Well that was quick.

No, seriously, I didn't think we'd get the next chapter out so soon after the last one, but we somehow managed to do it.

Anyway, considering everyone has been found, you all know what this next chapter is, and the title makes it obvious.

So, let's go!

Radiant Wings! Garudamon!

In a darkened part of Server, in an ominous castle under dark clouds, the sounds of pain could be heard. "Mercy! Forgive me!" DemiDevimon shouted as he was tied to a torture rack by his wings and legs, the apparatus pulling away in both directions at an agonizingly slow speed.

"Mercy? You would beg for mercy, when you have done nothing but constantly fail me? You have even caused the deletion of quite a few of my trusted warriors with NOTHING to show for it! You were sent to stop the 8 remaining Crests from awakening, and all you've done is cause 7 of them to awaken!" Spoke a tall being, as the low lighting of the room kept him hidden for the most part, except for a black cape with a high collar, and a regal looking blue outfit.

Once again DemiDevimon let out a scream of pain "B-but that's just it my lord! The last crest! The one who has it, she has doubts, I've seen it! I-if you strike her down now, the Chosen Children will be in disarray, and your victory will be all but secured!" he said, coming up with a plan to use to plead with for his life.

The being was silent at that, and DemiDevimon could feel his piercing gaze through the darkness "I suppose you are correct. She is indeed the weakest link of their group at the moment. Dealing with her swiftly before she somehow activates her Crest is imperative." the being then let out a low laugh as a pair of small fangs glinted in the low light of the room "Perhaps I may even find myself with a feast once I defeat them."

"O-Of course. They are no match for your great power, my lord!" DemiDevimon said frantically. "Why, I'm sure you could crush them all right now yourself!"

However, instead of being flattered, the being seemed less than impressed. "Fool!" he roared, as the pull increased a little. "This is why you constantly fail! There is a time and a place for everything, and now is not it. No, if I were to go now, my odds would be less than favorable, especially should they all reunite, which they will no doubt accomplish. Even more, should I attack them, they possess two Perfect Levels with holy abilities, it would be like jumping into the Maw of Leviamon."

DemiDevimon shivered at that last part "No disrespect my lord, but THEY scare me even more than you do."

"I don't blame you, they're not ones to be trifled with." the being said, annoyance clear in his voice. "At any rate, in order to ensure the holder of Love's elimination, it would be prudent to separate her from the flock. United they will stand, so divided I will make them fall," he smirked, dark laughter leaving his lips, one that would send chills of fear down many spines.

"This is very uncomfortable." Blake groaned as she was squeezed between Yang and Ruby in the swan boat.

"At least you don't have boots in your back." Gyro said, before feeling said boots be removed… and be replaced with normal feet "I guess that's better, thanks Ruby."

"No problem." the silver eyed girl said, before pushing a little on his back, only instead of him being annoyed, he groaned a little bit "Little to the right." making her blink, before shrugging, figuring she could give him a hand… sorta, if his back was hurting.

"I'm not complaining." Pierce said, as he felt two rather soft objects on the back of his neck.

"Of course you aren't." Yang said in amusement as she rested her arms on top of his head and pushed herself forwards just a bit, making him shiver as her chest pushed up against him more.

Blake gave her a deadpan look but chose not to comment on it. Instead she looked upward. "You guys okay up there?" she asked to the Digimon on top of the boat.

"We're okay," came the reply as the Digimon were a little cramped up on top and had to regularly be careful to avoid falling, Patamon and Biyomon even having to stand on top of the others. In retrospect they probably SHOULD have remained in Baby Form. As it was, Biyomon was sitting on top of Agumon and Veemon, while Patamon was sitting on top of Palmon. "Are we there yet?" came the long suffering question.

"Not yet," came the reply from below.

"But I think I can see the shores!" Ruby added.

"Thank you!" was response, a mix to her and to the heavens.

When they finally did reach the shore, they were met with a slightly surprising sight, seeing that Jaune's group was waiting there for them. "Well...I guess it makes sense they got here sooner. They DID have the jeep," Veemon commented.

"Jeep which I heavily doubt is going to have enough place for all of us." Gyro said in slight annoyance.

"It WAS a temporary thing until we found the RV again...hopefully…" Agumon sighed.

