Digimon Tamers Crimson Episode 26: The Blue General

In a distant location within the Digital World, There seems to be a blond teenager with a dark blue short sleeved vest, black sleeveless shirt, gloves, pants and boots with what appears to be a dark blue dinosaur-like Digimon with a black helmet and metal horn, along with a large machine bird Digimon that was also blue. The teen's name: Kiriha Aonuma and he is known as the blue general of Xros Heart. Though currently they seem to be in a battle against a swarm of Digimon in league with Vamdemon. Outnumbered, they retreated nearby a large rock. However, they seem to be running out of options. "Kiriha, there's too many out there! We need to retreat!" The machine-bird Digimon said. The Blue dinosaur responded "And risk giving away Xros Heart's location? Not a chance!" Kiriha then said "For now... We stand and fight. Greymon! Mailbirdramon! We need to Digi-Xros now!" Greymon and Mailbirdramon both nodded and they stood ready to fight. Kiriha then pulled out what appeared to be a different type of Blue Digivice. He then held up the Digivice which glowed brightly.

Greymon! Mailbirdramon! Digi-Xros...

Digi-Xros!

Greymon then seemed to be equipped with Mailbirdramon's parts, including it's wings, armor and laser cannon.

MetalGreymon!

MetalGreymon then fought bravely against Vamdemon's fearsome army. However Kiriha was trying to plan out their next tactic. "Alright, we can hold them off for a while longer. So when their have a significant decrease... We'll use a smoke screen to escape. I guess that I really am foolish. I left Taichi and Taiki all by themselves... And we recently lost contact with Taiki's team, except for Shoutmon. So now, I feel like I need to get stronger. But... What if... What if this causes... No! I can't think of that now! What matters is the plan and getting out of here!" While Kiriha was thinking, two large digimon with metal tentacles and mounted laser guns on one of the tentacles came out and ambushed MetalGreymon. They fired their beams at MetalGreymon who barely withstood the attack and glared at the two digimon. "Dammit! Where did they come from!?" Kiriha asked and MetalGreymon responded "It would appear that Yggdrasil has decided to play his part in this conflict!" Kiriha then looked back at the two Digimon and then said "Well... So much for our escape plan."


Hours earlier at Simon's location...

Simon and the others searched the land for the aforementioned Hot Springs... Only to come across them fairly easily. Simon then notices that at the very least, the springs were big enough to hold everyone and the Digimon along with the noticable border between the two springs. "Alright, guys get one side, girls get the other got it?" Simon asked everyone who then nodded in response. "Okay then, time get out my oil cannister." Simon said looking through the things he brought in his pockets. Takeru then asked "Okay stupid question here, why do you need one of those?" Henry answered for Simon saying "It's his prosthetic arm. Since it's made of metal he can't risk it getting rusty. So he has to oil it everytime he goes swimming, takes a bath/shower, etc." Takeru was a bit surprised by this and asks "Y'know, I gotta wonder why he chose metal?" Simon answered "Mostly due to the fact that we only had an automail engineer, that my dad knew of. He said that she was probably the best mechanic he's ever seen." Takeru was a little intrigued by this... But then, he noticed the girls going towards the side he and the guys aren't.

Simon saw this as a sign and said "Well, I guess the girls already made up their minds so... How about we get in?" They then nodded in agreement. The guys left their clothes nearby the spring as they started to settle into the hot water. "Ahhhhh... This feels amazing! How about you guys?" Simon said feeling very relaxed already. Henry responded "This really helps with loosening our muscles. So I got to hand it to the Digital World... They've got some pretty nice springs." Ken then added "Indeed, now if only we can convince Takeru to come in." Simon and the others turned towards Takeru who was hiding behind a rock. "Hey! TK! Come on in! The water feels great!" Daisuke yelled. Takeru shook his head and said "I think I'll stay out here for now." Simon then says to Daisuke "He talks like he's never been in a locker room before." Daisuke responds "He's a bit insecure." Simon raises an eyebrow at that statement and he says "Is that all?" Daisuke nodded and Simon decided to get out... And drag Takeru into the spring. "Wait don't! I'll do whatever you want! Just please don't bring me over there!" Simon responded to Takeru's screaming "Quit being such a baby! We're your friends. I don't care about your insecurites. And I bet neither do Henry, Daisuke or Ken. So get yourself! In there!" Takeru then lands into the hot spring from Simon tossing him.

