Digimon Xros Wars! Alternate Universe 02! Chapter 81: X0VA5- DXWvADV(01), a Digimon + Homestuck Crossover fanfic

A.N.: DISCLAIMER! There is a section of jokes in this chapter that relies on GOOGLE TRANSLATE, the joke it is, to be understood in English, and was used to translate certain lines into foreign languages in the first place. I, DTC, take no responsibility for what ever garbled nonsense may come out of Google's translations if the translations should come out garbled. That said. Please do enjoy this chapter. I think it's easily one of the most emotional of the X0VA's so far.

EDIT: Found some stray typos in this, and realized I needed to fix them. So hold on for a few moments...

DIGITAL WORLD: ADV1B10DTL816

AUGUST 8TH, 1999, DIGITAL WORLD STANDARD TIME.

INSIDE THE SPIRAL MOUNTAIN HELL'S FIELD.

6:18 A.M.

MetalSeadramon waited beneath the murky waters of Spiral Mountain's ocean sector.

'The intruding SpaceTrailmon should be coming past any moment now,' he thought.

So focused on the world above was he that he failed to hear the whirring sound beneath him.

WOOSH- the camera cut underground to view KinGRavemon tunneling underneath the ocean, cutting a massive path into place for the upcoming sneak attack.

Behind him- Kaiyumi, Mizuki, and Hangyomon stood at the ready for the completion of the tunnel.

Kaiyumi grinned- over the last two years she'd hit a growth spurt, and now, instead of being only just around waist height with Mizuki, she was now at shoulder height. "Keep it up, Simon!"

"Right!" KinGRavemon nodded. "Just get ready to run! It should be ready in about a minute now...!"

Kaiyumi nodded to Mizuki, who nodded back and held up her Xros Loader.

*Cue DigiXros*

"TURUIEMON!" Mizuki called out.

"Yo!" Kaiyumi grinned as she shifted into her Digimon form- which was now a Turuiemon by default.

"HANGYOMON!" Mizuki continued.

"Fishin' Time!" Hangyomon twirled a spear around with a grin on his face.

"DIGI-XROS!" Mizuki swept the Xros Loader in a semi-circle in front of her- it's screen let loose a blinding flash of light and moments later...

"DIGI-XROS!"

Turuiemon and Hangyomon shot together into a single form... Turuiemon wearing a scuba suit.

"TURUIEMON SCUBA MODE!"

"Here we go!" KinGRavemon shouted as he took his drill at an angle upwards...

"Hup!" Mizuki held her breath as she shifted into her Digimon form- Dolphmon.

*cut to WE ARE XROS HEART*

The final layer of ground was pierced and then all of the waters of the ocean flooded into the tunnel- flushing down and out towards the beginning of the tunnel...

Stand up, my Friends!

This effect was so dramatic that it made MetalSeadramon panic and flail around as the water around him suddenly was pulled downwards...!

They can't stop our BURNING SOULS!

"What the-!?"

It was then that two tiny forms shot out of the suddenly appearing whirlpool- KinGRavemon and Turuiemon S.

Anywhere you go, you're not alone.

"Hey," KinGRavemon switched the massive drill for two thin swords, "show us that smile of yours!"

"Huh?" MetalSeadramon opened his mouth in confusion rather than in compliance with the command- revealing the Hourglass logo of Quartzmon tatooed to his tongue.

My bond with my friends is my trump card!

"Let's do this!" Turuiemon S drew two long swords- each with ocean prints on the blades.

I'll burn up my life and RO-A-R!

And then the two digimon shot forwards at speeds beyond impossible- aided by the fact that there was presently no air resistance in the Hell's Field at all- four blades glimmering in the light as they dove towards MetalSeadramon- who was still stuck in the currents that were pulling him down towards the whirlpool.

Now let's melt together into one GREAT XROS!

"OCEAN TWIN CUTTER!"

"STAR BURST STREAM!"

Before MetalSeadramon could react- four blades were jammed straight into his mouth and forced his jaw wide open- unable to close it. "FWEH!?" He couldn't even talk because of it.

Send me everyone's bursting Shouts!

Turuiemon S dove to the side as far away as she possibly could while KinGRavemon summoned a drill on his right arm, "GIGA...!" he held it up above his head, and it grew massively. "DORILLU...!"

Now let our Great Hearts be born and be the fangs of tomorrow!

He pulled back, and revved the drill up to incredible speeds in a single second before plowing forward through MetalSeadramon's open mouth-

"BUREIIIKAAAA!"

Take off and fight! WE ARE XROS HEART!

There was a single moment as KinGRavemon tore through all of MetalSeadramon- head to tail- and then burst out of the ocean before striking a pose in the air.

MetalSeadramon floated still in the currents for a moment- then exploded dramatically- metal flying off in an X shape from the explosion- then exploded once more- even more metal flying away in a + shape from the secondary explosion- and finally all of the remaining pieces exploded individually.

KinGRavemon dismissed the drill- and then caught Turuiemon S's swords with his hands and then his own with his wings as they flew out of the explosion.

Meanwhile- on the SpaceTrailmon bridge- Tai and his Agumon stared at the sight with wide open jaws.

"And the Gurren Lagann Drills keep on spinning," Marcus shook his head with a chuckle.

"Quite the show-offs, eh Boss?" Marcus's Agumon partner laughed along side it.

The screen cut to black as a normal, Adventure style Digivice appeared before the camera. There was a flash of red- and the Xros Heart logo appeared on Digivice's screen even as text wrote itself above and below the Digivice:

DIGIMON XROS WARS

VS.

DIGIMON ADVENTURE

Hikari Yagami watched her younger, alternate self with a steadfast curiosity. There were a few subtle differences, such as the tone of voice used or the rhythm of speech, when compared to her own memories of how she talked at that age- but otherwise, the younger Hikari seemed pretty much identical to the young Kari.

Apparently the main difference of this dimension was that the girl had gone to summer camp with the original seven, giving the Digital World the full eight from the onset. That had lead into some other variables, such as all of the kids being able to power their Digimon up into their highest forms just shortly before the battle with VenomMyotismon.

"And then we flew into the TV station and started looking for Myotismon...!" Kari was explaining the latest adventures to everyone who wanted to listen as they flew towards the next Dark Master.

Hikari looked around the room- her teammates, Daisuke, Miyako, Iori, Takeru, and Ken, were paying attention to what was being said. She had to admit, they were taking all of this a lot better than she'd expected.

Time Travel, as the Watch Maker had told her, was an inherently risky business, and when compounded upon by Inter Dimensional travel as well? Well...That was just asking for trouble.

Thankfully- it seemed that the events leading up to the destruction of that old earth also wound out into other dimensions- thus ensuring that things went smoothly to some degree.

