wah...!

Zenjirou: Ear...earthquake!?

Jijimon: T...that's Greymon!

Jijimon: With its combat ability and brutal nature, it was said to have devoured many of the Generals who commanded it...!

Jijimon: Th..that boy...what a Digimon to have accompanying him!

P05:

Greymon: Horn Strike!

Tactimon: Kishintotsu (Fierce god Thrust)!

Zenjirou: Wahh!

Zenjirou: Ehhh...!?

P06:

Zenjirou: Uwaaaah!

Akari: Wha...

Akari: Aren't you being defeated now!

Akari: And you were calling out full of confidence just now...

Greymon: Gwahhahahaha!

P07:

Greymon: Did you see that, Kiriha!

Greymon: That guy was able to repel my Horn Strike! Looks like strong guys do exist!

Kiriha: Yeah..as expected of the rumored strongest general of the Bagra Army.

Greymon: Aaaall right! Lend me your power one more time!

Cutemon: W...wait up, kyu!

Greymon: ?

Cutemon: Y...you're bleeding heavily, kyu!

Cutemon: If you fight with those injuries your life will be in danger kyu!

Greymon: ...? What is that small animal saying, Kiriha...?

Kiriha: The weak have the weak's way of survival. It has nothing to do with you, forget about it...

Greymon: For a man to live, he has to spill a little blood, right...?

Greymon: Well, I don't know anything about how you live though.

Cutemon: Kyu...!

Kiriha: All right...let's go! This time we'll go at full power!

P08-09:

Kiriha: MailBirdramon!

Kiriha: Greymon!

Kiriha: DigiXros!

MetalGreymon: MetalGreymon!

MetalGreymon: Trident Arm!

Shoutmon: T...they can also use DigiXros!?

Dorulumon: What are they...to be able to fight on par with Tactimon!

MetalGreymon: Come on, Tactimon!

MetalGreymon: Let's not pull any strings here and at least reveal your true intentions!

P10:

MetalGreymon: Giga Destroyer!

P11:

Tactimon: Grrrr!

Army: !

Akari: W...wow...he's battling this war on his own...!

Kiriha: (Hmph...that monster...! Even Giga Destroyer can't take him down...)

Tactimon: (There are too many casualties among the troops...)

P12:

Tactimon: (In addition to that 'Blue Flare''s Greymon)

Tactimon: (Even though they suffered some damage...)

Tactimon: (The red boy's troops are still strong...)

Tactimon: (...Hmph...)

Troopmon: Signal flare!

Troopmon: Black-white-black retreat!

Troopmon: Retreat immediately!

MetalGreymon: Heyyyy nowwww don't resort to uncouth means!

MetalGreymon: I've still yet to enjoy myself enough, Tactimon!

P13:

MetalGreymon: Huh!?

Zenjirou: The ground is...!

Tactimon: Tenshukaku (Castle Tower)!

P14:

Akari: A...a castle...!?

Zenjirou: He made a castle...!

MetalGreymon: Dohhhhwah!?

MetalGreymon: ...Wha...

Taiki: That large army just...

Kiriha: What an extravagant technique, creating a smokescreen to allow retreat.

Kiriha: So that is San no Tachi (Third Sword)...normal Digimon probably wouldn't stand a chance and would just fall into the holes in the ground.

Akari: Why would such a strong guy like him with nothing to fear escape...

Kiriha: No...he just saw how heavily damaged his troops were. Because annihilating the enemy and taking over the Zone are two completely different matters.

Kiriha: He himself has plenty of energy left.

Kiriha: In the end I couldn't get him to unsheathe that sword even once...

P15:

Kiriha: That sword...'Jatetsufuujinmaru (Snake and Iron Sealing god Sword)'...

Kiriha: It is said that if it is unsheathed even once, that power is enough to destroy a whole Zone...

Kiriha: That's why he personally sealed it.

Kiriha: It's just absurd gossip, but...

Kiriha: Do you believe in it? Kudou Taiki.

Zenjirou: (After seeing that battle I don't think that is necessarily a rumor...)

Taiki: You...who are you? Why do you know about me...!?

Kiriha: I'm just a human who wandered into the Digital World like all of you...

Kiriha: I heard from that girl named Nene...

Kiriha: That the boy with the red Xros Loader encountered the top brass of the Bagra Army in the Snow Zone...

Taiki: (So there might be other humans like us...)

Akari: T...that woman, what on earth is she thinking!

Kiriha: I don't know that girl at all, but...

Kiriha: Thanks to her I was able to stop you from dying in vain.

Kiriha: I've been watching your battle all this while...

P16:

Kiriha: Become my subordinate, Kudou Taiki!

