It's time everyone. For the third Titan boss and one of the most epic parts of Sonic Frontiers.
The volcano on the island erupted and magma flowed down the side. It poured into a crater enveloped by clouds, burning them away. Inside the Titan was revealed. Sonic, Takumi, Tails, Yuuko and HiAndromon came out of the cave. They noticed the lava flow and traced it to the crater. "Looks like completing that game triggered an eruption." HiAndromon said.
"Yeah." Tails nodded. "And the lava burned away the cloud bank and revealed…"
"The Titan." Takumi replied before turning to Sonic. "Nice work by the way. Didn't take you long to clear that thing."
"I've seen my fair share of pinball machines, I know one when I see one."
"About that…" Yuuko asked. "Was that really part of the original ruins? The technology here is supposed to be older then old."
Sonic folded his arms. "Yet it outpaces Eggman's. I guess the love of pinball predates civilization."
"That is just crazy." Takumi shook his head. As they approached the edge, they spotted the girl they encountered repeatedly. "So, you're Sage." Takumi said. "Dr. Eggman's A.I."
The girl didn't answer. "We're coming up on the last Titan." Sonic said. "Care to bet who'll be the winner this time?"
"Recalculating." Sage said. "Your odds of victory have improved from "impossible" to "highly improbable"."
"Those are just the kind of odds I like to beat!"
"Still…" Takumi said. "These things live up to the name Titans. Even the Royal Knights would have trouble with them."
"It's hard to believe such powerful weapons were created by an ancient civilization." Yuuko replied.
"They're pretty powerful enemies." Sonic said. "But did they manage to defeat the Ancient's enemies?"
"I can only hope their next victim is you." Sage said before disappearing.
Sonic sighed. "Oh yeah. She was created by Eggman alright."
"You certainly take your time with the simplest of tasks." Everyone turned around as Mirei walked up to them.
"Mirei." Takumi turned around.
"Well, the end is in sight. Once you take the final Emerald from that Titan, ChaosGallantmon will be drawn to you."
"Mirei, is it true you helped Keisuke Amasawa as well as me back then?"
"I might have. What of it?"
"Well, he's here in this world right now. He's helping Eggman and his A.I."
"And your point is?"
"Doesn't that concern you at all?" HiAndromon asked.
"Why should it? If he is in the way of our shared goal, then he must be delt with accordingly."
"That's not all Mirei." Yuuko approached the woman with a serious expression. "Keisuke said that Sage predicts the fallen Royal Knights you sent Takumi to destroy are damaging his mental data. He said it could destroy it completely if he tries to take on any more of their data!"
Mirei shook her head. "And just because someone who was previously hiding behind a mask came up an made this claim you doubt the detective at the very end?"
"Mirei, I thought you trusted Keisuke." Tails said. "Isn't that why you helped him even though he wasn't meant to appear in the DigiLab?"
"It is not him that I find questionable." Mirei said. "It's the A.I. and the mad doctor he follows that cannot be trusted. I have already confirmed the information Keisuke was given about Eggman and Sonic is false." She opened up her laptop. She showed them an image of Death Egg Robots assaulting the land when the Eggman Empire had conquered over 99% of the world.
Sonic squinted. "Yup. Adds up."
"That doesn't change the fact that taking data from the knights is negatively affecting Takumi!" Yuuko said. "We've seen enough proof of that already!"
Mirei shook her head. "Still as negative as ever. Have you forgotten that I see all? Did you really think I'd send Takumi on this task without a plan in mind? Once he has the last of the data implemented in him, I will use a program I'm working on to extract it safely. His safety is guaranteed."
"I'm holding you to your word." HiAndromon glared.
"You do that. But right now, your concern should lie with ChaosGallantmon. He will prove to be the greatest challenge the fallen Royal Knights have brought to you yet."
"Wasn't the last one supposed to be their big leader or something?" Sonic asked.
"Unlike Imperiandramon and Omnimon, Gallantmon was a Virus Type like Bagramon to begin with. Merging with his data is unlikely to have caused much degradation. It may have even made him stronger."
"I'm also worried about what Keisuke will do." Yuuko said looking down. "He did warn us that he'd try to stop you if you went for the Titan and ChaosGallantmon. And he's not one to make empty threats."