That said- this trip was nothing like anyone had expected.

When Miyako had complained about not being able to return home, the simple solution of just going back to after they'd left appeared before her, as offered by Hikari herself. Iori constantly questioned how any of this was possible, and how much of the technology worked. Takeru accepted most of it rather easily- "Anything's possible," he'd said. Ken was just as accepting, although he seemed to have seen a bit more than the others had at this point. And as for Daisuke?

Besides the one point where he'd jokingly asked her what the other him did to earn flirting privileges, Daisuke had been oddly silent through out the trip thus far.

It was slightly unnerving, she had to admit. For a moment she'd wondered if he'd been replaced by another Daisuke from yet another alternate dimension, but she had to mentally slap herself due to that stupid thought.

It was then that Shoutmon spoke over the ship's radio: "I want Team meetings in five minutes, Everyone! Group leaders, meet on the bridge now."

Marcus Damon had a bad feeling about today.

It was like Star Wars, you exit hyper space and see nothing but asteroids where a planet should be.

That was the feeling he'd gotten when they'd entered this Hell's Field.

It was getting worse now.

"Since MetalSeadramon decided to throw himself at us without any backup," Shoutmon explained, "that's one of the four Tower signals we've detected eliminated so far. Since VenomMyotismon had a Tower signal too, and he was super charged by Quartzmon, we can safely assume that the other three Dark Masters are super charged too." He pointed at the three remaining dots on the screen behind him. "Judging by their positions, and the info Hikari-chan gave us with regards to her universe's Dark masters," Hikari waved slightly to the room at that remark, "we're fairly certain which of these three are the remaining Dark Masters."

"Our plan originally was to split up into four teams to deal with them," Akari spoke up next, "but since the standard Tower vulnerability was confirmed on MetalSeadramon-" Kaiyumi flashed a grin at that- "we're fairly certain that we can locate and terminate the remaining three Dark Masters without incident, and, if things follow along like in Hikari's universe, we can probably take out their original boss without too much trouble." Akari narrowed her eyes, "However! We can't be certain that this isn't what Quartzmon expects us to think. The Digi-Quartzing of this Digital World, combined with the Hell's Field, presents us with a combination challenge we aren't sure we can beat."

"Since there are three remaining signals," Kaiyumi took center stage next, "we'll be splitting up into four teams with at least three heavy hitters on each team. Three will confront the Dark Masters one-on-one while the fourth team goes to investigate the heart of the Hell's Field, which we've managed to partially locate via echo scans as being at the very center of Spiral Mountain." She held up a Xros Time Wrister- once more modified with a small screen added to the top. "I've taken the liberty of modifying the XT Wristers with a scanner screen that's tied up into SpaceTrailmon's systems and my own laptop. They'll also let you track the Tower signals down independently from our ship. These new screens just plug into your existing wristers just fine, and I'll have a box of them set out on the kitchen table after this. So be sure to grab one."

"As for the teams?" Shoutmon grinned, "That's the fun part. We've got enough people here to take the whole teams that are already gathered up. Team A will consist of This Universes' Taichi and his team, along with Marcus, me, and Akari."

"Alright," Marcus smirked slightly, "so who are we going after?"

"Piedmon," Kaiyumi answered, "arguably the toughest of the bunch."

"Sweet," Marcus's Agumon chuckled, "we're going straight to confront GLaDOS then!"

"Team B will be Hikari-chan's team," Shoutmon continued, "plus Gureimon, Kiriha, and Davis."

"Nice, stick me and other me on the same team, I'm sure that'll go over well." Davis rolled his eyes, "So which one are we going after, Machinedramon?"

"Machinedramon," Kaiyumi confirmed, "the heavy hitter. He shouldn't give you too much trouble though. They're inherently slow to move- even more so if you can restrict their movements."

"Understood," Hikari nodded.

"Team C will be Takuya's team," Shoutmon continued, "with them as Susanoomon, having Beelzebmon and Takato there will make Puppetmon easy enough to take down."

"We get the puppet?" Takuya scowled, "Really?"

"They're tricky, I'll have you know," Kaiyumi pouted, "I just hate that you guys have to go after someone who looks like a friend of ours."

"That didn't stop you from frying enemy Raidramon and Saggitarimon in Canyon Land," Davis remarked with a humoring grin on his face, "now did it?"

"Good point," Kaiyumi flashed a grin back.

"Finally, Team D." Shoutmon coughed, "That'll be everyone else, basically."

"Our Wristers will triangulate the coordinates of the core of the Field," Kaiyumi explained, "and those coordinates will be fed into the computer. Everyone else will fly down into the Hell's Field core and see if there's a way of disabling it should it fail to terminate upon the Dark Masters deaths."

"Alright," Shoutmon clapped his hands, "once we defeat the Dark Masters, and their boss, this Digital World should return to normal. Then it's business as usual- we clean out- pack up- and it's like we were never even here."

Kiriha watched as SpaceTrailmon took off towards the next destination. Behind him was Davis, and the other universes' team of him and the others, plus their Digimon.

Kiriha turned towards Hikari, "Alright, does any of this look familiar?"

"Which part?" Hikari asked. "Digi-Quartz, or Spiral Mountain?"

"The latter, preferably," Kiriha said.

"Hm. Well..." Hikari frowned as she glanced about, "I think those buildings over there are new. I didn't recognize it from the air."

"Alright, we'll head that way then," Davis decided, and started walking off.

"Lead on, then," Kiriha smiled as he stepped to the side.

As they walked, Hikari slipped up ahead to the front to chat with Davis and Kiriha, leaving the rest of her team slightly behind to talk among themselves.

"So...I gotta wonder," Miyako began, "when exactly did Hikari meet these guys, and why didn't she tell us?"

"Logically," Iori ventured a guess, "I'd say it would be around that time just before we lost the first Destiny Stone. She seemed stressed out all of a sudden that day, remember?"

"Yeah, that was weird," Takeru agreed, "she never told me what it was about. Just sort of evaded my questions actually...Then we were focused on the Destiny Stones and I forgot all about it..."

"What does it matter anyways?" Ken asked, "It's not like it was a major world changing experience for us. Everything went along as it was supposed to. Didn't it?"

"Up until you got kidnapped by Arukenimon," Takeru spoke up, "and Daemon got blown up in a massive rainbow explosion, you mean?"

"Yeah, besides that," Ken smirked slightly, then turned towards Daisuke. "What do you think, Daisuke?"

"I..." Daisuke stopped in his tracks, and looked up to the sky, eyes widening, "I've gotta bad feeling about this...!"

Suddenly- a massive- half-mile high wall fell before his group, blocking the path forward as the ground shook mildly from the impact.