"Well enough of that, we should meet up with them," Blake pointed out, before idly fingering her ears, the bow no longer covering them. In fact, with her mind made up, she'd went and discarded it altogether. She'd made her choice, and come what may, she wouldn't run from who she is anymore.

Ruby was the first to come forward. "Everyone!" she called out, catching their attention.

"Huh, looks like they found the others." Jaune noticed.

"That can't be comfortable though." Weiss said when she saw how cramped the other group was in the swan boat. She also winced when she noticed them all but crawling out of the boat, which was easier said than done… and then she looked on in confusion when Blake crawled out, and she spotted the cat ears on top of her head. She wasn't the only one.

"Uh...did we miss something?" Nora blinked.

"It's...a long story…" Gyro sighed. And here comes the less than enjoyable part.

"Should I open with THAT?" Blake muttered.

"You probably should honestly." Yang told her just as low.

"Guess you're right," Blake sighed.

A short amount of time later, the group was gathered together, the sun setting as they sat around a campfire in the woods.

Weiss sighed after several silent moments "This honestly doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would."

"You're… not angry?" Blake asked in surprise.

"Not really, I'm more annoyed honestly about you keeping it secret for so long. I've had a long time to think honestly about what Gyro and Pierce said on our first day here, two whole months to think, and I've found that they were right." Weiss said after a moment.

"Well… that's issue number 1 dealt with at least." Gyro muttered.

"We can deal with the second one in the morning if you need a bit more time to think about how to explain it." Yang assured the twins.

"We'd appreciate that, we need to think about how best to put it so no one panics." Pierce murmured with a nod from his spot next to her.

"Well...since we're all here and it's starting to get late, we should probably plan to set up camp," Ren suggested.

"Good idea," Pyrrha nodded in agreement.

"I'll go look for firewood," Gabumon volunteered.

"We'll help," Agumon and Biyomon said as well.

"Right, we should also put our supplies together so we know what we got, then we can plan from there," Gyro nodded.

Being back together was definitely nice, as before long they all had a merry fire going on, with some dinner being cooked using some local ingredients as well as some of their supplies, including some pots and pans they'd...borrowed...from Digitamamon's diner.

...what? Nobody ever said they had no hard feelings for that incident.

It wasn't long before they were all sharing an enjoyable dinner around the fire. However, despite the cheerful atmosphere, Yang was feeling a little...down again...she'd tried not to let it bother her, but the fact remains that she was the only one in their group who HADN'T awakened her Crest yet, and this added with her own insecurities...it wasn't helping at all…

Ruby seemed to notice, and went closer. "Yang? You okay?" she asked, more than a little worried.

Yang sighed "Yeah, I'm good, just… it's just I noticed something, that's all."

"Is it about your Crest?" Ruby asked. She had a feeling that was the issue still.

"...yeah…" Yang sighed. There really wasn't much point hiding it. "I...don't really want to talk about it right now…"

"Oh…" Ruby said, looking down, before hugging her sister "I'll be there when you want to talk."

Yang smiled a bit and returned the hug "Thanks Rubes."

"No problem, sis," Ruby smiled.

A short time later, Yang did look a little better as Biyomon sat next to her, and she watched as Ruby was still being a bit awkward around Gyro, and vice versa, while being a little further away from camp.

Honestly, they really made such an adorable couple.

"Feeling ok?" the pink bird asked her partner.

"Pretty decent I guess." Yang admitted, smiling a bit.

Biyomon nodded at that, smiling in relief, before looking thoughtful "Do you want me to tell you what I saw in the mist?"

Yang actually paused to think about it, before slowly, she nodded silently, curiosity eating at her.

"Well, I saw you, and you were really small, small enough I could probably hold you in my arms, and then a woman came into the room and she looked a lot like you, but she had black hair and red eyes, and she said that 'This is for your own good.' and that 'You can't always rely on your family.' before she made a hole in the air and just left." Biyomon explained, giving Yang only the important parts.

Yang frowned. "Mom said that, huh…?" she said. At one point she thought she'd have felt...sad...at hearing that...but ever since she saw what would have been a meeting between her and her mother in one future...she honestly couldn't say she was surprised to hear those words…

She took a deep breath for a few moments, before letting it out slowly "Well… she can go jump off a cliff then."

Biyomon blinked in surprise at the words "Um… isn't that kind of extreme?"

