I don't own digimon.

Chapter 2

The many gears of this multiverse pt 2

Kyoushi only sighed. Only moments before, the hive queen was investigating a body by her own lonesome. She made a quick glance down at herself. Her purple dress looked all right, along with her pink stockings and matching high heel boots. White opera gloves still stretched up her arms, giving her a tiny bit of relief. Even her lips were still painted a weird pinkish purple color. Not that those things really mattered to her. She dug into her bag, pulling a small flute out. She placed it up to her mouth, beginning to pretend play it. If she actually played the instrument in her current locale, it would have spelled disaster for her and everyone else in the train car. While it would have been a nice change of pace around here at the moment, she was pretty certain everyone would wring her neck for doing so. It probably not a feeling she wanted to feel.

Nevertheless, she placed the device back in her bag as a girl walked up. Like Kyoushi, she was dressed in a dress. But, hers was pink for some reason. That, along with it being covered in sparkly glitter. Even her opera gloves were matching. Personally, the hive queen preferred some variety in her outfits. That way, she could stand among her works at the very least. This girl, hadn't even realized that idea yet. She probably still believed that being royalty was a dream come true. In truth, it wasn't anything like that. While all the privileges were nice, all that glitters was not gold.

"Hi." The girl announced and Kyoushi groaned. After a recent event where she had to interview a dog in connection to a murder, she wasn't in the mood to talk with any mammals in general. Not that it stopped the girl from ignoring her hint. "What's your name?"

"Fuck you." She answered and the other girl sighed.

"Marissa," "Princess" Marissa greeted, a large orange dinosaur following right behind her. For some reason, the dino was wearing lipstick, mascara and some eyeshadow. A set of pink teardrop earrings hung to it's "ears" and it claws were rounded off along with being covered with pink nail polish. Yet, it was quite fine with that fact. "Along with Lady Agumon."

Scanning...

Agumon

Rookie, Vaccine

Special Moves: Royal Flame

.

Marissa: A perfect pet for an up and coming ruler.

Unknown: Sure...

"Kyoushi." The queen snarled and her gaze returned to the window.

"That's a nice name." Lady Agumon added and Kyoushi only ignored them.

"So, where is your kingdom?" Marissa inquired, the other side of conversation ready to slam the pseudo princess over the head. But, she resisted the urge and took another deep breath. "Mine's located in the digital world."

"Bonessa." Kyoushi mumbled, her gaze finally focusing on Marissa. "It's a dimension that's the only place to find the honey of despair."

"Honey of despair?"

"It's a wonderful liquid, created from positive and negative emotions." Marissa only stared back, a blank plastered on her face.

"Okay then." Marissa then turned around, looking out the window. They were heading too some large mass of land, but everything on top appeared to be rubble, ruins or a mix of the two. For her, it was a nice change of pace to the city she called home.

"Do I seriously have to wear clothes?" A voice remarked and Marissa got up, Lady Agumon following right behind. It was a young woman with a teenage boy. The boy appeared to be dressed in some sort of metal armor, which appeared to be a little loose on him. His blonde hair was cut short, going well with with his sand-colored eyes. The woman on the other hand, was dressed in a skimpy black dress covered in small metal plates. Her long black hair flowed down to her waist as two purple eyes stared towards them.

"Yes." The boy remarked and the woman fell to her knees.

"Please master, what do I have for you in order to be free from this shackle you've placed on me?" The boy only sighed, ready to kick his partner. Not that it would really help either one of them. He could easily stab her in the heart and she could could disintegrate his body.

"Hi." Marissa greeted and the two finally noticed her.

"Byaka and Lilithmon at your service." Byaka explained as Marissa watched."Knight and Squire."

Scanning…

Lilithmon

Mega, Virus

Special Moves: Nazer Nail & Empress Emblaze

.

Lady Agumon: These two seem like one of those old married couples

Lilithmon: That's not true!

Byaka: Yeah! We've only been together for five months.

"Hey!" Lilithmon shouted, turning to face her master. "I thought we agreed that you were the knight and I was the damsel who was also a stripper!"

"Is that so, squire?" Lilithmon groaned, her nails now glowing with purple energy.

Nazer Nail!

Byaka and Marissa both ducked, barely missing Lilithmon's attack. Byaka only gave his partner a cautious glance and the digimon sighed.

"I probably should introduce myself." Marissa remarked, looking the two in the eye. "Marissa Damon of Oracha."

"Oracha?" Lilithmon inquired as the purple glow disappeared from from her nails.

"It's an up and coming kingdom ruled by my friend Usagi and I."

"Well, good luck on your venture." Byaka remarked as a bolt of something flew down the aisle. The knight turned around, finding another teenage girl messing around with a stick. She was dressed in a black dress that almost went down to her feet. For some reason, the garment was covered in all sorts of arcane symbols the two had never seen before. Short silver hair trailed down to her neck, complimenting the mage's ghostly pale skin. Two peridot orbs stared towards as gray painted lips mumbled something. Whatever it was, it was something powerful, judging from the small crater in the middle of that section of the aisle.

"Hey!" Lilithmon shouted and the girl laughed. "You could have killed us."

"Maybe that's the exact point?" The girl answered and Lilithmon suddenly found herself in mid-air. "If I really wanted too, I could just kill you."

"I could do the same!"

"I doubt the people at DLA seriously taught a ditz like you to fight." Lilithmon only rolled her eyes and swung her legs towards her opponents. Somehow, the gravitational pull holding her in mid-air applied to her legs as well.

Priestess Arrow!

A beam of light slammed into the girl, causing Lilithmon to fall on her face.

"Mizuki Yasu, I would suggest you not try that again, nya."

