CHAPTER 54
Land of Titans
Distant Galaxy: Planet Endor
In a galaxy far away which basically is another world. In a planet with a forest, there is a band of green ruthless creatures called Duloks and they are being led by one who is bigger than the other Duloks, he has orange shoulders and an eyepatch in the left eye, but he was sat in his throne lazily.
"I'm always surrounded by dimwits…" The green creature said.
Then the Saurian Spaceship arrives before landing in front of him and the other Duloks who run away cowardly.
"Come back here, you cowards!" The green creature demanded.
From the spaceship came out Lord Dragaunus, Wraith, Siege, Chameleon, Emperor Zurg, Vilgax and Skeleton King.
"Who are you all!?" The green creature demanded.
"We're not enemies, we're searching for new allies." Wraith said.
"So, what's your name?" Skeleton King asked.
"I'm the King Gorneesh." King Gorneesh introduced himself and after the introductions, Chameleon whispers in the king's ear. "Are you saying that there are more worlds beyond this one? Well, I've never been beyond the Ewok planet, but whatever you're doing, I'll help you."
"Be careful with the Digidestined, despite their young ages they're very strong." Emperor Zurg warned King Gorneesh.
"Hear me, Duloks! We will leave this planet to help the Brotherhood of Evil to rule more worlds apart from this one!" King Gorneesh said.
Now a barbaric king from a distant galaxy joined the Brotherhood of Evil.
Edoropolis: The Big Cheese's Palace
In a Japanese-styled castle, in the throne room there is an anthropomorphic rat wearing a purple outfit with a red-pink haori with detached sleeves.
"How will I get rid of those three furballs? There must be a way!" The rat said.
Just then a smoke bomb appears in front of him.
"Prepare for trouble!" Jessie's voice said.
"But don't be afraid!" James' voice said.
"To recruit new allies in our team!"
"To make the strength in numbers!"
"To denounce the evils of teamwork!"
"And to express our wishes and goals!"
"Jessie…!"
"James…!"
"Team Rocket, blasting off across the worlds…" Jessie said.
"And we came in peace to this world." James said.
"Meowth, that's right!" Meowth said with Wobuffet, Chimecho and Mime Jr.
Harley and Cacturne were also there too.
"The motto was very interesting." The rat said clapping slowly. "Your name is Team Rocket, right? I'm Seymour Big Cheese, but you can call me Seymour Cheese for short. And what about that one with the green spiky plant?"
"I'm Harley and he is Cacturne." Harley introduced himself and his Pokémon.
"So, what was the meaning or your motto?" Seymour Cheese asked and they explained the goal of the Brotherhood of Evil. "Oh, very interesting. I will gladly help you, after all I was already tired of failures."
Seymour Cheese now joined the Brotherhood of Evil.
F-Zero World: Dark Star Remains'
In the badlands of F-Zero World, Maleficent, Grogar, Tirek, Cozy Glow, King Sombra, Baron Praxis, Dickson, Grandmaster Meio, Father, Seven Deadly Sins, Emperor Belos and Lilith appeared in the remains of Dark Star which was destroyed previously.
"I can feel someone who fought against a hero of pure heart." Grogar said.
"Who fought in this land?" Emperor Belos asked.
"Well, maybe we could bring him back to life." Maleficent said.
Then Maleficent and Grogar casted their magic which brought back Black Shadow to life.
"Phew…" Black Shadow said before cracking his back. "How long was I asleep?"
"Much time indeed." Grandmaster Meio said.
"Am I dreaming? Or why am I seeing more people which also include a centaur, a plushie pony and a dark horse?" Black Shadow asked.
"I'm a unicorn for your information." King Sombra corrected Black Shadow. "King Sombra to be exact."
"One of your allies told much about you and your defeat against the boy with the Keyblade and those children called Digidestined." Maleficent said.
"One of my allies? Oh, so you meet Bowser too." Black Shadow said.
Later Maleficent explained everything to Black Shadow.
"It seems that a lot has happened in my absence. Even if the Dark Star along with the Dark Matter Reactor were destroyed, that won't stop me from my plans for revenge." Black Shadow said.
An old villain who was defeated in the past now is back for revenge.
Alrest: Gormotti's Forest
May with his little brother Max, Bianca, Lita, Marcus with Agumon and Kabal arrived in a forest.
"I have never been in this world before." May said watching her surroundings.
"We should explore the place but without separating." Marcus said.
"I agree with Marcus, we don't know yet if the enemy could be here." Lita said.
They explore the forest until Water and Earth Cores Heartless along with Corrupts Mushroomon and a group of snail-like Digimon called ShellNumemon.
*BATTLE THEME (XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2)*
"Those Digimon are Numemon with shells?" Marcus asked.
"Almost, boss. But they're ShellNumemon." Agumon said.
Lita transformed to Sailor Jupiter.
"Go Blaziken!" May said calling her Pokémon while summoning her Keyblade.
"It's your turn, Emboar!" Bianca said calling her Pokémon.
"You too, Zigzagoon!" Max said calling his Pokémon.
May attacks by casting Firaga, Blaziken attacks by using Fire Spin, Emboar attacks by using Flamethrower, Zigzagoon attacks by using Pin Missile, Agumon uses Pepper Breath, Sailor Jupiter uses Sparkling Wide Pressure and Kabal fired purple energy blades and they defeated all the enemies.
"That was very easy." Kabal said.
Just then a giant toad-like creature appeared in front of them.
"What is that thing!?" Bianca asked.
"Looks like a giant toad!" Marcus said.
Before the giant toad known as Wormeater Brog was approaching the group until a stone dragon-like creature with yellow eyes landed and from the creature it came out a boy with slightly spiky brown hair and he is wearing a blue bodysuit, blue boots and brown gloves, and he wields a red sword with a green jewel, but the boy is in the company of more people, a young and white-haired girl wearing a yellow jumpsuit, a white tiger wearing some armor and has a glowing gem in his chest, a girl with red and short hair and red eyes, her clothing were equally red with bits of armor, thigh-high boots, very short shorts, short gloves, a top that exemplify her notable assets, and a neck guard that's covered by her hands, green gems adorning her boots, gloves, and hair, and she even had earrings made of the same green gems, an orange furry egg-like creature wearing mechanic clothes and a purple-haired robot girl.
"Need a hand?" The boy with the blue jumpsuit asked (his voice sounds similar to the one of Caleb). "The name's Rex, she is my Blade, Pyra, and they're Nia, Dromarch, Tora and Poppi."
"Well, now are we going to defeat the giant toad?" Max asked.
"The Wormeater Brog is weak against the fire element attacks." Pyra said.
"Lucky me, I chose the correct Pokémon for the battle." Bianca said excitedly.
"Me too." May said.
The Wormeater Brog jumps towards the group but they dodged the attack. A string-like energy was passing between Pyra with Rex, Poppi with Tora and Dromarch with Nia.
"Blaziken, use Blaze Kick!" May commanded.
"Emboar, use Fire Punch!" Bianca commanded.
Blaziken attacks with his right leg covered in flames while Emboar right fist's covered in flames with both Pokémon hitting the Wormeater Brog, Dromarch uses Wild Roar which he attacks with a wild roar while Nia uses her ring-blades to spin slash the giant toad, Tora attacks by swinging his two Shield Drills, Zigzagoon uses Swift, Rex realizes Sword Bash which swinging his sword hitting the giant and followed by using Double Spinning Edge which he performed two spin attacks before ending with an up-down slash against the Wormeater Brug, Kabal dashes quickly while slashing with the giant toad with his hookswords, Sailor Jupiter uses Jupiter Oak Evolution and Agumon uses Spitfire Blast which finishes off the Wormeater Brog.