"Honestly, I just don't understand why you think that we'll judge you." Simon said walking back into the spring. Takeru then responded "Look, it's not Ken or Daisuke will judge me... It's if you or Henry will judge me." Simon sighed and Henry said to Takeru "Neither of us will judge you. Besides, one time Simon and I went to an anime convention while cosplaying as both Teddie and Scorpion." Daisuke then asked "So who was who?" Henry responded "Well, Simon was obviously Scorpion and I was the somewhat Bearable Teddie." Takeru raised a hand and asked "So what happened?" Henry then answered "While we were at the con, I was getting noticably sweaty inside the Teddie suit. I took off the head and Simon asked me a pretty important question." Ken then asked "What was the question?" Simon then answered "Are you at least wearing boxers underneath that suit?" Henry added "And then I told him no. And he told me to be careful around fangirls. And I didn't even know what he meant by that... Until I was nearly approached by a couple girls." Takeru then asked "So how is this supposed to help me?" Henry responded "Well, Simon didn't really judge me at all. He just told me to be careful. And the only reason I was even like that... Was because the suit got a little too hot on the inside." Takeru then said "Oh... Now I get it. Thanks Henry!" Henry nodded and responded "Any time Takeru!"

Guilmon and the other Digimon that belonged to the guys finally joined them. V-Mon started swimming around the spring while Guilmon and the others just stuck with their Tamers. "Y'know Davish? This is the life. I just wish this could last." V-Mon said to Daisuke who responded "I know that I'm used to the locker rooms but, I don't think I'd want to be naked around my friends for too long alright?" V-Mon then responded "But aren't they doing what you're doing?" Daisuke nodded and said "Yes, but this is a time of relaxation alright? No need to get awkward." Simon then asks Ken "Does V-Mon often do this?" Ken nods and says "Yeah, but don't worry about it. Besides, I'm sure Daisuke gets along fine with V-Mon despite his naviete." Guilmon sees this relationship and looks back at Simon and says "I've never been in a spring before... Is it supposed to feel soothing?" Simon nods and says "That's surprising considering you live in this world." Guilmon responded "I guess." Simon and Guilmon then continue to look up into the sky... Despite knowing there aren't any stars in the Digital World. Takeru then said "I wonder what the girls are up to..." Impmon showed up in the guys spring saying "Yeah... I'm not allowed anywhere near Nia when she's doing anything that shows skin. So, can I hang out with you guys?" Daisuke responds "Alright, sure!" Impmon then jumps into the water to get comfortable...


Meanwhile on the girls side...

Nia and the others did the same thing as the guys with their clothes. However it seems that when they got in, Rika and Hikari started feeling envious of Nia. Renamon meanwhile was dragging Gatomon into the springs with her. "I don't know why I gotta go in. Besides, I'm a cat for goddramon's sake!" Renamon looked back at Gatomon and said "Look, maybe this will help you in case we go to an aquatic sector of the Digital world." Gatomon pondered this for a little bit. She then sighed in defeat and said "Just don't toss me in." Renamon responded "That's what I thought." Gatomon finally came in and Renamon followed suit. Meanwhile Suzie and Lopmon were just relaxing in one of the corners of the spring. Lopmon then asked "Suzie, what do you think Rika and Hikari are thinking?" Suzie looks over at the two staring down Nia and answered "I bet they're just looking at her beautiful hair. I'd be a little jealous about that if I were them." Lopmon looked at her tamer then back at the two and thought to herself "Then why are their gazes towards Nia's chest?" Rika and Kari were glaring at Nia and their eyes were practically twitching. Nia noticed this and said "Hey, what's wrong guys? Did I do something with my hair?" Rika then asked "How!?" Nia confused raised an eyebrow and asked "How what?" Hikari responded "What'd you have to do to get that bod!?"

Nia thought about Kari's question and answered "Well, I did a lot of working out, Simon taught me martial arts, My dad gave my police training and-" Nia was interrupted by Rika who then said "No, not that. We already know how you got that muscle and six pack you have." Hikari then added "No, what we really want to know is..." They then shouted "How did you get those breasts!?" Takeru heard that on the other side and asked "Simon, how lucky are you?" Simon did a face-palm to that statement. Back on the girl's side, Nia blushed a bit and said "Well, I guess maybe it's just that-" However Hikari and Rika started poking Nia trying to see how. "Seriously, she's hardly smooth at all and plus most of her is muscle." Rika was saying noticing her physique. However... Nia then said "Kindly. Stop touching me... Or else!" Rika and Hikari backed off knowing how skilled she actually is. She sighed and said "Honestly, I don't know what it is about most people. They would ask me how and I would answer "It's not my fault. I just happen to have developed this way." Hikari and Rika felt ashamed of what they did and Suzie came up to Nia and asked "But what about her beautiful hair?" Rika then responded "I don't think most guys go for hair as an attractive quality." Nia shook her head and said "Well, Simon usually distracts himself by looking at my hair at certain times." Hikari then asks "Like whenever you swim?" Nia nods and says "It's best not to judge based on looks, but rather personality."