Mizuki only groaned as a pink catgirl walked up to trio. She was dressed in cream colored robes and her reddish orange eyes stared towards them. Her bow was hanging on her back, ready to be used.

"Who the heck are you and how do you know my name?"

"Kuro Neko knows all who enter mother's realm, nya." Kuro Neko remarked and Mizuki only sighed.

"How does this make any sense?" Byaka remarked and Lilithmon laughed.

"Light and darkness are merely labels given by the countless cosmic observers." Lilithmon answered as her partner stared blankly at her.

"Huh?" Byaka took a deep breath. It was probably something stupid, like the advantages of being trapped in a train over a high school. Not that they were both equally despairing, just equally annoying to be trapped in. After all, being forced to kill one another over and over again did lose it's effectiveness.

"Never mind." Lilithmon's gaze focused on Kuro Neko, who was examining her bow for anything wrong with it."So how are you and your mom?"
"Pretty good. Things have been hectic in the dark realm due to that stupid jester." Kuro Neko whispered and placed her bow back on her back. "How about you, Luxuria?"

"Let's see… I'm trapped with knight in a high school forced to kill one another for the rest of our lives. That, and my human has a murderous reaper for a girlfriend. In other words, things have gone wonderful for me."

After she was finished speaking, two metal scissors slammed through the mega's skin.

"So you don't like me, lass?" A voice remarked, only to get a 1000 volts from Mizuki. "Then you'll just have to die by my scissors!"

A second bolt immediately homed in, probably sending twice the volts into their aggressor. It was a teenage girl. For some reason, she was dressed in a purple sailor fuku with a red ribbon and a matching very long skirt. For some reason, she had no skin but two long braids of dark purple hair trailed down. Lilithmon only pulled the scissors out, throwing the weapons to the ground.

"Syo, leave them alone." Byaka remarked and the girl known as Syo turned.

"Come on my love, can't I have some fun?" Byaka stared at the ground and sighed.

"No."

"Well you're no fun."

"See?" Lilithmon whispered and Kuro nodded.

"You'll just have to deal with it, my friend." Kuro Neko answered, only for Lilithmon to slam her head against the seat in front of her.

"Hey! I'm trying to sleep here!" Kyoushi announced, only to get ignored by the large group. She sighed and attempted to go back to sleep once again. Not that she really needed it, judging from the fact that it had been morning when she started. Try as she might, sleep would not come to her. So, she turned her gaze towards the window. Outside, the large tropical landmass was coming into view. Strangely, a large group of the very unimportant character along with a second group containing everyone who's died thus far. For some reason, they were just standing at the edge, possibly to welcome them.

"Okay then." The hive queen thought as the train began to slow down and descended towards the area. As their transport did that, a second train popped into existence heading to the same destination as the first. Only a few minutes later, the two trains stopped and the door opened. Outside, it was your typical tropical greeting, just a bunch of white sand and palm trees. Above, the sun hung among the light blue void. What followed, was a flood of main and supporting characters join up with the dead ones. Strangely, the group immediately headed off, taking almost everyone with them.

"Aren't you coming?"

Victoria only sighed. LadyDevimon was standing at the edge of their landing strip, waiting for her partner to follow right behind.

"Not yet." Victoria answered and switched to her digimon form. "Just go on ahead."

"Suit yourself." LadyDevimon ran back over to the group while Victoria only stood here. The digimon only smiled. It had been too long since the two had really been together. Their last meeting, lasted only a few minutes. Even then, the jester decided to show her face.

Speaking of which, the black cat could hear the screams of said omega. That, along with the sound of gunfire and some sort of magic. She took a deep breath and smiled. It was a teenage girl, dressed in a gray white tank top with black skirt. Long red hair flowed down to her waist, purple and pink ribbons thrown in for some reason. Two red eyes stared towards the digimon as a blue dragon wyvern thing followed right behind.

"No matter how far you go or how long you're gone," Victoria whispered as the girl stood in front of her. "I'll be there for you."

"Thanks, friend." The girl remarked, giving the blackgatomon a hug.

"Go away, Veemon." Victoria remarked, only for the digimon to ignore her.

"Come on, can't we share Chouko?" Veemon answered and Victoria groaned.

"No." At that point, Chouko pulled both of her combat knives out. She debated stabbing one or the other, possibly both of them. She only sighed as Victoria switched back to her human form.

"I doubt we want to be late for this." Victoria explained, motioning for the duo to follow right behind...

Notes:

I guess you'll have to wait to find who the la-

"You wouldn't forget about us, would you?"

Izzy only sighed. He wasn't sure how he managed to end with the one person he hated the most, but he did. Somehow, he had ended up with Varia. Which, wouldn't be so bad if the witchmon rip-off didn't suggest every few minutes to jump into a bush and get it on.

"Come on, it will be fun!" Varia announced and the splicer groaned.

"I'm not in the mood, Yolei." The scientist remarked, not in the mood to get his new lab coat dirty. That, along with his spiky red hair. You could never know with a place like this. Varia pulled both of her gladius out, ready to stab the scientist.

"And yet that still doesn't explain why you're here." Varia answered, dusting her green gown off. After, she gave her hair a quick brushing and continued down the path.

"I impressed that cosmic idiot so much, I just needed to be here." Izzy only sighed, cracking a smile.

"Whatever, prodigious." The two made their way up the hill, attempting to catch up...

Actual Notes:

Chouko literally means "Butterfly Child" in Japanese.

Kuro Neko means "Black Cat in Japanese.

Omega digimon are two ranks higher than normal mega's. Along with that, they're usually only one per a dimension.

And yet, one more character remains. Technically two, before we get meet the organizer of this game.

Next Time: Only two more to see before the fun begins...