*ENDS*
After defeating the enemies, Blaziken and Emoboar were called back to their Pokéballs, the group introduced themselves to the newcomers, even the stone dragon who is called Azurda.
"So why are you guys even… Well, I guess that's a stupid question." Nia said.
"Indeed." Dromarch said.
"We just got here today." Max said.
"It's true." Zigzagoon added.
"By the way, what kind of drivers are you?" Nia asked May, Bianca, Max and Marcus.
"Driver?" May repeats confused.
"We're Pokémon Trainers." Bianca corrected.
"I work with DATS and Agumon is my partner Digimon." Marcus said.
"But what about Azurda, is he a Digimon?" Agumon asked.
"What are you all talking about?" Rex asked. "It's as if you've never seen a Titan before."
"I thought the titans were mythological beings, no offense." Kabal said.
"None taken." Azurda said.
"This is odd. How could there be anyone in Alrest who doesn't know what Titans are?"
"Alrest, that's the name of the world we're in." Max said.
"Whole different worlds, huh... I can't even begin to think about it..."
"And the creatures you call 'Pokémon' and 'Digimon'... To think they could be so drastically different from the wildlife on Alrest." Dromarch added.
"I'm a bit curious about Alrest." Max said.
"It's a world overrun by a sea of clouds where titans live. Each Titan hosts its own distinct civilizations, cultures, wildlife, and environments." Rex explained.
"That sounds like Eldradimon." Marcus said.
"What is Eldradimon?" Tora asked.
"Not what, it's who, it was a Digimon that carried the Sacred City of the Digital World on his back." Marcus explained.
"I think we should explain why we're here." May said changing the subject.
Then they explained about the Brotherhood of Evil, a group of villains led by Bowser and they're trying to take over the entire universe.
"Looks like the evil doesn't know their limits." Pyra said.
"It's true, in that case we're going to help you guys." Rex said.
"Tora will help new friends too." Tora said.
Then Rex and the other newcomers joined the group before going to the next zone.
Torigoth
The team arrived in a town where feline-like people were doing their business, the group was walking while Rex's group explained their travel to the Elysium.
"The Elysium?" May asked.
"Yes, it's a paradise which is located on top of the World Tree in the center of Alrest." Pyra explained.
"However, Malos and Jin didn't allow her to arrive." Rex added.
"Who were Malos and Jin?" Bianca asked.
"They were members of Torna who tried to kill the architect and use the Artifice Aion to destroy humanity." Rex explained.
"I assure you that they won't cause us troubles." Dromarch said.
They continued walking until they heard someone fighting with spin attacks and acid spreading sounds too.
"Boss, I heard someone fighting there." Agumon said.
*BATTLE THEME (XENOBLADE CHRONICLES 2)*
They went to the sound of the battle and they saw a pink girl almost looking like a human slug and she was wearing a dark blue shirt, shorts and shoes of the same color like her shirt and a yellow star creature but very different to Twink, both were fighting against Darkball, High Soldier and Air Soldiers Heartless along with Corrupts Flymon, Woodmon and Kokatorimon.
"There are too many of them!" The star creature said.
"I never faced those monsters before but I'll do my best to defeat them!" The pink girl said.
"Supreme Thunder Dragon!" Sailor Jupiter said using her attack which destroyed a Corrupt Woodmon.
"Wow! I have never seen you before!" The pink girl says excitedly seeing Sailor Jupiter. "Are you a new heroine?"
"Yeah, I'm a heroine where I come from." Sailor Jupiter said while the others appeared with her.
"Minccino, it's your turn!" Bianca said calling her Pokémon.
"Skitty, you too!" May said calling her Pokémon.
"I wish I could have other Pokémon too." Max said.
"How did you three do that?" The pink girl asked.
"It's a long story." May answered.
"Back our old enemy, Kokatorimon." Marcus said.
Just when a Kokatorimon tries to attack Marcus acts quickly and punches the bird-like Digimon and unleashes the DNA particles.
"Whoa! He punched that giant bird!" The star creature said.
"Get ready Agumon!" Marcus said.
"Yes boss!" Agumon nodded.
"DNA… Charge!" Marcus said using the DNA charge through his Digivice.
Agumon Digivolve to… GeoGreymon!
"I have never seen that quirk before!" The pink girl says amazed.
"Now it's my turn to fight, sit back and leave it to me, Rex." Pyra said before taking the sword.
She jumps before performing an upside down outward slash with the Aegis Sword ablaze, she follows with an outward slash and a lunging, upward slash.
"Smash Flare!" She said performing a lunging, two-handed downward slash while creating a fiery explosion when it hit the ground.
More enemies tried to surround her.
"Flame Nova!" She attacks by telekinetically spinning the Aegis Sword ablaze around herself to draw the enemies hitting repeatedly and concludes with a powerful burst of fire.
"Whoa!" May and Bianca were amazed.
"Prominence Revolt!" Pyra said before jumping while performing an uppercutting slash with the Aegis Sword set ablaze, followed by a downwards stab while falling, creating a pillar of fire.
A Corrupt Flymon tried to attack with the Brown String.
"Blazing End!" Pyra telekinetically throws the Aegis Sword set ablaze in front of her, which spins horizontally and hits the Corrupt Flymon.
Then the others joined to the battle, Minccino uses Hyper Voice and follows by using Swift, Skitty uses Assist which acts as Fire Spin, Zigzagoon uses Tail Slap and follows by using Headbutt, Tora summons a drill from his shield to attack the enemies, GeoGreymon and Sailor Jupiter combined Mega Shot and Sparkling Wide Pressure to hit the enemies, Kabal attacks by passing through the enemies causing them to spin quickly before ending dizzy and stabs both hookswords before slamming one enemy against the others, Dromarch uses Raging Tiger which he attacks with his claws like a wild tiger, the star creature performs a wheel attack which he attacks cartwheeling across the ground to hit the enemies and the pink girl attacks by releasing acid from her hands to hit enemies and finishes by performing a horizontal spin attack with acid and firing a blast of acid.
*ENDS*
After defeating the enemies, GeoGreymon reverted back to Agumon, Sailor Jupiter reverted back to her regular form, Skitty and Minccino were called back to their Pokéballs.
"That was very easy." The pink girl said.
"Can you tell us your name?" Lita asked her.
"I'm Mina Ashido." The girl called Mina Ashido introduced herself.
The group meets another girl with the same name but different surname.
"One of our friends is called Mina too." Lita said.
"I'm the Prince Starfy, but you can call me Starfy." The star creature called Starfy introduced himself.
After the introductions, then Bianca gets a better look at Starfy.
"Oh he's such a cutie! I have never seen a Pokémon like this before and he talks too!" Bianca squealed.
"Uh…" Starfy tried to explain.
"It doesn't matter, because I'm catching you now!" Bianca said.
Then she throws the Pokéball at Starfy but it just bounced off of the top of Starfy's head like a bouncy ball. The group sweat dropped in reaction.
"Bianca, I don't think Starfy it's a Pokémon because I have never seen it before." Max explained.
"Oh, sorry, your majesty." Bianca apologized while bowing to Starfy.
"Don't worry, also you don't have to be formal." Starfy said.
"Do you know how you two ended here?" Rex asked the two newcomers.
"A weird portal appeared from nowhere and brought me here. It happened a few days ago when the League of Villains attacked the Training Camp." Ashido explained.
"The same thing happened to me, I'm talking about the weird portal who came from nowhere and brought me here." Starfy explained.