"Honestly? Maybe, but I just can't be bothered to care about her opinion right now." Yang said with a shrug.

"...okay?" Biyomon blinked. She...wasn't sure how to feel about that answer...but if that was how Yang felt about it, then she'd support her. "If that's how you feel, then I'm always there for you," she said.

"Thanks, Biyomon," Yang smiled. The two soon descended into some quiet...before a new voice cut in.

"Got room for one more?" Pierce asked.

"Sure, sit down." Yang said with a smile as he sat next to her and put an arm around her waist.

"So...feeling better?" he asked. "I saw you earlier, but I had a feeling you wanted some time to think before anything so...yeah…"

"A bit better yeah, especially after letting some emotion out." she admitted.

"Yeah, I heard that bit." Pierce said in amusement.

Yang laughed sheepishly at that "Yeah… maybe I went overboard, but, seriously, I don't care about her opinion anymore, so she can just bugger off you know?"

"Yeah, I get what you mean." Pierce said with a small laugh.

"...so...you've seen her, right? Through the webshow?" Yang couldn't help but ask. "I know its kinda strange for me to ask now but...did she ever...care?"

"That's...complicated…" Pierce sighed. "I don't think I can give you a clear yes or no on that."

"Huh?" Yang blinked.

"I think the best way to describe your mom from what I could see before we came here... Complicated," Pierce started. "I won't say she never cared, and if the last scene we saw her was any indication, she does in some way. But she's...let's just say she has a very different world view. Personally, I never liked her much. Any mom who'd call saving her daughter ONCE a 'freebie' and be perfectly willing to let her be after that, come what may...she sucks as a mom. Plain and simple," Pierce said. "But did she care? I guess, in her own way, she did. Still don't think it's the kind any of us would care for though…"

Yang nodded slowly, taking it in, before hooking onto one part of what he said "Freebie?" she repeated in confusion.

"Ah, yeah, basically, there was going to be a point in the future where some psycho mute girl was going to stab you but Raven got in the way and then left… and then when you got in even worse danger later on, she didn't come to help at all." Pierce explained, while trying to think about how to mention what the worse danger led to. "Bluntly put...she's a believer of 'Law of the Jungle'. Strong live, weak die, and that's that."

"I...see…" Yang said rigidly, while next to her Biyomon had her beak hanging open in complete shock.

"Uh...Yang?" Pierce asked, a little worried when she didn't say anything for a while. He knew she probably didn't take that so well but…

"Well she can go take her beliefs and choke on them…" Yang said softly, coldly even.

"You won't hear me disagreeing." Pierce said softly.

"In that case I'm glad she left me!" Yang shouted suddenly, causing both him and Biyomon to jump back in surprise.

"Y-Yang?" Biyomon asked, worried.

"You know...I can't believe I wasted so much time wondering about someone like her…" Yang chuckled emptily. It was a self loathing and hollow sound. "But I get it now. She never cared. Not about dad, not about uncle Qrow, and not about me. I get it now. Raven Branwen may have given birth to me...BUT SHE'S NOT MY MOM!" Yang shouted, before suddenly turning around and running off deeper into the nearby woods.

"Yang!" Biyomon called out after her, before following.

"What happened?!" came Blake's surprised voice as the others arrived at the scene, having heard Yang's angry shout.

Pierce sighed, and looked at Gyro, before saying, "Yang asked about her mom."

"...ah…" was all Gyro could say at that.

"Why is that a problem?" Weiss couldn't help but ask.

"Yeah, why is that a problem?" Some of the Digimon asked too.

"Let me put it this way. Yang's mom is a contender for 'worst parent of the year' award. Falling only a little behind Jacques Schnee," Gyro said bluntly.

"...ah…" was all the other hunters could say at that…

"And Yang's been looking for her…" Ruby said in realization. "We should go after her!"

"Wait!" Pierce said. "She's got a lot on her mind. I don't think all of us should go."

"But we can't leave her!" Ruby argued.

"Never said we had to," Pierce said. "Ruby, you and me should go after her. I think she'll be more likely to listen to us rather than if everyone goes after her."

"He's got a point. I think she needs her sister and boyfriend the most right now," Pyrrha nodded in agreement.

"And we're coming too," Palmon and Veemon said.

