Chapter 16
Me: Hello everyone! I have decided to put my entire mind this evening into finishing this Fanfiction!
Lunar: Hooray! You can start the epic side story now!
Me: I know, right! But only if I finish this one.
Tsukaimon: Well, then let's get going!
Petitmamon: Exactly! Pandamoniam own almost nothing written after this.
LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
P01:
Taiki: Let's go, everybody!
OmegaShoutmon! Dorulumon! ZekeGreymon! Ballistamon! Starmons! Sparrowmon!
Great Xros!
P02-03:
Shoutmon X7!
*The final battle!
Chapter 16 - Xros Wars! The Prologue to the End!
P04-05:
Lilithmon: Arrrrggghhhh! So you've finally come, you little brats!
Lilithmon: To think that you were able to find the Bagra Great Pandemonium, even though it was hidden in the Cloud Canyon of Jupiter Zone...!
Ha! The original spelling of my Pen Name!
Lilithmon: Although I must say you've done pretty well for being mere kids...your messing around has gone too far this time!
Lilithmon: If you didn't make it all the way here...
Lilithmon: You wouldn't have to experience the terror of these babies here, entrusted to me by His Majesty, the Emperor himself!
Jijimon: The wicked beast, Arkadimon...!
Jijimon: Hououmon, GranKuwagamon and Gryphonmon...! They...they're all demon beasts that have appeared in legends!
Kiriha: To them, this is their final defense line! They're not letting their guard down...
Akari: B...but there's so many of them...!
Akari: I don't think it's possible to take them on all at once, even for X7...!
Lilithmon: Your advance ends here!
Lilithmon: So...these babies have been living on an empty stomach for over a hundred years...
Lilithmon: Why don't you become a delicious snack for them...!
P06:
Dynasmon: Breath of Wyvern!
Lilithmon: What!?
Crusadermon: Urgent Fear!
UlforceVeedramon: So they made it in time...!
UlforceVeedramon: Alright, Taiki! Let me out too!
Taiki: UlforceVeedramon! What about your eyes...!?
UlforceVeedramon: It's alright! They were able to heal somewhat with the Xros Loader's power!
Taiki: Okay...!
Lilithmon: N...no way!
Lilithmon: There were still this many survivors after that battle...!?
Lilithmon: (The guardian knights of the Digital World who serve the god...!)
Taiki: Reload!
Taiki: UlforceVeedramon!
P07:
Royal Knights!
P08:
UlforceVeedramon: Only this many of us were able to gather...
Leopardmon: Kentaurosmon and Gallantmon are in other Zones suppressing other large factions of the Bagra Army.
Coronamon: But there are still many Knights we don't know the whereabouts of...!
Dynasmon: No problem...! Our side isn't the only one exhausted by this long battle. The situation wasn't the same long ago, during the time the skies were under assault!
Crusadermon: Let me kick the opponent's around beautifully, la la la~
UlforceVeedramon: I see...
UlforceVeedramon: (Although we don't know exactly how many Knights did survive, the fact that he isn't here right now...)
UlforceVeedramon: (I guess that really means he's...)
Shoutmon X7: UlforceVeedramon?
UlforceVeedramon: X7, take care of Lilithmon! We'll deal with the other minions! Especially that Digimon in the middle, Arkadimon, which uses troublesome techniques...
UlforceV-dramon: It's probably better to let us deal with it since we have more combat experience.
Shoutmon X7: OK! I'll leave that to you!
P09:
Shoutmon X7: Alright! Let's go, brothers!
Lilithmon: Devour them, crush them, just put an end to them!
P10-11:
Zenjirou: The Whamon motherships nearby Arkadimon are getting absorbed...!?
Craniummon: Don't get close to that guy carelessly!
Craniummon: The effects of its Dot Matrix can pulverize any kind of armor!
Leopardmon: Invading the minute bits of nanobyte-sized Noise Code found in the spaces between the 0 and 1 code that all digital matter and energy is expressed in...
Leopardmon: That is the underhanded demonic skill, 'Dot Matrix'! How this power works is unknown, and it's unavoidable!
P12:
Leopardmon: However...
Leopardmon: I, Leopardmon, have faced it once before...and I know its one true fatal weakness!
Leopardmon: (I have already analyzed that technique...)
