Chapter 20

Me: Hey everyone! We're nearing the end of the Manga!

Lunar: Yay! Then you'll have more time for our Fanfic!

Me: Sort of… I think I'm going to start another one.

Dracomon: WHY CRUEL WORLD!? Why must you make another Fanfic!?

Me: Because it's a good idea, that's why.

Tsukaimon: Grr… Pandamoniam own nothing…

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL LLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

P01:

*The reckless battle...begins!

Bagramon: A human made of flesh and blood is trying to fight a demon lord-class Digimon...

Bagramon: I won't say it's foolish. With your gutsy motivation...

Bagramon: You can say that is the talent of a General...Kudou Taiki!

Taiki: (I can't die from this attack!)

Taiki: (I can't let myself be critically wounded, either...!)

P02-03:

Chapter 20 - Xros Miracle! Xros Miracle! Reel in a Sliver of Hope!

*I can't lose!

Taiki: Kiriha! Kotone! Now's your chance!

Kiriha: I won't say anything for certain, but...don't you fall here, Kudou Taiki!

Bagramon: Mmh!

Taiki: Both the Darkness Loader and Nene are in ZeedMilleniumon's center...!

Taiki: It'll be difficult for you to attack at full power when facing that direction, right!?

Bagramon: What are you planning...?

Kiriha: You might still be young, but I see you as a proper lady now! You can do it, can't you!?

Kotone: I can!

P04:

Bagramon: So you plan on using the Xros Loader to reach out to her consciousness? However...!

Bagramon: !

Bombmon: I'll do it...!

Taiki: Didn't I tell you...

Taiki: That your opponent is me!

Bagramon: ...Even though I praised you...

Bagramon: I don't wish to use words such as 'impudent' to describe you, Kudou Taiki...!

Taiki: Say whatever you want!

Bombmon: I did it...! I did it...!

P05:

Kotone: ?...Where is this..?

Kiriha: It looks like...using the Xros Loader, only our consciousness is experiencing another world right now.

Kiriha: So this is pretty much the inside of Amano Nene's dream...looks like a really gloomy world to me...

Kotone: Ah...!

Kotone: Big sister...!

P06:

Kotone: Whoaahhh! Big sisterrrr! Big sisterrrrr! You're okay~!

Kiriha: We're finally here to get you, Amano Nene...!

Kotone: Come on, let's get out of this place!

Kiriha: Yeah! And defeat this monster too...

Nene: ...n't...go back...

Kotone: ...!?

Nene: I...can't go back...

Nene: I...hurt so many people...lied to so many people...

Nene: I deceived my closest friends and corrupted this heart of mine...I have nowhere to go back to...

Kiriha: What are you saying...

Kotone: It's because big sister worked so hard that we have a chance of saving the world now!

Kiriha: !

P07:

Shademon: I won't...return her...

Shademon: I need her for my ambition...

Kiriha: Don't tell me...Shademon!? Arghh!

Shademon: You all can...fall into my Death Crystal (dream) too...

Kiriha: I see...! So you're the one who keeps making her see those nightmares...

Kiriha: Just great! I also came here because I have something to settle with you...

Shademon: ?

P08:

Taiki: Gahhh!

Taiki: Grrrr...ouch...

Bagramon: Amano Nene's consciousness is being protected by Shademon.

Bagramon: Right now, the hearts of those two people are probably being devoured by the darkness as well...

Bagramon: Why don't you...go to rest now. There is no need for you to continue suffering.

Bagramon: Even if you give up here, nobody would doubt your bravery and dedication...

Taiki: Owowowow...you're...kind...

Taiki: It's because you're kind that...

Taiki: You didn't want to put this world through unhappiness, so you decided to destroy this world first...

Taiki: I can at least understand your feelings there.

Taiki: However, why then did you become the head of an evil empire and spread unhappiness all around!?

Taiki: I thought you didn't wish to have any excessive destruction...!

P09:

Bagramon: Is it wrong for my acts of evil to be based on evil...?

Bagramon: In this world, Digimon are born as either gods or demons, as either good or evil. This nature of theirs will not change even when they die.

Bagramon: It is the fate of Digimon who were born evil to bring misfortune upon the world...

Bagramon: And to have their honor stripped and then destroyed in the name of justice...

Bagramon: Just like how my pitiful brother...

Bagramon: Could never love the world...!

Bagramon: Why does such inequality exist...?

Bagramon: Long ago, when I used to be an archangel, I questioned Homeostasis about this countless times...

Bagramon: However, Homeostasis would answer 'in order for me to watch over' every time...

Bagramon: Due to that, I lost my temper and challenged god itself, stating that the world's very structure was wrong...and lost that challenge.

Bagramon: Half of my body was scorched by lightning...even my pure-white wings had become charred black and tattered...

Bagramon: Even though I was on the verge of death after having fallen to a remote area of the earth...

Bagramon: Solely by chance, I discovered it...

P10-11:

Bagramon: The main server of the gods...

Bagramon: The tree of information, Yggdrasil...!

Bagramon: There was a time where the AI controlling this system brought its logical thinking to an extreme, such that it treated the human world as a threat to be destroyed, and thus the system had to be destroyed quickly...

Bagramon: Homeostasis [The one who wishes for harmony] was the calm, protective god created based on the lesson it learnt from that incident...

Bagramon: I cut out a part of the sacred tree to replace the half of my body that I lost and extend my life...