Kiriha: You have the talent to become a general...! If you join me, we can let that talent blossom and together we can conquer the Digital World!

Akari: Eh...ehh!? This...is he a scout!?

Shoutmon: A General wants to take us into his ranks to improve his battle ability? That's asking a bit too much, bro!

Kiriha: The only one I want is Kudou Taiki.

Kiriha: I don't need trash Digimon like you...just go disappear somewhere.

Shoutmon: Wha...WHAT WAS THAAAT!?

Kiriha: Staying with that immature Digimon will only make your general-capable sense grow dull...

Kiriha: Soldiers and battlefields to stretch your potential...I can prepare all that for you. That is the best choice to defeat the Bagra Army!

Kiriha: Come! Taiki...!

P17:

Taiki: ...

Taiki: I refuse!

Kiriha: ! What...?

Taiki: All I want to do is...make this guy the Digimon King...I just want to see a Digital World where everybody can sing and laugh loudly!

Taiki: I don't think the Digital World would end up like that in your hands!

Shoutmon: Wowwwww Taiki~!

Kiriha: ! Tch...you...you don't want to know!? How far you can stretch those abilities of yours...

Kiriha: Don't you want to fulfill your aspirations on however great you want your abilities to grow!

Taiki: ...I'm not interested!

Taiki: If I want to test my abilities I'll do it somewhere else! We have a certain victory that we are aiming for!

P18:

Kiriha: That...

Kiriha: There will come a time to determine which of us is the better man, you know...!?

Kiriha: When that time comes are you confident enough to battle and win...?

Taiki: To be frank, whatever you do doesn't concern me!

Taiki: But if we have to battle someday...before that we will become stronger than you!

Kiriha: ...ho...

Kiriha: Fufu...fufufufufufufufu!

Kiriha: Interesting...this guy named Kudou Taiki!

Kiriha: I want you in my hands more and more...!

Kiriha: ...But...there is a need to correct that half-hearted way of thinking you have...

Taiki: ?

Kiriha: Greymon! MailBirdramon!

P19:

Kiriha: Get rid of all of his Digimon!

Kiriha: With that naive resolution...I'll show you that you'll eventually lose everything if you carry on like this!

Taiki: Wha...!?

Akari: What's with that! Don't just say whatever you want!

Greymon: Guhahahaha! So that's that!

Greymon: Prepare yourselves and let's have a match!

MailBirdramon: Greymon, Kiriha did not tell us to have a match.

MailBirdramon: He told us to annihilate them.

Taiki: Ku...!

P20:

MailBirdramon: Nighthawk!

Taiki: Run away!

Shoutmon: Are you gonna run away, Taiki!

Shoutmon: I'm totally annoyed right now! Let me say everything I wanna say!

Taiki: But now everybody is injured!

Taiki: Not only that...

Taiki: That...

Taiki: (I don't want to resort to that way of battling!)

Taiki: Ballistamon!

Ballistamon: Okay!

Ballistamon: Arm Bunker!

P21:

Greymon: Bwaah!?

Greymon: Fueehhh...cough cough!

MailBirdramon: !

MailBirdramon: They're gone...!

Greymon: Whaat...!?

Kiriha: What's wrong?

Greymon: All the prey has been getting away today!

Kiriha: Hmph...they even made sure to cover up their escaping tracks...

Kiriha: He probably has a Digimon capable of fast movement as a subordinate too.

Kiriha: But...as long as he doesn't have this area's Code Crown, he can't have gotten very far.

Kiriha: We'll hunt you down soon...!

P22:

Children: ...

Children: Bwaaahhh!

Taiki: Brrrrr.. So coooold!

Akari: Achoo! Hachoo!

Zenjirou: We...we were saved, thanks to him overestimating Taiki! Just put all the Digimon into the Xros Loader and bury ourselves in the snow!

Taiki: W...without this coat it would've been too cold for us to hide! Thanks, Mushroomons!

Thin Mushroomon: Shu~shushushu!

Fat Mushroomon: Praise us even more, shu! Of our great achievements!

P23:

Cutemon: Kizunao (Wound Heal)!

Shoutmon: Ohh..?

Shoutmon: Ohhhhhhh~!?

Shoutmon: Awesooome!? It healed!

Sunflowmon: That's the Cutemon race's special technique, healing type techniques!

Ballistamon: Thank you, Zenjirou.

Zenjirou: My dad works in a company that deals with machinery! You can leave simple maintenance like that to me!

Jijimon: When a large number of Digimon like that are put into the Xros Loader, they cannot completely heal in a short time.

Jijimon: Having comrades that can help in healing is reassuring!