"This situation seems quite similar." Marcus said.
"What do you mean, Marcus?" Lita asked.
"Years before joining DATS, multiple portals were appearing in Japan and many people were disappearing, but all of them were brought to the Digital World which also included Keenan when he was a baby." Marcus explained.
The members who met Keenan now understood his way of speaking.
"I'm trying to wonder what kind of quirks you guys used?" Ashido asked.
"Quirks?" Nia repeated in confusion.
"What is a quirk?" Dromarch asked.
"The quirk is a superhuman ability is a superhuman ability that a person can possess." Ashido explained.
"I never heard about the quirk before. But I'm a Driver while Pyra is my Blade." Rex said.
"What is a Driver and a Blade?" Ashido asked.
"Here in Alrest the Ardainian Empire recruit Drivers." Nia said.
"Only the qualified ones are chosen to be Drivers, but those who are unqualified are done for after touching the Core Crystal, it's truly lamentable." Dromarch explained.
"Wait, you need qualification to even touch a Core Crystal from this world?" Max asked.
"It could be called aptitude too." Rex said.
"That makes more sense." Max said.
"Well, how do you call those creatures called Pokémon?" Mina said.
"With this." May said showing a Pokéball and explained. "It's called a Pokéball and can transport your Pokémon inside of it."
"Also there are many types of Pokémon, Zigzagoon is a normal type Pokémon. The other types are Electric, Fire, Water, Grass, Ground, Poison, Bug, Flying, Rock, Ice, Psychic, Fighting, Ghost, Dragon, Steel, Dark and Fairy." Max added.
"Whoa…! I guess the Pokémon are very special creatures." Ashido said.
"Well, the Digimon are special too. We can Digivolve." Agumon said.
"Digivolve? Is that the same action you did before to defeat the bad monsters?" Starfy asked.
"That's right." Agumon said.
Marcus has his right hand below his chin.
"What are you thinking?" Lita asked him.
"I'm wondering that there may be more people from other worlds who have ended up in Alrest." Marcus said.
"You're right, Ami ended up separated from us when that portal appeared, also she told us that she was injured against a member from Team Rocket." Lita said.
"I'll suggest exploring more places of this world and also we'll recruit new allies." Marcus said.
"Boss, but how will we travel?" Agumon asked.
"Gramps can transport us all." Rex said.
They nodded before going to ride above Azurda.
Cloud Sea
The Titan was soaring above the sea of clouds which is like traveling across the oceans.
"What do you mean about others Pokémon, Max?" Zigzagoon asked him.
"Before meeting you, Zigzagoon. I met others Pokémon when I was traveling with Ash, Brock and my sister. I met a Poochyena who I helped him to learn using a Bite and evolved into Mightyena. Also I met a Ralts who was sick, we brought him to the Pokémon Center, I promised to Gardevoir and Kirlia that I would return Ralts after healing him and before saying goodbye, I promised him that we would meet again. We meet a group of Trapinch and Vibrava, one Trapinch finds a lake which is a secret for them to evolve peacefully. A group of Shroomish lived in an ancient mansion from Rinshin Town and I befriended one of them. And last I befriended a Shuppet in another mansion." Max explained about the wild Pokémon he befriended them previously.
"Whoa! It's amazing." Zigzagoon said.
"I can't stop wondering where they are?" Max asked himself.
Aether Kingdom: Desert
Back with the group led by "The Foundation", the Pokémon mentioned by Max started to wonder about their human friend.
"I can't stop wondering about Max, thanks to him I was able to learn using Bite and evolving into Mightyena." Mightyena said.
"I met Max too. He promised me that we would see each other again." Ralts said.
"I met Max too, I befriended him in the Shroomish Mansion before evolving to Breloom." Breloom said.
"Me too, but I was in a different mansion." Shuppet said.
"Now you're mentioning Max, I met him along with other Pokémon Trainers, including a boy with a Pikachu." Flygon said.
They kept walking.
"Be careful where you walk, I already sprained an ankle in a camp." The Foundation said.
They kept walking until they found a pedestal with morse code writing.
"What is this?" Kaminari asked.
"It's a pedestal with morse code writing." The Foundation said.
"Really?" Pab asked.
"What does it say?" Peb added.
The Foundation read the morse code writing, it took some time to decipher the message, later Phineas pulled out a cellphone to take a photo of the message in morse code.
"What does the message say?" Aang asked.
"Twelve hearts of the seekers of darkness and a single heart of pure light will form the legendary weapon." The Foundation said.
"Thanks for deciphering the message." Candance said.
"You're welcome." The Foundation said.
They kept walking across the desert but without separating.
Alrest: Titan Uraya
Back with Marcus' group, Azurda was flying above a whale-like titan.
"Is that another Titan?" May asked.
"Yes, it's Uraya." Rex answered to him.
"Is even bigger than Wailord…!" Max says amazed.
Then Azurda went above the whale-like titan to land there.
Kingdom of Uraya: Olethro Ruins
The group are now in ruins of the whale-like titan and went across the ruins until they arrived at the top and they saw a stone.
"Why is there a stone?" Starfy asked.
"Vandham…" Rex replied with a sigh of depression. "He was a good friend who sacrificed his life to allow Pyra to arrive at Elysium."
Flashback (during the events of Xenoblade Chronicles 2)
He remembered a man of brown skin and white hair wearing an armor and has a bird-like creature as his Blade and they landed to confront a black-haired man wearing a black armor in the company of a lizard-like creature, a black-haired young man with lenses and wearing blue armor and has winged creature as his Blade, apparently the man in black armor was surpassing them in power.
"Why won't you guys leave Pyra alone?" Rex asked.
"Isn't it obvious? We want the power of the Aegis for ourselves!" The young man in blue armor answered before slashing him but Rex blocked it. "It's Jin's desire to erase all of humankind from the world!"
"What!?" Nia exclaimed in shock.
Then she fights against the young man in blue armor while Pyra created a light barrier but the man in black armor destroyed it so easily.
"Did Jin seriously say that? Erase all of humankind?" Nia asked.
"My, my. Surely you knew. Better than anyone." The young man in blue armor said and kept fighting against Nia. "You know what humans are really like."
"Uh?" Nia wondered.
Just then, Vandham went to protect Nia.
"Nia! What are you doing?" Vandham asked while the bird-like creature went to fight.
"You've seen the capital. You've seen the ships, weapons, soldiers. All poised to invade Mor Ardain. Doesn't it make you want to laugh?" The young man in blue armor said while Rex was fighting against the man in black armor. "Every corner of the world is defiled by such vermin."
"But that's nothing new. They haven't changed a bit in 500 years! No wonder Father abandoned them! No wonder Father abandoned them!" The man in black armor continued while fighting against Rex and Pyra was blocking the attack from the lizard-like creature and she managed to push him back.
Rex tried to slash the man in black armor but he dodged by jumping backwards. Rex was panting tiredly while Pyra stood in front of him.
"No. The only thing that hasn't changed is you. Father didn't want us to wipe out innocent life!" Pyra said.
"Why did he make us then? Get real! That's what we're for. To descend on the world and eliminate these pests!" The man in black armor said trying to convince her that she was made for destruction.
Just then a dark energy engulfs the man in black armor.
"What!? Is that power coming from his Blade?" Vandham asked.
"It's too…" Nia said.
"Playtime's over. Let's end it! Akhos!" The man in black armor said to the young man in blue armor called Akhos.
"Agreed!" Akhos said.