Rika and Hikari thought about what Nia said, but Hikari said "Well regardless, we both still think you look amazing Nia." Nia nodded and said "Thank you. And Hikari, I'm sure Daisuke cares about you regardless. He didn't fall for your physique or anything else about your body. But rather, He fell for you." Rika then said "I don't exactly have anybody in mind... yet." Nia smiled and said "Oh don't worry Rika, I'm sure you'll find somebody." Rika then decided to ponder this thought. After a little bit of silence Suzie asked "So, why do you have your hair short?" Nia then responds "Mostly because, deep down... I've wanted to be a boy." Rika and Hikari ended up shocked by that statement, and Rika asked "Why's that?" Nia responded "Because I felt like, I've been held back from what I want... Just because I'm a girl. But now I see that my dad just wanted me to stay safe. Simon was able to help me on my path and he never once judged me on my dreams." Hikari then asked "What about that mark on your chest?" Nia looked down and said "Well, after Simon's battle with himself, my dad told me it was... The brand of the exalt." Renamon's ears perked up from her statement and asked "I thought the brand was dead." Nia shook her head and said "My mom had a brand just like this... And now I have it." They were somewhat awestruck by this declaration.


Hours later...

After a while Simon and the others got out of the spring, dried off and changed back into their normal clothes. They then walked out of the volcano fraction of the rocky sector and kept heading to lower sections until... Suddenly Simon saw some explosions in the distance. "Where'd that come from?" Hikari asked. Simon then responded "I swear to god, if Michael Bay somehow got into the digital world... Let's just say I might make one exception to the no-killing rule." Simon then had the others follow him towards the explosion...

Meanwhile with Kiriha and Greymon...


MetalGreymon was having a very difficult time fighting the Ebemon. He was forced to cancel the Digi-Xros so that Mailbirdramon won't fall as well. "Mailbirdramon, can I ask you a favor?" Greymon asked the metal bird who responded "What is it?" Greymon then answered "I want you to take Kiriha away from here." Kiriha then yelled "WHAT!?" Before approaching his partner. "You can't ask me to leave you like this!? You'll die!" Kiriha kept on yelling. Greymon looked back at his partner and said "Your mother... She wanted me to protect you. And right now, If you stay here... You'll die along with me." Kiriha then responded "We're supposed to work together aren't we!? At this rate, we'll all die either way." Greymon sighed and signaled Mailbirdramon to fly upwards. "Alright Kiriha, we'll fight together!" Kiriha sighed in relief and said "That's more like it! Now then, we just need you to fire a blast towards the ground to confuse them and-" He never got finish as Mailbirdramon picked him up by his talon. "MAILBIRDRAMON! WHAT THE HELL! GREYMON'S STILL DOWN THERE! WE CAN'T JUST LEAVE HIM!" Kiriha yelled to his other partner who said "Greymon wanted to make sure that you were safe, above all else." Kiriha had tears in his eyes seeing his long time partner about to be deleted by Yggdrasil's EBEmon. "GREYMON!" He screamed before leaving the sight of Greymon.

Greymon relieved then charged one of the Ebemon... Only to get knocked down effortlessly. "I may die... But Xros Heart still lives!" One of the Ebemon began charging it's laser to finish off Greymon. Greymon closed his eyes ready to face death... "Mrs. Aonuma... Did I... Make good on my promise?" Greymon thought to himself.


Back with Simon and Co.

Simon saw in the distance, a Greymon fighting against two Ebemon. "Ebemon, Virus Type, Mega Level. Attacks are: Brain Rupture and Planet Destroyer." Rika said quoting her Digivice. Simon then got the idea to evolve Guilmon to Wargrowlmon before getting to where they ended up, just in case. Now knowing there are two Mega Level Digimon up against a Champion level... He decided to activate his Hazard armor. Simon clad in his Hazard armor went up to Wargrowlmon and said "Throw me." Wargrowlmon saw a plan in Simon's statement and followed through with his command. Simon then pulled out his sword as he was flying through the air... And then sliced one Ebemon in two. However, Simon used some shadow tendrils to restrain the other Ebemon. Wargrowlmon saw this took this opportunity to slice the other Ebemon in half. Simon walked up to the wounded Greymon and said "Looks like we're going to need a medic here." Wargrowlmon responded "I think Renamon or Gatomon can fix him." Simon nods and decides to carry Greymon himself. "Well then, let's get him back to the others!" Simon picked up Greymon and along with Wargrowlmon headed back to the others...

Who is this mysterious Kiriha? Who is Xros Heart? And how will Simon and co. get Greymon back to Kiriha? Find out next time, on Digimon Tamers Crimson!