"What the-?" Kiriha tensed up even as Gureimon and MailBirdramon reloaded from his Xros Loader.

*cue Kiriha ~ The Blue Flare ~*

"What..." echoed a loud, mechanical voice from behind them, forcing everyone to spin around to face the massive beast now blocking the other way out. "'What' is the question indeed."

Was there any doubt to who it was?

"Machinedramon!" Hikari called out, "What's the meaning of this!?"

"Isn't it obvious?" The machine would have smirked if it's jaw weren't fixed. "I'm preventing you all from dashing on ahead and disabling the Dark Tower I've installed in the plaza just beyond."

"A Dark Tower?" Davis snarled, "So that means we can't reach our higher levels?"

[0:12]

"No...!" Machinedramon laughed, "In fact, the design has even been improved upon, inter dimensional meddlers! You cannot use your fancy Armor Evolution nor that fancy "Time Burst"-" he said it mockingly- "To achieve your future forms." Kiriha reached for his Xros Loader.
"Ah Ah Ah! I wouldn't do that if I were you...!"

Kiriha frowned, "And why not?"

"Attempting to Digi-Xros your Digimon together will result in a complete and utter failure! In fact, it will cause them pain for even trying to do it!" Machinedramon would definitely be smirking if his jaw allowed it. The absolute venom dripping off of his voice said it all.

"And let me guess," Ken frowned at the machine, "you have more modified Dark Towers being guarded by Puppetmon and Piedmon, don't you?"

[0:30]

"Oh how I wish it were so...!" Machinedramon lamented, "However, my modified tower is but my own. Piedmon refused my upgrades, and Puppetmon refused to have any at all. Said it didn't match the decor at all." The Machine's voice held such sarcasm it echoed off of the walls, "And we just could not have that, now could we?"

"No, we couldn't," Takeru rolled his eyes at the memory of his own adversary, Pinnochiomon. "So what now? We just stand here and let you vaporize us?"

"That was the plan, yes," Machinedramon replied with a shrug as he began powering up his cannons.

"Sorry," Gureimon spoke up, "but that's not going to happen."

"OH?" Machinedramon asked, "And Why Not?"

"Because we've encountered such Xros Blocking before," MailBirdramon said. "In preparation for the inevitable day that we would run into it again...Blue Flare trained for such a scenario!"

[0:45]

"...Blue Flare?" Miyako asked, "What's Blue Flare?"

"What did you think Team "B" Stood for?" Gureimon chuckled.

"Oh." Daisuke grinned, "I see where this is going!"

"Damn straight, " Kiriha held up his Xros Loader and shouted; "RELOAD! DECKERDRAMON! CYBERDRAMON!"

"You think you stand a chance against me?" Machinedramon asked.

[1:00]

"Dude, you seriously should pay more attention to whom you are speaking to," Typheus spoke up, "Denizen of the Breeze: Typheus at your service."

[1:04]

"OH." Machinedramon took a step back. "Oh No."

"Oh Yes," Kiriha smirked, "You think you've trapped us just because we can't Digi-Xros? I'll have you know that Xros Heart managed to hold off one of your kind for hours without that power. I wasn't there for that- because if I were, what actually happened would seem like a mercy kill." Kiriha started floating into the air, gathering wind about him as he rose.

[1:17]

"And what we're about to do to you now? Well...What we're about to do to you would seem like a mercy kill to that other Machinedramon." Typheus remarked, grinning, even as Cyberdramon cracked his knuckles, Gureimon huffed smoke from his nose, and MailBirdramon took to the air.

[1:27]

"And further more-" Deckerdramon concluded- "As the chosen warrior of Love, Kiriha always makes sure to protect those that he cares about. By poising such an obstacle in front of him, you threaten his ability to return to his family- and may I just say...?" Machinedramon's eyes widened at Deckerdramon's suddenly threatening voice, "The world know no wrath than of a father deprived of seeing his family."

"Hm," Kiriha said thoughtfully, "Maybe I'll take some of your armor home and build Nyarko a tree house for when she gets older." A determined smirk came over his eyes, "Yeah, I think I'll go with that..."

*cue Blazing Blue Flare*

And then he summoned a massive, hurricane scaled wind that utterly evaporated all of the buildings in a quarter-mile radius all without hurting anyone that was standing inside the event. When everyone could see again, Deckerdramon suddenly had room to move- MailBirdramon and Gureimon had vanished- and Cyberdramon was ascending into the air faster than anyone could blink.

Unfortunately- that massive wall remained in place- not that it would matter much in a moment.

"Woah..." Daisuke stared at it all in awe. "What the hell was that!?"

"Such power...!" Ken's eyes widened.

"You ain't seen nothin' yet," Davis grinned.

And then- MailBirdramon came soaring down from above.

Aoku, moeru honoo ni,

"What!?" Machinedramon shouted in surprise.

Curled up in a ball- clutched easily in MailBirdramon's tail- was Gureimon.

Yurameku, sanretsu no yuushi

With a roar- MailBirdramon suddenly flipped forward, flinging Gureimon towards Machinedramon with quite a lot of force.

tekijin koete todoroku tsume to kiba no SYMPHONY

Gureimon hit Machinedramon and began rolling forward- pushing and tumbling Machinedramon forwards and heads over heals over side over tail through the debris before Gureimon put it to a stop, pushing his feet against the ground and grabbing Machinedramon's tail firmly in his hands.

darremo yatsu wo tometari dekani!

Gureimon smirked and then- with a roar- began spinning. Machinedramon's elastic but strong tail proved to be his undoing that day as Gureimon began spinning Machinedramon around in a circle several times.

Then Gureimon let go.

Susume nichi naru sekai wo

Machinedramon got thrown high into the air- sailing straight towards that unbroken wall.

unmei no GENERAL

Deckerdramon fired his missiles- throwing Machinedramon higher into the air before he began falling downwards once more...

tachi hadakaru mono subete

...Where Cyberdramon appeared out of thin air- holding his massive shovel weapon back like a baseball bat.

kami

SLAM!

Machinedramon flew through the wall- and broke through it.

kudake!

Machinedramon tumbled and rolled to a stop against that Dark Tower he'd just been bragging about- eyes spiraling as his processors failed to process what had just happened.

Kiriha flew through the hole- followed by everyone else moments later.

Bizarrely- Gureimon was riding on MailBirdramon's back as if he were riding on a surfboard.

In fact- he was.

Doko ni kieta no darou yasashiku amai kinou wa?

MailBirdramon flew past Machinedramon as his wings glowed brightly- slash!- he flew through both Machinedramon and the Dark Tower in one strike with an Ethereal Wing attack. Gureimon leaped off of MailBirdramon as they passed- landing on Machinedramon once more- and throwing the machine into the Dark Tower- cracking the structure through and through.