Leopardmon: (And I have completed the perfect vaccine program for it!)
Leopardmon: Now! UlforceVeedramon!
UlforceVeedramon: Got it!
Lilithmon: W...what's happening? The Dot Matrix's effect isn't activating!
Lilithmon: No! This is...the destroyed data is being restored in an instant!?
UlforceVeedramon: (Your rampancy...)
UlforceVeedramon: (Will end today!)
P13:
UlforceVeedramon: Dragon Impulse X!
Lilithmon: I...I don't believe it...!
Lilithmon: The demon beasts that once overwhelmed the military forces belonging to the realm of the gods were beaten so easily...!?
Shoutmon X7: Lilithmon! Now's not the time for you to be looking away either!
Lilithmon: Don't...
P14-15:
Lilithmon: Don't you get cocky in front of me!
Lilithmon: Why...
Lilithmon: Why aren't you stopping!
Lilithmon: Didn't my strongest attack magic just hit you!?
Shoutmon X7: Xros Burning Rocker!
Lilithmon: Gyaaahhhh!?
P16:
Lilithmon: (I...I can't take it anymore!)
Lilithmon: (His strength has already far surpassed that of an average demon lord class Digimon's power...!)
Shoutmon X7: Ah! Stop right there, you!
Zenjirou: Looks like the enemy has routed after their main forces were defeated.
Taiki: We don't have to pursue them for no reason!
Taiki: Bagramon and Tactimon are still in that pandemonium!
Taiki: If we don't plan out a good attack, I don't know if we'll be able to withstand any counterattack!
Lilithmon: (Where is Blastmon fooling around at this kind of time!)
Lilithmon: (Don't tell me even you got defeated by the likes of them...!?)
P17:
Digimon: It's the allied forces' victory! We've finally chased the Bagra Army all the way to the Great Pandemonium!
After returning to the Digital World, our allied forces of Xros Heart and Blue Flare...
We merged with the resistance armies in each Zone to chase the Bagra Army, and finally decided on and succeeded in landing in the enemy headquarters, Jupiter Zone.
And we were able to advance at an astounding speed that made all the past disadvantages we had seem untrue...
Taiki: Let's see...
Taiki: It should be about time for Kotone and the others who've been to the real world to come back...
Akari: Ah!
Sparrowmon: We're baaaaack! The human world was so much funnnnn!
P18:
Taiki: How was it?
Wizardmon: We've cleared as many traces of Digimon left in the human world as we could.
Akari: (Sparrowmon!?)
*Monimon (Capybara)
Wizardmon: We altered the information in the surveillance cameras and spread rumors through the internet. And we used direct magic to manipulate the memories of people who strongly testified that they 'saw monsters'...it was tough.
Gatomon: We didn't have much time to have fun at all thanks to that!
Taiki: It would cause great confusion if knowledge about Digimon becomes widely known throughout the human world... Thanks for the hard work!
Wizardmon: Even though my research has progressed this far...I didn't really get a chance to test it out...
Taiki:?
Taiki: What's that...!?
P19:
Wizardmon: They're Xros Loaders.
Wizardmon: I reproduced them using Taiki and Kotone's as reference.
All: Ehhhhhhhhh!?
Taiki: Is...is that even possible!?
Wizardmon: Although it's true that it is a very elaborate design and some knowledge on magic is required...in the end, a Xros Loader is really just a machine.
Wizardmon: On the other hand, what's really amazing is the idea of how the Xros Code, only present in a fraction of people, is used.
Wizardmon: The creator who first realized this in an era without DigiXros must be a true genius.
Wizardmon: With that, I thought we could start scouting people who have this Xros Code and increase our army's strength, but...
Akari: T...that was a big plan you got there...
Taiki: (Spadamon and UlforceVeedramon, who came from the Digital World a few hundred years ago, didn't know about the existence of the Xros Loader or DigiXros...so that means the legends of Generals were born in between these few hundred years.)
Taiki: (The ability to freely fuse Digimon together and to cross the paths of dimensions...)
Taiki: (...The one who first created the Xros Loader was most likely...)
P20:
Taiki: (However...if what I predicted was correct...)
Taiki: (Then why did he make something like this and summon us to the Digital World...?)
Taiki: (Not only that, after checking with Kiriha and Kotone...)
Taiki: (The only ones who crossed over time to come to the Digital World from the future human world...)
