Digimon Tamers Crimson Episode 29: Dawn till Duskmon...
Vamdemon's Castle...
Daemon had demanded Vamdemon's attention considering the Tamers are now in the Digital World. "My lord Count! The Tamers have been confirmed to be present in the Digital World! I suggest we plan accordingly and strike now while we can!" Daemon said kneeling before Vamdemon who responded "You wish to address something I already know? Then you have effectively wasted my time." Daemon then said "But if we act quickly, we can stop them from reaching Mega forms! Therefore disabling the problem right then and there!" Vamdemon thought carefully and responded "I understand that you are concerned for the fact that... These Tamers will come here and eliminate all of us... Correct?" Daemon nodded and said "Do you forget that Yggdrasil is the one who brought you back!?" Vamdemon then responded "I understand that... But everything will go according to plan. And my plan right now, is to defeat them when they are maximum potential... Thus eliminating any hope the humans have of defeating Yggdrasil! So before you start questioning me remember this... Yggdrasil asked for me to head this operation... And if you fail to so much as support this plan... I gurantee that, your execution will be a spectacle for all to see."
Daemon hears this and says "Fine then My lord Count... I shall leave you to your studies..." Daemon then walks out of the throne room, while Vamdemon heads for his studies. In the library, Vamdemon starts reading some books about the Digital World's history. He is then approached by Reapermon who asks "You realize that Daemon wishes to conspire against you right my lord?" Vamdemon looks up at his long time servant and answers "Of course I do. However, he doesn't seem to understand that I seek out a different method of vanquishing my enemies. If they are bested at full power... Then there is truly no hope left for these pitiful humans nor Digimon." Reapermon then says "Very well my lord. I shall leave you to your studies..." He was about to leave until Vamdemon asks "Do you remember the day we first met?" Reapermon stops and answers "It was the day that you died. I was tasked with dealing with you... But then, I saw that you had a vision... One of which I truly believed in." Vamdemon looks at Reapermon and says "And I recall that you would die for this vision... Correct?" Reapermon nods and responds "But of course my lord... Your vision, is the reason why I joined you. It seems that you have not changed since that day you were reincarnated the first time." Vamdemon laughs a bit and says before Reapermon leaves "Yes Indeed..."
Daemon on the other hand, seemed to be wandering about in the halls of the castle. "There has to be some way that I can stop Ackerman before he even gets here..." Suddenly a figure appears behind Daemon and asks "Why not just kill him yourself?" Daemon turns to face the figure who wore entirely black armor with eyeballs on the shoulders, chest, and knees. And the only part of him exposed was his face and blond hair. "All you have to do is go out there and destroy them yourself." Daemon responds to the armored figure's statement with "First of all, that would go against Vamdemon's "plan" and unfortunately I must follow it until he is not watching. Second, I have yet to deduce this boy's emotional weakpoint. I plan on sending a Cherrymon after him for intel. But, it seems you have a plan in mind Duskmon." Duskmon nods and says "How about, I take care of this problem myself. Therefore, you have no need of waiting until he arrives here. His journey will end the moment our eyes meet!" Daemon then says "I must warn you however... He has acquired a power that has made him powerful enough to take on a mega level Digimon. So be weary Duskmon." Duskmon nods and vanishes from the scene to confront the Digimon Tamers' leader.
The next day...
Simon and the others look over to see the Dragon Deva guarding a cage, containing all of Shoutmon's friends. Daisuke looked at his Digivice to scan the new Deva. "Majiramon, Data Type, Ultimate Level. His attacks are Flaming Arrowheads and Bao Shi." Simon looks over and sees an army of Champion to Ultimate level Digimon. "Okay, I'll have to go in with Shoutmon and Taiki to rescue his friends while the rest of you guys keep Majiramon and his army busy." The others nodded in agreement and Taichi says "Make sure keep a look out Simon. And Daisuke..." Daisuke turns to Taichi and asks "Yes?" Taichi smiles and says "Look out for my sister okay?" Daisuke nods and everybody then gets ready to evolve their partners...