Both prepared their swords, then the man in black armor charged towards Rex and Pyra who created another light barrier but unfortunately it was broken by the man in black armor and pushed back the duo crashing against the wall, then Poppi uses the propulses herself with her rocket boots while bringing Tora using his drill trying to attack the man but the lizard-like creature blocked the attack and pushes them back.
"Poppi!" Tora said with concern, seeing Poppi unconscious.
The winged creature laughed before attacking the bird-like creature while Akhos was facing Nia.
"How very noble! Next!" Akhos said sadistically.
He tries to slash Nia but Dromarch jumps to receive the attack while protecting Nia.
"Dromarch!" Nia shouted before turning to Akhos in rage. "Bastards…!"
"Over here!" The winged creature said behind Nia before hitting her.
"Nia! Tora! Damn!" Rex exclaimed before charging towards Akhos and the man in black armor.
"Stop, Rex! It's no good!" Azurda said (in his larva form).
The lizard-like creature appeared in front of Rex and hit him causing Rex to yelp in pain.
"Rex!" Pyra said with concern.
She tried to help him but the man in black armor punched her in the stomach and collapsed to the ground, very cruel and malevolent for a villain.
"Hmph. Hitting girls isn't as much fun…" The man in black armor said enjoying to do that.
"Malos, you're the icon of chivalry." Akhos said.
"M-Malos…" Pyra says weakly.
"You're not getting her!" Vandham said charging towards Malos.
Malos turned to see Vandham and the bird-like creature who attacked by launching a rain of feathers.
"Urgh! An attack from the outside!?" Malos said dodging the rain of feathers.
"Vandham!" Rex said.
"Ah! The lunk is back! But that peashooter won't help you. Even if you hit, it'll barely register." Akhos said recognizing Vandham.
Akhos managed to block every rain which was falling towards him.
"Bloody idiot! Think I don't know that?" Vandham shouted before charging and jumping to land on the floor while wielding two swords. "Are you ready, Rex!? Another lesson for ya! Something else you can do with a Blade!"
Rex was watching and Vandham stabbed his own swords in his body but Rex gasped in shock and Vandham yelped in pain.
"What…? Bastard!" Malos exclaimed in anger.
"He's channeling the energy from his weapon through his body…" Akhos explained.
"Yeah! Nothin' you can do to stop this ether flow. Nothin' at all!" Vandham said before charging towards them with a war cry and launching energy which broke the Akhos' barrier.
Then Malos charged towards him while wielding his swords, the lizard-like creature charged towards Vandham but he was stomped on by the bird-like creature. Nia regains consciousness but she can't do anything because Malos is very powerful for her.
"Vandham!" Rex called him.
"Move it! Take Pyra and scram, kid!" Vandham ordered Rex.
Vandham keeps fighting against Malos while Rex is watching.
"I can't… I can't just leave you here!" Rex said
"Rex! Don't go dyin' on me here! You gotta make it! You gotta get away from here now! Live! Live for her! You gotta make it to Elysium!" Vandham said while still fighting against Malos.
"I won't allow it…" Malos said slashing Vandham and causing him to gasp in pain. "Give it up!"
Vandham tried to release energy but Malos canceled the attack.
"Just go Rex! Remember to fight your war!" Vandham shouted.
After Vandham said his last words, Malos slashed him again and Vandham fell dead to the ground while his swords disappeared.
"Vandham!" Rex shouted in despair.
The bird-like creature was grabbed by the winged creature and disappeared and turned himself into a light blue crystal after Vandham died.
"Oh please. What a cliché." Akhos said mocking Vandham's sacrifice.
Then Rex yelled in anger before charging towards Malos.
"R-Rex!" Pyra said weakly.
"You're gonna pay for this! For Vandham!" Rex yelled trying to avenge Vandham and trying to slash the cold-blooded murderer.
"N-no… We have to go…" Pyra said barely standing up.
"You're a pain in the #$!. Little #$!*!" Malos said having enough with Rex before kicking him away.
Rex yelps in pain before landing painfully in his back.
"Ugh… I can't… do it…!" Rex said trying to get up despite the pain.
"R-Rex!" Nia said watching him.
"Rex-Rex…" Tora said watching him too.
"Can't let you do this…" Rex said.
"So long, kid." Malos said ready to kill Rex.
"Rex!" Pyra yelled as an emerald light engulfed her.
And as a miracle the Pyra went into a transformation.
"What!?" Malos exclaimed watching what was happening.
Just then another person appeared in the place of Pyra, it was a long blonde-haired girl with yellow eyes. She is wearing white dress, a white diadem, white long gloves and white shoes.
"Pyra!?" Rex asked.
Also the Aegis Sword transformed too, now it's a white sword.
"Y-you can't rewrite the act now! It's too late!" Akhos said.
He charged towards the new girl who turned to Akhos.
"Hey, idiot! Look out!" Malos said trying to warn him.
Suddenly a beam of light appeared falling like lightning causing a light explosion which barely struck Akhos who yelped in pain.
"Akhos!" The winged creature said with concern.
Then more beams of light were falling down, Malos and the lizard-like creature managed to dodge and even Akhos barely dodged again while screaming. Also part of the ground collapsed before falling to the sea of clouds.
"You awoke! At last! Mythra!" Malos said with satisfaction.
He jumps trying to slash Rex but he created another barrier and managed to block the attack this time.
"Mythra!? Pyra! You're…" Rex was saying.
"I am not Pyra." Mythra said.
"Huh?" Rex wondered.
"I am Mythra." Mythra introduced herself before explaining her alter ego. "Pyra… She's a different self that I constructed."
"A different self?" Rex asked.
"No time for that!" Mythra said.
"O-OK!" Rex said realizing that there is no time for questions in battle.
Then Rex managed to surpass Malos' attack but dodged in time.
"Now focus! You need to focus! Or I can't transfer my power to you!" Mythra said instructing Rex.
He keeps fighting against Malos and the lizard-like creature.
"No, it can't be! My powers are useless!? Wh-where is that energy coming from?" Akhos exclaimed in disbelief.
"Wake up! She's not drawing from the ether, it's something else!" Malos said.
"Not… ether?" Akhos asked.
"Mythra… Looking good. Things are heating up." Malos said.
Then Malos and Akhos charged towards Rex and Mythra.
"Let's do it!" Mythra said and Rex nodded.
Then she released an energy field.
"What is this?" Rex asked.
"It's called Foresight." Mythra answered.
Both were watching Malos and Akhos moving slowly and seeing the pattern of their movement.
"I don't…" Rex said.
"A prediction of what will happen in the immediate future. Read their movements to find an opening, then counter!" Mythra explained.
"I get it!" Rex said.
Then when the time comes back to normal, Rex manages to dodge Malos' attack and slashes Akhos.
"Gah!" Akhos gasped in pain before saying. "He… How did he dodge that?"
"Who cares how? Just get them!" Malos said rudely.
Then a rain of light beams came down towards the villains, Malos was able to create the barrier but Akhos was unlucky.
"Piece of cake!" Akhos said while Rex was charging towards him.
Akhos created a barrier but Rex jumped above the barrier and he slashed the blue-armored young man.
"Ugh! You little…" Akhos grunted in pain before speaking calmly. "There's no way to break their link. I don't think we're going to beat them."
"This is it… The true power of the Aegis. Takes me back. I've waited so long to see it again. Mythra, welcome back!" Malos said.
They fight against Malos and Akhos, surprisingly surpassing Akhos' power but barely equaling Malos' power and before concluding the battle, Rex and Mythra rose the Aegis Sword.
"Sacred Arrow!" They said and summoned a rain of light beams which hit Malos and Akhos who yelled in pain and the winged creature was suffering a lot of damage.
