Chapter 12
Me: I am very very very very very very sorry that I haven't updated this in a long time!
Lunar: I'm not. We're on the Christmas special baby!
Me: Yes, but the viewers on this story probably wanted this for a long time.
Dracomon: *Singing to the tune of Jingle Bells* Christmas Special, Christmas special, really late Christmas special!
Me: Ugh! You guys sure are selfish!
Lunar: I'm not selfish! I'm just epic!
Me: I don't own Digimon. Otherwise, it would be a nuthouse.

P01:
Chapter 12: Xros Shape! Enjoyment in the Human World!?
*The General (Replacement) aims to conquer and bring about peace again today!
P02:
*In a tower rising with miasma...
[Bagra Army Headquarters]
Bagramon: Another one...You destroyed yet another Zone, did you not?
Bagramon: Lilithmon.
[One of the Bagra Army's Three Commanders: Blastmon]
P03:
Bagramon: Although Sweets Zone has narrowly escaped destruction...this is the third time.
Bagramon: It seems we're still unable to retrieve the Code Crowns of Bamboo Zone and Mist Zone which you released into the digital space.
[Emperor of the Bagra Empire: Bagramon]
Lilithmon: B...but, Your Highness...
Lilithmon: In one of those Zones, there lies a hibernating Holy Knight that has taken part in a war there long ago...it must be ridiculously powerful...!
Bagramon: ...Don't tell me you 'exploded' again?
Bagra: This is a problem...
P04:
Bagramon: The Digimon that have been sucked into the digital space...
Lilithmon: Ah...!
Bagramon: They are probably still being corroded by noise data right now, only able to wait for death in the midst of pain and fear...
Bagramon: What pitiful beings...
Bagramon: Howeve...I don't think you'll be able to understand that pity...
Bagramon: Due to you...being the Digimon called Lilithmon...
Lilithmon: ...!?...
Lilithmon: Ah...!
Lilithmon: Cough...!?
Lilithmon: Aaagh...
P05:
Lilithmon: My...ahhhh...
Lilithmon: (My...my body is...!? My breath...!)
Lilithmon: (My...my eyes...! I can't move...)
Tactimon: (Clairvoyance, Invisible Snake Eyes...! It analyses the entire program that makes up a soul...She'll probably become unable to think for herself, let alone move her body freely...)
Lilithmon: Gah...? Ah...!
Lilithmon: Ahhhhhhhhhh...!
P06:
Blastmon: Oh dear! Lili-chan, are you anemic!?
Blastmon: It must be iron deficiencyyyy! Even though I told you to eat some liver whether you liked it or nooooooooottttt!
Tactimon: She likes blood, there's no way she would get anemia. Look.
Gekomon: Geko?
Lilithmon: (Eh...?)
P07:
Lilithmon: (Wha...!? What is with these hands...? This face...!? Th...this is my body...!?)
Lilithmon: (Ahhhhh! Why am I sleeping over there!?)
Blastmon: What's with that little frog over thereeeee!? It actually looks kinda cute!
Tactimon: This is probably the first time you two are seeing this...
Tactimon: An evil, corrupt technique used to play around with a soul, Astral Snatcher...
Tactimon: The godly powers of Your Highness far surpasses the laws of nature...!
Lilithmon: (No...no way...! Do...do I have to continue living in this body from now on!?)
Bagramon: May the evil soul known as Lilithmon...attain peace for the first time in the evil vessel known as Lilithmon...
Bagramon: Peace known as...war and violence...
P08:
Lilithmon: (Eh...!?)
Lilithmon: !
Lilithmon: Heh...ha...! Cough! Cough!? Haa...! Haa..!
Bagramon: Lilithmon...
Bagramon: Even I wouldn't like to damage your fair, tender skin...
Bagramon: However, there are also times where you have to strike a blade into your own body in order to deal the finishing blow in battle...
P09:
Bagramon: You must not aimlessly torture...those poor souls who have been captivated by the false dreams given by god.
Bagramon: You must quickly put them to rest...you must give them death and destruction.
Bagramon: That is the biggest good that you, as the goddess of darkness, can bring to the Digital World.
Bagramon: You understand, don't you?
Lilithmon: Y...yes...
P10:
Blastmon: Aww, you were scolded~
Blastmon: Ah, are you crying!? Lili-chan, don't tell me you're crying!?
Blastmon: Well, today was the first scolding so bad in a long timeeeee!
Lilithmon: ...Ha...
Lilithmon: Ahaha...ahahahahaha...!
Lilithmon: (Ahh...Your Highness...Your Highness...! My loved one...3)
Lilithmon: (With those eyes...with those claws...! Even in this pitiful body...please torment me to the very heart of my soul...! 3)
P11:
Blastmon: What's with her...