Akari: When we first met, couldn't you just have used that technique on your wound?

Cutemon: It was painful and I lost my composure so I couldn't use my technique well kyu!

P24:

(Kiriha: ! Tch...you...you don't want to know!? How far you can stretch those abilities of yours...)

(Kiriha: Don't you want to fulfill your aspirations on however great you want your abilities to grow!)

Taiki: (Darn...what's with that guy!)

Taiki: (He shouldn't involve others in that battle just for that kind of reason...!)

Taiki: (...But...)

Taiki: (It's true that to fulfill my dream in this world, I need power...!)

Taiki: (...that guy...a power different from what he has...!)

Akari: Dorulumon!

Akari: Where are you going? With those injuries...

Akari: If you don't hurry and heal those injuries now...

Dorulumon: I told you already, I only wanted to catch a ride with you to the next Zone...

Dorulumon: Not only that...

Dorulumon: I wonder if he is able to heal my injuries now...?

Cutemon: !

P25:

Cutemon: ...Do...

Cutemon: Dorulumon...!

(Dorulumon: What's up, why are you alone? Where are your parents...?)

(Dorulumon: Are you hungry...? Really, looks like I have no choice...follow me...)

(Cutemon: Dorulumon, you don't like crowded places?)

(Cutemon: Am I...a nuisance in your travels, Dorulumon...?)

(Dorulumon: Kids like you don't have to worry about boring stuff like that!)

(Dorulumon: Giving a small one like you a ride won't strain my shoulders anyway!)

Dorulumon: It's true that I was once part of the Bagra Army...same with me destroying many towns and villages.

Shoutmon: But...that's not true now! You had some kind of reason, right!? That you were part of the Bagra Army...

Dorulumon: I had no reason...the me at that time believed that only power was justice. That if you were strong you could do anything you wanted...

Dorulumon: Honestly...I lost count of how many villages I've destroyed...among them...

Dorulumon: Cutemon's village might have been one of them...

Cutemon: Kyu!

P26:

Cutemon: Kyuuuuuu!

Shoutmon: Cutemon!

Shoutmon: Hey! Just now...

Dorulumon: Shoutmon, you're a good guy. I was lucky to have met you...before having to leave Cutemon.

Dorulumon: About Cutemon...I'm counting on you!

Shoutmon: Ehh...ah hey!

Shoutmon: Wait up!

Taiki: Dorulumon!

Shoutmon: Taiki!?

Taiki: We can't let him go!

Taiki: If everybody's heart can't become one...I have...we have no chance of winning!

P27:

Taiki: Dowahh!?

Taiki: Owowowow darn...S...something is buried in the snow...

Taiki: Uwaahh!?

Musyamon: Uh...

Musyamon: Ughhh...

Taiki: W...who is this guy?

Shoutmon: Isn't that one of the Musyamon who were with the black armour guy (Tactimon)...? Why is he collapsed here?

Musyamon: L...Lord Tacti-! Huh!?

Taiki: Wahh!?

Musyamon: W...Who are you people!?

Musyamon: A...are you warrior hunters that came after me because I escaped safely!?

P28:

Musyamon: Speaking of that, I have no intention to carry out any futile resistance.

Musyamon: I am just a beginning warrior! I know when it is time to give up!

Musyamon: Come on, you can boil me or grill me, do what you like!

Musyamon: Come on come on...huh?

Taiki: No...now's not the time for that! If you don't attack us you can run away wherever you like!

Musyamon: D...don't say that, just boil me or grill me! It will be the highlight of my life!

Taiki: WHAT'S WITH THIS GUYYYY!?

Lilimon: Ah! That's rare! That's not a Musyamon but an OchiMusyamon!

Shoutmon: OchiMusyamon...? (Ochimusha is Japanese for a defeated soldier/samurai that fled from the enemy)

OchiMusyamon: Indeed...

P29:

OchiMusyamon: I am OchiMusyamon!

OchiMusyamon: I joined the Bagra Army to become a great ochimusha but...Tactimon-sama was so strong that there weren't many chances of a good losing battle...

OchiMusyamon: But then this time I got beat by your attack...I got separated from my lord and become lost by myself...

Lilimon: OchiMusyamon is a subspecies of Musyamon.

Lilimon: When it loses a battle it will flee, a mutated Digimon that bets everything on romance!

Taiki: This romanticist is too uncooperative!

Zenjirou: T...there are really many different kinds of Digimon, huh...

OchiMusyamon: Well then, Taiki-dono! Could you behead me or leave me to dry on the dry riverbed?

Taiki: Masochism isn't a level!