The Ultimate Digimon were fending off Majiramon's army which consists of quite a lot Strikedramon and Cyberdramon. Meanwhile MetalGreymon decided to fight against Majiramon. "I see that you've come back to settle our score. Tell me something... How many more allies will you let die?" That angered Kiriha and MetalGreymon to the point where MetalGreymon just lashed out against Majiramon... Only for him to dodge fairly easily. "Ah... Not much has changed. And besides... All you wish to do is merely kill whomever makes you angry. And now... That anger will end with death!" Majiramon then launches a Bao Shi arrow at MetalGreymon whom, due to his speed was not able to dodge the attack. And thus was forced to the ground. "Now if you had Mailbirdramon attack me... Maybe you'd stand a chance. But now, I'd say you're unfortunately sluggish." Majiramon then rose to the sky and prepared several fire arrows to hit MetalGreymon. He however was interrupted by RizeGreymon's laser blast. "Now what were you about to do just now?" RizeGreymon turned to MetalGreymon and said "You just can't restrain yourself now can you?" MetalGreymon sighed and responded "Just help me deal with this guy!" RizeGreymon and MetalGreymon poised to strike at Majiramon...
Meanwhile Simon, Nia, Taiki and Shoutmon were at the cage holding his friends hostage. However, when they got there... Some Cyberdramon formed a bit of resistance. To that, Simon activated the Hazard Armor and Nia pulled out her dual pistols. Simon and Shoutmon decided to take on half of the Cyberdramon, whereas Nia... Agreed to take on the other half. Taiki was intially worried about Nia, until she proved her marksman skills by getting many flawless shots on each of the Ultimate Digimon. She even showed off a bit of her fighting skill during this "shootout". Taiki was flabbergasted to say the least. Shoutmon got back to Taiki and said "Hey! The coast is clear! Let's hurry and save everyone!" Taiki snapped out of trance from Nia's fighting skill, and focused on saving Shoutmon's friends. Simon went to help Nia with the remaining Cyberdramon and Nia then said "You know I had that under control right?" Simon responds "I noticed you were running low on ammo, and your only other weapons are your shotgun, fists and legs." Nia looked at her guns and said "This is only because I lost all the ammo when we came to this world!" Simon then pinches the bridge of his nose and responds "Look, I'm sorry about that... But right now, we should make sure Taiki's good alright?" Nia sighs and responds "Alright, but you owe me kay?" Simon nods before going to cover Taiki with Nia.
Shoutmon was busy bashing the bars of the gate before they finally broke. "Taiki! You came to save us!" Ballistamon said hugging both Taiki and Shoutmon. Dorulumon said "It's about time..." Shoutmon responded "We had quite a bit of trouble getting here." Starmon went up to Taiki and said "I don't care who your friends are... But tell em' I said thanks alright?" The Pikmon said "Please tell him!?" Taiki responded "Okay, okay I'll tell them." Taiki went up to Simon to thank him... Only for Simon to stop Taiki and Nia pointed a gun at a newcomer who appeared on the battlefield. Majiramon noticed this and said "Duskmon! I don't require any assistance from you! What on earth are you here for!?" The newcomer known as Duskmon pointed one of his red blades at Simon and said "The life of the Shadow Tamer, Simon Ackerman." Simon saw this as a challenge and said "You guys stay back... I'll handle this." Nia looked at Simon and asked "You sure about this?" Simon nodded and Taiki said "Well, I'll go help my team with Majiramon alright?" Simon nodded and Taiki along with his team headed towards Kiriha and Taichi. Simon gestured Nia to get back away from the fight. "So, you wish to fight me alone huh?" Duskmon said approaching Simon slowly. "Well of course, Gai Tsutsugami told me a lot about you." Simon responded walking towards Duskmon. "What exactly did Gai say about me?" Duskmon asked stopping when he and Simon were practically back to back. "He said... That were nothing more than a pest." Simon answered Duskmon with a confident smile on his face.