Bagramon: At the same time, I gained great power and vast knowledge...? From then on, I knew!

Bagramon: Once upon a time...evolution was more common than even Digimon themselves.

Bagramon: We were once a species that had the power to 'change' when we strongly wished for it...!

P12:

Bagramon: ...However, as dreams started disappearing from humans' hearts...

Bagramon: The nature of the truth of our world changed...we became unable to believe that we could change.

Taiki: !? B...but...! Then why doesn't anyone know about this!?

Taiki: The long-living Jijimon...the most knowledgeable among the Royal Knights, Leopardmon...all of them didn't know about evolution at all...!

Bagramon: It is because history itself has changed, Kudou Taiki.

Bagramon: To the Digital World, records and history are the same thing.

Bagramon: It is different from the human world...you could even call the warped time axis of this world another universe.

Bagramon: If the consciousness of humans were changed, the history of this world would change as well...!

Bagramon: Stored in Yggdrasil's mainframe was the recorded data of many Digimon that have lived in the past...

Bagramon: I formed the foundation of my army reconstructing that data and giving them temporary souls...

Bagramon: I made my empire by rallying evil Digimon from all around the world.

Bagramon: In order to create a support for them...as well as to gain the ability to see the fate of this world...!

P13:

Bagramon: And I got the answer...!

Bagramon: There is no more time left before this world gets devoured by fear and corruption!

Bagramon: I will finish this world off myself in order to protect the dignity of all of the souls out there!

Taiki: New meetings can...!

Taiki: They can give birth to new hope in humans' hearts over again!

Taiki: I won't let you destroy this world based on the conclusion you formed by yourself!

Bagramon: What can the reasoning of a child save...! There is no use trying to explain to you any more...!

Taiki: I'm not done yet! I'll struggle on!

Shoutmon X7!

Xros Open!

Bagramon: !

P14:

Shoutmon: Uwroooaaaahhhh!

Bagramon: What...!?

Bagramon: (This Code is...!)

Ballistamon: We will give all of our energy to support Shoutmon, Taiki and the others' existence...!

MailBirdramon: However...we don't have X7's superpower anymore!

Dorulumon: We only have...tens of seconds left...!

Bagramon: (The Royal Knight, Omegamon...!?)

Bagramon: (The one that I took on together with Tactimon...)

Bagramon: Not only that, by using the Yggdrasil system to crack the secret Omega Enforce, he was finally able to obtain a part of the strongest warrior's data...

Bagramon: (It was inherited by that boy...!?)

Bagramon: You...! Do you still wish to oppose my order even on the brink of destruction...!

P15:

Shademon: Just...give up... You shall gain repose within this darkness...

Kiriha: Grr...as if I'll let that happen...!

Kiriha: Open your eyes, Amano Nene! We're going home! A lady like you should not meet her end rotting down here!

Nene: N...no...!

Nene: Just...leave me...the sins that I've committed are...too big...

Nene: I cannot...I should not be forgiven...!

Kiriha: Forgive you!? How arrogant!

Kiriha: Whether to forgive or not isn't decided by the person to be forgiven...!

Kiriha: That will be decided by me!

Kotone: (Ehhhhhh!?)

P16:

Kiriha: Sins...? What about them!? You're a strong lady! No matter how heavy your sins, continue walking and don't get pulled back!

Kiriha: Things like that are nothing more than a small flower decoration on your beauty!

Nene: What are...you...

Nene: What are you talking about...?

Kiriha: I'm telling you, I've been captivated by your noble airs! So don't give up here!

Kiriha: I'll definitely make you mine...!

Kotone: Big sister...! I...I want to continue being pampered by you...! But as much as I want that...

Kotone: I want to save big sis too...! I want us to live together, to support each other...!

P17:

Kiriha: If the load's too heavy for you to handle, there's plenty of other people willing to lend you a hand...

Kiriha: Even this kid...she's become way stronger than when you've known her...!

Kiriha: So, Nene...fill your heart with hope! You've met us!

Kiriha: As long as we have that bond...it can give rise to infinite hope...!

Bagramon: Hmmm...!?

Bagramon: What is going on...!?

Taiki: Bagramon! Did you hand the Shademon larva to your brother...just to hand him despair...!?

Bagramon: !? What are you talking about...!

Taiki: I'm talking about the possibilities that you've created without even knowing!

Taiki: The evolution of Shademon that took place when it was fed with hearts of despair...you could say that's one form of dark evolution!

P18-19:

Taiki: Then how about...if it were fed hearts of hope instead...

Shademon evolve!

Luminamon!

Nene: Taiki...! Everyone...! I...! I...!

Bagramon: What is...this...!? A potential in Shademon that even I did not know of...!?

Kotone: We have to use all of our Xros Codes!

Kiriha: We have four peoples' worth of Xros Codes in our hands now!

Taiki: Alright...Nene! Make a future for everyone...!

Bagramon: D...don't tell me, you are...!?

Bagramon: Stop it right now! Stop!

Bagramon: Even if you do that, the world will only overflow with despair...!

Shoutmon: Uwoaaarrr!

Bagramon: Grr...!?

P20-21:

Shoutmon: Go, Taiki! Strike with all your might!

Shoutmon: With our...

Shout to the future!

All: ZeedMilleniummon...!

Forced Xros Open!

*Clear the darkness!