Tactimon: Love is said to come in that form too. I'm not too sure of it myself though...
Blastmon: But she's not even repenting at all?
Tactimon: His Highness also knows about that...
Tactimon: Lust and violence...these are the true natures of the Digimon known as Lilithmon.
Tactimon: To say it in His Highness's words...it's so true...it's sad.
Blastmon: ...hm...?
Blastmon: ...?...
Blastmon: I don't really get it, so I'll just go grab a bite and conquer some Zone somewhere...
Blastmon: Alright, what should I have for lunch today...!? The red on my body is getting duller recently, so maybe I'll have a giga serving of rubies with rice!
Damemon: Blastmon-sama! Blastmon-sama!
Damemon: If you're hungry, why don't you let me introduce to you some good places to eat!
P12:
Wizardmon: So this is the path between dimensions...as I thought, Generals and Xros Loaders are really superb.
Gatomon: True, true! It makes me feel 'what did we work so hard on our journey for'!
Dorulumon: Normally, we have to aim to transfer between Zones when they happen to get closer to one another, so that the wall of space-time between them gets thinner.
Ballistamon: But it's hard to predict where these space-time paths will show up, and it's really up to fate to decide which Zone we land up in.
P13:
Akari: It's normal for us to use these paths so I never realized it, but wouldn't that be very inconvenient?
Wizardmon: Since the Bagra Army is researching on the digital space, it seems that they're able to move between Zones more freely, however...
Wizardmon: This technique, and the technique of absorbing Digimon, seems to have been invented by Bagramon himself.
Wizardmon: But I wonder how he got that knowledge which made him known as the 'wise man in the wilderness'...he's a truly mysterious Digimon.
Starmons: But is it really okay for all of us to come along?
Shoutmon: I said I wanted to go, but isn't this too big a group just to escort the General?
Taiki: Yeah...that might be true, but...
Taiki: I also wanted to show our world to all of you who have battled together with us from the start...!
Taiki: I wanted to see how you all felt about the human world...and I also feel that this will give us a clue to understanding the Digital World's state right now!
P14:
Taiki: Alright...we're almost at the exit! We're exiting the digital space!
Taiki: Dowahhh!
Akari: Hyehhhh!?
Taiki: (My skin feels kinda cold...? Oh yeah, it's not summer anymore! How many months did we travel for anyway?)
Akari: Taiki...
P15:
Taiki: ...It...it's Tokyo...
Taiki: (Nothing has happened to it...so our world was safe all this while...!)
Akari: We...we've returned...
Akari: We...we finally returned...!
Taiki: Akari...
P16:
Taiki: Yeah...we've returned...!
Taiki: But...before we rejoice about that...
Taiki: we've already got a problem?
Akari: Why the heck did they just come out by themselves like that!?
Shoutmon: Wowww! Those buildings sure are huge!
Starmon: Are those all built by humans!?
Wizardmon: This area looks like it's built to be a garden...and that's a monstrously large drainage system...
Lady: Wha...what's that, that lion just talked...
Man: What's with that star-shaped thing! It's floating..!?
Akari: Co...costumes!?
Taiki: Balloons!? Party goods!?
P17:
Akari: Byeeeeeeee!
Shoutmon: What are you panicking for, Taiki!?
Wizardmon: Darn! We were careless...!
Gatomon: In the human world, the only living things intellect like Digimon are the humans.
Gatomon: Monsters like you which don't actually exist in their world walking about would obviously shock them! I'm okay because I can act like a cat.
Shoutmon: Geh! That sure is inconvenient!
Cutemon: Why do you know so much about the human world, kyu!?
Wizardmon: Gatomon has gotten lost in the human world in the past!
Gatomon: At that time, I traveled together in the Digital World with a human girl I got to know!
Shoutmon: Ehhhh!?
P18:
Taiki: Ga...Gatomon! You...
Gatomon: Well, when you live a long life lots of things are bound to happen! Follow me! I know a place where it's easy to hide.
Taiki: I see...
Taiki: We should be okay here.
Tailmon: Thankfully it's the same as before! There aren't many people as it's an old apartment, and rooftops are usually off limits.
Shoutmon: Heeeyyy can you let us out soon, Taikiiii!
Shoutmon: We wanna look and walk around on the human streets tooooo!
Taiki: Please put up with the Xros Loader for a while! If the humans here catch sight of you, it'll cause lots of confusion!
Shoutmon: Ehhhhh! Wouldn't this be the same as what they see on TV!
P19:
Shoutmon: Didn't we wish to be able to look at and touch and understand the stuff in the human world!
Taiki: Hmmmm...that's true, but...
Gatomon: Fufufu...