"MEGA FLAME!"

Machinedramon's face was bathed in flames- and it blinded him for a moment with pain- but not so much that he didn't feel Gureimon kick off of his chest and backflip away even as...

takanaru ryuu no ibuki ga yatsu wo kaeru SIGNAL

Wind Strikes from Typheus and Kiriha pelted his armor- cutting through it's thick outer layers and cracking it. Cyberdramon had joined in the fray as well- striking with many, too fast to count let alone even see weapon strikes that made the cracks in Machinedramon's armor grow even worse.

ao no gun ga daichi wo yurugasu!

And then Kiriha threw a wind enchanted fist at Machinedramon- slamming the Dark Master through the Dark Tower and shattering it entirely.

misero tsuyosa no akashi wo saikyou no DIGI-XROS

Kiriha held up his Xros Loader and shouted a command- Suddenly- Deckerdramon, Gureimon, and MailBirdramon fused together, becoming DeckerGureimon. "PLASMA...!"

yurusenai ima wo subete kami kudake!

"DECKERDRAUNCHER!"

A massive beam of super heated plasma launched out of the massive cannon mouth and struck Machinedramon- throwing up smoke and flame everywhere.

Smoke and flame that was picked up into a gale-force of blue wind- and sent hurtling high up into the air- flying higher and higher and higher until the curvature of Spiral Mountain could be seen from the air. A shot of blue rushed past the upwards going spiral of wind- as it continued to ascend.

Moments later: the wind dispersed- leaving a battered Machinedramon to slowly start falling towards the ground with a spiraling descent.

asu no yukue ga kietemo tatakai wa kienai

Machinedramon had to admit, it was a nice view from up there. If the skies had been blue, and the sun visible- it might have even been more beautiful than it was.

sono hate ne aru nanika wo

And then he looked up and spotted something falling towards him at an incredible rate- and the metal on his chest cracked away to reveal the hour glass at the sight:

oitsuzuke!

MetalGureimon- TRIDENT CLAW thrown forward glowing red, and missile ports glowing blue with a GIGA DESTROYER.

The claw hit the hourglass- and Machinedramon's descent was pushed ahead faster past terminal velocity.

susume michi naru sekai wo

Machinedramon felt his body's secret strength shatter along with the hourglass imprint- and his data began scattering to the winds as he was pushed down through the atmosphere past Mach 1- through Mach 3- and clear into Mach 5 within seconds.

unmei no GENERAL!

Machinedramon became a Meteorite aflame as MetalGureimon fired off all of the cannon ports- blasting him into even more pieces than could be counted. Ironically- the remains of his Dark Tower remained pointed upwards like a dagger ready to be impaled through his-

tachi hadakaru mono subete Kami Kudake!

KABLAM!

Machinedramon impacted the tower and vaporized it on impact- his remaining armor pieces exploding up into the air above him even as MetalGureimon landed in the inferno without a single scratch on him.

And then- all of those metal pieces fell down to the ground as tiny meteorite fragments around MetalGureimon as he threw his head back and roared to the heavens.

"Yup...I'd say that counted as a Mercy kill," Hikari giggled.

"Yeah, definitely a mercy kill," Davis nodded his head in approval while the rest of Hikari's team stared on in shock.

"That..." Takeru stared on, "was a mercy kill?"

Puppetmon watched from his recliner chair at the top of the jungle pyramid as the City Portion of Digi-Quartz dissolved away into nothing-ness.

"Feh," Puppetmon kicked pack into his recliner and sipped at a smoothie, "s'rv's 'im right for trying to think 'is tech w'uld save 'im."

As he leaned back- his hat fell back off of his head- revealing the Hourglass symbol on proud display on his forehead.

SPANG!

A single shot from Beelzebmon's Death Cannon hit the Hourglass- and Puppetmon shattered into data before he even realized what had hit him.

"Welp," Takuya said flatly, "that was easy."

"Was it now?" Said Puppetmon from behind them.

"Or not." Takato face palmed.

"You just had to say it, didn't you?" Izumi asked with a growl as they all went for their Digivices.

"Uh oh!" Puppetmon gulped as Beelzebmon fired off another shot at him. "YIKES!" he ducked- barely avoiding the first shot. "HEY!" He jumped to avoid a second- and then climbed into the trees to avoid a third shot-

SHATTER!

-That hit true through his back.

"What the hell!?" Beelzebmon snarled, "Did he clone himself or something?"

"No, actually," Puppetmon said in a seductively deep voice from a tree behind them. "I'm just that good at video games. And what's the fun of a game if you get killed in the first-"

"LIGHTNING JOUST!"

That Puppetmon was shattered from Gallantmon's attack- who had just finished Biomerging.

"..." Everyone stared at the spot where that Puppetmon had been sitting- not quite sure of the tone of voice that Puppetmon had been using.

"He's cloned himself," Takato said decisively. "Definitely cloned himself somehow."

"Hey! Ce n'est pas une prise de plaisir quand je suis à mi diatribe comme ça!" A fourth Puppetmon shouted as he burst from the trees.

Susanoomon kicked him into the atmosphere not even half of a second later- where Beelzebmon shot him without so much of a care.

Seconds later, two more Puppetmon appeared- walking casually down the path unaware of what was going on.

"Ba é sin aon spraoi ag gach!" The fifth was saying, "Níor chóir dúinn a bheith ag déileáil le cathanna corr sórt sin go léir an t-am!"

"Hah! Pensas que Gravimon proveedor super poder se preocupa con iso?" The sixth asked.

They both stopped when Beelzebmon and Gallantmon leveled ther charged weapons at them.

"Ah, Xros Corazón. Que sorpresa," The Sixth muttered.

"Sea, go maith, bhí sé a bheith ag súil leis, ní raibh sé," the Fifth asked in return, "go mbeadh siad ag teacht?"

"Oi," Beelzebmon said, "What was that you were saying about Gravimon?"

"Gravimon? Quen é este Gravimon falas?" The Sixth asked, "Eu dixen que existe tal cousa de calquera persoa "Gravimon", ten que estar enganado!"

"..." Everyone stared at the Puppetmon.

"Did anyone understand what he said just now?" Susanoomon tapped at his helmet. "If not, why the hell did our babble fish stop working all of a sudden?"

"Oi Oi, ní dóigh liom go dtuigeann siad dúinn!" The fifth said, "A ligean ar insult iad lenár stór focal ildaite agus gáire ar a n-éagumas chun tuiscint a fháil linn!"

"Non, non, mellor idea!" The sixth laughed, "Imos dicir a eles exactamente o que queren saber, pero non entender que estamos dicindo a eles o que queren saber!"