"Right. We should hurry before she gets too far," Pierce said before the four of them ran after Yang. "We'll call if anything happens. Just stay at camp first," he added as they were soon out of sight.

"So, hold down the fort I guess." Jaune said with a sigh.

"It's the only thing we CAN do." Ren added.

"I just wish we knew more about what's going on." Weiss said with a sigh.

"You will in the morning, I promise you all that, I just need to think of the best way of explaining it because it's some pretty heavy stuff." Gyro assured her, earning a nod from the heiress.

"You humans are pretty complicated though." Tentomon said.

"Yeah, one minute you're ok, the next, well, THAT." Gomamon added, pointing towards the deeper parts of the forest.

"For now let's just go back to the campsite." Gabumon suggested.

"I wonder if anything got caught in the nets?" Wormmon murmured in thought.

However, Agumon paused, sniffing the air before grimacing "Does anybody else smell that?"

Pierce, Ruby, Palmon, and Veemon ran for a while, before reaching a clearing, and finding Yang kneeling on the ground, sobbing while Biyomon was trying to console her.

Pierce sighed softly, before going up to Yang, making sure his presence was obvious before crouching down next to her and putting his arms around her, pulling her close, while Ruby went up and hugged her as well, both being silent and simply letting her know they were there.

"...I don't know what to think anymore…" Yang finally said. "I don't know...if I can even use this Crest or if its even right for me…"

"You shouldn't say that Yang." Pierce started "I know it's a lot of pressure, trust me, we're all feeling it, but I doubt that whoever's in charge would make a mistake on that. He's been right 9 times so far, I think that's reason enough to believe you're definitely the right person to have the Crest of Love."

"But what the heck do I even know about love?!" Yang shouted. "My own mother left me, and now I find out she doesn't really care. Maybe she never did care. How the heck am I supposed to feel or show love in the face of that?!"

"She's not your mom though!" Ruby exclaimed as she pulled away slightly from her sister, the blonde looking at her "That woman didn't raise you at all. My own mom did, so if anything, SHE's your mom! And don't you ever dare say you've never showed love, because not only have I seen the way you two act when you think no one's looking, but you've always been the best big sis a girl could ask for."

"Ruby…" Yang said softly, thinking about what she just said. Didn't she herself just say that Raven Branwen wasn't her mom and that she didn't want anything to do with her? And honestly, now that she'd stopped to think…

However, before she could finish THAT train of though, the sound of heavy wingbeats filled the air...and a rather mad/sinister cackling.

"What the…?!" Veemon started, all of them looking upward to see what appeared to be a Devidramon...pulling a carriage with what appeared to be a Bakemon...wearing an oversized witch's hat if the fact it was covering its eyes was any indication, holding the reins flying overhead. From the back of the carriage, something was dropped out, while coming up behind the carriage was…

"...its a flying broomstick…" was the blank observation that came from everyone in the clearing. However, that soon became the least of their worries as suddenly a flash of light occurred...and a massive field appeared around the area they were in. A barrier. They were boxed in with only themselves, and the object that was still fast descending, but now they could see what it was clearly.

"Is that a...coffin?" Yang blinked in surprise.

"Yes...I...think it is…" Ruby said, equally surprised. That surprise grew when the coffin burst open mid-fall, revealing a figure wrapped in a cloak which suddenly slowed its descent before landing softly on the ground.

The cloak unfurled itself mere moments later, revealing a being wearing a regal dark blue outfit with gold highlights, a golden bat ornament holding the cloak in place around their neck. Their skin was deathly pale, their blonde hair slicked back, and they sported a red mask with bat wings over their eyes.

"Who the hell are you supposed to be?" Pierce said as he stood up straight, glaring at the being, getting nothing but bad vibes from him.

"Hold your tongue!" DemiDevimon shouted as he flew down, keeping a respectable distance behind the being "This is the great Lord Myotismon! You should be begging for forgiveness by simply being in his presence!"

"So, that's his boss huh?" Yang murmured nervously.

"Myotismon… about time we were able to put a face to the name." Pierce said with a frown.

"Yes, you lot have been rather annoying these last few days, haven't you?" Myotismon said, exuding an air of total confidence.