Gatomon: Leave it to me! I already made preparations knowing that this would happen!
Wizardmon: I was the one who made preparations though...
Taiki: ?
Wizardmon: [I don't think it actually means anything]
Shoutmon: Oooooohhhhh!?
P20:
Gatomon: Ta-dah!
Gatomon: How do I look? It should be obvious~
Shoutmon: WOOOOOOWWWWWW AWESOME!
Akari: So cool!
Wizardmon: It's transformation magic. I was thinking about what she'd need it for when she made me learn it, but turns out it's pretty useful.
Shoutmon: Soooo do you mean that!? That we can use that and turn into human forms too!?
Gatomon: Of course!
Gatomon: Alright! Look at those people walking down there and think about how you want to look like!
Digimon: YEAH!
Taiki: They look pretty lively...
Wizardmon: Please refrain from coming up with overly complicated designs.
P21:
Shoutmon: Woooowwww!?
Dorulumon: Heh, this isn't bad at all!
Cutemon: Kyuuuu!
Ballistamon: Hngah!
P22:
Starmon: Waaaaaaaiiiiit a sec here!
Starmon: Why are we the only ones that got turned into ducks!
Akari: Ahahahaha it fits! It really fits you guys!
Starmon: Quack! I don't understand this at all!
Wizardmon: Let's see...I should probably also choose a design that's fitting for me...
Wizardmon: Hm, maybe I'll borrow his appearance.
Wizardmon: Well then, shall we go, ladies and gentlemen?
Tailmon/Akari: Wait uuuuuuppppp!
Tailmon: Do you think you can walk next to me in that getup!?
Wizarmon: By 'that getup', you mean...that's rude to that person himself.
Akari: No way! Since you finally got this chance, you should use it and make yourself look cooler!
Starmon: Why are you only paying attention to him!?
Taiki: They look pretty lively...
Akari: Ah! Doesn't that jacket look cool!?
Gatomon: It's not bad, but it's too flashy and doesn't leave a good image...
Starmon: Hey! Listen to us!
Taiki: (I don't really understand girls' hearts...)
Wizardmon: That's right. Kudou Taiki, I have something to ask of you...
P23:
Wizardmon: Could you let me do some research on yours or Kotone's Xros Loader?
Wizardmon: The ability to control space-time and DigiXros Digimon freely! It has such magnificent techniques all in one! It truly is interesting!
Taiki: Eh...I'm fine with it, but...
Taiki: You seem to be very interested in interesting stuff...
Wizardmon: Haha...that is just natural for a scholar.
Gatomon: Alright! We've decided!
Akari: Wizardmon, get over here!
Gatomon: Height 180cm...a bit of a slender build.
Akari: For the jacket! Use that guy's one, but change the color...
Wizardmon: That's very detailed...
Wizardmon: ? How does this look?
P24:
Gatomon: It...it's passable...
Akari: Good job, good job! You look really cool!
Wizardmon: I see...that's good.
Shoutmon: Alright! Let's get on the streets!
Starmon: YEAH! (in a desperate tone)
Taiki: Ah...
Taiki: I wanted to go check up on how my family's doing first...
Shoutmon: First up...food!
Starmon: Alright! (in a desperate tone)
Taiki: Oh well...never mind for now!
P25:
Shoutmon: (...Human streets sure are awesome...)
P26:
Ballistamon: (Even though there are so many people in one place, no fights are breaking out and they're all living peacefully...)
Dorulumon: (This place is full of buildings and vehicles...and the shops are just overflowing with products and information...)
Dorulumon: (The civilization of the humans who created this scenery is definitely something else...)
Shoutmon: (...But...)
Gatomon: Ahhhhhhh!
Akari: That was fun!
P27:
Wizardmon: But we used cash made from magic...I wonder if that's okay.
Gatomon: Ah...ahaha...it's not that much money anyway!
Akari: It's just for this time, so...
Taiki: How is it, Shoutmon? Our world that you've seen with your own eyes.
Shoutmon: ...Huh?
Shoutmon: Oh, right...
Shoutmon: Yeah...the human world is a great place...
Shoutmon: There aren't any wars like in the Digital World, and it's full of delicious food and fun games.
Tailmon: Well, this country is blessed with good wealth, even among the countries in the human world.
Shoutmon: ...however...
Shoutmon: How...how should I put it...it looks like everybody isn't looking very far ahead, or...
Shoutmon: Th...they're not 'rock' enough, or...?
P28:
Dorulumon: It's true that the people here are blessed with food, clothing and shelter, but...
Dorulumon: How should I say, it seems that the people here aren't completely satisfied...it feels like each and every person is carrying some uneasiness in them...
Ballistamon: I also saw some people...
Ballistamon: Making fun of all kinds of stuff, just to divert their uneasiness...