"..." Beelzebmon scowled. "I think they're planning on insulting us without our realizing it...and something about renegade swords?"

"Ah, Sea, smaoineamh briliant go deimhin, mo dheartháir clónáilte," The fifth Puppetmon nodded in agreement. "Beidh sé seo a bheith an-spraoi an-!"

"Ahha!" Gallantmon snapped his fingers, "I was right, they are clones!"

"Ahhem!" The Sixth coughed, "O Gravimon busca non está dentro deste universo peto dimensional."

"I think he said Gravimon's still in this dimension!" Susanoomon deduced.

"Eh, ní hea, ach ar aghaidh ag smaoineamh go más mian leat!" The Fifth Puppetmon chuckled.

"Como eu estaba dicindo, Gravimon deixou este mundo. Non existe máis. El é un ex-residente deste programa," The Sixth resumed talking. "Deixou de existir!"

"Sé ... Is é ex ... Gravimon!" The Fifth added with a helpful chime.

"...Is it just me," Gallantmon began, "or are they saying that Gravimon's drunken an elixir of programming?"

The Puppetmons shared a look- and then shrugged, with the fifth saying:

"Ól le elixir de RUD, go bhfuil do cinnte!"

"Well there's no need to be rude about it," Susanoomon said with Izumi's voice.

"Ah, ben, de calquera maneira ..." The Sixth Puppetmon continued, "Non vai atopar Gravimon aquí en todo! Deixou para pastos máis verdes, como o éxito do seu plan funcionou ao máximo de todas as posibles - "

"Hug hug! Lig dóibh smaoineamh tá sé anseo ar feadh nóiméad! Ba mhaith liom a fheiceáil cad a cheapann siad an ionchoisne joke Spáinnis!" The Fifth interrupted.

"...No way are we giving you guys hugs..." Beelzebmon said flatly.

"Oh! Está seguro! Ninguén espera a Inquisición Española!" The Sixth clapped his hands giddily.

"...Okay, something about that rings a bell," Susanoomon said. "Anybody else think they're just trolling us?"

"'Trolling'? Níl aon ní, ní féidir linn 'troll', muid 'gníomhú'!" The Fifth shook his head.

"Esqueza meu irmán clonado, o seu humor está perdido sobre eles," The Sixth said with a sad tone. "Imos continuar a 'actuar' sobre eles a ilusión de que Gravimon aínda está dentro desa dimensión, cando en realidade todo o que queda do plan de noso glorioso mestre están as ruínas ruínas do planeta que tan habilmente destruído."

"Sea, beidh siad amach go luath ar ár mheabhlaireacht agus beidh ar an bhfíric go bhfanfaidh ag deireadh an lae, beidh siad i despair den sórt sin go mbeidh ár máistreachta léirscrios glorious a homeworld teacht amach mar trócaire mharú," the Fifth agreed as a sinister feeling crept into the Puppetmon's words.

"Home world...?" Beelzebmon leveled his gun at the fifth Puppetmon. "Alright! Tell us- where is Gravimon's home world? Is that where he's hiding right now?"

"Oh, a ironía delecious," the Sixth said with a laugh. "Esqueceu-se tan facilmente que Gravimon veu de súa propia terra natal?"

"Uh, wait," Gallantmon said, "didn't Gravimon come from your Digital World?"

"Oh...Right..." Beelzebmon grimaced.

"El Stupido," both Puppetmon said in perfectly understandable Spanish.

"Alright, better question-" Beelzebmon tried to ignore it- "Where's Quartzmon? And where did he scamper off to? Or was Gravimon the one who super charged you Dark Masters with Quartzmon's power up?"

"AHAHAHA!" The Sixth laughed, "Gravimon e Quartzmon? Vostede fala deles como se son persoas distinguidas! Vostede parvos! Son, en realidade-"

BAM!

Suddenly- the Puppetmon's body popped like a baloon- showering everyone in gelatinous cubes.

"Uimh leat amadán! Tá sé ró-luath ar a n-amlíne!" The Fifth groaned, "Tá tú doomed dom chomh maith, tá tú dúr, foolish, Clón!"

And then his body exploded like a pinata the second he finished that sentence- leaving everyone in shock of what just happened.

"What..." Beelzebmon said flatly. "Was that?"

"I really hope we don't run into anymore of these guys," Gallantmon sighed as he shook some gelatin off of his shield. "They're messy."

"Let's just..keep looking for the real one, though." Susanoomon proposed, "Maybe we can get more info out of them?"

"Maybe," Beelzebmon shook his head, "but I'd rather not get slimmed like that again."

A seventh Puppetmon appeared then- SHICK- Gallantmon ran him through with his lance before he could open his mouth. "I really hope that was the last one."

It wasn't.

They'd continue to encounter Puppetmon after Puppetmon after Puppetmon.

Some were speaking English (although the accents used ranged from legible to complete nonsense), but a majority spoke in various languages from other dimensions- all apparently sharing a hive mind that allowed ideas to go from one to the other- that somehow remained un-translatable to our heroes.

Finally- after a swarm of them came in one last rush and were quickly disposed of- that left only one Puppetmon before them.

It would be written it all out for you- but I think you all get the point by now, and a simple slideshow of the various Puppetmons being destroyed serves the purpose well enough...And besides, if I did write it all out for you, I wouldn't be able to spare you the horror of a quartet of Puppetmon wearing skimpy dresses and dancing the Can-Can.

Nobody needs to see that.

Nobody.

"Valerah brander dhin!" The final Puppetmon shouted as he dove towards them with a wild expression on his face- STAB!- only to be stabbed through and through by Susanoomon's sword.

"Yeah, well, right back at you, jerk!" Takuya grumbled, unknowingly turning the common phrase right back onto the Puppetmon with a slight twist.

Instead of Susanoomon falling on his sword- it was the Puppetmon who fell on his sword instead.

And with that final kill- the Forest Zone of Spiral Mountain finally became unstable and started falling apart.

Piedmon snarled as he watched the remains of Puppetmon's forest dissolve away. Three of the four pieces had been destroyed.

But even if he fell here, Piedmon knew that Xros Heart would fall.

The SpaceTrailmon had dropped off his current opponents several minutes earlier before zipping off to who knows where. (Probably to pick up the ones who slayed Machinedramon, and then later Puppetmon, he reasoned.)

Regardless- Piedmon stood casually on the grand stage of the final performance of his career- a Dark Tower framing his slender form behind.

Approaching his stage was an army of Mega level digimon- all of his universes Chosen plus a few others from other worlds.

They would be in range of his Dark Tower soon enough- even though it was inactive at the moment.

Piedmon smirked slightly.

His Hourglass was proudly displayed over his heart.

Nobody would get close enough to hit it.