Digimon Analyzer: Myotismon

Myotismon. Virus Type. A Perfect Level Undead Digimon. A powerful viral Digimon, capable of infecting and controlling computers, and reviving any data he destroys as a virus. He is a cunning Digimon, and very powerful, always planning his every move before acting, but only goes out at night, as his power is cut down in the day. His special attacks are Night Raid, releasing a swarm of bats upon his enemies, and Bloody Stream, using a stream of blood like a whip.

"Let me guess then, seeing as you're here, it means you probably got tired of us 'being in the way'," Pierce frowned, the three of them fingering their D-Cores. "And naturally the barrier is so we can't run and our friends can't help, and seeing as you targeted us...you're no doubt wanting to stop our last Crest from awakening. Sound about right?"

Myotismon actually chuckled, clapping his hands a little. "Bravo, you've said my plan exactly. I must admit, I can see why DemiDevimon utterly failed to stop all of you. It's almost a shame I'm about to kill all of you, my army could always use soldiers with actual brains in them," he smirked, while DemiDevimon sweatdropped at the indirect jab.

"Heh, an actually smart and classy villain, huh? Gotta say, that's actually pretty refreshing. But enough with the pleasantries. We all know how this is gonna go, so bring it Dracula!" Pierce said. "Let's go, everyone!"

"Right!" came the replies from the rest of them.

"Biyomon, Evolution! Birdramon!"

"Veemon, Evolution! Veedramon! Veedramon, Super Evolution! AeroVeedramon!"

"Palmon, Evolution! Togemon! Togemon, Super Evolution! Lillymon!"

"Give us your best shot!" Ruby challenged.

"I think I shall!" Myotismon smirked as his cape wrapped around him again. "Night Raid!" he called out as he released a swarm of bats at them.

"Uh..how are bats supposed to hurt us?" Yang couldn't help but ask, but Pierce shot a net at them...only for them to catch it...and eat it… "Oh…"

"...FLYING PIRANHA SWARM!" Pierce shouted, to which they all started opening fire on the swarm to kill as many as fast as possible.

"Where the heck does he get so many?!" AeroVeedramon growled as he used Dragon Impulse on a portion of the swarm.

"No idea, not really caring right now!" Birdramon shot back as she burned a section of the swarm down. Eventually they managed to get them all, but just as they were done…

"Bloody Stream!" came Myotismon's voice as they were suddenly struck with a red whip of energy, causing them all to stumble back.

"Hey, no consecutive attacks!" Yang barked as she and Ruby opened fire...only for their bullets to stop cold before they even reached Myotismon's cape, and promptly dissolving into data.

"...we...might be in trouble..." Ruby gulped.

"Calling for backup!" Pierce nodded, calling Gyro.

"Hello? Pierce? Please tell me you guys aren't in trouble," Gyro said.

"Uh...we are. Why?"

"Cause we got our handsful with these two over here. Between the living mammoth and the stink pile, we can't get there easily!" Gyro shot back. "Whoah!" he suddenly said, as a loud thud was heard through the phone. "We'll get there as soon as we can, but you guys need to hold out till we do! Good timing though, at least now we know NOT to all go Perfect so we got some fighters available for later!" Gyro said quickly before ending the call.

"...clever bastard…" was all Pierce could say in begrudging respect.

"I do try my best." Myotismon said with a laugh "And even when your friends DO finish off Mammothmon and Raremon, they'll still have the barrier to deal with, and I know for a fact my soldier is good at making them."

"Okay...guess we ARE in trouble. Now what?" Yang asked.

"Keep fighting and don't die?" Ruby offered.

"...I like that plan," Pierce nodded. "Okay everyone, looks like we'll have to play defensive for now! Buy as much time as we can before the others arrive!"

"Right!" the Digimon all nodded, before approaching their partners. They couldn't attack carelessly now it seemed.

"Plan all you'd like, I don't intend to leave here empty handed! Bloody Stream!" Myotismon smirked before lashing out again, the deceptively powerful move knocking the Digimon aside again.

"Ok, kind of annoying that even though we have two Perfects, he can kick them around like it's nothing." Ruby said as she tried shooting him, only for Myotismon to catch the bullets this time instead of block them.

"Oh great, now he's taunting us." Pierce murmured with a groan.