Takumi put on his goggles and looked at the Titan. "The Titan has the last Chaos Emerald. If we can get that, HiAndromon can use the power he got from Craniamon."
"And become far stronger than the previous Craniamon." Yuuko said. "Almost as powerful as Alphamon herself. But that doesn't mean this will be easy."
Tails looked at Sonic. "Yeah. Even as Super Sonic, that thing is…"
"Keeping you two, Amy, Knuckles, Arata, and Nokia trapped." Sonic replied. "So yeah, the Cyber Sleuth and I are gonna take it down." He started running in circles to stock up on rings with the Cyloop.
"We don't have a choice." Takumi said. "I've already made up my mind."
"Very good." Mirei said adjusting her glasses. "Then hurry up and take care of this." She then took her leave.
"She's oddly impatient for some reason." HiAndromon said.
Sonic turned to Tails. "Sit tight, partner. We'll take out this last Titan and get everyone back to normal!"
"Takumi!" As Sonic and Takumi walked towards the crater Yuuko called out to the detective and he looked at her. "You promised me. Don't forget that."
"I won't." Takumi nodded. He caught up to HiAndromon and Sonic and they approached the crater together.
"Here goes." Sonic slid down the cliffside and HiAndromon set Takumi to sit on his shoulder before he followed. They reached the bottom and stood before the four-legged Titan. The Knight. "Huh." Sonic walked towards it. "It's not moving at all, is it."
"Hey, you're right." Takumi said following. "Is it deactivated or something?"
"Hey, makes our job easier. Let's snatch up that Emerald and take it down while it's napping!"
"Don't kid yourself hedgehog." They looked up towards the Titan's head. Someone with a blue jacket was standing on top of it.
Takumi looked up. "Keisuke…"
The member of Hudie looked at him. "I didn't want it to come to this Takumi… I tried to warn you."
"I know you did. And I appreciate that."
"Then just stay out of this! I have no ill will towards you! Only respect and gratitude! We don't need to have this conflict! I don't want to fight you!"
"Neither do I!" Takumi replied. "I'm grateful for you too Keisuke. You did so much to help Nokia, Arata and Yuuko. I just wish I knew that you remembered the previous reality before all this. We could have tried to console you about it so you wouldn't have to suffer alone. Maybe we could have avoided all this. But I can't abandon the people I believe in. Not Sonic, not Mirei, and definitely not Alphamon. I have to do this." He looked sadly at the hacker. "I'm sorry Keisuke."
Keisuke's fists trembled as he closed his eyes and breathed shakily. When he opened his eyes, they showed sadness. "…I'm sorry too." He put his Digivice over his eyes and made an input then kneeled with his hand on the Titan. The top of its head he touched glowed blue, and he phased into it.
"Keisuke?!"
Inside a dark blue void Keisuke floated in front of three blue monitors. "I don't want to hurt you Takumi. But I can't let you hurt yourself either. You two want to destroy this Titan?!" He leaned and the Knight started sliding on its feet. It rolled up onto the wall and jumped into the air before landing in the center of the crater. "You'll have to tear me down with it!"
"He's... controlling the Titan!" HiAndromon gasped.
"Correct." Sage then appeared. "Keisuke has perfect control over the Titans actions now. And that is not all." She held out her hand and a knight appeared in front of her hanging his head low.
"ChaosGallantmon..." Takumi murmured.
"I have installed your experience in Digimon combat into the fallen Royal Knight. Furthermore, as I previously could the Titans, I can provoke it to attack." Her hand glowed again. The knight roared as Sage floated backwards and upward.
"Sorry Takumi, but this is for your own good!" Keisuke said.
Takumi, Sonic and HiAndromon gritted their teeth. Yuuko and Tails watched from the edge of the crater. "So that's a Royal Knight." Tails said.
"Keisuke's controlling the Titan directly now..." Yuuko murmured. "This just got a lot more complicated."
Sonic glanced at Takumi. "So, plan?"
"Get the Emerald. HiAndromon and I will keep ChaosGallantmon off your back."
"And once we get it? I kinda don't wanna trash that Titan with the poor guy still in it."
"I think I can do something about that if we can immobilize it."
"Alright." Sonic ran towards the Titan. It started swerving around to the other side of the arena and Sonic boosted to chase.