"Wh-what is this…? Akhos…!" She said before disappearing and turning herself into a light blue crystal but it later became black and inactive.
"Obrona!" Akhos yelled.
After performing the attack, Rex was feeling tired while Akhos collapsed on his knee.
"I don't…" Akhos said.
"Hmph!" Malos grunted before giving orders. "We gotta retreat! Akhos!"
"Obrona…" Akhos said with sorrow.
"No time for that, Akhos!" Malos said.
Malos punched the ground creating a shockwave which forced Rex to cover his eyes but when he saw what happened, Malos and Akhos disappeared.
"Vandham…" Rex said seeing Vandham's corpse, not only was a good friend, he was a teacher-like figure to him.
Then Mythra disappeared and Pyra appeared again but felt exhausted to the ground, Nia went to check Pyra while Rex collapsed on the ground before crying and the flashbacks ended.
Olethro Ruins (back in the present)
After telling the story, May and Bianca were streaming some tears of sorrow.
"Believe me you weren't the only one who saw someone die." Marcus said.
"Really?" Rex asks a bit surprised.
"I met a Xenophobic Scientist called Akihiro Kurata who created a mortal weapon called Gizumon to destroy all the Digimon which also included Frigimon who took care of Keenan when he was a baby. Also Vandham reminded me of BanchoLeomon, he trained us to unleash the Mega level for our Digimon." Marcus explained to him.
"And what happened to the Blade?" Ashido asked.
"When Vandham died, Roc turned into a Core Crystal. Normally when a Driver dies, the Blade turns into a Core Crystal and loses its memories too after being reawakened." Rex explained.
"It's just like the Digimon, where I come from. When we defeat the Digimon they turn into Digi-Eggs and also lose their memories too." Marcus said.
"I didn't know that either." Pyra said.
"Apparently the Blades and the Digimon have one thing in common." Lita said.
Just then a Dimensional Rift appears in front of them.
"Meh-meh?" Tora wondered.
"Masterpon, is something wrong?" Poppi asked.
"Tora see unfamiliar object, right over there…" Tora replied.
"D'you think that's the mysterious portal Mina and Starfy mentioned…?" Rex asked.
"It wasn't here before, that's for sure…" Pyra said.
"No, I imagine I'd have remembered." Nia said.
"But what is it…? Tora-senses are tingling…" Tora said.
"If you're so curious, Tora, why don't you go check it out?" Nia asked.
"Meh-meh!? N-no, Tora believe discretion is better part of valor. Curiosity kill more Nopon than Aligo… Maybe Rex-Rex and Mar-Mercus check?" Tora asked.
"Mar-Marcus?" Marcus asked with an anime sweat drop. "Okay, if you say so."
Pyra then changed places with Mythra. "Just in case."
Just then, Shulk appears from the portal (wearing clothes from Future Connected) in the company of more people, a blonde-haired girl wearing a white and bronze armor, a man with tan skin and semi-long black hair and he is wearing a white dress shirt with cravat, a maroon waistcoat, black trousers, dark brown boots with black soles reaching near his knees, and a black cape worn to cover his injured arm and wields a single sword, and the last is an orange creature similar of Tora but he is wearing a blue jacket and wields a wand.
"You guys again." Shulk said recognizing Rex's group. "Rex, Pyra, Tora, Poppi, Nia, Dromarch."
"Shulk, Fiora." Mythra said.
"I never expected to see you guys again…" Shulk said watching the familiar faces.
"Do you know each other?" Ashido asked.
"It's a long story." Rex said.
"Who is other Popon?" Tora asked.
"I'm Riki." Riki introduced himself.
"Fiora, what happened to you?" Pyra asked her.
"We had a hard-fought battle to save Colony 9 from the Mechon." Fiora answered.
"Despite being a vessel for the Mechonis' soul, she later regained her own personality." Shulk said.
"So, you are Rex and the others that Shulk told me?" The man with semi-long black hair. "My name is Dunban."
After the introductions, they explained everything.
"So, Bowser is back again and now counts with more allies." Shulk said.
"Yeah, that also includes Team Magma and Team Aqua working together." Max added.
"Don't you think the League of Villains are working with Bowser too?" Ashido asked.
"Who knows? But we have to work together." Marcus said.
"Sorry but your path ends here." A mysterious voice said.
"Who is there!? Show yourself!" Marcus demanded.
Dark corridors appeared and from them it came out Xigbar, Larxene, Pajiramon, Vajramon and Gizumon too.
"Oh great, another weird guy with an eyepatch." Nia said sarcastically.
"Boss, it's Gizumon again!" Agumon exclaimed.
"No way!" Marcus said.
"Is that your new team? It's so lame without the somebodies of that witch and the traitorous girl." Larxene said referring to Naminé and Xion.
"She is worse than Harley!" May said summoning her Keyblade and tightening the hold of her weapon.
"May, who are those Digimon?" Bianca asked.
Then both girls pulled out their Pokédex to scan the Digimon.
"Vajramon, a Beast Digimon inspired from the ox. Its attribute is vaccine, and it's in the ultimate level. Its attacks are Terra Blade and Deva Blade." The Pokédex of May said.
"Pajiramon, a Beast Digimon inspired from the sheep. Its attribute is virus, and it's in the ultimate level. Its attacks are Treasure Bow, Vahnijvala and Thunder Stomp." The Pokédex of Bianca said.
"Even if you aren't the Tamers, I will enjoy destroying you." Vajramon said.
"I still have to settle the score with Rapidmon, but I can improve my abilities." Pajiramon said.
"Blaziken, Wartortle, take care of Vajramon!" May said calling them her two Pokémon.
"Emboar, Escavalier, you two can take care of Pajiramon!" Bianca said calling her two Pokémon.
"That must be the non-Digimon creatures." Pajiramon said.
"And they are just as loyal to humans, therefore they must be destroyed." Vajramon said.
Gizumon was analyzing the heroes.
"Assessment: potential threats." Gizumon said in a monotone voice and scanned the heroes. "Goal: Destroy enemies from my new master."
"Listen kid, you know what it is for your own, do not interfere and we will let you live." Xigbar told Rex.
"And why should I listen to you?" Rex asked.
"Don't listen to him, even if he doesn't work with Bowser, the Organization XIII are still the villains." May said.
"Hey, I know you, you're the same girl who appeared in the Organization's castle." Xigbar said recognizing her.
"This time I'll take care of her." Larxene said facing May.
"We'll see about that!" May said glaring at Larxene.
"I'll fight against her too!" Lita said before transforming into Sailor Jupiter.
"I don't know what you are planning to do? But I won't let you hurt my friends!" Shulk said preparing the Monado.
"Normally we should leave this to the professionals." Ashido said.
"What do you mean?" Dunban asked.
"We aren't allowed to fight against villains until we have our hero licenses." Aishido explained.
"Who needs that when now I'm working with DATS? Also, the best fighter in the world never runs away from a fight." Marcus said.
"Whoa… you reminded me a lot of Kirishima…" Ashido said.
"Very well, let's see if you entertain us." Xigbar said preparing his arrowguns while Larxene prepared her knives.
*YOU WILL KNOW OUR NAMES (XENOBLADE CHRONICLES)*
"Now it's showtime!" Shulk said.
"I'll summon some Nobodies." Xigbar said before summoning Dusk Nobodies along with Sniper Nobodies while Larxene summons Ninja Nobodies.
"Speed!" Shulk said and his Monado was glowing in light blue.
