Chapter 7

Battle of Adventurers pt 3

Marissa sighed. After her near experience with death, she needed to be more careful. Which, sounded off for her to say. At the moment, she had decided to take on ToxinAngewomon.

Toxin Arrow!

The ultimate loaded an arrow into her glovebow and fired. The projectile headed towards Marissa, only for it miss.

"Could you just hold still?" ToxinAngewomon accused and Marissa laughed.

"Because that wouldn't be a fitting death for a princess." The princess remarked, making a face directed towards the angel.

"Bring it on!"

Marissa charged towards the angel. As she did that, arrows covered in an unknown toxin were fired her way. While it would be cool to know what said toxin is, she was pretty sure that it wasn't anything nice.

Defense Poison!

A green circle of goop materialised around ToxinAngewomon and Marissa stopped.

"Beat that." ToxinAngewomon remarked and the princess took a few steps back. Then she did a running jump towards her opponent, performing a barrage of kicks and slashes from her fan. She then landed on the ground, giving a bow. "Oh, so graceful and beautiful! How much longer are you going to perpetuate this?"

"Perpetuate what?"

"That you're a goddamn princess."

"I am!" Marissa dug her digivice out. "Reload, Kokatorimon!"

DutchessGreymon's corpse disappeared, with a giant white bird taking it's place.

"So you got another one, big deal." Kokatorimon walked over to the two, towering over both Marissa and ToxinAngewomon. "Fuck."

Kokatorimon scooped the angel up and proceeded to use her as a stick to draw lines. Once he was finished, the bird flung his toy into the sky. Marissa gave the digimon a thumbs-up and headed off to find her next opponent. A few seconds later, ToxinAngewomon fell back to earth and landed head first in the ground.

Nora Karnoc has been eliminated! 4 opponents remain!

"Hey! Our odds just improved!" Varia announced as she and Ace charged towards Victoria.

"There is no such thing as odds." Victoria answered as she and Ace locked blades. "I expected you too to know that."

"What, you're still mad about what happened?"
"Mad, no. Still holding a grudge, possibly."

"Huh?"

"In other words, I'm not mad but I am at the same time."

Gale Bird!

The gaseous bird shot of the hunter's katanas, slamming into his opponent. Victoria snarled, slamming her butterfly swords even harder into Ace's katanas.

"It's funny how much time changes some things and leave other things the same." Victoria remarked as the two traded sword slashes. "You have changed greatly and yet, you're still the same person who wanted to catch me all that time ago."

Ace gave a her brief glance, confused by her response.

Storm Wyvern Uprising!

The hunter then jumped out of the way, allowing Varia to shoot her attack off.

"Why do you care?"

"Because you matter." The wyvern construct then connected with Victoria's butterfly swords, giving the hybrid a jolt of electricity. The two snickered and continued with their swordfight. "It's said that all who cross paths have a reason for doing so."

"I guess that explains all the people I now have to work with." Ace remarked, knocking one of Victoria's butterfly blades away. Victoria only sighed. There were only four of them left and only one could win this. At this point, she was running out of energy. While normally this wouldn't be a bad thing, it seemed to be in greater effect than usual. As they fought, Ace's movement with his katanas seemed to getting quicker while Victoria's movement with her butterfly swords began to slow down. "Are you alright?"

"No." Victoria whispered as she began to stumble about. "Just kill me now."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

Ace dug both katanas into Victoria's heart, immediately pulling them out. The two only watched as the hybrid fell to the ground, a smile plastered on her face.

Victoria Arcana has been eliminated! 3 competitors remain!

"So are you going doing the same thing you did to me as the last one who crossed your path?" Marissa accused, her opponent currently attempting "the death via stare" method. At the moment, she was taking on Rantha, since Ace and Clara were occupied with Victoria at that moment.

Beauty Senshi Slash!

Marissa ran towards the summoner, slamming her folding fans into him. Somehow, there appeared to be no battle damage on Rantha's naginata.

"Ha." Rantha remarked, slamming his naginata into his opponent, knocking Marissa down. Marissa only got back, quickly dusting herself off.

"Bring it on!" The princess announced and ran back towards her opponent, only for Rantha to chop her head off in one swoop. The rest of her body then exploded. No one was sure why, but it did.

Marissa Damon has been eliminated! Only two competitors remain!

"So we're the last ones then." Ace remarked and headed towards Rantha, with Varia following right behind. Rantha did the same, with Alkonost sitting on his shoulder.

Combo: Gale Wyvern Destroyer!

The group of wyverns reappeared, shooting off cyclones brimming with electricity. As that happened, Alkonost flapped it's wings and flew towards the opponents. As is was about to reach them however, a stray boomerang struck the russian bird siren thing. Strangely, the creature then began to plummet to the earth.

"Alkonost, return to the void" Rantha announced and Alkonost disappeared. He then sighed, turning to face Ace and Clara. "I'll get you for that!"

The summoner then charged towards to the hunter and his magical girl, unfazed by the lightning tornadoes that he ran through.

"Do either of us look capable of throwing a piece of wood that perfectly?" Varia answered as she launched a wyvern to intercept Rantha. The wyvern shot out of her kopi's, slamming into Rantha. But, it appeared to do no damage to him, not even fazing him at all. "I guess you're not in the mood to listen."