"Atomic Ray!" HiAndromon fired a golden beam at ChaosGallantmon.
The knight blocked it with his shield. "Demons Disaster!" He swung his lance rapidly sending shockwaves at HiAndromon who sidestepped and blocked them all except the last one that scrapped his shin making him collapse. "Spiral Wailer!" ChaosGallantmon charged at him with his lance out. HiAndromon caught it between his hands. The knight lifted his weapon and HiAndromon with it and spun around before throwing him into a wall.
As Sonic started to catch up to Keisuke, the Knight jumped and when its feet hit the ground, spikes started rising up. Sonic leapt over them and grabbed onto the leg before he started running up it. "Oh no you don't!" Keisuke swiped a hand over his leg. The Titan mimicked him. When Sonic saw the giant hand come towards him, he jumped off the Titan before he could get hit. "As long as I can keep the Emerald away from you, you won't be able to defeat us."
"Spiral Sword!" HiAndromon threw a white blade at ChaosGallantmon who slashed it with his lance.
"Gallant Charge!" The knight rushed at HiAndromon who took out his dual weapons and blocked the attack. He parried as many lance attacks as he could while swinging at the knight, but the dark Gallantmon blocked all attempts to damage him with his shield. The knight kicked HiAndromonback who then leapt into the air for a dual overhead swing. "Chaos Crusher!" ChaosGallantmon's shield shot a wave of darkness that blasted him.
The Knight slid on its feet spinning in circles leaving more spikes in its tracks. Sonic backed away from them. The Titan then shot it's left forearm attached to metal wires. Sonic jumped away then boosted into the air, to evade the wave of spikes it made. He then jumped onto one of the cables and started grinding on it. Then Sonic jumped up onto the Titan's torso and started circling round the back. Keisuke backed up the Titan and Sonic gulped as a wall approached and jumped off again. "Oh, come on!"
Takumi gritted his teeth. "This is getting us nowhere." He thought for a moment. "HiAndromon, I have a plan."
"I do hope it's nothing too dangerous."
"That's inevitable at this point." Takumi whistled. "Sonic, over here!"
Sonic turned around and ran towards them. "Where do you think you're going?" Keisuke gave chase in the Titan.
HiAndromon held out his hands and Sonic jumped into them before the Digimon tossed him into the air. He soared towards the Knight going for the altar on its head until the Titan held up his shield and Sonic bounced off it. As he did HiAndromon held out his hands and Takumi stepped into them. ChaosGallantmon charged at Sonic while he was in the air and smacked him to the ground with his lance making him lose a few rings when he hit the ground. "Atomic Ray!" HiAndromon shot at the knight while his back was turned but ChaosGallantmon whirled around and blocked it with his shield before charging again.
Keisuke shot the arm of the Knight and Sonic rolled out of the way. "Is this the best you got Sonic? I'm starting to wonder how Eggman had so much trouble with you!" Sonic grunted as he looked up at the Titan. He then noticed something and smirked. "What's so funny?" Keisuke then glanced to the side at the sound of a clang to see HiAndromon block the lance again. Then something occurred to him. "Wait…where'd Takumi go?"
Sage looked around when she heard the question. She turned to the Titan to tell Keisuke she didn't know when she saw Takumi on top of it walking carefully towards the altar not wanting to lose his balance. "He's on the Titan! He's after the Emerald!"
Keisuke gasped as Takumi sprinted as fast as he could. "Shoot! How did…?!" Keisuke started moving the Titan left and right as fast as he could. Takumi grabbed part of the altar and held onto it as tight as he could as he was shaken.
Sage turned to ChaosGallantmon who turned around and flew towards the Knight. "I think not!" HiAndromon leapt onto ChaosGallantmon's back and latched onto him making him swerve wildly in the air.
The Knight jumped up and down while spinning making Takumi grunt as he tried to reach for the purple Chaos Emerald with his free hand. His fingers slipped against it as he was nearly thrown off. He then reached out again. "Got it!" He pulled the Emerald out of the altar just before Keisuke rammed the Titan against the wall. "Gah!" Takumi's grip on the Titan started to slip. Keisuke then moved forward at full throttle and stopped in the center of the crater making Takumi let go. "AAAAAAAAAAH!"
"TAKUMI!" Yuuko and Tails shouted.