His speed is increased and manages to dodge the shots from Xigbar's arrowguns, also Mythra and Rex dodge the enemy shots and Rex pulls out his own sword (the one used against a lobster-like creature called King Crustrip).
"Not bad at all." Xigbar said impressed with the sudden increase of speed in Shulk.
Shulk manages to slash Xigbar with the Monado, followed by Rex slashing the Organization member with his sword, Mythra attacks with an outward slash which was fastest than Pyra's attack and strikes Xigbar, and followed by jumping and performing a delayed upside down outward slash against Xigbar before grabbing him and performing a wheel kick (Back Throw Attack in Smash Ultimate).
"Heads up!" Xigbar said before disappearing and appearing above them before firing shots against the three but they managed to dodge the attacks.
"Jump!" Shulk said and his Monado was glowing in green.
He jumps higher before performing an Air Slash against Xigbar forcing him to land in the ground, Rex followed by performing a Dash Slash.
"Lightning Buster!" Mythra said before raising the Aegis Sword in the air, charging light energy, before unleashing a series of slashes in front of herself, with the last hit launching Xigbar.
He retaliates by firing more shots against Mythra.
"Photon Edge!" She said before charging forward at the speed of light in order to perform a flurry of slashes against Xigbar.
Xigbar disappeared again before appearing behind them, but Shulk foresaw Xigbar's upcoming attack.
"Shield!" Shulk said and his Monado glowed in yellow before activating a barrier of light which protected himself along with Rex and Mythra from Xigbar's shots.
"Ray of Punishment!" Mythra said before jumping while performing an uppercutting slash and then fires blasts of light ether towards the ground that burst on impact against the eye-patched Organization's member. "Chroma Dust!"
Then Xigbar fires shots from his arrowguns to the ground before raising his weapons to shoot at the three.
"Foresight!" Mythra said and performed the same technique that she used against Malos and Akhos before and kicked Xigbar in the gut.
"Buster!" Shulk said and his Monado was glowing in purple before slashing Xigbar causing more damage than before.
Marcus dashed and delivered a punch against Gizumon.
"Let's do it, Agumon!" Marcus said before using the DNA Charge in his Digivice. "DNA Full… Charge!"
Agumon Warp Digivolve to… RizeGreymon!
"Powerful Flame!" RizeGreymon said before breathing fire from his mouth.
Gizumon received the attack.
Gizumon fires a red laser from his eye but RizeGreymon dodges the attack.
"Barrel Smash!" RizeGreymon attacks with the gun hitting Gizumon and follows by firing a beam barrage from his chest-cannon and three beam cannons extending from his wings hitting Gizumon. "Rising Destroyer!"
Pajiramon shoots arrows from her crossbow but Emboar and Escavalier dodged before using Arm Thrust and Fury Attack respectively against Pajiramon who retaliates by using Thunder Stomp which stomps the ground to create a quake but Escavalier used Protect which created a energy barrier to protect himself and Emboar, then the fire pig uses Flamethrower hitting Pajiramon and Escavalier uses Hyper Beam which hits Pajiramon critically.
"Escavalier, return!" Bianca said calling back Escavalier knowing that he cannot move after using Hyper Beam and called Minccino to the battle. "Go Minccino!"
Vajramon tried to slash Blaziken and Wartortle with his swords but both Pokémon dodged, then Wartortle use Rapid Spin while Blaziken use Mega Kick with both hitting Vajramon who retaliates by using Deva Blade which crosses his swords firing an energy beam towards both Pokémon but they dodged again and used Bubble Fire Spin combination which Blaziken uses Fire Spin and Wartortle uses Bubble giving an electrifying effect and damaged Vajramon.
"Really? Do we have to do this?" Larxene said facing May and Sailor Jupiter.
The female Organization member charges electricity before dashing towards them but May casts Protect to defend herself and counterattacks by using Sonic Blade and follows by casting Triple Plasma while Sailor Jupiter uses Super Thunder Dragon with both attacks hitting Larxene.
"Hey!" Larxene said after being hit.
Then she went to fast striking the two heroines before casting lightning hitting them both but May cast Curaga to heal herself and Sailor Jupiter, then May used Shotlock which allowed her to use Prism Rain while Sailor Jupiter uses Jupiter Oak Evolution with both hitting Larxene. The others were fighting against the Nobodies, Kabal was using his speed skills to beat them and also firing energy blades from his hookswords, Zigzagoon attacks by using Pin Missile and Swift, Dromarch uses Dark Maelstrom which follow up Wild Roar with an overwhelming assault, Nia performs a crossed slash with her ring blades, Tora attacks with his drill shield, Poppi uses Noponic Storm which uses a funnel of wind that pushes the enemies, Ashido was skating in the ground by using acid before using dance-like moves to hit the lesser Nobodies and fire acid shots too, Starfy was using spin attacks against the Nobodies, Riki uses Freezinate to freeze the enemies, Dunban uses Gale Slash to slash the frozen enemies and Fiora uses Butterfly Step which she overwhelm the enemies with a flurry of high-speed blows against the frozen enemies too.
"Smash!" Shulk said and his Monado was glowing in red.
He dodges a shot from Xigbar and performs Monado Smash which he thrusts his Monado and then fires a beam blade critically hitting Xigbar (Forward Smash Attack in Smash Bros series). Xigbar, Larxene, Gizumon, Vajramon and Pajiramon were cornered.
"Dunban, Riki, Fiora, let's go!" Shulk called them.
Then they perform a Chain Attack where they attack the five villains and Shulk concludes with a powerful slash. The five villains still have energy, then Pyra takes Mythra's place.
"Let's end this!" Pyra said.
"I'll lend you a hand!" Rex said grabbing the Aegis sword before performing a downward slash at the five villains.
"Burning Sword!" Rex and Pyra said performing the attack in which Rex and Pyra raise the Aegis Sword set ablaze in the air, then jump at the enemies before using a huge flaming slash and creating a large pillar of fire to hit caught villains and finish them off too.
*ENDS*
The five Organization's villains were backing up in pain.
"Danger: Critical damage." Gizumon said in a monotone voice.
"Be quiet, brain of volts…!" Larxene grunted in pain.
"They're so strong…!" Pajiramon said.
"Their skills are unique…!" Vajramon said.
"You have won this battle, but the war is far from over." Xigbar said.
The five villains disappeared in the dark corridor. The Pokémon were called back to their Pokéball, except by Zigzagoon, RizeGreymon and Sailor Jupiter went back to their regular forms.
"I think we make a great team." Rex said.
"It's true." Max said.
"Is there another titan to explore in there?" Marcus asked Rex.
"Yes, Gramps can transport us." Rex said.
Now Shulk's group who met Rex previously, they joined the team and they went above Azurda before traveling to the next titan of Alrest's world.
Cloud Sea
Azurda travels again above the sea of clouds, as the titan was traveling Shulk told about his adventures to the group and how they met Rex's group (Xenoblade Chronicles 2 DLC) and they arrived to see another titan which looks like a giant, metallic humanoid.
"That titan is so huge." Shulk said.
"It's Mor Ardain, the climate is extremely hot there resulting in desolate landscapes." Rex explained.
Azurda went to land on the humanoid titan.
Empire of Mor Ardain: Cargo Transportation Zone
In an industrial city, a girl with long brown hair, wearing a white hat, and light blue sleeveless shirt with a red skirt, light blue socks and white and red shoes, carrying a yellow bag, was walking in the city.
"Where am I?" The girl wondered. "Definitely I'm not in Kanto anymore."
She walked across the city until she found a place.
Jakolo's Inn
She entered inside the inn.