OchiMusyamon: Oh...speaking of that...

OchiMusyamon: Is Dorulumon no longer on your team? What happened to him?

P30:

Shoutmon: ! You...!

Taiki: You know Dorulumon!?

OchiMusyamon: Sure I do!

OchiMusyamon: We were part of Tactimon's army and are comrades that eat food that came from the same pot!

OchiMusyamon: Dorulumon comes from a tribe that have been warriors for generations.

OchiMusyamon: He is a ferocious man who battles in pursuit of strength...

OchiMusyamon: I didn't have a very good impression of him, and he wasn't a friendly guy...he's completely horrible at socializing!

(OchiMusyamon: If we lose the battle, let's run away together!)

(Dorulumon: Please go look for someone else)

Shoutmon: No, in that case Dorulumon was right.

Taiki: Wait...? Then...do you know why Dorulumon quit the Bagra Army!?

Akari: That's right! How did Dorulumon, who thought strength was everything, change to his current character...?

OchiMusyamon: Ah...that...was probably because of that incident...

P31:

Taiki: That incident...!?

OchiMusyamon: In the past...on a certain battlefield...

OchiMusyamon: He gathered a lot of young Digimon and commanded a unit that was still undergoing training...

OchiMusyamon: They were used to keep the enemy troops' main forces at bay...

OchiMusyamon: By Tactimon-sama's instructions...

OchiMusyamon: During a tough battle, Dorulumon was protecting the frontlines, but...

OchiMusyamon: During the battle, he was suddenly told to retreat backwards alone.

OchiMusyamon: When Dorulumon was separated from his troops...

OchiMusyamon: Tactimon-sama ordered to fire at the front lines where our allies were!

OchiMusyamon: We got great gains from that battle, but...

OchiMusyamon: In turn, that small, weak troop got done in together with the enemy's main forces! But...

P32:

OchiMusyamon: What Dorulumon saw when he returned to the battlefield...

OchiMusyamon: He saw all his disciples, laying on the ground in heaps...

OchiMusyamon: From then on, he did not allow any sacrifices to be made.

OchiMusyamon: His way of battle changed from only aiming for victory...

OchiMusyamon: Then one day, he went against orders and told his troops, who were to be discarded like trash just as his old troops had been, to escape.

OchiMusyamon: He became a shadow after that...

OchiMusyamon: That plan was...

OchiMusyamon: One of the few failures recorded in Tactimon's military history.

P33:

(Dorulumon: I should say I'm not qualified to do that...)

Taiki: (Dorulumon...!)

Akari: Dorulumon...at that time he first understood the pain of losing his comrades...

Cutemon: Do...Dorulumon...

Cutemon: He never once smiled at me from the bottom of his heart kyu...always hiding himself behind his jokes, only capable of lonely laughter...!

Cutemon: (That...always hiding his wounded heart...)

Cutemon: (And cared for me...!)

Akari: Cutemon!

Cutemon: I...I'm going to apologise, kyu! Dorulumon should still be nearby...Kyu!?

P34:

Taiki: Mail...Birdramon...!

MailBirdramon: ...My ears are also quite effective...

MailBirdramon: In a place where only the sound of falling snow is present, you shouldn't be talking too loudly...

Taiki: Akari...!

Taiki: I'll leave Cutemon to you!

Taiki: He...bring Dorulumon back!

P35:

Shoutmon: If we keep running like this, he'll be left alone! We can't do it that way!

Taiki: With that way of battling...we can't continue forward!

Akari: ...Yes!

MailBirdramon: ?...What is it...

MailBirdramon: Is there anything troubling you?

MailBirdramon: Huhh...I alone am enough to take care of guys like these...

MailBirdramon: You don't have to come yourself, Kiriha...

Kiriha: Crush them at full power and don't leave anything behind!

Kiriha: We're going to carve despair into his naive soul!

Red VS Blue (Taiki VS Kiriha), the war begins!

-Chapter 4 End-

Hope you all enjoyed! This actually took me about 20 minutes to edit and such, there were parts where I wasn't sure if it appropriate, so I would like to say sorry if it wasn't.

Also, thank you for all the encouragement for raising Anubis my Dobermon. He can now digivolve to Cerberumon, and is on his way to Anubismon. If anyone wants to meet up with me on DMO, my player name is Toboewolf on the Leviamon server. I've been around the Wilderness Area lately and I'm only on Mondays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and maybe Thursday, depending on how things go on that day this week.

So anyway, let me know if I missed stuff and let me know if you want to meet up on DMO on almost anytime from about 5:00 to 7:00 or 8:00. The time depends on when we get back from school.

Thanks!

Pandamoniam