Sonic boosted up the wall. "I gotchya bud!" Once he was high enough, he leapt towards the falling Cyber Sleuth. HiAndromon set his feet on ChaosGallantmon's back and rocketed towards his partner.
"I won't let you!" Keisuke manipulated the Titan's hand to start closing its giant fingers around Takumi who turned to Sonic and held the purple Chaos Emerald towards him as the other six orbited around the hedgehog who reached for the seventh. HiAndromon flew towards them from the other side. Just as they got close the Knight's hand clenched into a fist around them.
"Takumi, no!" Yuuko screamed.
"Sonic!" Tails yelled.
Light shined between the Knight's knuckles. Keisuke gasped and clenched his other hand over his balled-up fist. "No, no, no, no, no!"
"HiAndromon Digivolve to…" In a burst of light, the Knight's hands were blown away and Super Sonic emerged along with a familiar knight with a skull helmet, purplish-blue armor, a dual ended spear and a shield. Takumi stood on his shoulder. "Craniamon!"
Keisuke backed up the Titan. "Darn it! I let my guard down!"
Yuuko looked at them in awe. "So, this is… Super Sonic?"
"Yeah." Tails said. "And Takumi's Digimon…it turned into that knight you fought together."
"Craniamon gave HiAndromon his data after we defeated him." Yuuko replied. "During our final battle when Takumi's Digimon evolved beyond what we thought were their limits, he took on the form of the knight. And he far surpassed the original Craniamon in power as a result." As the cloudy sky started to rain, Yuuko then looked at the Titan Keisuke was in then Takumi on Craniamon's shoulder. Both of them were her friends. And she always felt if they ever met, they would get along. Now here they were fighting each other through no fault of their own. "Takumi… Keisuke… Why…" Yuuko whispered. "Why is this even happening?!"
Tails looked at her sadly. "Yuuko…"
Super Sonic and Craniamon faced the Knight side-by-side as ChaosGallantmon flew next to the Titan's head. "You did see the part of my memories where I beat that guy before, right?" Keisuke asked.
"Sure. With Alphamon's help. And don't think this is the same Craniamon you fought back then." Takumi said with clear eyes. "I don't want to hurt you either, Keisuke. But if this is the only way to save my friends…"
"Then we won't back down." Craniamon said calmly.
Inside the Titan Keisuke raised his left hand and clenched it in front of his forehead. "We won't either." The Knight pulled the giant sword out of its head. Takumi held his hands close and Craniamon mimicked his positioning gripping his spear. ChaosGallantmon and Super Sonic got into fighting stances. Craniamon And ChaosGallantmon rushed at each other, and Takumi swung his arms in sync with Craniamon bringing the Duo Solar Spear down onto ChaosGallantmon's Gorgon shield. Keisuke slid the Knight to the side as Super Sonic rushed at him. The golden hedgehog then turned around and rushed punching and kicking the Knight in the face before Keisuke brought the shield up. Super Sonic threw more attacks, but the shield didn't budge. His fist pressed against it a bit before Keisuke swung the Knight's arm pushing him back. "My turn." Keisuke clenched his fist, and the Titan did the same. The bladed points appeared around the shield. They heated up as the shield started to spin. Super Sonic backed up away from the crater as Keisuke threw the shield at him. Sonic readied himself as it approached and swung his arm at it deflecting it. He flew up and landed on top of the shield and started surfing on it towards the Knight. Keisuke gritted his teeth. "Yeah, not falling for that old trick!" The Titan shot missiles at the shield. Each one exploded and made it swerve uncontrollably making it hard for Super Sonic to get it to his target.
Craniamon and ChaosGallantmon charged past each other with a loud clang as their weapons collided. Takumi then noticed what Super Sonic was struggling to do. "Craniamon, let's help him!"
ChaosGallantmon thrusted at Craniamon but Takumi's knight flew straight for the shield. ChaosGallantmon gave chase. Craniamon landed on the shield with Super Sonic and held he and Takumi held their left hands up as missiles came at them from the front and ChaosGallantmon approached from behind. "Power of Breath!" Takumi and Craniamon shouted as the Omni Shield glowed making a barrier around the giant shield, they stood on. The missiles exploded against it and ChaosGallantmon bounced off it. Keisuke flinched and quickly swung his left arm. The Knight swung its sword at the shield knocking it back. But not before Craniamon jumped off it. He stabbed his spear into the Titan's head. Then Super Sonic steered the shield back into the Titan grinding it against it. As Super Sonic bounced off the Titan and used a Spinning Slash, Chaos Gallantmon charged at him from behind, but Craniamon pounced at it and knocked him onto the Titan's flying shield before he landed on it with him as it flew off.