Yang opted to stay quiet despite the frown on her face, the one thing she wanted to say would be taunting Murphy, and they didn't need that right now. The fight kept going on, but it was clear that things weren't going well for them Despite being 3 on 1, Myotismon showed why he was the boss of the Digimon they'd fought before. He was ridiculously powerful, fending them off with little issue, blocking their attacks, and generally not looking like he was really having much of a challenge.

"He's...tough…!" Lillymon panted.

"He's way stronger than anything else we've fought…" AeroVeedramon groaned.

"About time you realized how outclassed you are," Myotismon smirked. "Night Raid!" he called out, hitting them with the swarm of bats, causing massive damage and forcing them both to revert back to their Baby Forms.

"DemiVeemon!" Pierce shouted in worry as he grabbed his falling partner, Ruby doing the same for Tanemon.

"Are you ok?" the reaper asked her partner with a worried frown.

"I don't know." Tanemon muttered lowly, tired from the beating she just took.

Birdramon looked down at the others, worried, before looking towards Myotismon "I'm the only one left." she murmured, before diving towards the vampiric Digimon, hoping to stall for time.

"Everything you attempt is useless." Myotismon said darkly "Bloody Stream!" and threw his whip towards Birdramon, striking her right in the chest and sending her flying back, skidding onto the ground.

"Birdamon!" Yang shouted as she ran towards her partner, checking her over "You're in bad shape." she said, her worry increasing as they were running out of options.

"Not… important…" Birdamon groaned as she tried to hoist herself up.

"Stay down! You're too hurt to keep fighting!" Yang said, tears at her eyes as she tried to keep her partner down.

"And if I don't fight… then he's going to hurt you! And I don't want that!" Birdramon told her.

"And I don't want YOU to be hurt either!" Yang shot back, her crest glowing softly.

"Yang, I-!"

"No, I'm not letting you get hurt for me again, I don't want to see that happen again, not to you, not to anyone I care about!" Yang cut her off. "If you're going to fight him, then I'm going with you!"

"Feel free to, it won't make a difference," Myotismon chuckled in amusement, not noticing the glow.

Birdramon and Yang didn't hear him. Eventually Birdramon nodded. "Alright," she nodded, as Yang got on her back and she took to the sky.

"Yang?" Ruby said in confusion as she saw her sister go up in the sky with Birdramon.

"Something tells me we're about to do a turnabout." Pierce murmured.

"I won't run from it anymore!" Yang shouted from Birdramon's back "What's in the past is going to stay there, and I'll look forward with those I care about instead!" she said, as the glow from her Crest was growing, enough to finally be noticeable.

"No… no!" Myotismon shouted in rage as he saw the final Crest finally reach its peak. "I won't let you! Night Raid!" he shouted, firing his attack but...too late.

(Play Brave Heart)

Yang's D-Core vibrated, before turning red with yellow buttons. The beam of light shot out of it, going into the Tag, and releasing the Crest. The Crest of Love flew into the air, dispersing the clouds as it gathered energy in its ascent, before reaching its peak and releasing a burst of energy, which sent down the beam of light to Birdramon below. "Birdramon, Super Evolution!" Her body was covered in flames for a few moments, before hew new form slowly emerged from within, first her head, still avian, but it had a native american feel to it, sporting long blonde hair coming out the the back of the helmet that covered the top of her head, with two braids of hair falling to either side of her head as white feathers covered her neck down to her chest. Arms emerged from within the flames, with hands in the shape of her previous form's feet, looking like three fingers with two thumbs on either side of her hands now. Her feet now only had the normal four talons of a bird foot. The biggest change was obvious as her body left the flames, as she was now humanoid in stature, sporting soft red feathers on her chest and arms, and darker red feathers on her legs as a bandana was tied around her left bicep, her large wings spreading open, sporting red feathers tipped in yellow "Garudamon!"

The flames enveloped the sky, burning every last bat to ashes in an instant. "No! I was so close!" Myotismon shouted as he had to hide himself with his cloak from how bright the flames were.

"Woah… you look awesome now… Garudamon, right?" Yang said, smiling up at her partner as she was in her hands.

Garudamon nodded "Yes, thank you Yang, it's thanks to your love I was able to evolve."

Digimon Analyzer: Garudamon

Garudamon. Vaccine Type. A Perfect Level Bird Man Digimon. A Digimon who honors justice and order, she is said to be a guardian of the land and skies. It is said that when the Digital World falls into disorder, Garudamon will appear and quell the source of unrest. Her special attacks are Shadow Wing, firing an energy blast in the form of a firebird from her body, and Fire Hurricane, spinning on herself to create a tornado of flames.