"Ah-" His smirk widened as he saw nine Megas suddenly shrink down into their lower forms. "Show time."

He snapped his fingers- and with a massive groan- the ground between them and him shrunk and disappeared.

He was now face to face with them all.

"Hello hello and welcome to the show!" Piedmon threw his arms to the side, "You shan't be leaving, so please, do take a seat!" With a second snap of his fingers- everyone before him was pushed to the ground as gravity increased suddenly.

"What the hell did you do to them?" OmegaShoutmon snarled. "And where the hell did you get gravity powers from!?"

"Nothing permanent, I can assure you," Piedmon's smirk widened. "Just an evolution blocker, reverts any artificial evolution and prevents it from occurring."

"Damn you...!" Marcus grit his teeth.

"So what if you blocked it?" KinGRavemon asked, "We're not 'evolved' at all! We're our own Digimon!"

"Oh yes, I am aware of your powers, Xros Heart," Piedmon's eyes fell in annoyance, "But you aren't a problem of mine." He started stalking along the stage, "You see, my employer, Gravimon, gifted me with his own gravity manipulation powers. It's all part of the master plan to kill you all since you oh-so-easily avoided the destruction brought down upon you."

"We'll fight you!" Joe shouted- "We'll fight and make sure you won't win!"

"OH do be quiet," Piedmon snarled, and flung a white cloth at the boy- entrapping him within it and shrinking him down into a Key chain.

"Joe!" Gommamon shouted in surprise- "MRF!" - only to receive the same treatment moments later.

"This is none of your concern, chosen. Just sit back and resign yourselves to the fate that I had planed for you before any of this began," Piedmon said as he threw out more cloths that shrunk the rest of that universe's chosen.

"Bastard...!" DeltAntylamon snarled at him.

"Oh please, they'll be fine," Piedmon chuckled, "In half an hour, they'll revert back to normal without even realizing that anything had even happened." He crouched down onto his knees to meet Shoutmon in the eyes. "Now that we're alone, I wish to talk."

"What's there to talk about?" OmegaShoutmon asked.

"Why, the fact that you lot continue to hunt my employer!" Piedmon said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world, "Gravimon doesn't wish you all to find him, and with good reason."

"So what?" Shoutmon frowned, "You want us to stop hunting him? Fine. Done We won't chase Gravimon at all. We weren't here for him at all! We just want Quartzmon and-"

"No!" Piedmon huffed, "You can't hunt him either!"

"Sorry, but we can't do that!" Agumon growled, "He's caused too much harm to the multiverse! He nearly destroyed it starting the time storms!"

"Do you even know why he started them?" Piedmon asked.

"To try to kill us, what else!?" Marcus growled, "We've met his kind before! They're all the same."

"You fools," Piedmon shook his head. "You think it's all about you? The 'chosen heroes' who go about and save everything from the 'bad guys'?" Piedmon glared at Marcus, "You of all people should understand this, Time Agent. Fixed points should not be altered."

"We get that we can't bring earth back-" Akari said from within DeltAntylamon- "But Quartzmon is causing harm to lots of places- and the Time Storms are so bad that everything's bleeding through onto everything else and-"

"You cannot blame Quartzmon nor the Time Storms for 'bleeding' when the storms were ALREADY THERE," Piedmon turned sharply towards her. "You cannot do anything to something that is already there except to create it in the first place to ENSURE that it's retroactive effects were put in place to begin with!" He pointed backwards at the Dark Tower, "Every Universe has always bled onto it's neighbors from the start of time and space! That is how stories of other people's adventures begin! Either as a 'true story' or 'fiction', but the events happen regardless! Say there's someone with a deliciously twisted piece of fan-fiction? That happened some where some when some then!"

"That still didn't give Quartzmon the right to destroy thousands of universes!" Shoutmon countered, "We've seen the aftermath of his handy work! He's done nothing but destroy universes that did no wrong!"

"Universes that were born to DIE!" Piedmon whirled on his heel towards Shoutmon. "He's only destroyed universes that were born to die in the first place! Destined to wind up in his clutches so that they would be cleansed from the multiverse!"

"Don't you DARE bring that destiny crap into this," Marcus growled. "The only 'destiny' a Universe has is by the combined wills of everyone within it pushing it along onto a certain path. People can choose other paths than the ones given to them, and that creates another universe, and the choices in that make new universes and new time lines and new places...!"

"And you don't think a being like Quartzmon wouldn't understand the very nature of the Multiverse?" Piedmon asked. "He's lived his entire life inside the void- became who he was because of it. He knows how to manipulate a timeline without branching it and-"

"And there it is!" Marcus shouted, "You just admitted he manipulates things off course! What the hell kind of guy thinks he has the right to DO that?"

Piedmon frowned. "Are you seriously going to argue with me on this subject?" He sighed, "Tsk, tsk, If I had believed that you were so stubborn, I wouldn't have gone through with this." He snapped his fingers- and gravity released. "Fine then- come at me."

The three Xros Heart Digimon leaped up in an instant.

"GIGA DRILL-!" Piedmon drew a sword and easily blocked KinGRavemon's revving drill- and with a flick of his wrist- sent the crimson armored digimon flying into the ground- where he hit his head against a rock and fell unconscious.

"AQUA RESONANC-!" Piedmon then turned that sword around and stabbed forwards eight times- hitting a strike on OmegaShoutmon's chest each time- before he whirled around and Kicked out- sending OmegaShoutmon flying off into the distance.

"TREASURE AX!" DeltAntylamon managed to get one attack in- throwing her blades at him.

Piedmon drew a second sword and began parrying each strike easily.

"Unlike my foolish brethren," he ranted, "I was given the full power of our master Gravimon."

"So even the Dark Masters have a master then?" Kaiyumi asked as they threw strikes that were consistently blocked.

"We have two, technically-" Piedmon smirked as he nonchalantly drew a third sword while the first continued to fight on without his hand's visible support. He was moving so fast he could wield three swords at once without using extra arms. "Our dear lord Apocalymon, at the heart of Spiral Mountain, whom abandoned his plans when given this power along with us Dark Masters." he drew a fourth sword as he talked, "He now awaits my demise to finish you all off!" And with that- he cried an attack and threw all four swords forwards: "TRUMP SWORD!"

DeltAntylamon couldn't block- and she was sent flying away from the impact- splitting apart into Akari and Kaiyumi once they hit the ground.

"Unfortunately for him-" Piedmon smirked- "I don't intend to let you kill me."

"RYEAAAAHHH!" Agumon roared as he leaped at Piedmon from the ground-

SLASH!

Piedmon whirled on his heel in a second- delivering a devastating slash down Agumon's chest from his right shoulder down to the bottom left corner of his ribcage with all four swords.