After a Phantom Rush, Super Sonic used Cross Slash before Keisuke hit him with the sword bashing him into the wall. Super Sonic got off it and flew back towards the Titan as it swung again, and this time deflected the attack. On their Titan's shield, Craniamon and ChaosGallantmon ran towards each other. Craniamon swung his spear down and ChaosGallantmon blocked it with his shield before thrusting his lance that Craniamon blocked with his own shield. Their weapons pressed against their barriers as the shield kept moving. Super Sonic curled into a ball then flew into one of the Knight's front legs making it wobble, then the other. Then he started ramming into the lower body. Keisuke yelped as he started to lose balance then in a flashing golden ring the Knight fell onto its front. Super Sonic then charged into the front knocking the Knight into the air then punched it while ascending as he spun and raised his heel before slamming his foot down knocking the Knight back to the ground with Keisuke yelling as he crashed.
Craniamon jumped backwards off the shield and ChaosGallantmon leapt after him. "Demons Disaster!" His lance shot waves. Takumi held his right hand forward and Craniamon spun his spear deflecting them. "Chaos Crusher!" ChaosGallantmon shot a wave from his shield. Takumi held up his left arm and Craniamon blocked it with his own shield. ChaosGallantmon flew up and trusted his lance repeatedly. Craniamon parried all of them with his spear and mimicking Takumi's movements at the moment he made them he spun around and hit ChaosGallantmon in the face with his shield knocking the enemy back. "Gallant Charge!" CaosGallantmon charged at Craniamon who caught the lance with his shield arm then kicked the knight away while taking it. Craniamon charged this time. ChaosGallantmon held up his shield, but it was smacked aside by Craniamon's spear before he shover the fallen knight's own lance through him, knocking him back towards the Knight as Super Sonic knocked it back when Keisuke tried to shield a Homing Shot.
"Keisuke, stop this!" Takumi yelled. "Think about Erika! She'd never have wanted this pointless fight!"
Keisuke growled. The Titan roared as dark energy engulfed ChaosGallantmon. "Don't you dare use her name against me…!" Pillars rose from the Knight's shoulders as ChaosGallantmon transformed with new black and purple armor with a dual sided lance in his right hand and a sword in the left. He was now Gallantmon Chaos Mode. Inside the Knight Keisuke's eyes were filled with anger and sorrow behind his visor. "YOU DON'T KNOW HER!" As he screamed, the pillars shot red energy bullets everywhere making Craniamon and Super Sonic back up as they guarded while the rain let up.
Gallantmon Chaos Mode swiftly flew at Super Sonic and slashed him with both weapons repeatedly before swinging in a x shape blowing him into the wall. Takumi turned to him. "Sonic!" Keisuke then raised the shield and threw it again. Craniamon flew over it before Keisuke roared swinging the blade knocking the Royal Knight into the wall in front of him. The shield was still bouncing off the walls and soon was heading towards Craniamon again. Takumi grunted and swung his left arm and Craniamon batted it aside with his shield as they got off the wall.
Super Sonic had his back against the wall trying to hold back Gallantmon Chaos Mode's weapons with his hands. Then the Titan's shield Takumi deflected slammed into the Digimon's back allowing Super Sonic to push him off and in the process the shield behind Gallantmon Chaos Mode flew into the Knight when Keisuke charged towards Craniamon, catching him off guard. Super Sonic flew in and did a Quick Cyloop around the Titan and golden spears of light rose from the ground impaling its limbs and lifting it up. "Brace yourself Keisuke!" Super Sonic flew up and did another Quick Cyloop and a much larger spear of golden light rained down from the sky slamming the Knight to the ground with Keisuke crying out in pain. Then when Gallantmon Chaos Mode slashed Craniamon, Super Sonic slammed him from behind with Sonic Boom. After taking the hits the fallen knight spread his arms and roared as purple light blinded his enemies.