Duskmon and Simon both struck each other's blades and thus, a fierce battle began... Nia hid behind a cover and analyzed the newcomer Digimon. "Duskmon, Variable Type, Hybrid Level. Attacks are: Deadly Gaze, Memory Disturbance, and Lunar Plasma." Nia quoted her Digivice and watched as Simon kept on striking Duskmon. She then turned to face some Cyberdramon that were both right behind her. However, she quickly ran out of ammuntion on her pistols. She later pulled out her shotgun, and began shooting the Cyberdramon that were getting closer to her. Meanwhile Taiki caught up with Kiriha and Taichi and triggered his own Digi-Xros.
Shoutmon! "Oh yeah!"
Ballistamon! "Boo-yah! Baby!"
Dorulumon! "Standing By!"
Starmon, Pikmon!
Sparrowmon! "Ready to Go!"
Digi-Xros!
Shoutmon... X-5!
Shoutmon X-5 was composed of Shoutmon's new helmetted head, Ballistamon's Torso and arms, Dorulumon's legs, Starmon and Pikmons forged into a sword, and Sparrowmon as a flying/shooting add-on. Shoutmon X-5 flew up to RizeGreymon and MetalGreymon before saying "Guess who's back in the game!" RizeGreymon sighed out of some impatience, but MetalGreymon responded "Glad to have you back at full strength Shoutmon." Shoutmon gave MetalGreymon a thumbs up before preparing to confront Majiramon. "So, the arrogant musician decides to show his talentless face after all. What a farce!" Shoutmon was initially enraged by Majiramon's words. However, RizeGreymon said to Shoutmon "Don't let him get to you! All he wants is for you to lose control of yourself." Shoutmon sighed and responded "Sorry about that. I just don't like being called talentless." MetalGreymon adds "You're far from talentless Shoutmon. If anything, you've got quite a lot more talent than this dragon will ever have." Shoutmon then says "Thanks guys... Now then, how about we play knights and slay this mother." Shoutmon then rose up into the air poised to attack Majiramon. "Earth... Shaker!" He says as he charges at Majiramon head-on. "That tactic again, please... I'll just move out of the way and-" Majiramon was saying before RizeGreymon and MetalGreymon unleashed their attacks. "Trident Revolver!" "Giga Destroyer!" They fired their attacks at Majiramon who ended up too distracted to notice Shoutmon heading directly towards him, until it was too late. Shoutmon then moved the impact very far away from the battlefield.
The resulting explosion caused several meters of the Digital World to be engulfed in flames. Though there were surprisingly no casualties... Except for Majiramon. Shoutmon flew back to the others and said "Well guys, guess we better help out our new friends right?" Taiki and the others nodded in agreement with Shoutmon's plan. They then backed up the Tamers in eliminating the rest of Majiramon's army. Nia meanwhile, ran out of ammo and tried fighting off the Cyberdramon with her fighting skills. She ended up taking out quite a few considering her acrobatic skills that she picked up while training. However, even she had limits. And as she was wearing out, the Cyberdramon just seemed to keep coming. But then, out of nowhere... A mysterious figure clad in a somewhat renaissance outfit, with wrappings that obscured almost every part of the face, except for the bottom of his nose. He also seemed to carry with him a sword wrapped up in similar wrappings but it appeared to have a strange pattern about it. "You okay there ma'am?" The figure said to Nia who responded "I'm fine but... Who are you?" The figure turned to face her and said "Someone you'll come to know of." She turned to spectate Simon fighting Duskmon, however... The moment she turned away, the figure vanished. "I guess he's into DC."