Taiki: (Were the three of us...!)
Taiki: (This sign...what is it supposed to mean?)
Taiki: (There must still be something we don't know...there might even be something going on behind the scenes of this war that even Emperor Bagramon is unaware of...?)
Kiriha: There's something fishy going on.
Taiki: Eh...!? Wha...what is!?
Zenjirou: (I want a drink too...)
Ranamon: (There's none for you)
Kiriha: The way they're keeping so silent. Don't you think so too?
Kiriha: Even though we've got them surrounded, they haven't shown any signs of counterattacking or reconnaissance at all.
Kiriha: On the other hand, it doesn't seem like there are any wavering soldiers trying to flee either.
P21:
Kiriha: Gathering from what UlforceVeedramon said...
Kiriha: The reason why the Bagra Army started this war was to search for the 'two headed red-black dragon', so it attacked when most of the Royal Knights were watching over the realm of the gods, and was able to separate the Knights by dividing the Digital World into numerous Zones.
Kiriha: Looking at it the other way around, if the Bagra Army had to take on all the Royal Knights at once...
Kiriha: The Bagra Army probably didn't have enough manpower to secure a win against them.
Kiriha: In the rough one year gap, their battle strength has probably been exhausted from the fighting...and now that about half of the Royal Knights have joined our alliance, you could say that in the battle situation, they're at a huge disadvantage. So what on earth is this...? This silence!
Kiriha: I can't read Emperor Bagramon's mind on what he's plotting. It's either he's hiding some secret plan that can turn the whole situation around, or...
Kiriha: He has a goal aside from winning or losing the war...
P22:
Zenjirou: Even so...
Zenjirou: I expected just as much from you, but you sure have a lot about wars going on in your head for a modern human being...
Kiriha: Hmph. I have been reading the war strategy books in my father's study ever since I was a kid.
Gatomon: Your parents must be just like you...
Kiriha: Of course! Even though they're dead, they were able to build up a huge fortune in just one generation. They were skilled businessmen and I respect them!
Kiriha: However...when my father passed away due to illness, all my much older brothers thought of was how to grab a bit more for their inheritance. Even if they lived only for their own self-indulgence...
Kiriha: They treated me as a complete outsider, even though I said we had to take over the business and expand it.
Kiriha: Although I couldn't care less about my useless older brothers...I lost my enterprising spirit in order to maintain the momentary peace I have every day...I thought that the way to achieve success in life in the current era was to tell flimsy lies to everyone else and even your own heart, and allow your soul to rot.
Kiriha: I was extremely angry...for no reason.
P23:
Kiriha: At that point, there is nothing but truth in war strategy...
Kiriha: Some people with great ambitions can be so sincere with their way of life, even in this era where we don't even know when we'll die.
Kiriha: And at that perfect time, I was led by the Xros Loader's voice and met with these guys.
Kiriha: I don't think I need to say what happened after that.
Kiriha: Here, I live and fight...
Kiriha: I continue challenging myself to see exactly how high I can reach...and one day, I die.
Kiriha: To me, that is my ideal way of life!
MailBirdramon: (...However)
MailBirdramon: (Kiriha has changed a bit recently.)
MailBirdramon: (He has started to realize that among humans...)
MailBirdramon: (There are also others like him who are sincerely trying to find their own way of life...)
P24:
UlforceVeedramon: How great it is to be young.
UlforceVeedramon: Everybody is finding their own way of life...it reminds me of when I was young!
Akari: I still think you're pretty childish even now...
UlforceVeedramon: I used to be even younger! Before I became a Royal Knight, I went on adventures with my partner...
UlforceVeedramon: And we even saved the world about once or twice!
Akari: There you go, exaggerating again...
Spadamon: He's not exaggerating!
Spadamon: At the end of such long adventures, he would have polished his conviction abilities greatly. If not, 'god' wouldn't have chosen him as a Royal Knight!
Spadamon: Master is a true hero!
UlforceVeedramon: That's right... The Digital World faced many huge crises even before this war...and those times, the power of human children was borrowed, just like now, to help overcome them.
UlforceVeedramon: I believe that the same will hold true for this time too.
P25:
UlforceVeedramon: And...about what will happen after this battle is over.
UlforceVeedramon: I have something that I must tell you about now.