"Gosh… I'm getting tired… Now the Pokémon Center is far away from here…" The girl said feeling tired.
"Jakolo's Inn, how may I help you?" The inn receptionist asked her.
"An inn." The girl said before asking. "What is in this inn?"
"We have dorms and free hot springs." The inn receptionist said.
"Free hot springs!" The girl said a bit excited before asking. "Can I come there? I'll just take a rest there and later I'll continue on my journey."
"Yes." The inn receptionist said.
The girl went to the hot springs on the girls' side wearing a blue bikini with white stars on it and entered the hot springs.
'I never was in the hot springs of Lavaridge town, but it feels so great here, but…' She stands up in the water feeling the water's surface in the waist. 'I can't stop wondering about the news back in my home.'
She flashbacks when she was in Kanto, she watched the news about the release of Team Galactic and Team Plasma in Sinnoh and Unova regions respectively, followed by the news about the Team Rocket appearing in the fields, the fight against Samurai Man in Ecruteak city, the attack led by Seth in Rustboro city, the return of Cyrus in Eterna city, the Corrupt Groundramon's rampage in Castelia city, the attack of the Team Flare in Lumiose city, the fight of Ryu versus Lord Zedd, Petey Piranha's attack in Anistar city, Team Aqua attack in Hau'oli city, even when Lady Tremaine and Queen Grimhilde attacked Lillie and the other girls and the attack of Corrupts Digimon along with Unversed in Okoya Town; then the flashback ends.
'Many weird things happened in different regions…' The girl wondered.
After concluding the rest in the hot springs, he is back wearing her regular clothes and is outside the inn.
"I feel like new again!" She said with enthusiasm.
Empire of Mor Ardain
The girl was walking with energies after taking a rest in the hot springs but suddenly she was surrounded by Corrupts Kuwagamon, black version of Nanimon called BomberNanimon, Goblimon and Heartless like Wyverns, Neoshadows, Air Pirates and Aerial Vikings.
"Uh-oh… I'm surrounded…" The girl said before pulling out six Pokéballs. "Venusaur! Nidoqueen! Alakazam! Wigglytuff! Clefable! Granbull!"
From those six Pokéballs it came out another female Venusaur, another Nidoqueen, another Alakazam (female form), a bigger version of Jigglypuff called Wigglytuff, a bigger version of Clefairy called Clefable and another Granbull (this one is the only male in the group).
"Did you call us, Leaf?" Alakazam asked.
"Wait, you speak human language…!" Wigglytuff exclaimed before covering her mouth.
"You too spoke human language, Wigglytuff!" Clefable said.
"Let's ask the questions for later!" Granbull said.
"Granbull is right, we must fight against those weird Pokémon." Nidoqueen said.
"I don't think they're Pokémon, I never saw them before." Venusaur said.
"Venusaur is right, we must fight against them!" Leaf said.
*POKÉMON RED/BLUE MEDLEY (SUPER SMASH BROS BRAWL REMIX)*
The Heartless and Corrupts Digimon perform their attacks but Leaf's Pokémon team dodged the enemy attacks, then Venusaur attacks by using Power Whip, Sludge Bomb, Magical Leaf and Nature Power which acts as Tri Attack, Nidoqueen attacks by using Earth Power, Body Press, Surf and Ice Punch, Alakazam uses Calm Mind before using Psychic, Shock Wave and Shadow Ball, Wigglytuff attacks by using Body Slam, Disarming Voice, Drain Punch and Bounce, Clefable attacks by using Moonblast, Mystical Fire, Swift and Meteor Beam, and Grandbull attacks by using Play Rough, Crunch, Snarl and Fire Fang. However, more enemies appeared like a Rock Troll Heartless and a Corrupt Deltamon who are bigger than the previous enemies.
"Oh dear…" Lead said a bit nervously.
Just then an Ice Beam and Blizzard attacks came from nowhere and froze both enemies, Leaf saw the group of heroes coming to help.
"Need help?" May asked her and Leaf nodded. "Go Venusaur!"
She called her own Venusaur, both Pokémon stared at each other before nodding.
"Luckily, I have this." Leaf said before revealing a Mega-Bracelet.
"I see you're thinking the same as me." May said.
"Mega Evolve!" May and Leaf said together.
Then both Venusaur mega-evolved into Mega-Venusaur. Both frozen enemies had thawed.
"Me and Sailor Jupiter will take care of Deltamon!" Marcus said and Sailor Jupiter nodded.
"Venusaur, use Power Whip!" May and Leaf commanded.
Both Mega-Venusaur extended their whips which glowed with green energy before striking the Rock Troll Heartless.
"Now use Magical Leaf/Razor Leaf!" May and Leaf commanded.
Both Mega-Venusaur used their respective attacks hitting the Rock Troll Heartless.
"Now finish with Sludge Bomb!/Petal Dance!" May and Leaf commanded.
Leaf's Mega-Venusaur fires Sludge while May's Mega-Venusaur uses Petal Dance which launches petals going around the Sludge Bomb with both attacks defeating the Rock Troll Heartless. Meanwhile, with Deltamon, Marcus and Sailor Jupiter punched the Corrupt Deltamon simultaneously.
"Supreme Thunder Dragon!" Sailor Jupiter said using her attack.
"Spitfire Blast!" Agumon said using his attack.
Both attacks merged, forming a fiery dragon which defeated the Corrupt Deltamon.
*ENDS*
Both Mega-Venusaur reverted to their regular forms before returning all the Pokémon, except Zigzagoon, Skitty and Minccino.
"Alright! Alright! Alright! Alright!" May and Leaf cheered together.
"How did you get here?" Rex asked Leaf.
"It's a long story." Leaf answered.
Then she introduced herself, after hearing everyone introducing themselves, Leaf explained that she witnessed the news that she watched in the Pokémon World.
"I see, also Team Magma is back and now they joined forces with Team Aqua." May said.
"Apparently evil does not know its limits, nor do the villains know when to surrender." Marcus said.
"We need to stop those villains." Shulk said.
"I'll do my best." Leaf said.
Now Leaf joined the team, then they went back above Azurda who took flight going to the next zone.
Cloud Sea
The titan takes flight above the sea of clouds until they find a sacred city.
"What is that place?" Leaf asked.
"It's so pretty there." Bianca said.
"Amazing." Minccino added.
"It's the Indoline Praetorium." Pyra said.
"Let's go there." May said.
Indoline Praetorium
The group landed in the sacred city, then Pyra transformed into Mythra.
"They're still working so hard." Mythra said.
"What do you mean?" Ashido asked.
Then Mythra went back to Pyra.
"Let me explain to you all." Pyra said before explaining. "Malos and I are Aegises."
"Malos…?" Marcus repeated.
"It was the bad one who was chasing you before?" Agumon asked and Pyra nodded.
"Blades born with a terrible power, strong enough to destroy the world." She said.
"Well, where is Malos?" Kabal asked.
"He is gone and he won't cause us more troubles." Rex said.
Rex flashbacks when Malos was slowly dying.
"It's been fun, kid... If only I'd met you sooner... Just think of the worlds I've might seen... But even so... Hah... Kids say the damnedest things... There was only one Driver for me. All in all... It wasn't... so bad…" Malos said his last words before disappearing.
The flashbacks ended and returned back to the present and Pyra kept explaining.