Shoutmon: It's just kinda...kinda..! Wrong!
Shoutmon: To be satisfied with just living...
Shoutmon: To have a dream...to have that fighting spirit to challenge oneself...it's just not there...!
Taiki: Even if you say that...not everyone has a dream that they're living for!
Taiki: I mean, it's not just something you can find if you look hard enough...
Shoutmon: No, wait! It's not something that big!
P29:
Ballistamon: People are only pure in their actions when they are clear on what they want to do and what they want to become. They tackle their problems head-on, while carrying the effects and responsibility of their actions on their shoulders...
Starmon: But it's true that this place is full of ambiguous people...
Taiki: ! That's...it's true that people who have a strong heart can afford to live in that manner.
Taiki: It's not as easy as it sounds...living with a dream, that is.
Dorulumon: (Taiki...?)
Cutemon: (Kyu...?)
Taiki: Not only that...if you live this kind of lifestyle in too extreme a way, you would become like Kiriha or something! If the world is filled with people like that who don't care about other's problems, the world will be in big trouble!
Shoutmon: Kiriha?
Shoutmon: Haha! It's true that his choice of words aren't too nice and he always takes things to the extreme!
Shoutmon: But I don't really hate him you know? He just kind seems like the type of guy who's straightforward with his feelings...
Taiki: I know, but...he said before to finish you all off, you know!?
P30:
Shoutmon: That's because he admits that we are warriors with will!
Shoutmon: I don't think he's the kind who randomly hurts people with no will to fight.
Taiki: If...if you approve of him that much...
Taiki: Why don't you just make Kiriha the King instead!
Shoutmon: Eh...? I...I didn't say that because I wanted you to leave...
Cutemon: Do...Dorulumon!
Dorulumon: What's wrong, Cutemo...WHA!?
Akari: ? Cutemon...?
Cutemon: E...excuse me, kyu!
P31:
Taiki: Kyu...?
Taiki: What's wrong? Do you need me for something?
Taiki: This is problematic...I have a little something to attend to...
Taiki: Are you lost? I can walk you to the police station over there...
Cutemon: Wha...
P32:
Taiki: Ah...
Cutemon: It's nothing, kyu~
Taiki: Kyu...?
Taiki: (Is it all the rage now...?)
Shoutmon: Eh...!?
Shoutmon: Ta-Taiki..!?
Taiki: D...didn't you mistake it for someone else...?
Starmon: But that...that's the jacket the Brother used to wear...!
Akari: Huh...?
Akari: H...hey, Taiki! Look at that...
Taiki: Eh...
P33:
Akari: Th...those cranes...
Taiki: It's...under construction?
Shoutmon: They're building another big one again!
Dorulumon: My sense of perspective is gonna go crazy!
Akari: Eh...!? But, see...the Sky Tree...
Akari: It should've been completed just a while before we went to the Digital World!
P34:
Dorulumon: Oh...
Gatomon: Hoho, that sure is a nice picture you took nya~ 3
Akari: Huhhhh!?
Shoutmon: Then what is it, did the tower get broken or something?
Taiki: (Are...are they doing repairs...? But it feels oddly familiar...)
Taiki: The date...!
Shoutmon: Taiki!?
Taiki: (That's right...isn't it weird that there's no commotion at all after that thing happened...!? What about the news...!?)
Shoutmon: What's up with you, Taiki!? Suddenly panicking like that...
News: 3rd April, 20XX. This is the evening news. This morning, an apartment at the Chiyoda ward...
Taiki: Th...this is...more than two months before...
Taiki: We went to the Digital World...!
Shoutmon: Haa!?
P35:
Spadamon: (This presence...)
Spadamon: (They're disguising as humans, but they're Digimon...!?)
Spadamon: (Who are they...!? How did they get to the human world? Don't tell me they're spies from the Bagra Army...?)
Spadamon: (The dimensional door that I thought could never be opened again has been opened! I have tell this to my master quickly!)
Spadamon: ...No...
Spadamon: If those guys are really from the Bagra Army...
Spadamon: Shall I dispose of them right here and now...!?
-Chapter 12 end-
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Again, I'm really sorry about not updating! I've just been so busy writing the chapters I needed for the Frontier Tamers Christmas special that I haven't had time to do this. Also, I might do another chapter in the unique coupling Digidrabbles thing. And I have an account on Flipnote Hatena I've been trying not to neglect… Ugh! I'm a busy girl!
On a separate note, for those who care, I've gotten Anubis up to Level 38, so he's really close to Mega Level, and I've started training in the Oil Refinery. My goal is to be able to defeat those Lvl. 48+ Kyubimon before I'm done there. Please wish me luck!
Thanks!