Agumon roared in pain as data-like blood flew out of the wound- Piedmon spun around and delivered a power kick to the Dragon's wounded chest- sending him flying towards the ground where KinGRavemon had landed.

"Hmf, fools," Piedmon shook his head and turned back towards Akari and Kaiyumi, intending to finish them of first.

"You...!" A creak of a floor board- and Piedmon turned his head- "YOU BASTARD!" Marcus roared as he threw himself towards Piedmon, fist flying forward, covered in orange fire data-

SWISH!

Piedmon flung a sword forward-

SMACK!

Marcus' fist connected with the hourglass-

Agumon's eyes opened faintly- and he barely processed the sight before him.

Marcus' fist through Piedmon's heart.

Piedmon's sword through Marcus's heart.

It was clearly a Mutual Kill.

"CH-" Marcus coughed up some blood. "G..Gotcha..."

"S...SO you did..." Piedmon's eyes were wide with fear as data started peeling away from his feet. "But...You fool...You don't know what you've done...! Apocalymon will rip them all to shreds once he is reborn...!"

"They'll..." Marcus took on a grin even as his legs wobbled and his eyes closed for a few moments. "They'll find a way to beat him. They always do." He coughed again- though it sounded like a laugh- "And besides that...you forgot about one last thing."

"W..What's that?" Piedmon asked.

"Spiral Mountain won't dissolve away..." Marcus's eyes opened- "If you're not here for it to see it."

"J...Just what do you mean?" Piedmon asked, confused.

"The Dead-" Marcus's left hand opened- "Man's-" His Xros Loader fell towards the ground- "Switch."

Piedmon's already wide eyes opened even wider. "NO!"

The Xros Loader hit the ground and exploded with light- casting a time gate on the ground beneath Marcus and Piedmon- causing them both to fall into an unknown world.

Thus was the scene that OmegaShoutmon saw with wide eyes as he returned towards the scene of battle mere minutes after having left it (he'd really been thrown a long way away).

"MARCUS!" Shoutmon roared as he flew forward towards the gate- but he was too late.

It closed up before he could reach it- and he ran head first into the stage.

Meanwhile- inside the core of Spiral Mountain- Apocalymon sat waiting for his final servant's data to upload into his mainframe...

Death had over come Piedmon and-

"Gone?"

Apocalymon- not much more at the moment beyond a massive, golden, multi-sided box- pulsed confusion into the space around him at that.

Piedmon's data had just vanished.

Untraceable.

No longer find-able.

No longer collectible.

Piedmon was gone.

"The Pie Was a Lie," a piece of his brain bizarrely thought.

It was then that his sensors detected the SpaceTrailmon approaching him in the distance- His sensors zoomed into it and...

Wait.

What?

Why was there a girl riding on the back and why did she have a massive cannon that was-

"BLACK ROCK SHOT!"

Apocalymon suddenly found himself having a massive star shaped hole through his torso.

"Ow-" He thought moments before his data shattered into pieces- and with it- the Hell's Field.

Agumon's eyes opened to the dreary lights of SpaceTrailmon's infirmary, having been forcibly shifted into his human form at some point to more easily tend to his wounds. "Ow..."

"Hey there..." Kaiyumi smiled weakly at him.

"Boss..." Agumon closed his eyes. "Did he really...?"

"Yeah..." Kaiyumi's smile turned to a sad one as she held out Marcus' Xros Loader for him to see. "He did."

"Did we win...?" Agumon asked.

"We won," Kaiyumi said simply.

"Okay then..." Agumon closed his eyes as sleep over came him.

Kaiyumi sighed, 'But at what cost?'

The SpaceTrailmon lowered down into the ruins of Odaiba- lowering the ramp down and out to allow the DigiDestined of that universe back out onto the ground.

"I'm sorry we couldn't help any," That world's Tai said, "I guess we weren't so chosen after all."

"You guys did fine to get this far," Shoutmon said to them, "Besides, if we hadn't shown up, the Dark Masters would have killed you all if Myotismon didn't, just to get our attention." He looked over them all, and met their eyes for single moments as he talked, "This was a trap meant for us, and we tripped it so you guys didn't get caught in the cross fire. There are going to be more challenges for you guys along the way." He settled on Joe, "You've all got a lot ahead of you. You'll have to train a bit, yeah, but the world won't stop throwing bad guys at you just because some super powered bosses came along to try to kick you to the curb." He sighed, "We lose, it happens, but when it does, we've gotta pick up and carry on." A thought seemed to hit him just then, "Oh by the way, I completely lost track of that truck we dragged through to lure Daemon here. If you guys find it, would you mind vaporizing it behind a Terra Force or something?"

"Uh...Sure," that world's Joe said. "Why?"

"Future tech, by about four years," Shoutmon said, "don't want the car companies getting their hands on it, ya know?" And with that, he turned back into the ship- a sad smile on his face.

The three people who were in that truck would be long gone by the time it got found- and they'd be free to set into motion more events and trials for these heroes to prove their worth.

It wasn't fair, after all, when the game itself kills the bosses it set before you in a scripted event.

EARTH: CONSULTANT TIMELINE.

ONE WEEK LATER.

8:16 A.M.

A car- an ordinary rental cab- pulled up to a stop outside of the Damon residence.

The older Joe Kido sighed as he put the car into park. "Here we are."

The person in the back seat- Agumon in his human form- said nothing.

"Do you want help or...?" Joe offered.

"No," Agumon said simply- leaning back into the seat and closing his eyes. "Just give me a minute."

Joe nodded, and looked into the rear-view mirror to get a better look at the car's passenger.

Agumon had been healed up rather well over that one week...which was over six years in the past for Joe. It had been a stressful time for them all. Joe had known since that day that someone had died- Marcus, this Digimon's, no, this boy's partner- but he had to remain silent the entire time.

Four years after that day- he and the others had faced off against a powerful enemy. Barbramon, of the Seven Demon Lords, come for revenge of his fallen comrade Daemon. They defeated him with the help of their own versions of Davis' team.

A year later- he'd been contacted by Emmit Brown- the Watch Maker- and brought into that world to help fight.

He could help to repay them all for that debt...but like the destruction of that Earth...Joe was powerless to change Marcus' fate, and he wasn't sure if Agumon's silence was because of that or something else entirely.

Agumon sighed, and finally sat up to get out of the car, muttering, "A week's been long enough."

And with that- the back door opened and Agumon stepped out into the rain before closing the door once more behind him.

Joe watched as Agumon went up to the door, and knocked.

*cue "Fantasy" (TV Size) UN-GO ending theme*

The rain fell silently for a few moments- and then the door opened, Marcus' younger sister Kristy on the other side answering it.

A prayer whispered in the pale morning mist.