"500 years ago there was a man who climbed the World Tree, hoping to make it to Elysium and meet his creator. But… When he arrived at Elysium, he found it empty. So instead as proof that he had reached the divine realm… He brought back two Core Crystals, Malos and me. And once he made it back to Alrest he awakened Malos. Why he did it, I can't say, for greed, for power or perhaps. When Malos awakened, he wielded his world-shaking power without restraint. To him, it was natural. He had never known anything else. I was awakened by a Driver who was determined to stop Malos' rampage. So Malos and I fought. I fought with all my might, and succeeded in defeating Malos. But not without a price. Three great Titans fell in the struggle. After the battle I sealed myself away to ensure that power would be never unleashed again. I took the form you're seeing now, and I fell into a long slumber." Pyra explained the Aegis War.
"After I found her, I had to protect her from Malos, and after defeating him once and for all, Alrest is now safe." Rex said.
"That rampage reminded me of the one that I watched in the Digital World." Marcus said.
"Really, Mar-Marcus?" Tora asked.
"Just Marcus, got it memorized?" Marcus said imitating Lea's phrase (funny because they were voiced by the same actor) before explaining. "As I was saying, Kurata was really obsessed to get rid of all the Digimon and for doing that, he created a weapon called Gizumon, the same Digimon that we fought before, it has the ability to destroy the Digimon along with the Digi-Egg too and destroying them permanently. Also, Mythra wasn't the only one who used her power to destroy, not voluntarily. When Thomas and Gaogamon joined at Kurata's side, I was enraged and I let that my anger took me completely and as answer, ShineGreymon turned into ShineGreymon Ruin Mode, my sister Christy helped me to come back to my senses and I tried to stop my Digimon, but despite he destroyed a lot of Gizumon, ShineGreymon destroyed himself and reverted into a Digi-Egg, somehow miraculously Agumon was reborn and never lost his memories."
"Oh… Thank goodness…" Leaf said with relief.
"It's kind of hard to believe that we have a lot in common." Rex said.
"First the Crystal Cores along with the Digimon and the Digi-Egg, now the rampage of the Aegis War and the Digital World too." Dromarch said.
"Look Rex, this time we must work together and protect everyone too." Marcus said, offering his hand.
"Okay." Rex said before shaking Marcus' hand.
Then they heard someone approaching, it was two people, one was a small robot with blue upper armor, red wings, a red gun in the right, a yellow gun in the left arm, white thighs, and white-blue boots, and the other is a boy teenager wearing a yellow shirt, black pants, brown shoes and he is wielding a sword and a machine gun.
"Excuse me, are you guys from another world?" The blond-haired teen said.
"Yes." Max answered.
"Us two we were brought back by a portal." The robot said.
"Can you tell us your names?" Ashido asked.
"I'm Saki Amamiya." Saki introduced himself.
"My name is Ray Mk III." Ray Mk III introduced himself.
After introducing themselves, they explained the actual situation.
"I see someone is trying to threaten my world." Saki said.
"I'll help you all too." Ray Mk III said.
Later they went to the next area as Azurda took flight.
Temperantia
The group was now in a manta ray-like Titan.
"If I'm not wrong, the titan was like a Mantine." Max said.
"This titan is temperantia." Rex explained.
Suddenly they heard someone fighting.
"Boss, I can hear someone fighting there!" Agumon said.
"Let's go, Agumon!" Marcus said and they went to the source of the fight.
Temperantia: Bardina Plateau
In that place Blackmon was fighting against some people, a brown-haired boy with blue eyes wearing royal clothes, a black-haired man with the hair tied into a ponytail wearing samurai clothes, and the last one is a pink being made of spheres.
"What do you want from us!?" The samurai asked.
"Nothing personal, I'm just following orders." Blackmon said.
"What do you mean?" The boy asked.
"Oh, why are you so curious? Very well, even though Seth stole the Digi-Cube it is the cause which makes a lot of Dimensional Rifts appear and they are bringing heroes from different worlds, later many of them are joining with the Digidestined." Blackmon explained.
"Digidestined…?" The being of pink spheres asked.
"Well, enough chit chat, it's time to use my Black Boost!" Blackmon said before using his Black Boost attack which hit the three people. "Now I'll use my Calamity Claws!"
"Oh no you won't!" Marcus' voice said.
When Blackmon turned to see Marcus was in front of him and punched the wannabe dark warrior in the face while Marcus unleashed the DNA Charge.
"You'll pay for punching my face!" Blackmon exclaimed.
"Are you three okay?" Dunban asked the three new ones.
"Yeah." The boy answered.
"Thank you." The samurai said while bowing.
The new ones introduced themselves, the boy is the Prince of Sablé, the samurai is Takamaru and the pink being is Sukapon.
"This time I'll test all your skills by myself, even if the old warrior of darkness is not here." Blackmon said.
*FORZE DEL MALE (KINGDOM HEARTS 1.5 REMIX)*
"We'll see about that!" Marcus said.
"Boss, I don't know how powerful Blackmon is." Agumon said.
"Let's try it with Mega." Marcus said. "DNA… Overdrive Charge!"
Agumon Double Warp Digivolve to… ShineGreymon!
ShineGreymon was ready for the battle, Bianca called Escavalier, Leaf called her Alakazam, May called her Beautifly, then Saki started by shooting his Dolphin Gun while Takamaru throws Windmill Swords with both hitting Blackmon, Dunban and Fiora dashed before slashing Blackmon with their weapons.
"Snarl Blast!" Blackmon said before unleashing a dark sonic blast from his mouth but Pyra blocked the attack with her light barrier.
Skitty uses Assist which acts as String Shot attack tying up Blackmon, then Escavalier uses Iron Head while Zigzagoon uses Headbutt with both hitting the black panther-like Digimon, Alakazam uses Psychic to slam Blackmon to the ground, Beautifly uses Silver Wind while Minccino uses Swift with both hitting the fake warrior of darkness who finally untied himself.
"Calamity Claw!" He said before trying to claw them but they dodged the attack.
Then Ray Mk III fires green shots and missiles while Sukapon sent his own head with both hitting Blackmon, the Prince of Sablé transformed into a snake before hitting repeatedly at the black panther-like Digimon and after hitting him the prince went back to his regular form, Starfy and Ashido perform their spinning attacks with both hitting Blackmon.
"Black Boost!" Blackmon said trying to attack but he was blocked by May who used Protecga.
Then she performs Thunder Edge and follows by using Sonic Blade three times against him, Dromarch uses Wild Roar, Poppi uses Jet Biter which attacks with the Big Mecha Biter, Tora uses his Drill Shield while Nia uses her ring blades with both hitting Blackmon, Rex and Shulk followed by slashing Blackmon diagonally with their weapons.
"Black…" Blackmon tries to attack.
"Roly-Poly!" Riki says and trips Blackmon to the ground.
"Shine Hammer!" ShineGreymon said before punching Blackmon with light.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Sailor Jupiter said using her attack which zapped Blackmon.
Kabal dashes quickly through Blackmon causing him to spin, then he slams his feet against Blackmon below the knees before stabbing his hookswords in Blackmon's back and swung around slamming Blackmon to the ground, then Minccino uses Thunderbolt while Beautifly uses Silver Wind with both hitting Blackmon.
"It's enough! It's enough!" Blackmon said accumulating purple energy. "Kinetic Explosion!"
Then he suddenly causes an explosion of purple energy hitting everyone.
"He still has energy…!" Rex said getting up.
"We cannot give up, together we will defeat him!" Marcus said.
"You're right, boss!" ShineGreymon said.
"Let's end this together!" Pyra said.
"Calamity…!" Blackmon said trying to attack but he suddenly felt a paralysis after receiving the Thunderbolt attack. "What is this!?"
"Oh right, Thunderbolt can paralyze the opponents too, this is your chance!" Bianca told Marcus and Rex.