As Rantha reached the pair, he swung his naginata back. Once he was in striking distance, he swung it into Ace. Ace only ducked, slashing the summoner with his katanas. As Ace did that, Varia slammed their opponent with whatever magic she still had left.

"No offense, man." Ace whispered, kicking Rantha to the ground. A few stabs later, Rantha fell to the ground.

Rantha Kaolin has been eliminated! Ace and Clara win!

The duo stood there, waiting for Chao's platform to come down.

"Is this real?" Ace remarked and Clara looked at him.

"Yes." Clara looked at him. "We've died enough to definitely deserve this."

"Well you might die at least once more."

The two turned around, finding the guy from the last chapter's end sequence standing before them.

"Who the fuck are you?" Clara answered and the person laughed.

"Auran, the first hero." Auran remarked as his hawk and crow companions caught up to him.

"Doesn't ring a bell at all." Ace answered and Auran smiled. "What do you want?"

"I offer a gift." Auran offered, giving his bird a slight nod.

"What sort of gift?"

"The gift of life."
"Huh?"

"In exchange for the lives of my companions and I, your friends lives shall be returned to them."
"Sounds good, I guess."

"You're serious?"

"You should have just sacrificed yourself already. Neither I or the readers have any reason to care about you."

Auran sighed, whispering something under his breath. As he whispered, his body exploded into a ball of energy. A few seconds later, his birds did the same. The three balls of energy then circled around the arena, dusting the fallen with magical dust. However, it's still unknown whether or not said dust cause hallucinations to the dusted.

"What happened?"

"I guess we've been brought back."

"Duh, nya."

"It could be worse."

"You just had to say it."

"It doesn't matter."

One by one, the competitors stood back up. Even the time-displaced Jestery reappeared, with all her body parts in the proper places.

After everyone had disappeared, the three energy balls faded away. Coincidentally, this was at the exact same time Chaos's platform reached the ground.

"Hey, you're all supposed to be dead!" The organizer announced, Ace heading right towards her. "Now what?"

Gale Bird!

The bird-shaped projectile immediately slammed into Chaos, knocking her off the platform. Ace immediately climbed aboard, grabbing the microphone sitting on the throne.

"Hello!" He announced, getting a mix of shouts and boos. "You probably don't know me. But, I'm Ace Resterez."

"Boo!"

"Get on with it!"

"I love you!"

"Who cares?"

"But, I need your help to kick her ass!" The hunter announced as Chaos approached.

Celebration filled the stadium as everyone seemed to get up from their seats, heading towards the bottom of the stands.

"Stop this at once." Chaos announced, pulling microphone out of Ace's hands. "This wasn't how it was supposed to go!"

"This is a fanfic. You should have seen this coming." Ace answered, giving Chaos a few quick slashes and ran back over to Clara. "Ready to do this?"

"Totally." Clara answered as an army of scorceressmon flooded into the arena. As that happened, the characters of the digitalverse began to do the same.

Instead of everyone's favorite blue wyvern thing, stood a figure cloaked in light blue and silver armor. A couple horns jutted out of his head as two yellow eyes stared towards his opponents.

Beside the armored figure, stood a white demonic dragon. Two large purple dragon wings jutted out of his back with a cannon like device in the middle of said wings. Two dull yellow eyes examined them, curious about the current situation. Behind the two mega's, was a large yellow ankylosaurus. A long wrecking ball tail trailed behind him, connecting to his very spiky shell. Finally, he had a set of bull horns and was watching with a set of brown eyes.

To his right, stood what appeared to be a girl with the legs of a bird and the top of a cat. Strangely, the digimon was wearing the skull of an exveemon over her head. Beside her, stood a man dressed in emerald green armor while carrying a golden lance. He was possibly attempt to cosplay as some sort of insectoid hero, but seemed to be failing at it.

To the left of MaloMyotismon, stood a woman dressed a purple latex suit with matching black high heel boots that went all the way up her thighs. Purple latex opera gloves covered almost her entire arms. Crowning her head, was some purple rose petals.

Floating overhead, was a young woman dressed in a pink tutu. A set of white butterfly wings hung on her back, flapping quite fast. Other than that, her blonde hair was cut short, complimenting her light blue eyes. Back on the ground, stood a gray lynx covered in black armor. Strangely he had glowing green horn coming out of his forehead. Sitting on said Lynx, was a little flame lion thing. The only thing special about him was the fact that it was covered in magical sparkles. Varia stood to the right of the two, now dressed in a red and orange version of her outfit.

At the far end of the group, Elena was standing next to a white catgirl dressed in a black trenchcoat, with a matching t-shirt and pants. On her other side, was some guy covered in a large black winged cloud. Other than that, it made it impossible to see if the person had any clothes on. Finally, a slimegirl laid in front of the group Strangely, one could see the faint outline of a large dragon like thing for some reason.

After, all the other combat people joined them.

"Is everyone ready?" Victoria announced, getting shouts of excitement and anticipation from her teammates. "Then let's do this!"

Notes:

Oh things are going to get real fun. Are you ready for the biggest battle I ever written?