"Aw come on, don't say it like that, it's so cheesy." Yang said, blushing a bit in embarrassment. "But enough of that, ready for some payback, partner?"

"You know it," Garudamon nodded, before they turned to Myotismon.

"You may have evolved, but you're still no match for me!" Myotismon growled.

"Maybe, but what about ALL of us?" Yang smirked.

"What?" Myotismon gasped.

"Giga Destroyer!"

"Horn Buster!"

The two voices rang out, before the barrier was under heavy assault from the two heavy hitting Digimon.

"Let's see what happens first. Can you beat us, or will our friends break through first," Garudamon said.

"Don't get conceited! Bloody Stream!" Myotismon growled, but Garudamon's speed had increased dramatically, allowing her to evade the attacks.

"In that case, Night Raid!" Myotismon followed up.

"Fire Hurricane!" Garudamon countered, burning all the bats down, and forcing Myotismon to evade, but Garudamon didn't let him rest. "Shadow Wing!" she followed up, firing her next attack right in the way he was jumping, hitting him and pushing him back.

Myotismon grunted as he skidded across the ground. However, before he could begin to counter attack, cracks were now spreading through the barrier, meaning it would fall soon. He glared at the group...before making his decision. "You got lucky this time," he growled, before he seemed to sink into the shadows, vanishing from their sight.

(Song End)

Despite the battle being over, Garudamon stayed in her current form, on her guard, even as MetalGreymon and AtlurKabuterimon broke the barrier and flew to her side, carrying everyone else on their backs, though Gyro opted to stand on one of his partner's horns.

"Guess we missed the party." Gyro said, grinning when he saw Garudamon, easily guessing she was Birdramon's evolution considering how she was carrying Yang.

"Let's not stay here in case they decide on an encore though." Weiss suggested from her spot on AtlurKabuterimon's back.

"Right." Garudamon nodded, before crouching down and bringing her hands to the ground "Get on." she said quickly, Ruby and Pierce complying as they got into her hands while still holding their partners, before the trio of Perfect Levels took off into the sky, intent on getting as far away from possible.

Eventually, they reached an area beyond some distant mountains, with Garudamon and AtlurKabuterimon reverting to Yokomon and Motimon, while MetalGreymon reverted to, surprisingly, Agumon.

"Finally! I got the hang of it!" he cheered, glad he wouldn't revert to Koromon anymore.

"Glad to hear that," Gyro chuckled in amusement at his partner's reaction.

However, at that moment, despite the moon being out, the skies darkened for a moment, as they heard Myotismon's voice echo out "You may have defeated me now, but it matters not, my throne lies elsewhere."

"I don't like the sound of that." Nora said with a frown.

"Neither do I, but that's why we'll put a stop to whatever he's planning." Gyro said… before yawning "After we finally get some sleep though."

"Hey… has anyone seen Yang and Pierce? They were here a minute ago." Yokomon said in confusion as she looked around.

Gyro blinked at the question, before looking around, seeing the couple was indeed missing, before looking to Blake "Hear anything?"

Blake glanced at him, before her cat ears perked up turned ever so slightly towards a direction hidden beyond the trees… and she blushed "Well… heavy makeout session, but I think we shouldn't disturb them for the next… several hours."

Everyone blinked at that, before most of the hunters got the message as they too blushed… except for Ruby, who was confused, and the Digimon, who didn't get it at all.

"Are you sure about this?" Pierce asked, breaking the deep kiss they had been in, Yang pressed against a tree.

"I've thought about it a lot...and yeah, I want this," she smiled seductively at him.

"Alright then," Pierce smiled gently as they resumed their kiss, and it wasn't long before they were on the ground, neither of them noticing Yang's tag which had fallen out of her clothes to the side a little, the Crest glowing warmly and brightly.

And there!

We finally have all 10 Perfects.

As for Yang and Pierce, if you didn't get it, let me put it bluntly.

Bow chika bow wow.

Other important thing, Agumon finally mastered the art of the Perfect Level, so no more turning back into Koromon for him... at least until he gets the Ultimate Level.

Anyway, hope you enjoyed, because...

The Adventure Evolves.