Agumon talked to Kristy- explaining what had happened- and Joe felt his heart break as the girl's eyes watered up.

I will follow along the distorted landscape with you.

Kristy took a step out of the house door, joining Agumon in the rain- and then- she lunged at him- wrapping her arms around him as she broke down into tears.

Seeking the "truth," "Even if a 'lie' is fine," is that right?

Joe took a look up at the morning sky, giving them their privacy to grieve even as Marcus' Xros Loader fell from Agumon's hands to the ground as he put his arms around her in return.

As though seeing right through each other, we go on.

Elsewhere, Kiriha and Nene stood in the door frame of a bedroom, watching their young daughter playing with her toys and excitement shining in her bright green eyes, framed by an almost impossibly silver hair.

Looking for, Go beyond words, Like a falling feather.

Meanwhile, Beelzebmon chatted with his wife, Mervamon- who was very heavily pregnant at this point. Both were discussing names for their future child.

Looking for, Find It, So that we can cuddle close here.

In a far off clock shop, Kaiyumi and the Watch Maker peered over a sealed letter and what appeared to be some sort of sendificator pad.

With some hesitation, they nodded, and Kaiyumi hit the button triggering the pad's main function- causing the letter to vanish in a visible [SEND-] effect.

In another world- another earth- the younger Emmit Brown looked up in surprise as a letter appeared in mid-air before him with a visible [-IFICATE!] effect.

He caught the letter, and stared in surprise at his own handwriting on the cover.

ATTN: Emmit Brown:
SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Looking for, Unravel it, Like torn, Scattered clouds.

In an empty desert, a year in the future- Shoutmon and Akari stood on a ridge overlooking a crater whose interior had been broken open- revealing something massive and hidden inside.

Looking for, Find it,

With a nod, the duo drew their Microphone stands and leaped down towards the crater.

So that we can cuddle close here.

YEARS IN THE PAST.

BUT NOT MANY.

LAGANN CLUSTER: ZONE GLX-816

*Cue - Rappu ha Kan no Tamashii... datta... yo na - (Gurren Lagann OST Track 17)*

Do The Impossible, See the Invisible, Ro, Ro, Fight The Power.

Marcus' eyes opened.

Touch the untouchable, Break the unbreakable, Ro, Ro, Fight The Power.

Above him was a face- a girl with eyes and hair as blue as any ocean. She smiled at him- despite the bleak and dreary cave that they were in.

What you gonna do is what you wanna do is, just break the rule, then you see the truth,

She offered her hand, and he took it.

This is the theme of "G" coming through, baby, ro, ro, fight the power.

She lead him around the village that he had mysteriously awoken in- calmly explaining everything that he didn't recognize.

Power to the peeps, power for the dream, still missing piece scattering, so incomplete,

His chest hurt. His head hurt. She said he'd been recovered from a suddenly occurring rock slide- it wasn't surprising he felt that way.

we be the once incredible soldier from underground, see how easy, they all fall down,

Marcus remembered the strangest dream. Of other worlds- other times- other people that weren't from this underground village.

digging to the core to see the light, let's get out of here babe, that's the way to survive,

The girl said he had never been seen in the village before that day. Maybe he'd been with them?

top of the head, I'm on the set, do the impossible, don't you wanna bet?

He couldn't remember. Not how he got there. Just that...That something had happened.

cuz, a lot of things changed, we be waiting in vain,

She smiled at him, and said that if he wanted to, he could stay here in the village until he remembered how he got there- and who he needed to be with.

if you wanna get by, no pain no gain,

He smiled at that.

wow! Fakers wanna test me again, sorry, my rhymes gonna snatch your brain,

Years passed- he grew to love the new village called G-Ha, became a figure to be respected. Someone to protect the weak, and teach them how to survive should their lives depend on it.

I'm still starving for the straight up skill, we gonna make it happen with the crazy rap skill,

He fell in love with the girl- and together, they planned on raising a child together. They were married...and soon...

get ready to rumble, now is the time, if you don't know, now you know.

Static cut over the screen.

A shot of a hand rolling out from under bed sheet- a still of a baby crying- a rock wall carved with a memorial poem- an image of a meteor impacting the surface-

The static cleared.

Do the Impossible, See the Invisible, Ro, Ro, Fight the Power.

Marcus stood on the surface, his son at his side, as he peered into a crater that was still smoking from the impact. Inside were objects he remembered from a distant dream- and two children...

Touch the Untouchable, Break the Unbreakable, Ro, Ro, Fight the Power.

He picked them up, and carried them down into the village. He remembered them- who they were. Who they would one day remember being.

He told them stories- stories of adventures they themselves had lived and written.

Stories of a boy who became king- of a girl who became queen- of Denizens and Consorts- of Lands and of Agents. And for his son...he entrusted upon that boy the most important job of all.

what you gonna do is what you wanna do is, just break the rule, then you see the truth,

The job of raising the twins who were not twins in his stead- for the pain in his heart grew from the memories of a life once lived and lost.

this is the theme of "G" coming through baby, ro ro, fight the power.

The Father died- his heart split in two- his body buried with his wife.

Second verse dedicates to the real peeps, what we gotta say is so real thing, cuz,

The Son- Kamina- grew into a man, taking upon himself the mantle his father had left him. The duties and the stories and the power and the emotions.

revolution ain't never gonna televise, kickin' the mad flow, microphone phenotype,

The world moved on around the twins that were not twins- Gimmy and Dari, Taiki and Sally- and as they grew, they slowly remembered and yet did not.

Echoes of memories resonated with the stories told- their favorite characters the other's past self.

Open your third eye, seeing through the overground,

Their hands intertwined as eyes fell on them suspiciously- twins from a star- lovers reborn into another world- they didn't care.

I'm about to hit you with the scream from the underground,

And as the years passed on- the trio of orphaned children would visit those graves of people they no-longer knew. They grew- older and older- awaiting a chosen day that was fated by the stars above to come with a vengeance.

whole city is covered with the cyber flavor, "G" is in your area, one of the toughest enigma,

A pair of shades- carved from crystalline rock- were placed on the face of that blue haired, blue eyed son, and a callous shell formed around those who desperately avoided the three oddities in their community.

do the impossible, see the invisible, ro ro, fight the power,

touch the un touchable, break the un breakable, ro ro, fight the power,

what you gonna do is, what you wanna do is, just break the rule, then you see the truth,

this is the theme of "G" coming through baby, ro ro, fight the power.

And as the heavens turned on their massive mechanisms- a floating castle descended from another place- another time- carrying with it the salvation of the multiverse.

The 100 Floors of the castle glistened in the invisible starlight as it cut through static and time alike- seeking it's final destination.

The Final Confrontation.