Simon and Duskmon continued their duel. Their blades were colliding so often, that it seemed either side could give in. "Tell me something! How'd you separate yourself from Gai!? I thought you were both one and the same!" Simon said to Duskmon while the sparks fly. "I was able to separate myself from that weakling during our last confrontation! He was decided to feel merciful towards me after he won!" Duskmon responded continuing his attacks until the blades collided and tried to overpower Simon. However, it seemed that Simon took this opportunity to get some distance away from Duskmon and plan out his next attack. He tried striking Duskmon... Only for both of Duskmon's blades to collide with Simon's... And ultimately break Simon's sword. Simon's eyes widened the moment he saw his blade, of which he cherished as his mentor's last gift to him... Was broken. Simon's right hand dropped the broken sword and Duskmon took this as Simon surrendering. "Any last words before I send you to the Digital Underworld?" Duskmon asked placing both blades criss-crossed on either side of Simon's neck. Simon's facial expression at first was obscured by some shadow. However, the moment he looked at Duskmon was the moment his expression showed rage. Simon grabbed both of Duskmon's blades and lifted them over his head, and positioned them so they weren't criss-crossed. Duskmon was extremely shocked to see that this boy, whom he seemed to have underestimated, is now holding his attack down like it's nothing.
[Cue Stardust Crusaders Theme 23(full)]
"You have any idea what you've done!?" Simon asked Duskmon who was now slowly fearing Simon. "You've destroyed the last gift my master ever gave me! And now, you're about to pay the consequences!" Simon said breaking both of Duskmon's blades off and balling his hands into fists. "Impossible! He couldn't have this kind of power! Unless... This is what Daemon was talking about!" Duskmon thought to himself... Before he saw that now Simon had reptile slits in his eyes, brass knuckles on his fists, and more armor on the arms and legs. "And now... Duskmon... Prepare yourself to feel all of my fury at once!" Duskmon's eyes widened before suddenly recieving various jabs all over his body. Several parts were cracking, some even breaking off of Duskmon who was unable to fend off Simon due to his main methods of attacks being his blades, and long range. Duskmon then tried backing away and firing laser beams at Simon with the eyes on his armor. "Deadly Gaze!" Duskmon said firing his attack at Simon... Only for him to dodge and continue his beatdown at Duskmon. Simon continued his beatdown, until Duskmon disintigrated from the sheer power of the attack. "Now you'll no be able to plague any person's mind. Rest in pieces you bastard!"
[End theme]
It seemed that victory was upon the Tamers and Generals. Xros Heart was back together again, and Vamdemon has no more Devas to send in Simon's direction. However, like a lot of things... Victory, came with a price. Simon lost the katana that had been one of his many companions on this journey. And now, he had to part with it. "Simon, you know that Master Gen would want you to move on... Right?" Guilmon asked Simon who was staring at the broken sword, with a somber expression on his face. "I know Guilmon... But, it's just kind of hard for me to move on." Nia puts a reassuring hand on Simon and asks "Do you think we can repair it?" Simon shook his head in response. Impmon walked up to the two and said "I think I know a guy... Who can make new weapons for you guys." Simon turns to face Impmon and asks "Really now?" Impmon then answers "Yeah... But it's not an acquaintance. He's one of the olympus mons..." Simon turned to face his sword and placed it in the ground. "Gen, I know that you've probably been watching over me this whole time. But, I'm afraid we have part ways... For good this time. I hope that these battles we've shared together... Were worth your time. May you rest in peace, here in this new world." Simon said these words and it seemed Simon's friends understood what the sword meant to him... Though Taiki and Xros Heart were somewhat confused. "So Impmon, where is this Olympus Mon?" Simon asked Impmon who sighed and said "Just follow me and I'll get you there in no time." Simon, Nia and Guilmon followed Impmon while the others followed later on.
Simon Ackerman has lost the last gift his master had given him. And so, he gave the blade a eulogy before setting off on his journey. Deep down in his heart... Simon could never replace his katana. But he knew that, he needed a stronger blade. Who is this Olympus Mon that may craft him a new weapon? Find out next time, on Digimon Tamers Crimson!