Keisuke took that moment to get the Knight back up and held its sword in front of him. He tightened the grip and it split into pieces extending the weapon. He raised it over his head. "Guys, look out!" Tails shouted.
Super Sonic turned around and caught the blade between his hands. "Gotchya." He smirked.
"Who's got who?" Keisuke asked before he pulled the blade back with Super Sonic still holding onto it.
Takumi gasped as the Knight leapt into the air and started spinning when he hit the ground approaching the wall. "Craniamon, stop that blade!" Craniamon flew in to intercept and Keisuke roared as the Titan slammed the sword against the wall. Super Sonic was standing on said wall still holding the blade back with his palms as Takumi grunted with his left arm in front of him while Craniamon mimicked the pose to hold the weapon back with his shield. The three strained against it as it pushed them against the wall further, but Super Sonic lifted it up and Takumi and Craniamon pushed it back with the Omni Shield. Takumi then clutched his fists together as if holding the Duo Solar Spear in both hands. Craniamon copied his posture while Super Sonic reeled a foot back and they smacked the sword away and made the Knight spin backwards out of control.
Super Sonic closed his eyes then burst with golden energy. He flew straight towards the Knight. Keisuke shouted as he swung the sword at him, but he evaded. Keisuke tried to grab him with the other hand, but Super Sonic dodged that too and was soon right in front of the Titan's face making Keisuke gasp. Super Sonic threw an uppercut that made the Titan roar and Keisuke yelp as the Knight's sword flew into the air and sunk into the ground near the volcano while the Titan slumped against the wall. "So, about that plan?" Super Sonic said turning to Takumi.
Takumi had his goggles on and was working on something in his menu. "Keep the knight busy! Craniamon, get me closer to the Titan!"
"Understood!" As Craniamon flew forward Gallantmon Chaos Mode tried to follow, but Super Sonic rushed in and grabbed his sword before kicking him. He and the fallen knight clashed wildly with the weapons they held as Craniamon got close enough for Takumi to jump off and fall towards the Knight. "What are you-
Takumi held his hand out and the Titan glowed yellow where he touched it before falling into it. "Takumi?!" Yuuko gasped.
"What is he doing?!" Tails asked.
Inside the Titan Keisuke looked up at a yellow flash and saw Takumi fly towards him. "Wha…!" When Takumi reached out, Keisuke grabbed his wrist. Takumi gritted his teeth before he punched Keisuke with his other hand then grabbed him by the collar. The two teens fell out of the Titan's chest and Craniamon caught them before flying to the edge of the crater where Takumi tossed Keisuke who rolled onto the ground a safe distance from the fight before he and Craniamon flew back towards it.
Yuuko turned to the hacker. "Keisuke!"
Sage gasped at the turning tide then turned to the Titan and her hand glowed red as it started moving and shot its arm towards Super Sonic while he was dueling Gallantmon Chaos Mode. But Craniamon flew in and batted the hand away then knocked the Gallantmon aside. Super Sonic dropped Chaos Mode's sword then flew to the giant one the Titan dropped. As the Knight and Gallantmon Chaos Mode charged at Craniamon, Takumi held his hand up and Craniamon held the spear in both hands over his head as they both yelled "Shock Ringer!" Craniamon spun the Duo Solar Spear so fast a tornado engulfed both the Titan and the fallen Royal Knight while Super Sonic Cylooped the sword.
Multiple golden waves blew around it and it slowly rose out of the ground in front of Super Sonic who held his hands together in a kendo stance as light shined on him through the dark clouds above before he ascended with the blade and holding it overhead. "Out of the way dudes!" Craniamon and Takumi stopped the tornado and moved aside. Before the Knight or Gallantmon Chaos Mode could recover and defend themselves Super Sonic drove the Titan's blade down and through them with a loud shing and a golden slash. Both enemies slowly shifted in half. Super Sonic floated next to Takumi, and they high fived as the Knight and the Gallantmon started exploding. "Heh. Still got it Caliburn." Sonic smirked to himself.
Keisuke trembled watching the Titan and the last fallen Royal Knight disappear. "No…!"
Black mist left behind by Gallantmon Chaos Mode flowed into Takumi's body. The teen winced and dropped to a knee. "Agh!" Black aura glowed around him.