Akari: What is it...?
UlforceVeedramon: The gate that holds the Digital World and the human world together usually opens only when there is a great abnormality happening to the Digital World which causes space-time to become unstable...This time, I think the cause is the Digital World itself being broken up into numerous Zones.
UlforceVeedramon: If you defeat Emperor Bagramon and gather all of the Code Crowns...this world will probably return to being in one piece again.
UlforceVeedramon: ...When that happens, I'm afraid to say...
Taiki: ...That is...
Shoutmon: Could it be...
Shoutmon: What!?
P26:
Coronamon: Enemy attack! It's an enemy attack!
Coronamon: A giant army of Digimon of unknown affiliation is coming from a direction completely different from where the pandemonium is located...!
Kiriha: It's an ambush...!? We should have already invaded the other Zones and suppressed all their troops there!
Kiriha: Where could they have hidden...!?
Pandamon: A...about that...
Coronamon: That's not it! There's something off!
Coronamon: It was an army...or should I say swarm of giant, hideous Digimon we've never seen before...
Coronamon: They appeared not only here, but also nearby the pandemonium where they were fighting the Bagra Army's garrison!
Kiriha: ...They're not from the...Bagra...Army...?
Taiki: Don't tell me...!
P27:
Zenjirou: Wha...what do we do, Taiki! Even though we went through all the trouble to surround them...
Zenjirou: We don't have the time to make adjustments or reorganize our formation...!
Taiki: You're right...
Taiki: Let's go! To the pandemonium!
Taiki: I have the feeling that something bad's going to happen...! We have no choice but to go to the center of everything that's happening!
UlforceVeedramon: We'll leave that to you! We Royal Knights will take on the enemies outside.
P28:
UlforceVeedramon: The heroes that led us through the fight this time are none other than you lot!
UlforceVeedramon: Please defeat Emperor Bagramon and return peace to this world!
Kotone: Yessir! Leave it to us!
Zenjirou: S-s-s-suddenly I feel all fired up!?
Shoutmon: ...
Shoutmon: (I knew it all along...what will happen to Taiki and the others once this battle is over...!)
Shoutmon: (But that's only natural. They have a human's future waiting for them...)
Taiki: ...
Taiki: Are you okay, Shoutmon? We've battled a lot using DX and X7 over the past two months...
Shoutmon: Heh...!
Shoutmon: Who do you think you're talking to...
Shoutmon: (What about it...! I just have to give it my all and let it resonate till the end...!
Shoutmon: I'm the future Digimon King...Shoutmon, got it!?
P29:
Shoutmon: Alright, brothers! Let's go and give the boss sitting still in his chair a big surprise!
Lilithmon: Your Highness...
P30:
Lilithmon: The mysterious Digimon army that suddenly appeared is attacking both the Bagra Army and the alliance army indiscriminately, and the battlefield is now in complete confusion.
Lilithmon: I think it's only a matter of time before the white garrison is totally destroyed...
Bagramon: Hmmm...very well.
Bagramon: This means that all the main actors that will decide everything have gathered.
Lilithmon: Your Highness...?
Bagramon: The battle that has spanned ages is finally coming to an end...what's left is only to wait for the answer to appear.
Bagramon: You have also fought very well up till now...Lilithmon.
Lilithmon: ! Urk...
P31:
Lilithmon: Someone of humble birth such as I would never be able to understand your Highness's profound way of thinking...However...
Lilithmon: This is also the will of a woman. Please allow me to protect the throne belonging to you, whom I admire...to the very end...!
Bagramon: ...Is that so...very well then...
Bagramon: I'll leave this to you...to the end.
Tactimon: They have come.
Tactimon: The ones who possess pieces of the answer...who will decide the future of the Digital World...!
P34:
Shoutmon X7: Heh...!
Shoutmon X7: Seems like two of the Three Commanders are left...
Shoutmon X7: Looks like it'll be a spectacular last battle, won't it!
P35:
Tactimon: Your Highness...
Tactimon: The final battlefield is right in front of us.
Tactimon: The seal that you have granted to my sword...I'd like to request for it to be released.
Tactimon: It is merely the selfish whims of a warrior. If I may...
Bagramon: Very well.
Bagramon: The carnage that sleeps within you...let it out to your heart's content!
*The demon sword is released!