"Takumi!" Super Sonic approached.
Takumi held up his hand and he stopped. The detective panted a bit before straightening up. "I'm okay…"
"Just hold on!" Craniamon said. "Once Mirei finishes her program we can extract that foul energy!"
Super Sonic and Takumi had a vision of another Ancient who once again spoke in their unique language. And once again they both understood what it said. "We can't let their sacrifice be in vain! They had a plan! Let's do it!"
Then they saw a Gallantmon. "There is no other option! This megalomaniac must be stopped, no matter the price!"
Super Sonic and Takumi gasped. "…Okay, this is seriously starting to freak me out." Takumi murmured.
Keisuke was on his hands and knees. "Takumi…"
"Keisuke!" Yuuko ran over to him. "Are you alright?"
The hacker stood up. "I need to get Eggman out of Cyber Space! Now! Maybe he can find a way to save Takumi before-
"I seriously doubt that." Tails replied.
"Keisuke…Mirei showed us the things Doctor Eggman did to this world." Yuuko explained. "Eggmanland is no utopia for everyone to live happily in, it's an empire he rules from. You've been lied to."
Keisuke looked at her. "What?"
Yuuko pulled up her Digivice. "Tails sent evidence to my Digivice. Here. See for yourself." Her Digivice projected a screen in front of him.
Keisuke gasped in shock and stepped away from what he saw. Sage showed him these robots saying they were part of Eggmanland's security measures. But they weren't just defending. They were burning whole cities to the ground. "...What? No... This can't..."
"That's who Eggman really is." Tails said. "Everything he does is for the Eggman Empire. I bet he wants to go to the Digital World to conquer it too!"
Keisuke clutched his head. "No... No, no, no, no! Does this mean...?!"
"Keisuke?" Yuuko stepped towards him. "Are you okay?" Keisuke grunted as he squeezed his eyes shut. He put on his digivice and opened a gateway. "Keisuke, wait!" Yuuko reached towards him before he ran into it.
Tails looked at her. "Is he going to be okay?"
Before Yuuko could reply she and Tails started glowing. "What is...?" She and Tails disappeared.
Takumi and Super Sonic took a minute to compose themselves. "Okay, so we trashed the Titan-bots, we beat the fallen Royal Knights...what next?" Super Sonic asked.
"Detective!" Takumi turned around to see Mirei standing on the edge of the crater. Craniamon and Super Sonic descended towards her. "You have finally done it. The last of the fallen Royal Knights holding Bagramon's data have been defeated."
Craniamon scowled at her smirk. "Yes, glad to see you are pleased with yourself. Now about that program you promised you'd use to get that data out of Takumi..."
"Oh, I haven't forgotten. It should be done any minute now."
Takumi looked around. "Wait, where'd Keisuke go?"
"Tails and Yuuko are gone too." Super Sonic noted.
"It seems Mrs. Kamishiro exposed Doctor Eggman's true colors to Keisuke." Mirei explained. "The boy didn't take that well and ran off."
Takumi sighed. "Keisuke..."
"As for your friends, thanks to you destroying the Titans I was able to rewrite part of the islands systems and have gathered them all in one place."
"Now that we beat the Titans, does this mean they'll all return to normal?" Super Sonic asked.
"It looks like there is one more procedure to see through. Return to the first island. Specifically, the second half of it you did not venture. I have already sent your friends there and will join you in a moment."
"Alright." Takumi replied. "Let's get going."
Super Sonic and Craniamon nodded before they flew away. Mirei watched them go before giggling and pressing her glasses against her face. "This has worked out even better then I hoped."
I believe someone suggested ChaosGallantmon could mutate into Megidramon, which WOULD make sense, but I wanted to keep up the knight theme for this fight and chose Gallantmon Chaos Mode. Which DOES exist, but only as some action figure. But from what I gather it's basically the Crimson Mode for Chaos Gallantmon. And Craniamon made sense for the final form of Hagurumon since HiAndromon is the natural form before the Royal Knight. And HiAndromon may not be able to Digivolve into it in Cyber Sleuth, but Andromon can. Anyway, now we are done with Chaos Island. But the adventure isn't over yet. See you next week for Rhea Island... Well, more like Kronos Island part 2.
